Share this: Maybe the New England Patriots should look at bringing Sandy Leon on board while Tom Brady serves his four-game suspension. The Boston Red Sox catcher has been a revelation since returning from Pawtucket in early June, hitting .400 in 26 games, with two more hits Monday night against the Detroit Tigers. But Leon also showed off in another way Monday night. Mike Aviles popped up a Drew Pomeranz pitch behind home plate, and Leon went chasing after it toward the screen. After seeing he had a chance to make the catch, Leon tossed his mask back toward the batter’s box. In doing so, he threw a perfect strike, in stride, to home plate umpire Jim Reynolds, who showed off some good hands

Red Sox Notes: Joe Kelly Turns Heat Way Up In First Relief Appearance
Share this: BOSTON — A time traveler transported from the beginning of the season to Monday night’s game against the Detroit Tigers would have been quite confused by the Red Sox’s choice of pitchers. After getting six strong innings from Drew Pomeranz, acquired just 10 days ago from the San Diego Padres, manager John Farrell turned to Joe Kelly and Clay Buchholz, two pitchers who began the 2016 campaign in Boston’s starting rotation. For Kelly, Monday night marked his first relief appearance in a Red Sox uniform and first time coming out of the bullpen since 2013. The right-hander also hadn’t pitched at the major league level since Jun 1, which was evident when he entered in the seventh inning and began pumping serious
Red Sox Wrap: Drew Pomeranz’s Solid Start Not Enough In Loss To Tigers
Share this: BOSTON — Drew Pomeranz’s second appearance with the Red Sox was the polar opposite of his debut, in more ways than one. The All-Star left-hander delivered a strong performance Monday night at Fenway Park, but this time, his offense couldn’t hold up its end of the bargain, plating just two runs in a 4-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Boston now has lost three of its last four games. Here’s how this one went down. GAME IN A WORDSlip. The Red Sox struck first, but their tenuous 1-0 lead fell apart late, as Boston allowed four runs over the final four innings to let this one get away. IT WAS OVER WHEN…The Red Sox couldn’t come up clutch in the eighth inning. Boston loaded the bases with nobody

David Ortiz Wore 2013 Boston Marathon Medal During Red Sox-Twins Game
by Zack Cox on Mon, Jul 25, 2016 at 10:55AM 2,493 Share this: David Ortiz’s wardrobe for Sunday’s Boston Red Sox-Minnesota Twins game at Fenway Park included a unique accessory. Ortiz, who did not play in the game, was spotted in the dugout wearing a 2013 Boston Marathon medal. ‘‘A friend of mine that ran the marathon gave it to me,’’ the Red Sox designated hitter told reporters, via The Associated Press. ‘‘I wear my jewelry on different days. I just put it on.’’ Ortiz was a major figure in Boston in the days following the 2013 marathon bombing, delivering his immediately iconic “This is our (expletive) city” speech before the first Red Sox home following the attack.

Ken Griffey Jr. Thinks David Ortiz ‘Absolutely’ Is A Hall Of Famer
Share this: David Ortiz’s Hall of Fame chances have been a topic of debate long before the Boston Red Sox slugger announced the 2016 season would be his last, but Big Papi got an endorsement from one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday with former New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza, but in his news conference Saturday, Griffey took a moment to talk about Ortiz. The two were part of the Seattle Mariners, who drafted Ortiz, briefly, but it was enough time for Griffey to get a good look at the future Red Sox star. “I got a chance to see him young,” Griffey said, per ESPN.com. “He
