Red Sox game vs. Orioles postponed (rain) Thursday; doubleheader set for Friday
BOSTON — It was always a long shot that the Red Sox and Orioles would play the opening game of their four-game series Thursday with heavy rain in the forecast all day and night. Now, the matchup has officially been postponed. The club announced the postponement more than four hours before the scheduled first pitch time of 6:45 p.m. ET, citing 'significant rainfall expected to continue through the evening in the Fenway area.' The teams will play a split doubleheader Friday with Game 1 scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET and Game 2 set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Advertisement Tickets for the postponed game will be good for admission to the rescheduled contest in the afternoon. Both games will be on NESN. Righty Brayan Bello, Friday's original scheduled starter, will go in Game 1. Lucas Giolito, who was slated to pitch Thursday, will pitch the nightcap. The Red Sox will be able to call up a 27th player for Friday's doubleheader. That's expected to be a pitcher with the bullpen having heavily been taxed in the three-game series against the Mets. The forecast for the rest of the night is not at all encouraging. 'Rain, with thunderstorms also possible after 5pm,' per the National Weather Service. 'Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 49. East wind around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.' Advertisement The Red Sox have already been rained out three times this season, — at home against St. Louis, on April 25 in Cleveland and now Thursday. They swept their April 6 doubleheader against the Cardinals and split with the Guardians on April 26. They'll now play four games in three days against Baltimore before hitting the road Monday for a Memorial Day matinee in Milwaukee. Boston took two of three from New York and is one game under .500 at 25-26. The struggling Orioles, who fired manager Brandon Hyde and replaced him with interim skipper Tony Mansolino earlier this week, enter the series at 16-32.

Alex Bregman departs Red Sox game vs. Orioles with leg injury
Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman had to leave Friday afternoon's game against the Baltimore Orioles in the fifth inning with an apparent leg injury. The team called the injury "right quad tightness" shortly after Bregman's departure. The injury leaves the Red Sox without the team's most consistent bat on a day they have to play two games against the Orioles. Life is certainly not getting any easier for Boston, though the Red Sox took a 6-2 lead over Baltimore the inning after Bregman was forced to leave. Alex Bregman's injury With two outs and no runners on in the bottom of the fifth, Bregman laced a line drive single off the Green Monster in left field. He rounded first before putting on the brakes when he realized stretching the hit into a double wasn't the best call, but appeared to tweak something in his leg in the process. Bregman knew something was wrong as he went back to first base and immediately pointed to his leg and signaled for a pinch-runner. Alex Bregman exits the game after awkwardly rounding first on this play ⬇️ Abraham Toro in to replace him — NESN (@NESN) May 23, 2025 Bregman walked off the field and into the Boston locker room, and was replaced by pinch-runner Abraham Toro. Nick Sogard moved from first to third to take over for Bregman in the top of the sixth, while Toro took over for Sogard at first base. It's unclear how much time the injury will cost Bregman, but the Red Sox likely have a big void to fill in the lineup Friday night. Alex Bregman with the Red Sox Bregman has been Boston's most consistent player in his first season with the Red Sox, leading the team with 11 home runs (Rafael Devers tied it with his 11th home in the sixth inning Friday) and 17 doubles while sitting second at 35 RBI, trailing only Devers and his 42 RBI. Bregman was slashing .299/.385/.553 for the Red Sox after his fifth-inning single on Friday. Losing him takes one of Boston's best bats out of the lineup, and one of the team's most solid gloves in the field. We'll now wait to see how severe the injury is and how long it might cost Bregman, who signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox late in the offseason. The Red Sox also play the Orioles at 7:10 p.m. on Friday night, so it'll be interesting to see who Alex Cora pencils in at third base for that tilt. Devers has been Boston's DH since Bregman signed on, and hasn't played third since last season. The Bregman injury could potentially open the door for prospect Marcelo Mayer to make his way to the Majors, though he is currently in the Worcester Red Sox lineup for their 4:05 p.m. game against Durham in Worcester.

Was the Boston Celtics' 2024-25 season a failure?
Was the Boston Celtics' 2024-25 season a failure? As far as the 2024-25 NBA regular season goes, it is hard to look at a 60+ win season after hanging a banner as anything even close to a flop. But in the City of Boston, they do not care much about regular season win totals with the history of the storied ball club in the postseason being what it is, nor should they. An early exit from the postseason in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs certainly does not feel like much of an accomplishment, but with a new champion every year for the last seven, including this one with the vast majority going out in the second round adds some important context. Or does it? Advertisement The folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel took some time on a recent episode of their "Boston has Entered the Chat" show to talk it over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say. This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Was the Celtics' 2024-25 season a failure?
