The Red Sox Saluted Don Orsillo After His Final Game
Boston’s last game was also the last Red Sox game for Don Orsillo after 15 years of calling play-by-play.

Don Orsillo Was At His Best When The Red Sox Were Boring
Longtime Red Sox play-by-play man Don Orsillo is reportedly leaving NESN at the end of season. His contract is up and NESN’s higher-ups don’t seem to enjoy him.

Pablo Sandoval Makes Great, Hilarious Catch
Pablo Sandoval is having a pretty terrible year, which is sad because he’s one of my favorite players in the league. When he’s good, he’s a slapstick artist who just happens to be blessed with the ability to sock dingers and play a slick third base. Anyway, given how bad he’s been this year, it was ...

Mookie Betts's Tumbling Catch Results In A Homer After He Drops Ball
This is a pretty strange play right here. Tracking down a sixth inning bomb from Jose Abreu, Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts made the catch on the warning track.

Shane Victorino Sad
The Red Sox traded outfielder Shane Victorino to the Angels in exchange for infielder Josh Rutledge and cash considerations. This is good news for Victorino, who just came off the DL and is going from a last-place team to a first-place squad, but Victorino still got emotional about his time with the...
