Only two games in MLB history have ended on a catcher’s interference call. The first was more than 50 years ago on Aug. 1, 1971, in a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds. The second was on Monday night, when the Boston Red Sox suffered a 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The walk-off catcher’s interference happened after Jordan Hicks loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the 10th inning. With the count at 1-2 on Edmundo Sosa, Hicks threw a slider off the plate that Sosa attempted to swing…
You never know when you’re about to see the thing you’ve never seen before. Ten minutes ago, I had no idea I’d be typing this, but here we are: The Red Sox lost on a walk-off catcher’s interference call with the bases loaded in the 10th inning. Tom Caron is apopleptic about them losing all 7 extra inning games on the road rn, but I’m stuck on the catcher’s interference thing if we’re being honest. Three Studs Walker Buehler When he has it he has it and when he doesn’t he doesn’t, and tonight he had it. I sold his…
It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish it. And in the case of the Red Sox Monday night, the evening began on the high note of Jarren Duran’s leadoff home run, and was all downhill from there. Boston had chances all night long, at least one baserunner in nine of 10 innings, but their clutch factor was M.I.A. and in the bottom of the 10th, it was the Phillies who triumphed, albeit in one of the most bizarre endings baseball has seen in a long time: A walk-off on bases-loaded catcher’s interference, determined on a replay review. Phillies…

Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is fast approaching, and the Boston Red Sox continue to be linked by MLB insiders to some of the biggest names rumored to be available on the market. While the Red Sox have emerged as a team that’s actively seeking to make upgrades in the starting rotation, the team has also been rumored to be looking for an upgrade at first base following Triston Casas’ season-ending knee injury. While Romy González and Abraham Toro have done a fine job in Casas’ absence, the Red Sox have already been connected to Baltimore Orioles All-Star Ryan O’Hearn…

By JOE REEDY, Associated Press Sports Writer ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Besides being a fan, John Oliver has had a certain affinity for minor league baseball.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is adding author to his list of accomplishments. The Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar has co-written a children’s book starring his beloved dog, Decoy. Ohtani posted a photo of Decoy, a Dutch Kooikerhondje, sitting next to the book on his Instagram account on Thursday. The cover of “Decoy Saves Opening Day” features a drawing of the pup with a ball in his mouth and Ohtani in his baseball jersey. It tells the story of how Decoy is supposed to throw the first pitch on opening day but realizes he left his lucky baseball at…
The Boston Celtics are interested in Ben Simmons. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reported the Simmons-Celtics link, noting that the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Sacramento Kings are also interested. Last season, Simmons played 51 games split between the Brooklyn Nets and LA Clippers, posting averages of 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists, with a 52 percent field goal percentage and nearly 73 percent from the free-throw line. At 29, Simmons needs a career revival. The former No. 1 overall pick of the Philadelphia 76ers once earned All-NBA honors and three All-Star nods, but that seems like…
