Marcus Stroman And The Red Sox Had Themselves A Little Squabble
What happened between Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman and the Red Sox in Tuesday’s game doesn’t rise to the level of a feud or beef. It could better be described as a tiff, or perhaps a bunfight....
Rockies Strike Out 24 Times, Still Manage To Beat Red Sox
Tuesday night the Colorado Rockies became the third team since 1908 to strike out at least 24 times in a major league game and also win. They did it by beating the Boston Red Sox in extra innings, 5–4, on a game-winning RBI single from Mark Reynolds, who knows a thing or two about striking out a lot...
Chris Sale Is Messed Up Right Now
A fun way for a runner on third to give the middle finger to a pitcher without drawing a fine or suspension is to just straight-up steal home, when the ball’s in the pitcher’s hand. “I am not afraid of you,” the thief says. “I will make an extremely dumb choice and come away unscathed, because you w...
Chris Sale Does Not Have A Belly Button Ring, But It'd Be A Lot Cooler If He Did
Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale was forced him to miss his Game 5 start of the ALCS after he was hospitalized with an unspecified stomach illness. On Saturday, he used his deadpan personality to convince reporters that his health condition was something from a spring-break trip gone wrong:...
Red Sox Survive Near Ass-Shitting, Eliminate Yankees
The Red Sox went for the kill Tuesday night. Ahead 4–1 headed to the bottom of the eighth inning, Alex Cora sent ace Chris Sale to the mound in relief. This should of course not screw with Sale’s availability in the ALCS, but it is for sure not a decision that was taken lightly. ...
Can The Red Sox Trust Chris Sale?
Chris Sale’s final regular season start for the Red Sox met expectations, at least in the most basic sense. The word before his start Wednesday night was that he would throw around 90 pitches, and he left the game after tossing 92. Against the lowly Orioles, Sale went 4.2 innings, getting eight Ks a...
It's Time For Another Entry In The Stupidly Deep Oeuvre Of Sweet Jackie Bradley, Jr. Catches
Would you like to see the empty eyes of a man who’s almost positive that he’s just fucked up, with nothing left for him to do about it? From the second inning of tonight’s Red Sox-Marlins game, here’s Chris Sale after leaving one right over the plate for Justin Bour:...
Chris Sale Leaves Game After Getting Drilled By Comebacker
Chris Sale left today’s spring training game against the Astros two outs into the first inning after a J.D. Davis line drive up the middle struck the Red Sox ace in the leg....
The Red Sox And Astros Got Bullpen Crazy In Game 4
This afternoon’s ALDS Game 4 between the Astros and Red Sox was wild and messy, and it’ll be a difficult one to top both in terms of drama and bullpen management....
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...
Chris Sale Strikes Out 10, Gets Only Extra-Base Hit For Red Sox, Still Loses
Chris Sale pitched seven shutout innings against the Phillies before giving up just one run in the eighth. He allowed five baserunners over his complete game. He struck out 10. He got the only extra-base hit of the game for the Red Sox (and the first of his career), in the form of an eighth-inning l...
Chris Sale's Double-Digit Strikeout Streak Is Over
Tonight, for the first time in six weeks, Chris Sale did not appear to be a hyper-effective strikeout-generating android. Instead, he simply seemed like your ordinarily effective strikeout-generating cyborg. That’s all to say that after eight straight games of 10 strikeouts or more, he finally falte...
The Red Sox Need To Chill The Hell Out
No one seems to understand why the drama between the Red Sox and Orioles is still ongoing, but it’s well past time for the Sox to cut the shit....
Manny Machado Repeatedly Curses Red Sox's "Fucking Bullshit," Says He Has No Respect For Organization<em></em>
Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale threw behind Orioles third baseman Manny Machado on the first pitch of his at-bat tonight. Sale’s message was the latest slice of beef that started with Machado sliding into Dustin Pedroia over a week ago. Machado crushed a homer off Sale later in tonight’s game to get hi...
Manny Machado Gets Revenge Against Chris Sale For Throwing Behind Him By Smacking A Towering Homer
The Boston Red Sox have been mad at Manny Machado for over a week now, ever since he spiked Dustin Pedroia while sliding into second base. They tried to plunk him in retaliation the day after, but that attempt went sideways and Matt Barnes got tossed without even getting to hit Machado....
Former White Sox Pitches Effectively
Former Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale pitched yet another great game today. With his four-seamer and slider in especially nasty form, he put the golden sombrero on José Bautista and struck out 13 Toronto Blue Jays in total over eight scoreless innings in a 4-1 win for the Boston Red Sox. Sale now ...
