Marcelo Mayer showed the Fenway Park crowd what he’s capable of when he blasted two home runs for the Red Sox in Wednesday night’s 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The shortstop has been considered a top prospect by evaluators for several years now, so it should come as no surprise to Boston fans that he’s performing at a high level early on. Mayer is a player I’d describe as “a ballplayer”. All baseball players play ball, but not all baseball players are “ballplayers.” Rafael Devers is a fantastic player, but he’s not someone I look at and immediately…
Marcelo Mayer’s sweet left-handed swing was on display during Wednesday night’s Boston Red Sox-Tampa Bay Rays matchup at Fenway Park. Mayer, Boston’s No. 2 prospect, took Rays starter Zack Littell deep twice for the first two Fenway Park homers of his promising career. The first homer came in the second inning and was a 418-foot solo shot down the right field line: In the fourth inning, Mayer blasted his second homer 410 feet in the same location: Mayer, 22, became the youngest Red Sox player with a multi-homer game since Rafael Devers in 2018. With the “Big Three” of Mayer,…
The Roman Empire battles the Evil Empire at Fenway Park this weekend. The latest version of the Roman Empire dawned at Fenway Park in Boston on Monday. Roman Anthony — son of Anthony Anthony and brother of Anthony Anthony Jr. — botched his Red Sox debut by whiffing on a slow roller in the outfield that led to a run. All hail the “Roman Emp-Error.” Anthony quickly atoned for that gaffe by driving in the eventual winning run on Tuesday night in the first inning. “Vivat Romanus!” Latin is not my 2nd language. Six-plus years of Greek School were punishment enough.…
Sometimes when you try something new you discover something wonderful. That’s just what I found when I headed out to The Links at Mass Golf to attend my first-ever Women’s Golf Day, Mass Golf’s totally free day of lessons and golf to celebrate International Women’s Golf Day. I was excited to get some pointers, make some new golf friends and maybe hit some decent shots. I got all that, sure. But I also discovered that perfect spring day that The Links at Mass Golf (www.linksatmassgolf.org/) is a learner’s paradise. Let me amend that: The Links at Mass Golf is a…
The Boston Bruins kept their cards close to their chest when it came to their head coach search this offseason. Eventually, they locked in on one of their former players, Marco Sturm, to come in and take over behind the bench After making a run to the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Bruins failed to meet expectations this past season. The end result saw them miss out on the postseason for the first time in eight years. Sturm will be tasked with getting Boston back to the promised land, but in order to do so, his…
The Sox just had back-to-back series wins against AL East opponents! Thanks to Buehler having a quality start and going seven innings, Marcelo Mayer hitting a home run twice, Duran and Toro adding on, Narvaez remaining amazing, and the bullpen managing to hold it down, the Sox can finally claim a one-run win again. Against the Rays, which they won a different one-run game against back in April! The studs were especially stud-y tonight, so let’s go over them: FIVE(!!) Studs: Marcelo Mayer: Had his first career multi-homer major league game and his first (two) home run(s) at Fenway! He…
For a period of time early in his career Walker Buehler was among the most successful starting pitchers in the majors. The right-hander had an approach that worked, but after missing nearly two years due to Tommy John surgery, Buehler has often struggled to recapture his old form since returning to the mound last spring. Things came to a head last Friday after Buehler allowed five runs over just two innings at Yankee Stadium, and leading into Wednesday’s outing against the Tampa Bay Rays, the 30-year-old decided it was time to make some major changes. “We put in a lot…
