ABC investigative journalist Michele McPhee says authorities are looking into Hanley Ramirez’s possible relationship to a large fentanyl distribution case in Massachusetts....
Jackie Bradley Jr. Threw The Fuck Out Of This Ball
Jackie Bradley Jr. has been having a truly nightmarish season at the plate. The kind you tell your kids about, the kind that would otherwise warrant a player riding the bench for much of the year. We’re talking about a .182/.279/.297, four-dingers-through-65-games sort of season. But his defense is ...
Chowdahead On The Field At Fenway Park Gets Blindsided By Security In The Outfield<em></em>
An idiot on the field at Fenway Park during tonight’s Tigers-Red Sox game made it all the way to center field in his mad dash to ... well, I don’t know exactly. Whatever he was looking for, I don’t think it was a security guard takedown as bone-shaking as this one:...
Every J.D. Martinez Swing Is Terrifying
Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez became the first player to 20 home runs tonight, hitting the dong milestone with a high, deep fly to centerfield against his old team the Tigers. It was only the beginning of his reign of terror....
This Jackie Bradley Jr. Over-The-Shoulder Circus Catch Is Totally Unfair
In the top of the sixth inning of today’s Blue Jays-Red Sox game in Boston, Kendrys Morales crushed a long fly ball to the deepest part of Fenway, in straightaway center. This was a double, for sure, except that Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is a comic book superhero:...
Mookie Betts Played Kevin Gausman For A Fool
Mookie Betts, the best non–Mike Trout player in baseball who makes everything look impossibly easy, has a history of showing as little mercy as possible to the division rival Baltimore Orioles. He continued that trend during last night’s 6-2 victory over the O’s in Boston....
Heck Yeah, J.D. Martinez Is Smashing Dingers Like Clockwork Again
New Red Sox signing J.D. Martinez had a very, very good first month in a Boston uniform—an April OPS of .994 is nothing to sneeze at—but Just Dingers has truly been living up to his nickname since May began. And in his first at-bat tonight against the Orioles, J.D.’s fifth-gear hot streak got even m...
Red Sox Pitcher Carson Smith Suffers Potentially Major Injury After Throwing His Glove In Frustration
Carson Smith tossed one inning in relief for the Red Sox in yesterday’s loss to the Oakland A’s, giving up a home run to Khris Davis. After he left the game, he was apparently mad at himself, and he tossed his glove in frustration. That’s a normal and fine reaction, but Smith injured himself doing s...
The New Red Sox Dugout Band Ain't Half Bad
The Boston Red Sox have a nice storied history of bench players exploring their musical gifts while not taking part in the action on the field, specifically in the cases of a couple different “bullpen bands” that played instruments like “the water bottles” and “the spoons.” Before their game tonight...
Mookie Betts Makes Baseball Look Too Damn Easy
Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts is having a ridiculous season. He leads the majors in dingers and runs and batting average and OPS, and he’s 25 years old, and, not coincidentally, his team is tied for the best record in baseball. And he’s a two-time Gold Glove winner. And he bowls perfect games. It’...
David Price Vows To Stop Playing <i>Fortnite </i>At Ballpark After Being Hounded About It
Although the Boston Red Sox are currently in a fine state, David Price is not. The lefty pitcher has a 5.11 ERA after he barfed up seven earned runs in 3 2/3 innings against the lowly Rangers, and he was scratched from Wednesday’s start against the Yankees due to a “mild case” of carpal tunnel syndr...
Boston Finally Renamed The Street Honoring The Red Sox's Racist Former Owner
The two-block-long street just outside of Fenway Park will henceforth be known as Jersey Street after the Boston Public Improvement Commission voted unanimously to approve a proposal by Red Sox ownership to change the street’s name from Yawkey Way. Red Sox owner John Henry announced his plan to chan...
Surging Red Sox Abruptly Shut Down By No-Hitter By Oakland's Sean Manaea<em></em>
Sean Manaea, a rare bright spot on an otherwise mediocre A’s squad, threw the seventh no-hitter in team history against a Red Sox lineup that has averaged more than six runs a game this season. ...
Phil Nevin Is Still Pissed That Alex Cora Waved At Him From The Dugout
While you might think that the ugliest part of last night’s Yankees-Red Sox donnybrook was guys like Joe Kelly and Tyler Austin trying to bloody each other in the infield, Yankees third-base coach Phil Nevin has other concerns—namely, hand waving from Red Sox manager Alex Cora....
Let's Enjoy Some Pictures Of The Day In Baseball Donnybrooks
Baseball featured one tussle in the afternoon (Padres-Rockies, after a few hit batsmen) and one in the evening (Yankees-Red Sox, after one hit batsman and one hard slide) and, as always, the resulting photographs from Getty and the Associated Press are much more engrossing than any video can be. Her...
Red Sox, Yankees Put On A Brawl
Just a few hours after baseball’s last benches-clearing brawl, here’s another solid one for you. The Red Sox and Yankees got into a tussle in the seventh inning tonight, after Boston’s Joe Kelly hit Tyler Austin in retaliation for a spikes-up slide earlier in the game. Austin slammed his bat down, K...
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:...

MLB Suspends Steven Wright 15 Games For Violating Domestic Violence Policy
