Not Every Team Deserves a Netflix Sports Documentary
Last season the Boston Red Sox were the picture of mediocrity, finishing 81-81, dead middle of the American League East Division, and failing to make the playoffs. The Red Sox were expected to be meh, and they were. So my expectations for The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox, an eight-episode docuseries released by Netflix Inc. in April, were low. The idea of spending eight hours rehashing their humdrum season sounded like a chore, even for this Sox fan. At first glance, The Clubhouse seemed like another unnecessary sports doc. Since the breakout success of Formula 1: Drive to Survive and The Last Dance, both of which helped fill the void when most live sports were canceled during the early days of the pandemic, programmers have been clamoring for unscripted sports series. At the start of 2019, according to data from Ampere Analysis, sports accounted for 3% of all newly commissioned documentaries, both upcoming and released. So far in the second quarter of this year, that share is 12%.

Yankees' Aaron Judge Sends Words of Support for Red Sox's Jarren Duran
During Sunday's game at Progressive Field against the Cleveland Guardians, a fan hurled inappropriate and unwarranted remarks at Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, who recently opened up about his mental health struggles and suicide attempt in the Netflix series "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox." According to an ESPN report, the fan taunted Duran about his suicide attempt from three years ago during the seventh inning stretch. The spectator was ejected from the game and could face a harsh penalty from MLB. Rightfully so. Advertisement Duran received encouraging words of support from the Red Sox organization and MLB players around the league, including New York Yankees star Aaron Judge. "Definitely," Judge told NJ Advance Media's Randy Miller on Monday about whether Duran has his support. Judge and Duran were American League teammates at the 2024 MLB All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. 'Getting to know him [Duran] a little bit, he's a great kid," Judge told Miller after the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. "He's got a bright future ahead of him. What a tremendous athlete. We all go through our struggles in life, our ups and downs. For Jarren to prevail and still be doing what he loves to do, I definitely feel for what he's gone through and what he had to go through on Sunday. New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) hits a solo home run during the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Carchietta-Imagn Images 'You can boo and you can say whatever you want about performance, but what happened in Cleveland is taking it too far.' Advertisement Another Yankees player, Cody Bellinger, told Miller that the Guardians fan should be banned from Progressive Field for life and that MLB players are "all human beings with emotions and feelings. It was hard to hear what that fan said to Duran." Judge and Bellinger's remarks and support for Duran demonstrate that a historic rivalry between the two AL East organizations can be easily set aside. Hopefully, MLB will implement harsh penalties for the improper behavior the individual displayed over the weekend. Related: Former MLB GM Makes Bold Prediction About Red Sox's Roman Anthony

Cleveland fan ejected after 'inappropriate' comment to Red Sox's Jarren Duran
Cleveland fan ejected after 'inappropriate' comment to Red Sox's Jarren Duran Show Caption Hide Caption Dodgers may not repeat title, according to Alex Rodriguez Alex Rodriguez thinks the Dodgers are a strong team, but stats say otherwise when it comes to repeating their World Series title. Sports Seriously Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran's encounter with a heckler on Sunday in Cleveland led to the fan's ejection and an apology from the Guardians. Duran described the fan's comments as "inappropriate" and indicated they were about his mental health struggles. He has been open about his 2022 attempted suicide and depression when he struggled at the beginning of his major league career in 2021 and 2022. His story is featured in an eight-part Netflix docuseries, "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox." During the seventh inning of Boston's 13-3 victory on Sunday, the Red Sox scored three runs and Duran flew out on what was otherwise a stellar day with four hits. The fan yelled at him while he went back to the Boston dugout. Duran stood at the top of the dugout and stared at the fan, who was seated in the front row near the dugout. When the third out was made, Duran went to talk to the fan. "He said something inappropriate, but I'm happy that security handled it," Duran said after the game. "Security was aware of it and took care of it for me." Duran was held back by some Red Sox coaches and first base umpire Stu Scheurwater, and then eventually by teammate Ceddanne Rafaela. An All-Star in 2024, Duran said Sunday was the first time he has been heckled since the documentary came out earlier this month. "When you open yourself up like that, you're also opening yourself up to the enemies, but I have a good support staff around me along with teammates and coaches, which is awesome," said Duran, 28. Fans seated at Progressive Field pointed out the heckler, who then sprinted out of his seat and onto the concourse, where he was escorted out of the stadium by security. "We are aware of the situation that took place during today's game between a fan and one of the Red Sox players that violated our fan conduct policy," the Guardians said in a statement. "We recognize the gravity of the behavior at issue here and take very seriously conduct of this nature. "We apologize to the Red Sox organization, the player involved, fans in the area and are addressing the situation. We have identified the fan in question and will work with Major League Baseball regarding next steps. We strive to provide the best experience to visiting players and fans, and that fell short today." Duran has a recent history with fan engagement, having been suspended two games last season for making a homophobic slur at a fan who heckled him about his hitting. "It's a two-way street," Boston manager Alex Cora said after the game Sunday. "We made a mistake last year, and we learned from it. (Duran) grew as an individual and we grew as a group but there's limits, too. Whatever the fan said, security felt that he crossed a line and kicked him out." Duran was 7-for-15 with three RBIs and one straight steal of home as Boston took two of three games against Cleveland.

Cleveland fan ejected for heckling Red Sox star who had revealed suicide attempt
CLEVELAND — Jarren Duran has found plenty of support from his Boston Red Sox teammates and others outside baseball since he revealed in a Netflix documentary that he attempted to take his life three years ago. His openness has also exposed him to hecklers, though. Duran said a fan in the front row Sunday near the Red Sox dugout in Cleveland said 'something inappropriate' to him after the All-Star left fielder flied out in the seventh inning of a 13-3 victory over the Guardians. Duran stayed on the top step of the dugout and glared at the fan as the inning played out. During the seventh-inning stretch, before the singing of 'God Bless America,' Red Sox teammates and coaches kept Duran away from the area as umpires and Progressive Field security personnel gathered to handle the situation. The fan tried to run up the aisle, but was caught by security and taken out of the stadium. 'The fans just said something inappropriate. I'm just happy that the security handled it and the umpires were aware of it and they took care of it for me,' Duran said. After the game, the Guardians released a statement apologizing to the Red Sox and Duran. The team said it has identified the fan and is working with Major League Baseball on next steps. Duran said it was the first time he was heckled by a fan about his suicide attempt and mental health struggles since the Netflix series 'The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox' was released April 8. 'When you open yourself up like that, you also open yourself up to the enemies. But I have a good support staff around me, teammates, coaches. There were fans that were supporting me, so that was awesome,' he said. Boston manager Alex Cora was in the opposite corner of the Red Sox dugout but lauded security for how the incident was handled. Cora was even prouder of Duran's restraint. Duran was suspended for two games last season when he directed a homophobic slur at a heckling fan at Fenway Park when the fan shouted that Duran needed a tennis racket to hit. 'There's a two-way street. That's something I said last year. We made a mistake last year and we learned from it. We grew up, you know, as an individual and as a group,' Cora said. The incident dampened what had been a solid game and series for Duran. He went 4 for 6 with an RBI and had at least three hits in consecutive games for the second time in his career.
