Ex-Red Sox Shows Support For Rafael Devers After Blunt Remarks

5 days ago | nesn.com | Adam London

Rafael Devers let it fly Thursday, both in the ballpark and in the clubhouse. Devers provided the Red Sox’s most impactful bat in Boston’s series finale against the Texas Rangers. The three-time All-Star laced an RBI single and blasted a solo home run en route to his team’s 5-0 victory at Fenway Park. But before Alex Cora’s club set out for Kansas City, Devers made even more noise with his words.
Celtics Fans Will Hate Kendrick Perkins Take On Knicks Series

Even though the Knicks lead the Celtics 2-0 in the teams’ Eastern Conference semifinals series, Charles Barkley believes Game 3 is a must-win for New York. The Hall of Famer views Boston as a far superior team that only needs one victory to take off. Kendrick Perkins, however, couldn’t have a more different view of the best-of-seven set. Perkins was openly critical of the Celtics after each of the series’ first two contests, and deservedly so.
Alex Cora Addresses Red Sox's First Base Plan After Rafael Devers' Remarks

The Red Sox still are figuring things out at first base, but we now know one perceived option is off the table. Following Boston’s shutout win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday, Rafael Devers made it very clear that he wasn’t interested in becoming Triston Casas’ replacement. Devers has already made one position change this season, and although a shift to first arguably would make the Red Sox a better team, the three-time All-Star is committed to sticking as the designated hitter.
Charles Barkley Knows He 'Sounds Stupid' With This Celtics-Knicks Take

Charles Barkley believes Saturday afternoon’s game at Madison Square Garden is a must-win, but not for the team you might think. After the Knicks stunned the Celtics again Wednesday and took a 2-0 lead in the teams’ best-of-seven series, Barkley couldn’t help but look back on his playing days. On two occasions in his Hall of Fame career, Barkley-led teams took 2-0 series leads in the playoffs before ultimately losing the set.
What Red Sox's Rafael Devers Made Clear After Blunt Remarks

Rafael Devers found himself in familiar territory Thursday afternoon. Much to his chagrin, Devers in spring training had to talk about the Red Sox moving him from third base to designated hitter in wake of Alex Bregman’s arrival. Triston Casas’ season-ending knee injury produced a similar situation, as an irked Devers made it clear he wasn’t interested in relocating to first base.
Craig Breslow Rejects Theory About Red Sox's Rafael Devers

Rafael Devers was at the center of a Red Sox position controversy before the 2024 season even began. And now, to no fault of his own, the three-time All-Star is involved in another one. Boston has a major question mark at first base in wake of Triston Casas’ season-ending knee injury. Fans and media members alike immediately identified Devers as a potential placement candidate, but the actual decision-makers on Jersey Street aren’t very keen on the idea.
Red Sox Vs. Rangers Lineups: Boston Makes Two Changes After Win

6 days ago | nesn.com | Adam London

The Red Sox and the Rangers will compete for a series win Thursday afternoon at Fenway Park. Boston will give the ball to Brayan Bello, who logged quality starts in two of his first three outings on the season. Bello is coming off a great performance in which he limited the Minnesota Twins to one run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings, which marked his longest outing since late August of last year. Carlos Narváez will do the catching for Bello after watching Wednesday night’s win from the bench.
Alex Cora Explains Crucial Decision In Red Sox's Win Over Rangers

6 days ago | nesn.com | Adam London

Alex Cora’s faith in a Red Sox starter paid major dividends for Boston on Wednesday night. When the Red Sox trailed the Rangers 3-2 with two outs in the bottom of the sixth at Fenway Park, it wouldn’t have been reckless for Cora to pinch-hit for Wilyer Abreu. Left-hander Hoby Milner was on the mound for Texas, and Boston had multiple right-handed bats available on the bench. But Cora stuck with Abreu, who walloped a 422-foot solo home run in his first at-bat of the game.
Jaylen Brown Strongly Describes Celtics' Back-To-Back Losses To Knicks

Jaylen Brown didn’t mince words after the Celtics dug themselves into an even deeper hole Wednesday night. The reigning NBA champions embarrassed themselves at TD Garden on Monday night, but there seemingly was no panic in Boston after the Game 1 loss. There was no way the Celtics would shoot so poorly from 3-point range again and suffer another loss at home, right? Wrong.
Celtics Champion Destroys Boston After Horrendous Game 2 Loss

6 days ago | nesn.com | Adam London

The Celtics followed a familiar script Wednesday night, and now, their backs are against the wall. Boston, much like in Monday night’s Game 1, blew a 20-point second-half lead against New York and ultimately lost at TD Garden. The C’s once again shot 25% from beyond the arc, but Wednesday’s performance was even worse. Jayson Tatum scored a season-low 13 points, Jaylen Brown committed six turnovers and Joe Mazzulla made a series of questionable decisions in crunch time.
