Red Sox-Yankees game gets delayed by chicken bucket that fell from stands
The post Red Sox-Yankees game gets delayed by chicken bucket that fell from stands appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Boston Red Sox picked up a much-needed 10-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night, giving them an opportunity to win the series on Sunday. Along the way, though, the game was delayed for a very odd reason, and it led to a slew of reactions flying in on social media from fans who were baffled by what they had just seen. Advertisement In the bottom of the eighth inning, New York was attempting to rally from the 8-5 deficit they found themselves in. The game ended up having to be paused briefly, though, because a fan dropped a bucket of chicken on the field, leading the grounds crew to make a quick clean up. Soon after that, DJ LeMahieu hit a two-run single that cut the deficit to 8-7, giving the Yankees a shot to come out on top. 'We had a brief chicken bucket delay. One fell onto the right-field warning track. That led to a 2-run single by DJ LeMahieu, cutting Boston's lead to 8-7,' Chris Kirschner of The Athletic shared in a post on X. Reactions to strange Red Sox-Yankees delay come flying in Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Boston would respond by scoring a pair of runs in the top of the ninth inning to ice this game away, but the chicken bucket incident had already made its mark. After seeing the unique delay, fans began chiming in on social media about the incident, leading to some hilarious comments along the way. Advertisement @JoezMcfly on X credited the chicken bucket for New York's late rally, labeling the incident 'The chicken bucket summoned rally.' @YankeesNerds seemed to believe that the move was intentional, claiming, 'That fan sacrificed his chicken bucket for a DJ hit!' @yankeedoug27 humorously said, 'SPLIT CHICKEN BUCKET comes through!!' At the end of the day, the chicken bucket rally fell short, but just when you think you've seen it all, something new happens in the world of baseball that has never been seen before. Now, the Red Sox and Yankees will square off in the rubber match of this three-game series, with first pitch scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET on Sunday night.

The New York Yankees 2025: How to watch Aaron Judge and the Yanks this MLB season
It's about that time — for rattling trains to pull into the 161 St. stop, for right-field roll calls and spreading the news, for John Sterling impressions in every register. The New York Yankees? 'Da New York Yankees!' Watching this franchise fashions a pinstripe throughline across baseball's history. Different iterations have been the Evil Empire, 'the luckiest men on the face of the earth' and much in between. But watching all 162 games has never been more complicated due to the carousel of new streaming options and frustrating blackout rules. Advertisement Consider this your recap rundown of the ever-changing broadcast rotation. And make sure you're following the Yankees in your Athletic feed. Chris Kirschner and Brendan Kuty cover the team for us — they're among the very best in the Yanks' massive multiverse. Fubo is a cable-cutter streaming platform that provides local and national channels and add-on sports packages. Any game on YES, ESPN, Fox, or MLB Network can be streamed on Fubo (more on those below). TBS games cannot. What you need to watch these games: First, you'll need a Fubo subscription (the most MLB you can stream without cable). Most users can get away with the Pro plan for $84.99 a month. If you want 4K, the price increases to $94.99. For access to more games, there is the add-on, which streams every out-of-market game for $29.99 a month, and Sports Lite, which includes the MLB Network, NBA TV and the Tennis Channel for $9.99 a month. Cord-cutters in the New York tri-state area can catch the familiar trappings of Michael Kay and his crew with Fubo, DirecTV Stream or the à la carte Gotham Sports configuration. On there, the YES package goes for $200 per year (and includes the NBA's Brooklyn Nets), while a full $320 also gets MSG (with the New York Knicks, Rangers and Islanders, plus the nearby New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres). Hulu's live package recently lost YES, and it's been unavailable on YouTube TV for several years. Local streamers using the app will be met with a deflating blackout notice. What you need to watch these games: Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Gotham Sports Starting this season, Amazon will have 21 Yankees games, almost all of them streaming on Wednesday nights. It's the same YES production but will only be available on Prime. That's … different. As one Manhattanite put it, 'The Times They Are a-Changin'.' What you need to watch these games: A carrier that has YES From the Subway Series to Ryan Ruocco calling a languid summer Rays tilt, all of the YES broadcasts can be found on the following providers: Throughout the year, MLB Network picks up almost 300 local broadcasts for national audiences so out-of-towners can watch some YES games. Additionally, MLB Network offers 26 unique 'showcase' games that get original production but are not subject to local blackouts. In general, the package will give you the entire regular season (excluding national games and in-market games for your region), from the AL East to the NL West. Access to all teams on goes for a one-time $150. Fubo has an package for $29.99 a month. What you need to watch these games: MLB Network for some of them / for all of them The league has partnered with ESPN since 1990; that ends this fall. Yup, the purveyors of the iconic music are indeed opting out of their remaining baseball broadcasts. For this season, you'll still find select primetime Yanks matchups here, starting on Opening Day with the first Brewers game. The Sunday closer of the Subway Series is almost always on ESPN. Karl Ravech and Jon Sciambi are usually on the mic; former Yankee and regular YES-er David Cone pops up here, too, as does Buster Olney and Eduardo Pérez. Think Sundays, especially 'Sunday Night Baseball.' Advertisement There seems to be an annual Yankees-Red Sox game on Fox, and we get three this year (June 7 and 14, Aug. 21). New York will also run a World Series rematch with the LA Dodgers on May 31. Fox is where you'll hear Joe Davis or Adam Amin on the call, plus former players turned color commentators like John Smoltz and A. J. Pierzynski. Fox often has a Saturday spot. This is the Tuesday action. There's a lot of 'NYY' stamped around the first-half schedule: Tuesday, April 1 versus the Diamondbacks, May 6 versus the Padres, June 3 against Cleveland and June 10 against Kansas City. Brian Anderson does the TBS Tuesday games; Pedro Martínez, who these particular fans will recognize as the son of the Yankees, is in their studio show, along with four-year pinstriper Curtis Granderson. TBS games can also be streamed on Max. The purple metropolis now has 'MLB Sunday Leadoff' games free from blackout restrictions. The Yankees play here once: a June 22 morning matchup with the Baltimore Orioles. Similarly, there's one national look reserved for the team on Apple TV's Friday night slot. It'll be the opener of that Yankees-Dodgers series. That World Series grudge perfectly illustrates our primetime schedule at large: Apple TV on Friday, Fox on Saturday, ESPN on Sunday, and otherwise thoroughly blacked out for local viewers.

PHOTOS: Inside Rays' new home as Yankees reveal upgrades to Steinbrenner Field
TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays may not want to leave. After Hurricane Milton ravaged Tropicana Field in October, the Rays and the New York Yankees struck a deal that would allow Tampa Bay to play its 2025 regular season home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Since then, there's been lots of speculation about how that would actually work. Was it asking too much to host major-league games in a minor-league park? Would it be too hot in the summer? Would there be enough room for everything? Advertisement On Thursday, the Yankees unveiled updates to Steinbrenner Field that should at least make things a little cozier for manager Kevin Cash's team. The team overhauled its player and staff facilities and expanded the stadium's concourse for fans over the last two years, according to a press release from the Yankees. Matt Ferry, the Yankees' director of baseball operations, said much of the remodeling was done after speaking with players such as right fielder Aaron Judge, starting pitcher Gerrit Cole and others. The Yankees moved their base operations from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa in 1996. 'We've been here for a long time,' Ferry said. 'How to maintain a facility that's getting older, but keep it as modern as possible? I think we checked off a lot of those objectives.' Cole raved about the facilities. 'Everything's new,' he said. 'The space is great. There's tons of natural light. High ceilings. Good privacy. I think the flow is great … from the training room to the locker room, having those be right there alongside with the outside warm-up place. 'It feels good to have a really nice facility and new players will come in or the word will get out and the Rays will enjoy this, I'll tell you that.'
