Share this: With the recent undisclosed injuries to Kevan Miller and Adam McQuaid, even more opportunities are there for the Boston Bruins’ younger players to step up heading into the 2016-17 season. “We’ve said all along the opportunity will be there for younger players if they’re able to step forward, and you’re seeing throughout camp we’ve had a couple players who have emerged in that regard, whether that’s through injury or through their good play,” Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said at the team’s media day Tuesday. “And the coaching staff has been excited about their play, so we move forward with that and we feel they’ve added a lot of dimensions to our team.” Hear more in the video from “NESN Sports Today,” presented

Terry Francona’s Bold Bullpen Moves Pay Off Vs. Red Sox, But At What Cost?
Share this: Terry Francona wasn’t about to make the same mistake as Buck Showalter. The Cleveland Indians manager saw his starter, Trevor Bauer, labor through a few rocky innings Thursday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field. So, in the fifth inning, with Bauer at just 78 pitches and Cleveland holding a one-run lead, Francona decided to take drastic action, pulling Bauer after 4 2/3 innings in favor of star reliever Andrew Miller. Francona’s daring move worked. Miller stopped any momentum the Red Sox’s offense had gained after Sandy Leon’s fifth-inning home run, allowing just one Boston hit over the next two innings while striking out four.

Shane Vereen Injury: Giants Running Back Out For Season With Hurt Triceps
Share this: The New York Giants will have to compete in a tough division without one of their best backfield options. Giants running back Shane Vereen has a triceps injury that will require season-ending surgery, the team announced Monday.

I’m not going pretend his illogical answer was logical.” ORIGINAL STORY: FOXBORO, Mass. — A reporter went out of his way to get Bill Belichick’s goat Tuesday and accomplished
