Tony Vitello said Marcelo Mayer is dealing with some foot soreness and won’t be in Boston this weekend.

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.

I was waiting to talk to the players after the game to see what they said instead of assuming in real time. I know that is a foreign concept in today's world.

Update: With a second homer tonight, Contreras is now on pace for 37 homers.

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.

Abreu/Beltran similar but way more homers for Beltran. I will continue to evaluate Abreu in 27. Hamels, Buehrle had similar credentials to Pettitte but Andy's performance on the October stage for five World Series championship teams (he also played in three other World Series) was a separator IMO.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

He is definitely someone I will continue to evaluate. He was very underrated..amazing he made so few All Star teams.

Pettitte association with HGH (not steroids) was two to three years before MLB formalized a testing program for PEDs. Manny failed two tests and served lengthy suspensions for steroids longer after testing was in place.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

HGH (Pettitte) with alleged use two to three years before MLB even had a testing program. Testing positive for anabolic steroids and being suspended multiple times after a testing program was in place (Manny).

MLBdotocom writers gained entry into the BBWAA in 2016. You need to be in the BBWAA for 10 years before you are eligible to vote for HOF.

That is also known as the game that forced Dante Scarnecchia to unretire.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Yeah. Von Miller destroyed him all day.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

The fourth and goal throw for the TD was also insane. Why the heck did he go to Edelman instead of Gronk for the two pointer?

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Absolutely insane. I still can't believe they lost that game!!!

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Seriously this is ridiculous. Fourth and 10 and the season on the line.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

You are so right. That was a beautiful play. Brady sent the tone for the second half of the dynasty with that pass.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Amazing that of those three hail marys in the Super Bowl losses (42, 46 and 52), none of them got caught. Just because it was Tom, you figured he would have hit on one of those three miracles.

Ian Browne @ianmbrowne.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Gronk on fourth down in the fourth quarter of 2015 AFC Championship Game in Denver. Brady was getting the crap beaten out of him and he kept making big throws in the fourth quarter. If only they didn't miss the 2-pointer. Also, Danny Ammendola, back of the end zone against Jax in AFC title game.

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.
