One of the best things about baseball is that something you’ve never seen before can happen at any moment. The Boston Red Sox provided one of those moments on Wednesday night. With the Red Sox leading 7-1 in the ninth inning, Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a line drive into right field, directly to Wilyer Abreu. Abreu gathered the ball and came up firing, skipping it to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for the putout, ending the game. Kirk was perhaps one of the few hitters Abreu could have caught at first base. His 24.2 feet per second sprint…

The New England Patriots are 1-2. Realistically, if not for a comedy of ball-handling errors on Sunday, they should be 2-1. Nevertheless, with the 1-2 Panthers visiting Foxboro on Sunday as 5.5-point underdogs, the Patriots should (there’s that word again) manage to head into October with a 2-2 record, thus buoying preseason hopes and expectations for a seven-plus-win season for Mike Vrabel and Co. Yet with the primary story throughout the winter, spring and summer focusing on the Patriots’ lack of high-end talent across the board, it’s a worthwhile time to take a moment and evaluate if any areas of…
From “Action Green” to … no green at all. The Celtics’ 2025-26 City Edition uniforms, unveiled Wednesday, are both a more subdued look that last season’s highlighter-esque offering and a new direction for the storied franchise. Featuring gold numbers and letters with black trim on a white jersey, it’s the first uniform in Celtics history that is completely devoid of the color green. The collar also is gold, as is Red Auerbach’s signature above the jersey tag. “This year’s City Edition jerseys are a nod to our timeless tradition of winning,” the team said in its announcement. “… A white…
Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was limited for a fourth straight practice Wednesday due to his hamstring injury. Gonzalez and defensive lineman Christian Barmore were the two players listed as limited after Patriots practice. Gonzalez indicated before practice he expects to play Sunday against Carolina. Patriots outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson and rookie left guard Jared Wilson were the team’s only non-participants Wednesday. In Carolina, the Panthers were down several key players at their practice, including rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan. Both teams’ complete injury reports are below. PATRIOTS Did not participate OL Jared Wilson (ankle/knee) OLB K’Lavon Chaisson (knee) Limited participation CB…
Statistically, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has taken a major step forward since last season. Through three games, Maye is fifth in the NFL in passing yards (785) and tied for seventh in touchdowns (5). Digging deeper, the game appears to have slowed down for Maye, too. In 2024, his passer rating against the blitz was 70. Through three weeks in 2025, it’s up to 119.4. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3, he frequently got the ball out quickly, knowing who to target before the snap. Despite the strong individual statistics, the Patriots are 1-2. While the improvement…
The robots are officially here. Major League Baseball announced yesterday that the automated ball-strike challenge system will be implemented in the 2026 season, complete with a corporate partnership with T-Mobile. (Yes, that’s where we are in late capitalism: rules now have corporate sponsors.) If you’ve been to any AAA games over the past few years, or paid attention during spring training, then you already know how this works. Every team starts each game with two challenges, which are retained when a challenge is successful. Only the pitcher, batter, or catcher can challenge a call. Should be good news for Roman…
WAREHAM – Carver stayed unbeaten on Tuesday night when it faced a tough Wareham volleyball team at the Jim Brogioli Court. The Crusaders (7-0) took it in four sets (20-25, 25-13, 25-21, 25-12), winning the last three after the Vikings took the opening set. It was neck and neck throughout the first set until Wareham (7-2) went on a 5-1 run, giving the Vikings a 19-14 lead. After a timeout, the Crusaders went on a five-point streak, tying the game at 19, but Wareham was able to keep up on a steady pace as they took the first set on…
There’s no mystery why the Patriots lost Week 3 to the Steelers. Had the Patriots not lost five turnovers on Sunday, they easily would have beat the Steelers to start the season 2-1. Now, some Patriots fans are looking for consequences after running back Rhamondre Stevenson lost two fumbles and wide receiver DeMario Douglas ran backwards on a vital fourth-and-1 reception late in the fourth quarter. We’ll discuss how the Patriots should handle Stevenson and Douglas and answer other questions in this week’s mailbag. @patsguydude: I think cutting Rhamondre would be an absolutely insane move right now. benching him im…
The Boston Red Sox made an under-the-radar move in the middle of August, signing Nathaniel Lowe after the Washington Nationals released him. Lowe is an impactful veteran who has playoff experience, so Boston jumped at the chance to bring him in. Since signing with the Red Sox, Lowe has made an impact offensively, and manager Alex Cora is impressed with him. In Boston’s 4-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, Lowe went 2-for-2 with two RBIs and two walks. “He’s been grinding, that’s part of it,” Cora said, via MLB.com. “The other day, it didn’t go his way,…
