Boston Baseball

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): What a first day of the 2025 postseason! Bradfo was boots on the ground at Yankee Stadium to get a first-hand look at a dynamic that should be celebrated throughout the baseball world - the return of dominant starting pitching to the postseason. He not only breaks down Garrett Crochet's 117-pitch outing (with help from a conversation with Crochet), but also joins Gordo (Play Tessie) to reflect on a flurry of memorable starts throughout the Wild Card round. A year after the relievers pitched more innings than the starters in the postseason, we might be getting back to the alpha starting pitchers taking over in the playoffs once again. And to tie a bow on the discussion, Bradfo also talks with David Cone about functioning as a workhorse in the postseason. He did, after all, throw 152 pitches in one playoff game 30 years ago.

And, Carlos Narvaez helped knock Max Fried out of the game, but should Connor Wong be Brayan Bello's catcher for Game 2?

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow could very well secure a World Series ring without throwing a pitch, thanks to his role in building the roster as the team's top decision-maker. But few know the story of when Breslow earned a WS ring as a player despite not throwing a single pitch or appearing in a game. It's the story you probably didn't know, but needed to.
