Red Sox 4, White Sox 3: This is Casas’ house

5 days ago | overthemonster.com | Avery Hamel

Eric Canha-Imagn Images Boston won its fourth game in a row on Saturday night with an extra-innings victory that shouldn’t have gone to extra innings. After looking rather dominant through six innings, mostly thanks to another great start from ace Garrett Crochet, the Sox bounced back from allowing a three-run home run in the top of the seventh with Triston Casas’ first walkoff of his career in the bottom of the tenth.

Eric Canha-Imagn Images After an exciting Friday night win propelled by Trevor Story, the Red Sox have a chance to keep the momentum rolling with their ace on the mound. Garrett Crochet will become a third different color of Sox in his career as he dons the City Connect yellows for a Saturday spectacle at Fenway. Crochet will face Chase Meidroth in the leadoff spot.

Among Kansas’ 15 total victories between Friday and Saturday’s action at the Kansas Relays were two notable first-place finishes from athletes who clinched personal records in the women’s pole vault and men’s long jump. Decathlete Tayton Klein locked in on the long jump this weekend with a 7.40-meter jump in the second round to win the event. He cleared teammate Dillon Peters by 0.11 meters for the win.
Kansas faces Kansas State this weekend with Big 12 positioning on the line

1 week ago | www2.ljworld.com | Avery Hamel

With the Kansas baseball team sitting one game back of Kansas State in the Big 12 standings, this weekend’s Sunflower Showdown is the biggest rivalry meeting in years for a Jayhawk team with its best record in a decade. After being swept by TCU in Fort Worth last weekend, the Jayhawks dropped out of both Baseball America and D1Baseball’s top-25 rankings, but bounced back with an 18-12 midweek win over Wichita State to kick off the in-state rivalry week.
You all wish Nick Pivetta were on the Red Sox right now.

Chadd Cady-Imagn Images We’re two weeks into the season and Nick Pivetta is already boosting my credibility. While I don’t know how long this may last, I’m comfortable saying that I’d rather have Pivetta than probably ⅗ of the current Red Sox rotation. As we all withered away watching another Sean Newcomb roller coaster, Pivetta gave his second start of the season in which he threw at least seven innings and allowed no runs against Colorado. Are the Rockies bad? Yes.
No. 22 Kansas has 9-game winning streak snapped in 7-5 midweek loss to Nebraska

2 weeks ago | www2.ljworld.com | Avery Hamel

Kansas baseball had its season-best nine-game winning streak snapped by Nebraska in Tuesday’s midweek matchup at Hoglund Ballpark, falling 7-5 after a failed late-inning comeback. With the game tied heading into the top of the eighth, Nebraska took a two-run lead off a trio of singles before adding on its final run in the ninth after two more singles and a sacrifice bunt.
Hunter Dobbins had the (second) most important start of the season for the Red Sox

2 weeks ago | overthemonster.com | Avery Hamel

Eric Canha-Imagn Images Hunter Dobbins… I was not familiar with your game. Well, I was familiar with your minor league game. But I must admit, when I learned that you’d be starting the second game of a doubleheader as the 27th man, I wasn’t necessarily excited. Perhaps it was the fact that Dobbins has only 24 IP in Triple-A — and it’s true that he definitely could use some more development at that level.
Kansas baseball uses annual Autism Awareness game as further reflection of team’s culture

3 weeks ago | www2.ljworld.com | Avery Hamel

As Kansas baseball prepares for its annual Autism Awareness game — a game that is close to the heart of head coach Dan Fitzgerald, whose 13-year-old son Max has autism — Fitzgerald and his staff have something more to be proud of than just the team’s best start in Big 12 Conference play in team history (6-3). “Whether they like it or not, they get to experience my family, my life, and my assistants’ families, their lives,” Fitzgerald said. “That’s how we built this thing.
Jayhawks win series opener against OSU behind Voegele’s career night

4 weeks ago | www2.ljworld.com | Avery Hamel

Kansas baseball rode another dazzling start from sophomore ace Dominic Voegele — who was selected as the preseason Big 12 pitcher of the year — to a 5-2 win over Oklahoma State on Friday night in front of a record 2,660 fans. Voegele impressed in front of Hoglund Ballpark’s second-ever sellout crowd, throwing eight-plus innings for the longest start of his career and striking out 10 batters to tie his career high.
The Red Sox’ early rotation injuries could benefit a few young pitchers

1 month ago | overthemonster.com | Avery Hamel

Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images While it’s not ideal that Kutter Crawford, Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito are all unlikely to start the season on Boston’s major league roster, it gives a relatively young Red Sox team a chance to test its rotation depth, proving young pitchers with valuable big league experience during the “easiest” time of the year. Last year, early injuries decimated a Red Sox rotation that was the shining jewel for Boston through the first few month of the season.
