Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
It’s not even March, but today’s game is an example of why I couldn’t fully buy in on this Red Sox roster. Starting pitching is great, but when the offense can’t support it, you’re always in danger of one swing changing the game. Connelly Early pitched well, although it wasn’t a dominant performance, but his […]
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]

Well folks, for the second weekend evening in a row, the Bruins are occupying your 5 PM time slot. Today, the B’s are in Columbus to face an increasingly desperate Blue Jackets team, as they look to make the playoffs for the first time since the COVID-affected 2020 season. Both teams also played on Saturday, […]
We’re back! Welcome to the Celtics’ Top-5 Highest IQ Plays of the Week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their chairs. […]
I cannot emphasize enough the degree to which I think lineup construction is overrated in the discourse relative to the difference it makes in practice. I almost don’t even want to post this. But even with that caveat, lineup construction doesn’t not matter, and I think we saw a mistake last night. So thanks to […]

Rhett Lowder returns to the mound for the Cincinnati Reds for the first time after his lost 2025 season, and does so with a series victory over the Boston Red Sox on the line. First pitch is slated for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony […]
It’s the rubber match of the opening series of the season. Connelly Early makes his first start of the season against Rhett Lowder, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2024. Both bullpens are spent after a long game yesterday, so getting to the bullpen early should favor the offense. Masataka Yoshida makes his first […]
The Cincinnati Reds got their first win of the 2026 on Saturday, and it came in dramatic fashion. Dane Myers laced a liner into LF in the Bottom of the 11th, and that was deep enough for TJ Friedl to race home from 2B ahead of the throw in from Boston Red Sox star Roman […]
The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots could meet for at least one joint training camp practice this summer. Nick Sirianni and Mike Vrabel have had “preliminary discussions about the possibility of having the teams practice together in the preseason — likely in Foxborough,” according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss. The Eagles and […]
11am CT on ESPN2. Two extra inning walk-off wins in a row, and we’ve clinched the series against The Franzia Funnelers. Friday’s was a 10 inning Johntone the Elder winner, but Saturday’s… Saturday damn near never ended. After both Nadeau and Mack dueled through 3 scoreless frames, the dam finally broke in the bottom of […]
Sometimes it feels like you know how 80% of a Celtics game is going to go. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are going to do half of the heavy lifting. Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will cover about another third. But it’s that other 15-20% that you’re going to get from your 5th, 6th, and […]
When the Celtics and Hornets face off on Sunday night, it will be a match-up between two of the Eastern Conference’s hottest teams. And, in many ways, the two franchises are interconnected — both due to their personell and emerging styles of play. Earlier this month, ESPN analyst Jay Williams drew the connection himself: “They’re […]
The Red Sox still don’t seem to have a long-term plan for what to do with the five outfielders they have for four outfield/DH spots, to say nothing of what happens when Triston Casas enters the DH picture. But they do have a short-term plan. Alex Cora announced that, starting today, Masataka Yoshida would play […]
The free agency transactions have largely settled down for the New England Patriots and the rest of the league this past week. The main focus instead has shifted back to the NFL Draft, which is officially less than one month away. The focus here on Pats Pulpit has been cleaning up free agent contracts and […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes
Good morning, baseball fans! Now that we’re getting back into the swing of the regular season, it’s time to find out what everyone’s favorite highlights of the week were! I am, once again, at a distinct disadvantage because as of the time this is being written there has only been one game played this week, […]
The late Bill Walton occupies a unique place in basketball history. He ranks with the greatest centers – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others – but injuries greatly limited his career. But when he was healthy, he was indisputably great. Boston Celtics teammate Robert Parish was speaking to former Celtic […]
Jaylen Brown had some things to say about the NBA’s regular season awards on Wednesday. In the wake of Cade Cunningham’s lung collapse, robbing him of consideration for All-NBA and MVP awards, Jaylen Brown reminded everyone that back when the 65-game minimum threshold was written into the current CBA—by the NBPA and the league—it was […]
Zigs and Zags The game had a ton of drama and resisted easy definitions. It wasn’t that the teams traded leads back and forth—the Sox never led, in fact—but every time I thought I had a handle on the direction of the game, a big moment occurred to completely erase that thought. For example, the […]

There was ample action in Great American Ball Park on Saturday, and the end result was a 6-5 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Boston Red Sox. Dane Myers swatted a single over the shortstop – a replacement shortstop, I should add – in the Bottom of the 11th inning for his first hit, […]
