Red Sox’s Rick Porcello Looks To Get Back To Cy Young Form Vs. Orioles
Share this: Boston Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello has not started the 2017 season the way he may have wanted to, but he feels as if he is getting closer to his Cy Young form from just a year ago. Porcello said on Sunday that his sinker/4-seam combination is feeling “solid” and the next step will be to cut down on the walks going forward. Porcello will be on the hill for the Red Sox on Monday night against the Baltimore Orioles. For more on Porcello check out the video above from “Red Sox Gameday Live,” presented by DCU.

Watch Dustin Pedroia Apologize To Manny Machado After ‘Mishandled’ Situation
Share this: Manny Machado probably had it coming after his dangerous takeout slide of Dustin Pedroia on Friday night. But even Pedroia doesn’t condone how his Boston Red Sox teammate dealt retribution. In the eighth inning of Sunday’s eventual 6-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles, Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes threw at Machado’s head, earning himself an immediate ejection. NESN’s cameras caught Pedroia and Machado exchanging words after the incident, with Pedroia appearing to tell Machado that Barnes’ actions weren’t in line with how he would have handled the situation. “It’s not me,” Pedroia appears to tell Machado. “If if I wanted to do something, I would have hit you the first time.” In short: Pedroia wasn’t OK with how Barnes chose to retaliate.
Jackie Bradley Jr. Believes Red Sox’s Offense ‘Will Get Going’ Soon
Share this: The Boston Red Sox’s offense was relatively quiet in their 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night at Camden Yards. The lone bright spot for the Red Sox was center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. launching his first home run of the season. Bradley became the fifth player in Red Sox history to hit a home run onto Eutaw Street in Baltimore. The center fielder believes that the offensive production will begin to pick up for the Red Sox. To hear what Bradley Jr. had to say about the offense, check out the video above from “Red Sox Final,” presented by Plainridge Park Casino.

Zach Britton Can’t Help But Laugh At Auction For ‘Game-Used’ Jersey From Wild Ca…
Share this: In case you haven’t heard, Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter didn’t put in star closer Zach Britton during their American League Wild Card game loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s been a running joke for social media throughout the Major League Baseball postseason now, but the Orioles accidentally added to it recently on their auction website. The O’s are auctioning off player jerseys from that game, and you’ll see why Britton’s is a little funny. And the best part is Britton got a kick out of it himself. Britton’s jersey was by far the hottest commodity, too, as the highest bid was over $2,000 as of Saturday afternoon. Thumbnail photo via Evan Habeeb/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
Watch Edwin Encarnacion Crush Game-Winning Home Run, Send Blue Jays To ALDS
Share this: Who’s ready for another Toronto Blue Jays-Texas Rangers playoff series? Designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion blasted a three-run, walk-off home run in the 11th inning Tuesday night to give the Blue Jays a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Wild Card Game. And blasted might be an understatement. The ending was controversial, as the Orioles never turned to closer and Cy Young candidate Zach Britton. Instead, manager Buck Showalter, who said after the game that Britton was available, put in Ubaldo Jimenez with one out in the 11th, and he proceeded to allow two straight singles before Encarnacion’s homer. The Blue Jays-Rangers AL Division Series will begin Thursday with Game 1 at 4:38 p.m. ET. Click to see fan throw beer can at Orioles
