Introduction Based on everything I’ve seen, it is incredibly difficult being a general manager of a major league baseball team. You have to balance the needs of the present and the future, wrangle the egos of any number of high-profile individuals, and negotiate with a media ecosystem that must always be fed and is likely […]
Braves News Brian Snitker was inducted to the Braves Hall of Fame on Saturday. The Braves lost what essentially turned into a coin flip of a game to the Phillies and will now go for a series win behind Chris Sale today. MLB News The Red Sox fired most of their coaching staff after a […]
The Yankees arrived in Houston with all the momentum and a six-game winning streak following a sweep of the now-skipperless Red Sox at Fenway. A couple days later, they’re eyeing yet another dusting of a rival on the road. Behind a poised start from Ryan Weathers and an offense that continues to “have liftoff,” the […]
The Civil War that’s been bubbling beneath the surface clashing Alex Cora’s and Craig Breslow’s philosophies on how to run the Boston Red Sox finally came to a head on Saturday evening. The rumbles started with this tweet from Jared Carrabis … … And were confirmed within the hour across the baseball universe. Noticeably not […]
It’s hard for me to get overly upset about Alex Cora’s sudden ouster this afternoon. This is a man who returned to the team after a one-year suspension for cheating, after all, which is a very weird thing to have happened. We were always on borrowed time, and for a good amount of that time, […]
Recap The second inning showcased what Sox fans have been waiting for all season: hits in the air, a stolen base, a couple of walks, everyone keeping the line moving. The Sox sent nine batters to the plate and scored three runs, breaking the spell and waking us, and themselves, from the stupor of this […]
Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug. The next day after putting a big number up against Boston, the Orioles were on the receiving end of an ugly beatdown. By the time the dust settled, the O’s fell back below .500 with a 17-1 demolition at the hands of their last […]
They couldn’t have announce this before I hit publish on the last post? Trey Yesavage will make Tuesday’s start for the Jays, against the Red Sox. That doesn’t quite lineup with Max Scherzer’s next start, which would be Wednesday if the rotation stayed the same. Whoops, now I see that Eric Lauer is being moved […]
The Orioles hit so many home runs last night that they put up a message on the video board that there were no more fireworks to be had. This turned out to not be the case in the most literal sense, as the small little post-victory burst of fireworks still went off. It was fun, […]
Game time was moved up due to inclement weather. Can this be the shakeup that begins to turn things around for the Sox? We’ll just have to see how this plays out. How to Watch and Listen First pitch is at 12:05 PM ET on NESN and WEEI. Lineups

The Yankees won their seventh straight game on Friday, demolishing the Astros to the tune of 12-4 thanks to the entirety of their infield hitting home runs. The win came with a cost, as Giancarlo Stanton left in the sixth inning after appearing to aggravate something in his leg while running the bases, but the […]
I think 20 hits and six home runs against says it all. Thank you, next. Studs Wilyer Abreu (2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI) You go down 4-0 after a single frame, what would you hope happens? A home run in the top of the 2nd could have been just what this team needed to turn […]
Worcester: L, 0-3 (BOX SCORE) The Mets pitching staff pulled off a fantastic bullpen game on the uninspired WooSox offense. Worcester got just two hits on the night on the six pitchers Syracuse marched out, which totally upstaged whatever goodwill the Worcester staff got by allowing just one extra base hit on the night. There […]
Good morning Birdland, That felt good! We have been waiting for this Orioles offense, which is loaded with potential, to finally break out and show us their power. They did exactly that on Friday night, blasting six home runs as part of a 10-3 dismantling of the visiting Red Sox. It could not have gone […]
It’s more than fair to wonder whether Brayan Bello is on the verge of losing his spot in the starting rotation. Bello has been the Sox’ clear weak link, posting an ERA of exactly 9.00 after 5 starts this year. But with Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo currently on the shelf, Alex Cora says Bello […]
Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad […]
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: Among the many positives to come out of the Yankees’ sweep of the Red Sox was the first homer of the year from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who saw his OPS rise almost 60 points during the series. Chisholm credited a small mechanical tweak as a possible reason for […]
The Orioles’ offense had been looking for a “get right game” all season; they finally found it Friday night agains the Red Sox, as they launched six long balls and collected 20 hits in a 10-3 win over the Red Sox. The O’s had struggled all season to get off to hot starts, but you […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have demolished the Red Sox by a 10-3 score, a beatdown so thorough that they literally ran out of in-game pyrotechnics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards because the O’s hit so many home runs. Gunnar Henderson led off the O’s hitting in the game with a homer, Adley […]
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: RHP Brandon Young (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 K) vs. RHP Brayan Bello (1-2, 6.75 ERA, 13 K) The Orioles return to Camden Yards Friday night after a road trip that had more reasons for concern than celebration.

Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott went toe to toe with Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet on Opening Day in Great American Ball Park, and did so admirably. Abbott fired 6.0 IP of scoreless ball for the Reds, scattering 7 hits and a walk while striking out 4 in an 83 pitch effort that kept […]
