Can The Red Sox Get Any More Out Of Pablo Sandoval?
After returning to action for only a few weeks following a right knee sprain, Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval is back on the DL with an ear infection, and now it seems increasingly unlikely that he’ll play much meaningful baseball ever again....
Here's A Fun Story About How George Springer Came To Use Mookie Betts's Little Bat
Red Sox star Mookie Betts uses a weird bat that’s gotten a lot of attention over the last few seasons. Instead of the normal knob that is standard on wooden bats, the bottom of Betts’s looks more like an axe handle; logic is that the more streamlined handle leads to fewer blisters on the palm....
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...
White Sox Announcer Rejects Fried Pickle
As the Chicago White Sox were beating the hell out of the Baltimore Orioles—a bullshit team favored by Deadspin staffer Laura Wagner and Gizmodo Media Special Projects Desk deputy editor Tom Scocca—play-by-play man Jason Benetti offered a fried pickle to color man Steve Stone, who refused to enjoy i...
White Sox Batter Attempts To Reach Base Using Novel Technique
Why the Chicago White Sox claimed Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Alen Hanson off waivers last week and then added him to their roster remains unclear. Hanson, 24, hit .205/.239/.261 in parts of two seasons in the National League; his minor-league record doesn’t suggest he has much to offer at the plat...
David Price Is Having A Bad Week
Before getting lit up by the Yankees for six runs in five innings Thursday night, David Price spent time arguing with the Boston media, which is a fate worse than death....
White Sox Benefit From Series Of Cartoonish Errors And Misplays, Still Fail To Score
Willy Garcia was the very lucky recipient of one bad read, one fumbled catch and one airmailed throw on a fly ball he hit to deep right field tonight. Granted all of those advantages, he was then thrown out at the plate:...
How Did Umpires Declare This A Home Run?
Rays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier’s defense has such a strong reputation that when he misplayed this fly ball in the first inning of Tampa Bay’s game Tuesday against the White Sox, umpires decided the ball must have struck one of Tropicana Field’s rings—and awarded batter Yolmer Sanchez a home run....
Red Sox Announcer Jerry Remy Says Pitchers Shouldn't Get Translators, Should "Learn Baseball Language"
Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy took bizarre exception to Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka being visited by Japanese translator Shingo Horie and pitching coach Larry Rothschild in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game....
One Useless Man Is Called A Disgrace, Two Are Called A Law Firm, And Three Or More Become The White Sox<em></em>
And by God, I have had these White Sox!...
White Sox Fans To Endure One More Partial Season Of Hawk Harrelson
Ken “Hawk” Harrelson announced yesterday that he has changed his plans to broadcast White Sox games until he dies in the booth and will instead retire following next season....
White Sox Promote Adam Engel From Triple-A
Today, the Chicago White Sox promoted center fielder Adam Engel from Triple-A Charlotte, where he was hitting .221/.312/.463. Engel takes a roster spot vacated by utility man Tyler Saladino, who is on the 10-day disabled list with “sciatic nerve related stuff.” Engel got a hit in the eighth inning o...
Red Sox Strike Out 20 After Four-K Ninth Inning, Tie Major-League Record
Behind perhaps the least marquee starter in their rotation in Drew Pomeranz, the Red Sox struck out 20 batters tonight to tie a major-league record....
White Sox Manager Not Worried About White Sox Ace's Lousy Night
White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana laid an egg tonight. The Diamondbacks battered Quintana and sent him packing after 4.1 innings, slapping eight hits and scoring eight runs off of 76 Quintana pitches. Seven Diamondbacks struck out, but tonight was easily Quintana’s worst night of the season. His ERA 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...
White Sox Create Hellish Artifact
Why an alarm clock that wakes you up by having Hawk Harrelson scream “You can put it on the board ... YESSSS!” at you exists I just can’t tell you, though Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune has reported that we came close to living in a reality where the clock yelled “You gotta be bleepin’ me!” at ...
Zack Greinke Is Back To Humiliating Men At The Plate<em></em>
There’s no player in baseball—and maybe all of sports—quite like Zack Greinke. The man is a machine: efficient on the field, serious and direct off it, and constantly experimenting. He’s lost around five miles per hour off his fastball over the years, but Greinke on a night when he’s going well is s...
White Sox Announcers Have Inane Conversation
Chicago White Sox announcer Steve Stone has been one of the best color men in baseball for decades, and for half the year—the half he spends calling Sox home games with Jason Benetti—he remains one. During the other half of the year, which he spends calling Sox road games with Hawk Harrelson, he bec...
Reports: White Sox Sign Cuban Top Prospect Luis Robert
The White Sox are finishing up a deal with Cuban top prospect Luis Robert worth more than $25 million, as first reported by Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and confirmed by several others. The team will have to pay more than $20 million in overage taxes for surpassing their international bonus pool, as ...
Curt Schilling Says No One Denies Racism Exists, Denies Racism Exists
Curt Schilling, former Red Sox pitcher and possibly an adult who does not grasp the concept of object permanence, had questions when Orioles outfielder Adam Jones said he was the target of racial slurs at a May 1 game at Fenway Park. Jones respectfully said, in an interview published Tuesday, that S...
