Todd Frazier Busted His Face Up Diving Into The Stands

Sometimes when you dive into the stands, you come up with the catch of the season, and sometimes, you get soda all over yourself and smash your face up....

White Sox Bullpen Catcher Snatches A Homer With His Bare Hand

I like bullpen catchers. They all look like jovial dads who would be happy to help you with your math homework before heading out to the backyard to have a catch. They never get any camera time, so it’s nice to see one shine when he gets the chance:...

Hanley Ramirez Clobbered The Bejesus Out Of This Pitch

Sean Manaea is the best pitching prospect in the pipeline for the Oakland A’s, but when you’re a rookie, you’re gonna get knocked around a bit no matter your pedigree. For example: He put a pitch into the middle of the zone against Hanley Ramirez this evening in Boston, and the converted first basem...

Don't Mess With Hanley Ramirez's Dirt

Hanley Ramirez has gone from a man lost in left field to a pleasant surprise at first base with the Red Sox. He cares deeply about the area he covers, as evidenced in Monday’s game when Athletics outfielder Coco Crisp tried to alter the infield dirt....

David Ortiz Held Back From Ump After Striking Out With Bases Loaded

Red Sox coaches had to restrain David Ortiz after his outburst following a ninth-inning strikeout with the bases loaded in a game the Yankees went on to win, 3-2....

Katie Nolan Wants To Adopt A Bench In Central Park For David Ortiz [Update]

Red Sox slugger David Ortiz will be receiving gifts from MLB teams for his farewell season—the funniest outcome would be the Yankees giving him nothing—and Katie Nolan is hoping to add to the pile. On last night’s episode of Garbage Time, Nolan shared her plan to get Big Papi a gift while simultaneo...

Pablo Sandoval's Short, Sad Season Is Reportedly Over

The Red Sox announced earlier today that Pablo Sandoval would undergo shoulder surgery, which I suppose settles whether he had a real injury or was faking it. According to a report from ESPN, Sandoval’s surgery will take him out for the rest of the season. From the report:...

Chris Sale Will Clown You

White Sox ace Chris Sale has gotten off to a great start this season, having allowed just nine runs in his first 43.1 innings. His strikeout rate has been a bit lower than usual—just 7.9 per nine innings compared to last year’s absurd 11.8 per nine—but he’s still my favorite punch-out artist in the ...

ESPN Edited Curt Schilling Out Of An Airing Of The '04 Red Sox <i>30 For 30</i>, And People Are Mad

Four Days in October is an ESPN 30 for 30 series film that first aired in 2010. It aired again yesterday, in slightly edited format, and dopey Red Sox fans teamed up with dopey conservatives to form a coalition of derp in protesting what they believed to be a conspiracy against recently fired analys...

This Oral History Of The Doug Mirabelli Trade Is Delightful

Let’s go back to 2006, a simpler time when Trot Nixon and Matt Clement roamed the earth. That winter, the Red Sox had traded away Doug Mirabelli, not known for his offensive prowess so much as he was for being Tim Wakefield’s personal catcher. Not just everyone can successfully catch a knuckleball, ...

Hmmmmmm

Nice....

Matt Albers Is Fucking Hyped

White Sox setup man Matt Albers is on a hell of a hot streak, pitching a scoreless eighth in last night’s win over Toronto to set the franchise record for scoreless outings. Dating back to Aug. 4, 2015, Albers has appeared 30 times, thrown 33 innings, and allowed just 24 hits and seven walks while s...

White Sox Execute 9-3-2-6-2-5 Triple Play

Triple plays are generally credited to the defense, but as we’ve seen more often than not they’re created by piss-poor base running. So here’s an example of the Texas Rangers shitting up the basepaths as they manage to get themselves into a 9-3-2-6-2-5 triple play at the hands of the White Sox tonig...

Report: The Giants Banned Hotel Room Service For Pablo Sandoval So He Wouldn't Overeat

While Pablo Sandoval remains on the disabled list for a shoulder strain that may or may not be real, the Red Sox third baseman’s relationship with food is being scrutinized. Comcast Sports Net’s Sean McAdam was on Toucher and Rich today and reported that when Sandoval was with the San Francisco Gian...

Report: Red Sox Happy To Pretend Pablo Sandoval's Injury Isn't Fake

Officially, Pablo Sandoval is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left shoulder. Unofficially, and probably more accurately: Pablo Sandoval doesn’t want to sit on the Red Sox bench, and the Red Sox don’t want him around. These next four years are going to be great!...

A Very Rude Blue Jays Fan Found Pablo Sandoval A New Belt

Big-bellied Pablo Sandoval had a bit of a mishap with his belt during Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays. It happened during his second at-bat of the season, and it’s honestly starting to feel like some higher power is ordering Sandoval’s 2016 campaign to be a never-ending fat joke. For example:...

Oh No

Hawk Harrelson Submits Supremely Terrible Home Run Call

White Sox play-by-play man Hawk Harrelson, also known as Darkest Timeline Vin Scully, had a little trouble tracking this home run ball during last night’s game between the White Sox and A’s:...

Pablo Sandoval Loses Starting Job To Some Guy

This is not to denigrate newly crowned Red Sox opening day third baseman Travis Shaw, because Travis Shaw has had a killer spring, and no one’s really quite sure what to make of him. But teams usually need more than a hint of promise to bench a guy owed $72.4 million over the next four years. Not th...

Fans Are Trolling A Gag "LaRoche Family Recovery Fund"

I can’t get enough of this Drake LaRoche thing. It’s the best, dumbest, most baseball controversy I can imagine. Adam Eaton saying of a 14-year-old boy that “we lost a leader?” Love it. Unnamed White Sox players finally emerging to say actually, it kind of sucks to have a teen in our workplace every...
