For the third time on this road trip, the Red Sox entered a game with a seemingly large pitching advantage and lost. They got shut down by Dustin May last Friday, watched Garrett Crochet get bombarded while matched up against Bailey Ober yesterday, and saw Sonny Gray get thoroughly outpitched by Mick Abel tonight. On […]
The Twins struck first in this game with a Luke Keaschall single scoring Byron Buxton from 2nd. There was a tag play at the plate and he was initially called out but replay overturned it, putting the Twins up 1-0. In the 3rd, Buxton would make it 2-0 with a solo shot to left. In […]
It was a fitting finish to a forgettable season. The Devils, “playing” for the fourth and final time since being eliminated from playoff contention a week ago, had nothing on the line but pride. The Boston Bruins were still jockeying for playoff position, hoping to maintain their slim hold on the Eastern Conference’s first wild […]
The Bruins ended the regular season with the all-important VIBES in a much better place, thanks to a 4-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. The B’s jumped out to a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the game and never looked back, with Mark Kastelic leading the way with two goals and Jeremy […]
Coming off a dominant outing for High-A Greenville last week, Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera has entered Baseball America’s top 100 list for the very first time. Valera was one of three new additions to Baseball America’s top 100 rankings on Monday, coming in at No. 100. The 19-year-old right-hander now joins fellow Red … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera cracks Baseball America’s top 100 rankings"

After last night’s abysmal start from Garrett Crochet in which he only went 1.2 innings, the Red Sox middle relief is taxed. As a result, they had to make the following roster move today, which lands Jack Anderson in a big league uniform for the first time: Ideally, Boston won’t need the middle relief tonight […]

It’s the regular season home finale, folks! Believe it or not, this is not the most significant Bruins-Devils game of the past couple of weeks. When searching for an image for a “Bruins Devils” image for this post, I got a bunch of results for the Duke Blue Devils vs. the UCLA Bruins in Elite […]

On paper, the New England Patriots appear to be in a good position along their interior defensive line. Milton Williams and Christian Barmore are one of the top duos in football, and both still under contract for multiple years. And yet, the team might decide to use draft capital to further bolster the group. Even […]
The WNBA is the hardest league in American sports to even get a proverbial cup of coffee in. It’s not hard to see why; with just 15 teams (and that’s only as of this year) and 180 total roster spots, most of which are already taken by the best players in the world, there isn’t […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. It would be a surprise if New England’s first selection came along the […]
Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is the true definition of an ace: dependable, dominant, and downright terrifying to step into the box against. So… what the hell is going on? Crochet has been unusually shaky to kickstart the season, allowing nearly as many runs (18) as strikeouts recorded (22) — with those aggressively poor […]
Alycia Baumgardner is set to return this Friday, April 17, 2026, to defend her three super featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in the main event of MVP’s second ESPN card, MVW-02. We’ll have live coverage and updates this Friday night, so make sure you come back to Bad Left Hook for that, and […]
Managers are hired to be fired. This is not news to anyone who has watched baseball for a significant period of time. It is exceedingly rare for a baseball manager to ever retire on his own terms. Heck, even some recent Hall of Fame-caliber managers who retired found themselves managing other teams in relatively short […]
The 2000 New York Yankees were not a team of destiny like in 1998, or the well-oiled machine that dropped but a single playoff game en route to a title in 1999. They were a squad that needed help. Jockeying for position with the Red Sox and Blue Jays in a crowded AL East, the […]
How many pitches into the game last night did you start worrying about Garrett Crochet’s health? Such is life as a baseball fan in the 21st century. But, for now at least, Crochet says there’s nothing to worry about. He and the Sox brass all confirmed he felt healthy last night, and Crochet downplayed the […]
Even though Drake Maye finished second in NFL MVP voting in 2025, the New England Patriots entered the offseason facing questions at the quarterback position. Obviously, there were no doubts about Maye’s status as the starter, but the backup spots behind him remained in a state of fluidity. The first domino to fall was restricted […]
Aroldis Chapman has been nearly perfect over his Red Sox tenure. He’s converted 35 of 37 save opportunities, registering a 1.22 ERA in that span. But Father Time is undefeated, Chapman has been prone to meltdowns, and I’m generally distrustful, so I’m waiting for the wheels to fall off. Last week, against the Brewers, Chapman […]

On a sunny August afternoon, I sat down with Payton Pritchard to discuss the reality that the upcoming Celtics season was being widely deemed a Gap Year. He laughed. “There’s only one mindset, always,” he told me then. “I’ve never been on any team in my life where the mindset wasn’t to try to compete […]
With the Red Sox having some momentum after winning two straight and four of their last five games, they gave the ball to Garrett Crochet last night. He was facing a Minnesota Twins lineup that recently beat up on Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, and turned in the worst performance of his career: an 11-run, […]
