Red Sox vs Reds Pitching Matchups: Garrett Crochet, Sonny Gray, Connelly Early lead Opening Series

Haggerty: Bruins lagging offensively with 'best players' struggling
It’s getting to the time of year when the best players for the Boston Bruins need to step it up if they’re going to crash the Stanley Cup playoff party. The B’s could only scratch for a pair of goals in the third period in a 4-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night where they outshot the Sharks, but couldn’t finish off enough plays against a San Jose goalie in Alex Nedeljkovic that admittedly played very well while making 39 saves for the Sharks. “We were just looking for that one goal, and it just didn’t happen for maybe too long,” said Marco Sturm. “We know once we get one going, we get the crowd going and we can change the game. But for some reason it was a little off today and we weren’t sharp. We had early chances and couldn’t score, and that was the hockey game.”
Simone's Six: Luka Garza, Derrick White, and what went wrong in Celtics-Grizzlies
For over 40 minutes of game time on Friday night, the Memphis Grizzlies ran the Boston Celtics out of the gym. The score may not have told that story, but the game did. Memphis outran, outhustled, and outshot the Celtics. But none of that will go in the record books.
Simone's Six: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's takeover, offensive rebounding, and Jaylen Brown's fight against pressure in Celtics-Thunder
Basketball is an imperfect game. A flow chart of decisions, all boiling down to one end result. Sometimes two teams are so tightly packed together that a single moment can decide the outcome.
BSJ Game Report: Celtics 109, Hawks 102 - Pritchard halts streaking Atlanta
Once again, the Boston Celtics got hounded by ball pressure. The Atlanta Hawks brought it in waves the last time these two teams squared off, and they did the same to begin Friday night's game.
Haggerty: B's second line continues to bring bit of everything
The Bruins scored their third goal of Thursday night’s game in the closing minutes of the second period on a scramble by the second line with each of the three forwards crashing the net and attacking the puck. It was very unclear after the puck popped up in the air and bounced off a Winnipeg defender’s glove as to which player actually scored the goal. It was eventually credited to Viktor Arvidsson, but Arvidsson, Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt all stood there in comic bewilderment not sure as to which player should lead the fist bump honors as the goal scorer. “Yeah, it took a long time for us to figure it out…we still haven’t figured it out,” said a smiling Arvidsson. “It’s fine. It went in and that’s the most important thing.” The three forwards had a good laugh about it after the game while helping power the Bruins to a 6-1 thrashing of the Winnipeg Jets at TD Garden on Thursday night. The victory keeps the Bruins implanted in the No. 1 wild card playoff spot, but it is going to be a wild finish with three playoff spots essentially for four teams in Boston, Detroit, Columbus and the New York Islanders that have just a single point separating them in the Eastern Conference standings.
Simone's Six: Payton Pritchard-palooza, a defensive examination, and rebounding in Celtics-Hawks
The Boston Celtics were met with a significant challenge on Friday night. They were buried in buckets by the Atlanta Hawks and quickly faced a 25-9 deficit. Then, Payton Pritchard turned the game on its head.
Hurley: What's really at stake in an A.J. Brown trade?
I wanted to provide one bit of perspective when it comes to the actual cost of acquiring A.J. Brown for the Patriots. The words "first-round pick" can mean a whole lot of things, so I thought it best to zero in on the exact area in the first round that the Patriots own their pick this year to try to provide some detail on the caliber of player that gets taken that late in the first. That way, perhaps we'll all be able to determine how we feel about coughing up a first-round pick, if that is indeed the high end of the asking price for Brown.
Red Sox Opening Day roster set: Garrett Crochet leads rebuilt rotation, all eyes on Roman Anthony

Simone's Six: Defensive chess, offensive checkers, and a Jayson Tatum update in Celtics-Wolves
Everything looked good until it wasn’t. And then it was again. And then it wasn’t. Sunday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves was a true back-and-forth affair, but the Wolves got the last laugh.
Giardi: Time for the Patriots to take a tight end in the '26 Draft
The Patriots need an infusion of talent, with Hunter Henry much closer to the end than the beginning. The veteran wore down as the season progressed, largely because he was asked to do too much as a blocker.
