How fitting that Richard Johnson of the Sports Museum throws out the first pitch prior to the night game of today’s doubleheader, with the Red Sox aspiring to extend their winning streak to a best-in-franchise-history 16 games.

Willson Contreras, who hasn't been in the lineup for the last three games, has been a super-active cheerleader, sprinting out of the dugout after every inning to congratulate all of his teammates after scoreless innings. His brother William -- also not in the lineup -- is also firing up teammates.

Today was an exciting day. I mailed my Hall of Fame vote to Cooperstown. I'm a first time voter but a long time beat writer (24 years). This is an honor I'm not taking lightly. CC: @notmrtibbs.com

Scott Boras on what a potential fit could look like between Pete Alonso and the Green Monster: "The numbers illustrate that Pete hits really well there. Sees the ball well. Big man in small quarters, it's nice to be the redwood tree in the forest, I guess."

I would just about guarantee Roman won't be in the lineup tomorrow.

Alex Bregman will play twice this weekend at Fenway. Alex Cora wouldn't specify if it is Friday and Sunday or Saturday and Sunday.

Jordan Hicks got two outs today for Triple-A Worcester, giving up three hits and two runs. He walked one, struck out none and threw 23 pitches, 10 for strikes. He'll probably get one or two more before the Red Sox decide if he should be activated on Friday.

When I write Yaz and Devers back-to-back in my scorebook, it feels like the makings of some all-time Red Sox lineup.

“I would say that I have put some good numbers over at Boston and I think that I do feel that I have earned some respect. And I if they would have asked me at the beginning of Spring Training, yes, I would have played.”

A Friday in San Francisco against Rafael Devers and the Giants. Here is how the Red Sox line them up: Duran LF, Narváez C, Anthony DH, Toro 1B, Abreu RF, Story SS, Mayer 3B, Rafaela CF, Hamilton 2B, Dobbins P

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Rafael Devers mostly didn't want to talk about the past today but he did offer this. He said if the Red Sox had asked him to play first at the beginning of Spring Training, he would have.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Jon Miller is amazing. I was listening to him call Yaz hits in 1980. 45 years later I just heard his call of a Devers single. One of the best at what he does, ever.

Amazingly, Raffy said he will play anywhere in San Francisco. Just a slight attitude change!

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

James Tibbs III is ranked No. 6 in the Red Sox farm system by MLB Pipeline following yesterday's trade with the Giants. He will obviously move up when Anthony, Mayer graduate past prospect status in the next month or so.

A few days after Alex Bregman told @alexspeier.bsky.social his recovery was going at "warp speed", Alex Cora said that Bregman has started running. Bregman has a date in mind to come back, but Cora wouldn't divulge what it is.

Roster moves today. Fitts optioned. Burdi to the IL. Criswell and Kelly called up. Dobbins the fifth starter for now.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

I think Dana Kiecker pitched Game 2 of the 1990 ALCS, which is another story altogether.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

With Romy Gonzalez activated and Abraham Toro hitting so well, Alex Cora basically said the Kristian Campbell to 1B experiment is being put on hold, though he'll still take some grounders there.

Crochet's 23 swings and misses today were one short of a career high. He had 24 twice last season with the White Sox.
