Let’s go back to 2013. David Ortiz was putting together an all-star season at 37 years old, but on one July night in Baltimore, he was melting down. After arguing with umpire Tim Timmons’ strike zone, Papi got ejected. So he went back into the Red Sox dugout and destroyed the in-dugout phone....

It only took him 89 pitches to take care of the Orioles tonight, 65 of which were strikes. That’s the fewest pitches i...
Dellin Betances Chose A Bad Time To Unravel
There are few safer bets for a bullpen than Dellin Betances—which makes sense, seeing as how he strikes out more than 40 percent of the batters he faces. So when the Yankees handed Betances a 5-2 lead in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game against the Red Sox, a win seemed all but guaranteed....
Yankees-Red Sox Game Delayed By Stuck Fenway Door

Darren Rovell—a living, breathing blazer from Northwestern’s business school—is fond of tweeting out pictures. Sometimes, it’s a cake that’s shaped like a shoe, and usually it’s a piece of truly fucked up junk food from a stadium. Tonight, he posted a very well-composed picture of the Chicago White ...
Andrew Benintendi May Have Just Made The Catch Of The Season
David Price pitched a gem for the Red Sox this evening, striking out eight men and only giving up two hits in eight innings of work. His night would have been a lot less spectacular, had Andrew Benintendi not flown across the outfield to leap up on top of the wall to rob Steven Souza of a dinger....
Adam Eaton Hits A Grand Slam While Blowing A Bubble
