Home runs don’t travel 463 feet every game. Indeed, Rob Refsnyder’s three-run homer in the first inning of Tuesday’s 6-0 win over the Athletics was both the longest of his career and by a Red Sox player this year. But left-hander Connelly Early’s big-league debut was unlike anything seen in this organization in over 48 years, as he struck out 11 men to tie Don Aase’s franchise record for a debuting pitcher. It was also unlike anything ever seen before in Major League Baseball. Of the 23,599 players in MLB history, Early is only the 17th pitcher to fan at…

Connelly Early made his major league debut on Tuesday night. His first major league outing was earlier than expected, but due to a plethora of injuries, the Boston Red Sox required his services in Sacramento for a game against the Athletics. A relative unknown to many, the results for the prospect were spectacular. He threw five shutout innings, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out 11. The 11 strikeouts tied the Boston Red Sox record for most punchouts in a major league debut. Early used a five-pitch mix to navigate the Athletics’ lineup, four-seam, sinker, slider, curveball and…

Drake Maye landed in arguably the worst situation of any quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. The third overall pick already is on his second head coach and his second offensive coordinator while running a second offensive system in two seasons. If you reflect back to Maye’s tenure at North Carolina, he’s now had four offensive coordinators the last four years. The coaching turnover is one of the reasons why you can’t compare the Patriots second-year signal-caller to any others drafted in his class, including Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy. But it’s certainly not the only factor that benefits…

BOXFORD – Last season, the Peabody High girls volleyball team won four of its last five to sprint its way into the state tournament. This year, however, the Tanners have loftier aspirations. Led by outside hitter Lizzy Bettencourt, Peabody put forth a tenacious showing at Masconomet, winning 3-1 in a hard-fought battle. “This was a great team win,” said Bettencourt (22 kills), one of three senior captains who helped power her team to victory. “For us, it’s all about trust, especially with the seniors. We trust each other so much, and that makes a big difference with our passing, our…

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…
