The Boston Bruins are seemingly in agreement as to what they’d like their identity to be… Bruins general manager Don Sweeney calling one of his free agent additions a “pain in the (expletive)” should have tipped you off, but if it hadn’t, just listen to the words of one of his other additions. “The group on this team is still so talented, so good, and bringing in some guys yesterday, we’re going to be a really hard team to play against,” Tanner Jeannot said on Wednesday, as transcribed by MassLive’s Chris Mason. “That’s the type of team that, if you…

Well, how gross did that become, huh? The game got away from the Sox fast. It WAS good vibes at first! We were up 3-0! Wilyer was staying on fire! The bullpen was doing great! And then defensive errors on top of a regressing Greg Weissert (Get it? ReGregssion?) and a not-good-(tonight) Jordan Hicks (Get it??? Hicksups???) doomed the game completely. At least we did get the series win, but man, when the Red Sox this season aren’t good, they are bad. Three Studs: Wilyer Abreu: No doubt the series MVP, he smoked a ball to right field, his preferred…
In a National Hockey League that is more and more focused on high-end skill, the Bruins are short on it. No, they’re not totally bereft of skill, not when they have a player like David Pastrnak on their top line. But there are holes in the lineup once you get past that top line. And with only so much money on hand and only so many skilled players available on the free agent market, it’s clear that focus was on adding more baseline, old–school competitiveness in mind. Just how many games the Bruins win next season remains to be seen.…
The Red Sox had a plan all mapped out, but there wasn’t much room for error. Brayan Bello would pitch most, if not all, of the suspended game on Wednesday afternoon, with Aroldis Chapman available to close things out if necessary. Then, with the bullpen fully rested and an off-day coming Thursday, the rest of the staff would piece together the nightcap. Everyone had a job to do, but if anyone dropped the baton things could get ugly in a hurry. Boston nearly made it to the finish, but the bullpen couldn’t get the series sweep over the line. After…
The Red Sox knew something needed to change after they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Boston looked exactly how you’d expect after shipping off its best hitter, finishing just 3-6 on a cross-country trip that included some putrid offensive showings against the Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Angels. How could they improve that? Red Sox manager Alex Cora, along with the rest of his staff, instituted a change to pregame hitters meetings that saw their group sessions dwindle down into a more individualized approach. “Communication-wise, we changed a few things meeting-wise,” Cora said on…

The Red Sox will utilize an opener for the first time this season in tonight’s series finale against the Cincinnati Reds. Left-hander Brennan Bernardino will take the mound to start the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

Right-hander Cooper Criswell has also been added to the roster as the 27th man and will be available as a bulk reliever. Cincinnati will start right-hander Nick…

The Boston Bruins announced nine signings and one trade on Day 1 of NHL free agency. They were among the league’s busiest teams. But did any of these moves make the team significantly better? Probably not. Instead of chasing high-end talent with goal-scoring ability — the Bruins were one of the league’s worst offensive teams last season — general manager Don Sweeney added a bunch of bottom-six forwards with limited scoring potential. The Viktor Arvidsson trade with the Oilers made sense, especially when the cost was only a 2027 fifth-round draft pick. Many of the other pickups were puzzling, though.…
