The Boston Red Sox won’t be using kid gloves with Connelly Early. Early was promoted from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, and will immediately be placed in the rotation to make his MLB debut during the middle game of a series with the Athletics — where he’s already being asked quite a bit. Red Sox manager Alex Cora placed high expectations on the rookie during in his appearance on “WEEI Afternoons” on Tuesday. “Good pitcher,” Cora said. “I’ve been watching his outings the last few days — the changeup is real, fastball command is good. He has a big arsenal, and…

Who is he and where did he come from?He’s Connolly Early, and he hails from the old coal-mining town of Midlothian, Virginia, west of Richmond. Despite Midlothian having a population under 20,000, it’s punched above its weight culturally, being the hometown of 90s alt rocker Aimee Mann and serving as the inspiration for the setting of Donnie Darko. Midlothian, quite evidently, must be emo as shit.Early initially played college ball at West Point, one of the most selective colleges in the entire country — you need a dang recommendation from your Congressional representative to get in there! But he must…
PLYMOUTH — Whether the Bruins can survive in the ultra-competitive Atlantic Division this season is a wide open question, though one most observers would answer in the negative. But a legitimate reason for optimism is the real possibility that they should get a much better contribution from the pair of Lindholms in their employ than they did last year. The Lindholms – the no-relation Elias and Hampus – are both healthy. That could not be said for Elias at the start of the season, nor for Hampus, who suffered a season-ending broken kneecap on Nov. 12 of last year. Both…
The Patriots are waiving cornerback D.J. James, a source confirmed to the Herald. James, 24, was a great story of training camp, ascending from last year’s practice squad and the bottom of the roster onto the team thanks to a strong training camp. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Auburn by the Seahawks then spent most of last season on the Patriots’ practice squad. There’s no guarantee that James will pass through waivers after his strong summer. If he does, there should be interest from the Patriots in bringing him back onto…
The New England Patriots lost to the Las Vegas Raiders 20-13 on Sunday. New England’s defense had a difficult afternoon, allowing Raiders quarterback Geno Smith to pass for 362 yards and one touchdown. Although Smith achieved a nearly 400-yard passing performance, New England’s defense consistently pressured him during most of his attempts. Per TruMedia, the Patriots blitzed Smith on 40% of his dropbacks. Smith threw 40 times, and the Patriots sent a blitz on 16 of those plays. Smith completed 24 passes on 34 attempts while being sacked four times and rushing twice. If the Patriots didn’t reach Smith in…

MANSFIELD — Reigning three-time Division 2 state champion Oliver Ames is looking to find where it will get offensive production two games into this season. After getting shut out in their season opener, the Tigers got just enough offense Monday night with a 1-0 win in a rematch of last year’s state semifinal against Hockomock League rival Mansfield. Oliver Ames’ stellar defensive performance made Victor Nascimento’s goal the difference as the Tigers notched their second consecutive shutout to start the season by blanking the Hornets. “It was a really good game for us early on in the season to have…

The New England Patriots didn’t get the outcome they were looking for in Week 1, losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 20-13. Rookie kicker Andres Borregales missed a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter, which loomed large later in the game. Although the Patriots lost by seven points, making the kick in the second quarter would have given New England a six-point lead going into halftime instead of the three-point lead they took into the break. Missed field goals have become a significant concern for New England in recent seasons. 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Tony Massarotti highlighted the issue…
There’s blame to go around following the game-altering mistake from the Patriots’ 20-13 loss to the Raiders. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye should have made a better decision given it was second down at midfield. New England’s offensive line, specifically the veteran-led side of right tackle Morgan Moses and right guard Mike Onwenu, should have communicated it better. Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Maye didn’t seem to be on the same page, either. “It felt like the play that changed everything for the Patriots’ offense,” Patriots insider Phil Perry said on The Breakdown on Monday night. “It was an interception…
