The Yankees lost in walk-off fashion to San Diego on Friday night, but they might not have played extras had it not been for a misplay that allowed the Padres to score their only run of the initial nine innings. With two outs in the second, Xander Bogaerts got under a pitch from Max Fried […]
It’s been a tough week in Birdland. After beginning the week with two heartbreaking losses in Denver, the Orioles have been thoroughly outplayed in three straight losses to the Red Sox. Pitching hasn’t been the problem for the O’s. During their current five game losing streak, Baltimore has three quality starts and none of their […]
BALTIMORE—Outfielder Luis Robert Jr., who’s played three games with the Orioles since he was claimed off waivers from the New York Mets on Monday, was placed on the 10-day injured list with left hamstring discomfort.

Boston Red Sox radio announcer Will Flemming recently found himself in hot water following some over-the-top commentary about Jazz Chisholm Jr. In the wake of that, Boston Globe sports columnist Chad Finn made an ask of Flemming: Stop trying to sound like you’re doing a podcast. In a column published Saturday titled “Will Flemming should…
The Boston Red Sox have been trying to catch the New York Yankees in the AL East standings with just a few weeks remaining in the regular season, but it won’t be easy.

White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas and shortstop Colson Montgomery each reached the 30-home run mark in a 4-1 win over the Twins on Friday. First baseman Munetaka Murakami joined them Saturday with a two-run shot off Twins right-hander Taj Bradley in the first inning. The homer broke a 16-game drought for Murakami. The rookie became […]
Garrett Crochet and Tanner Houck are both making meaningful progress in their respective rehabs, raising the possibility that two pitchers Boston once envisioned near the top of its rotation could instead become late-season weapons out of the bullpen.
Sonny Gray's dominance with the Boston Red Sox has made St. Louis Cardinals' fans envious.
Hello, friends. Even the optimists in Birdland have to be pretty much ready to put the hopes to bed for the season at this point. Last night’s loss to the Red Sox comes darn close to settling it for the Orioles. They needed to come out and have a strong September in order to keep […]
BALTIMORE—Chris Bassitt had just walked Jarren Duran to load the bases with two outs in the sixth inning of a scoreless game. Manager Craig Albernaz walked out to the mound, and everyone expected he’d remove his starting pitcher. With the infield gathered on the mound, Albernaz liked what he heard from Bassitt, and he was […]
Welcome to the nightmare on Russell Street. The Orioles came back from a semi-successful road trip this past week with a chance to make a statement in a critical four-game series against the division rival Boston Red Sox. Instead, they will enter Sunday’s series finale at Oriole Park with their playoff hopes in critical condition. […]
There’s no way to guarantee Sonny Gray will pitch well when he takes the mound for the Red Sox in a postseason game at the end of the month. However, giving him extra rest going into the September stretch run and seeing him respond by pitching fantastic against a good lineup on the road fighting […]
The Red Sox didn’t have anything close to their regular lineup on the field Saturday night. It didn’t stop them from finding enough offense to make Sonny Gray’s best start in weeks stand up.
For the second consecutive night, the Orioles offense was an absolute no-show, getting blanked yet again in a 5-0 defeat at the hands of visiting Red Sox on Saturday night at Camden Yards. The sixth inning of this game felt like a a death knell for the 2026 Orioles. At the time, the game was […]
This is the type of game where, if you look at it on the surface, the Orioles don’t stand a chance. Suddenly, they are on a four-game skid that could turn into a downward death spiral as the schedule gets tougher. Their opponent has been one of the best team’s in the league since the […]
BALTIMORE—Outfielder Tyler O’Neill, who’s on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, is eligible to return, but he’s not close to playing. Manager Craig Albernaz didn’t sound optimistic that O’Neill would return before the season ends on September 27th. “It’s tough what he’s dealing with right now,” Albernaz said. “We’re trying to assess him […]
The Red Sox enter tonight’s game against the Orioles with a 77-65 record, 12 games above .500. Sonny Gray, who hasn’t pitched in ten days, also enters tonight 12 games above .500 with a personal record of 16-4. It’s probably a bit strong to say the Red Sox would be a .500 team without Gray, […]
Last Sunday, there was quite a hubbub surrounding a catch/no catch call in the Yankees-Red Sox game. Ceddanne Rafaela came very close to making a catch on a Jazz Chisholm Jr. fly ball that then would’ve led to a double play. However, the call on the field was that he trapped it, and that ruling […]
Worcester, Game 1: W, 6-4 (F/10) (BOX SCORE) (Continued in 9th inning from yesterday) Fans in Buffalo (Blue Jays AAA) were treated to some extra baseball on Friday as beneficiaries of the game being called off in a gridlocked tie in the ninth. Vinny Capra’s home run in the top of the tenth made it […]
Amidst the chaos of the final two innings Friday night, which included a man trying to fire up his own (sparse) crowd after their team hit into an inning-ending double play, and bullpens politely filing out of the same door to join a mini-fracas, something else quietly happened. Aroldis Chapman picked up his 399th career […]
