Boston Baseball

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): It was another wild weekend in Major League Baseball, with the Reds winning eight straight - and Elly De La Cruz continuing to prove he might be the world's fastest man - the Giants taking their seventh in a row, and the Phillies staying red-hot by extending their win streak to six. The Red Sox also have now won four in a row after sweeping the Yankees at Fenway Park, which was the site of another momentous occasion: The return of Hall of Famer and former broadcaster Dennis Eckersley. In his first interview since leaving the game of baseball - and the broadcast booth - and moving across the country, Eck sits down with Rob Bradford to talk about his decision, his life and his view of the state of baseball. David Cone also makes a surprise cameo. It's a great way to kick off the week.     To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy   Learn more about your ad choices.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Daniel Bard has certainly inspired plenty of athletes with his battle back from the condition known as the "Yips". But it was one sports writer, Julian McWilliams of the Boston Globe, who truly could appreciate the presence of Bard. It was an admiration that was punctuated with McWilliams — whose own college and pro baseball career was ended by the Yips — meeting up with the Rockies reliever to talk about the journeys and challenges both faced during their baseball journeys.

Joe Weil recaps a newsworthy day at Fenway Park ending with a 7-6 loss in 10 innings to the Rockies and starting with Alex Cora's adjustments to the fielding positions. What to make of Kike's ending as the Red Sox everyday shortstop? And why is Justin Turner going to play more first base over Triston Casas?

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Daniel Bard hadn't been back at Fenway Park since 2013, when he was pitching for the Red Sox. Considering all the ups and downs the reliever has experienced over that 10 years, you can understand why returning to Fenway hit different for Bard. That's why Rob Bradford caught up with the Rockies pitcher just moments after being reintroduced to his old stomping grounds.
