- The Red Sox are one of the most powerful brands in American sport. They've been transformed into underdogs by an owner content with a midtier payroll and a chief baseball officer who is risk averse. John Henry and Chaim Bloom are making this team smaller. It's disappointing."I don't like that term at all. I really didn't like that message." Rob Bradford on Chaim Bloom calling the Red Sox 'underdogs' while sitting 2.5 games back in the wild card race. @bradfo | @jcmccaffrey | @DinardoLenny | @TomCaron | #RedSox
00:00 - Arte Moreno doesn't deserve Mike Trout. What an embarrassment. The Diamondbacks ($238M to $1.32B), Reds ($270M to $1.085B) and Tigers ($82M to $1.26B) have appreciated by a combined $3.075B since their last sales. But tell us again how #MLB ownership isn't profitable.Sources: Angels, Diamondbacks, Reds and Tigers owners opposed MLB luxury tax increase to $220 million. MLB also proposed including player meal money in calculation of luxury tax, which irked players. theathletic.com/3162810/2022/0…
- Kim English on atmosphere -- 'I went all in. We had a big-time recruit (2025 F Bryson Tiller) here. I told his family – and they’ve been to Indiana. They’ve been to Kansas. I told them, ‘It will be like nothing you’ve ever seen.’ 'And it was. After the game they agreed.' #pcbb
- Periodic reminder the Yankees are paying Adam Ottavino $850K to pitch for the #RedSox this season. Inconceivable with a Steinbrenner still the majority owner. The Boss is haunting some dreams at the moment.
- Rick Pitino on Kim English -- 'The guy who coached against me tonight is absolutely fabulous. Fabulous. His team plays like they haven't eaten in a week.' #pcbb
- Ownership and the front office quit on the #RedSox before the 2020 season. We all saw the results. They waited until 104 games into this 2021 season to do the same. It now feels eerily familiar. Alex Cora and his players were abandoned. Any good will Boston fostered is eroding.
- Elizabeth Beisel has made it to Block Island. Her mother, Joan, was waiting with a hug.
00:00 - Buffalo players are diving out of bounds for loose balls with a 19-point lead at home and 90 seconds left. That's championship-level effort and determination. Nate Oats should be a National Coach of the Year candidate.
- Bryant coach Jared Grasso was asked about this postgame: 'Am I supposed to give an honest reaction? Let me give an honest reaction -- we gave them five opportunities to cancel the game. They wanted to play it. We asked to move the date five times. We felt the same way.' (1/x)
- Providence student section: 'F*** Ed Cooley.' 'Where's your mistress?' We're barely two minutes in. It's visceral. #pcbb
