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,…

TORONTO — The Athletics were a major thorn in the Red Sox’s side last week, taking two of three at Fenway Park to put Boston in an extremely uncomfortable position leading into the final week of the regular season. But late Tuesday night, the A’s made it up to the Red Sox in a big way. The Athletics beat the Houston Astros 5-1 in their series opener, dropping the Astros two games behind the Red Sox with five games to play. Because the Red Sox also hold the tiebreaker, the Astros would actually have to make up three games to…

The Worcester Red Sox wrapped up their 2025 season on Sunday with a 9-8 win over the Rochester Red Wings. They also celebrated by giving out some hardware. Not surprisingly, Jhostynxon Garcia received team MVP honors. The 22-year-old outfielder dominated in 81 games with Worcester after being promoted from Portland, batting .271/.334/.498 with 18 home runs, 12 doubles, 60 runs, 58 RBI and three stolen bases. Garcia — the organization’s No. 3 prospect according to MLB Pipeline — even earned a cup of coffee with the Red Sox, appearing in five games for Boston in late August. He received just…
The Red Sox are another step closer. Boston opened its three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 4-1 victory at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night. The Red Sox currently hold a one-game lead for the second American League Wild Card spot, and are another win closer to their postseason goal. Alex Cora and company received help elsewhere, too. The Cleveland Guardians earned a 5-2 victory against the Detroit Tigers in their series opener at Progressive Field. Cleveland now sits atop the American League Central after having won 11 of its last 12 games. Detroit, meanwhile, is a half…
WATERTOWN – Head coach Jen Crook felt losing by seven goals on Saturday to four-time reigning Div. 4 state champion Uxbridge was a tough pill to swallow for the No. 6 Somerset Berkley field hockey team. Three days later, it responded by handing four-time reigning Div. 3 state champion Watertown its first loss since 2019. With Julie Pacheco’s go-ahead goal less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Somerset Berkley showed composure to shake off Watertown’s game-tying, two-goal rally, and snap its 103-game win streak with a 4-3 victory. Addie Finlaw scored twice, while Jen Crook’s son, Ryan Crook, had…
