LOL. LMAO even. The Sox never trailed until the final run crossed the plate, having built a 2-0 win methodically over the previous eight innings. This was a Little League-ass game (complimentary enough): Against starting pitchers neither team could do much, but the Sox eventually broke through on a sixth-inning RBI double by Willson Contreras. […]

This? Folks, this is bad. The last-place Red Sox, at 31-44, are better than the last-place Rockies, at 30-48. That’s the good news. It’s extremely relative. The Red Sox are a walking catastrophe. If it wasn’t for the Scottish fans, would Fenway have hummed even a little last week? I think not. Now they’re in […]

Whenever Colorado Rockies pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) pitches or speaks to the media, you may notice the man who flanks him. This is Yuto Sakurai, who has served as Sugano’s interpreter for the last two years. However, before Sakuari worked for Sugano, he had other roles that shaped how he approaches his current work. […]

In the game thread, I joked that if the Red Sox were going to get hot, now would be the time to do so. They’re heading to Colorado next for a three-game series with the Rockies, the only team in baseball with fewer wins than the Red Sox. After that, they have a four-game series […]
Coming into Sunday’s afternoon game with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Colorado Rockies were looking to finish the sweep after Friday and Saturday night wins in games that had, well, stressful conclusions. The hope on Sunday was to finish the job in a less-dramatic fashion. That did not happen as the Rockies bats stayed quiet early […]

The Rockies announced three roster moves on Sunday, including the selection of John Brebbia‘s contract from Triple-A Albuquerque.
