Hell Yes, Now The Red Sox Are Accusing The Yankees Of Cheating
If this sign-stealing scandal is truly going to reignite the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox, it needs to hit a few more stages of escalation. Thankfully, the Red Sox have reportedly brought us to Stage Two, by running to the commissioner’s office and yelling, But, but, but! The Yankees are ...

Red Sox Bosses Don't Like It When You Call Them To Chat About The Team's Sign-Stealing Scheme<em></em>
This morning, a day after news broke that the Red Sox allegedly used technology to steal signs from the Yankees, I called up executives from both teams to ask about how the smartwatch-assisted, sign-stealing operation came to be and what they thought would and should happen next....

Red Sox Outlast Blue Jays With Hanley Ramírez Walk-Off<em></em> In Brutal 19-Inning Slog
There was a point tonight—this morning, actually—when the Red Sox made a mid-17th-inning pitching change so that Ezequiel Carrera could face Fernando Abad instead of Blaine Boyer. That is what this Boston-Toronto game was. That, and the Blue Jays’ franchise-record 23 strikeouts. That’s it....

Report: Red Sox Used Smartwatch To Steal Signs Against Yankees
The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry hasn’t been particularly contentious for a while, with the last waypoint being that time Boston called out Michael Pineda for the obvious pine tar on his hand. Maybe a good sign-stealing feud will bring it back....

Well, Here Are The Yankees And Red Sox Bickering Over The Integrity Of Bunting
The Yankees beat the Red Sox, 6-2, tonight. The game included a first-inning bunt by Boston second baseman Eduardo Nuñez, which greatly displeased Yankees starter C.C. Sabathia, and now we have another riveting chapter in the storied rivalry between these two franchises....

Chris Sale Made Some People Look Very Stupid
Chris Sale pitched against the Toronto Blue Jays last night, and he struck out 11 batters in seven innings in a 3-0 win. “Struck out 11 batters” doesn’t quite describe what happened on that field, though. It’s more accurate to say that Sale demoralized 11 batters....

Chris Sale Has A Cleveland Problem
Chris Sale’s night in Cleveland on Thursday was shockingly bad by the Cy Young frontrunner’s 2017 standards, but unsurprising given what the Indians have done to Sale in his career. In an eventual 13-6 loss for the Red Sox, Sale gave up six earned runs (seven total) on seven hits and three walks. It...

Cleveland Wins On Walk-Off Error With Sacrifice Bunt
What could have been a very bad night for Cleveland—losing star reliever Andrew Miller to a re-aggravated knee injury after just seven pitches and first baseman Carlos Santana to back pain in the eighth inning—ended up in victory, albeit via somewhat unconventional means. A sacrifice bunt from Rober...

Errant First Pitch At Red Sox Game Nails Photographer In The Dick And Balls
Maybe this dude shouldn’t have been urged to “fire it in there,” because boy did he ever fire it (the baseball) in there (this dude’s dick and balls)....

Rafael Devers Is 17 Games Into His Major-League Career And Already Getting Intentionally Walked
It’s now been nearly three weeks since Red Sox top prospect Rafael Devers got the call to the big leagues, moving on up at the ripe ol’ age of 20 after spending just nine games at Triple-A. It’s gone better than the team ever could have hoped. In his first 16 major-league games, Devers has hit .339/...

Rafael Devers's Home Run Broke This Yankees Fan
The Red Sox came back to beat the Yankees 3-2 and win the rubber game of their series thanks to their rookies: A ninth-inning home run from Rafael Devers and a 10th-inning single from Andrew Benintendi. And Devers’s homer silenced one very excited Yankees fan:...

Don Baylor Dead At 68
An easy way to measure an athlete’s influence on his or her sport is to consider what they meant to different groups of fans. Don Baylor, who died of cancer today at age 68, was many things to many people....

Boston And Cleveland Just Played The Game Of The Year
When we last checked in on tonight’s Indians-Red Sox matchup, Austin Jackson was making an unforgettable catch for one of the year’s best highlights. The rest of the night lived up to that play....

Austin Jackson Flips Into The Bullpen For An All-Time Catch
The Indians and the Red Sox are in the middle of a thrilling shootout at Fenway, but Cleveland center fielder Austin Jackson was at least able to prevent one additional run from getting on the board. With Cleveland leading 7-5 in the bottom of the fifth, Jackson went over the bullpen wall to rob Han...

Mets Ship Addison Reed Up To Boston
It’s trade deadline day, and the stove is simmering....

Many People Are Saying Lorenzo Cain's Elegant 302-Foot Dinger Is The Greatest
One thing Lorenzo Cain understands that big mashing goons like Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper still haven’t mastered with all their grotesque and gratuitous moonshots is the precision and understated majesty of the, umm, short ball:...

The Prodigy Rafael Devers Dings A Dong For First Career Hit
Rafael Devers, just called up by the Boston Red Sox, is the youngest player in baseball. Today was only the second MLB game ever for the 20-year-old third baseman, but he has already made an impact:...

Red Sox Admit That WEEI Hosts Say Some Shitty Things
WEEI is where to go to hear Boston Red Sox games on the radio. It’s been that way for most years since 1995, and it will continue to be that way through 2023. Despite the partnership, the team can still acknowledge that the radio station encourages some terrible people....

Here's Why David Price Blew Up At Dennis Eckersley<em></em>
It’s been a contentious couple of months for Red Sox starter David Price, who only made his season debut on Memorial Day and has seemingly spent as much time shouting at Boston media members as actually pitching. Last month he got into it with CSNNE’s Evan Drellich over an entirely inoffensive tweet...

Red Sox Mercifully End Pablo Sandoval's Sad, Horrendous Time In Boston<em></em>
Since signing a five-year, $95 million contract with the Boston Red Sox in 2015, Pablo Sandoval has been an unqualified disaster. Sandoval played just 161 games in two and a half seasons with the Red Sox, hitting .237/.286/.360/with 14 home runs. When he wasn’t hurt or playing poorly, he struggled t...
