FanPost Friday - Last Minute Playoff Roster Changes
A few weeks ago, there were a few calls for Brandon Phillips to be on the roster! Those faded pretty quickly! Is there a player who has impressed you down the stretch? J.D. Martinez and Mookie Betts are making the playoff roster. I’m pretty sure we all know this. I’m also pretty sure we all know that we’re going to be going into the playoffs as the official division winners, with the top seed in the playoffs, as we wait to see which wild card team gets the daunting task of having to steal a game (or two!) in Fenway Park. As we wait for that moment, however, we have a few small...

Red Sox 11, Yankees 6: It’s time to party
The division. It’s clinched. It’s done. It took a little longer than we would have liked, but it’s done. The Red Sox took care of business on Thursday night, with the offense breaking out of its slump and picking up a poor performance from Eduardo Rodriguez. The lefty was inefficient and struggled with control all night, and Heath Hembree gave up a devastating grand slam, but it didn’t matter. Brock Holt, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts had big home runs, J.D. Martinez had a couple of big hits and the Red Sox are currently pouring out more champagne than I’ll ever be able to...

Justus Sheffield says “adrenaline was pumping” in major league debut
Sheffield had an eventful first night in the big leagues. Justus Sheffield, the Yankees top prospect, made his major league debut last night. He came out of the bullpen in the ninth inning of a game between the Yankees and the Red Sox. Sure, the Bombers had a 10-1 lead, but that’s a pretty dramatic setting for a first appearance in the big leagues. The rookie left-hander found himself in an early jam, and that probably undersells the matter. He had the bases loaded with one out and the dangerous Mookie Betts at the plate. The two did battle, with Betts nearly hitting a grand slam to...
