... into left field, a ball that missed being a home run by just a few inches. With Bell on second base and the tying run at the plate, Kimbrel gassed Harrison for strike three by hitting 98 mph on the inside edge of the plate. Next, Kimbrel went 98 on the outside edge to Mercer to get him to fan on strike three. With two outs, Frazier stepped to the plate. He took strike one, 99 mph over the middle of the plate. Frazier swung and missed at a 98 mph heater off the plate to fall behind 0-2. Kimbrel then went 99 up and away, and Frazier was able to foul it off.

Marte foul-tipped a 98 mph fastball to begin the at-bat. After ball one, Marte sent a foul ball behind first base. Moreland tracked it down, camped out under it, and made the catch for the final out of the game. The Red Sox are 1-0. End 8 th, 5-3 Red Sox: A Bogaerts line-drive single off the Monster and a ...

Why I’m Picking The Red Sox To Win It All

... tendon. Of course it is for completely selfish reasons that I, unlike virtually every other Red Sox fan I know, have picked them to win the World Series, just like last year. There is no downside to picking the Sox and being wrong and there is all the upside in the world to being right. It’s also a branding exercise: I want to be the guy telling you we’ve always got a chance, because I was the panicked one for a long time, and I have learned, at long last, that it is no way to live. My moment of humility came in 1999, in the American League Division Series in which the Sox fell down 2 games to 0 to the Indians, and I exchanged some depressing emails with my high school friends (we had moved on to college). One of my them was not swayed by any panic and, in fact, was clearly annoyed by it - the general panic, not mine, specifically, though I certainly didn’t help. After the Sox ...

Here’s Why You Still Can’t Stream Red Sox Games Online In New England

... streaming options for the Red Sox’s opening game Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Red Sox fans outside NESN’s broadcast territory can watch their team’s games online on MLB. TV, a paid subscribers-only streaming platform. Meanwhile, due to MLB blackout rules, baseball fans in New England will have to watch Sox games the old fashioned way — on TV. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in February that the league had reached a deal with NESN to provide in-market streaming for the Red Sox. Manfred also said at the time they were closing in on a deal with Root Sports — which owns broadcasting rights for the Astros, Mariners, Pirates and Rockies — for in-market streaming. According to the sports media website Awful Announcing , those deals would leave just three MLB teams (the Dodgers, ...

Yankees-red Sox Exhibit At Mattatuck

... seats pulled out of the old Yankee Stadium, a piece of the Green Monster and autographs of every one of the 1927 Yankees. The most unusual artifact is the Yankee Stadium home plate used on Oct. 8, 1956, Game 5 of the World Series, in which Don Larsen pitched a perfect game. It is signed by Larsen and Yankees catcher Yogi Berra. A pennant honoring the retirement of Carl Yastrzemski is seen in a framed collection of Yaz memorabilia. Roger Maris' "61 in '61" accomplishment is remembered in a collection of autographs by more than 40 of the pitchers who gave up those home runs. The history of Waterbury in baseball is honored, with a mention of Red Sox center fielder Jimmy Piersall, the most famous Waterbury native to make the major leagues. The exhibit's show-stopper is a painted and drawn artwork by Adam Port, "Lou Gehrig: The Luckiest Man in the World," which is so realistic that from a distance it looks like a photograph. The show will be up until after the World Series. If the Yanks or the Sox make it, fans can come to the Mattatuck and cheer them on. If they don't, they can come to console themselves that spring will soon be here again. YANKEES OR RED SOX: AMERICA'S ...

For Red Sox And Fans, Lofty Expectations A Rite Of Spring

... best team ever prior to 2011. They collapsed that September and finished last the following year. They were coming off a World Series win and boasted an enviable young core with more prospects on the way prior to 2014. They finished last each of the next two seasons. Which is what makes the most relevant line we can cull from ownership one of Henry's from last winter. "If there's one thing we've learned in the last few years, especially in the American League, it's getting more and more difficult to predict anything," he said. Indeed, the 2012 Yankees are the only team to repeat as A. L. East champions in the last decade. The percentage of teams that return to the postseason in consecutive years has diminished in baseball, from 59 percent in the first 11 years of the wild-card era to 44 percent in the last 11. At least half of the previous year's playoff teams have failed to make it back to October the next season in each of the last 11 years. Keep that ...

Opening Red Sox Game Marks 50-year Tradition For Northampton Trio

... where the three sat until recent years. For the 20 th anniversary of their opening day tradition, Noonan, O’Brien and Niemczyk rode to Fenway in a limousine with Milton Cole, sports writer at the Daily Hampshire Gazette. This year, for the 50 th anniversary, they plan to take a limo with Pat Goggins of Goggins Real Estate. The most exciting opening game was in 1998, Noonan said. The Red Sox were way behind. Going into the ninth inning, the score was 7-2. At the bottom of the ninth inning, Mo Vaughn hit a grand slam, winning the game. ‘Background music’. Even more than the games themselves, O’Brien remembers the good times the trio has shared. While they were waiting for the bus, the three would often venture into a souvenir shop by Fenway, where they became friends with the owners, the D’Angelo family. That family went on to found the famous sports apparel brand ’47. “I remember stuff like that more than I remember the games,” O’Brien said as he told stories of past home openers. “The games are like background music.”. Noonan, a huge Red Sox fan, never misses a game. Whether from the stands at Fenway or from the ...
