Condensed Game: Boston Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers – September 27, 2025

Champagne is the highest form of celebration and the Boston Red Sox for the first time since 2021 broke it out last night case after case. It was bedum again at Fenway. The 25 Red Sox headed for October after a classic Fenway Greens Friday night win. Postseason bound indeed. Dave O’Brien along with Lou Maloney also Jama Webster in just a couple of moments. And it’s that feeling l of ah there it is that wonderful feeling of going back to postseason play. It’s been a fascinating season and the Red Sox are headed to October. One reason for all that champagne Son Raphaela he’s got that big poppy jean and it came through again last night. Jamai, you got a chance to talk with him after the game. You’ve been talking with him all season long. Last night really, really special. It was absolutely I think I’m still drying myself out from all the champagne and beer showers, Obie. But what a treat really to be just a passenger on this Red Sox journey, a guest if you will to the celebration last night which was a culmination of all the hard work that’s going back to the winter then into the spring which is what made this extra sweet for a lot of guys including Saddan Raphaela. How are you doing right now? Great. I’m doing great. Listen, all year you’ve been able to come through with the clutch hits. What is it about those moments where you find a way to come through? I’m never scared. I want to be there in those situations. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed, but I want to be there. I want to be the guy to have those type of won’t need in the first round, but you will in the second round. Cut on and miss. Struck him out. Boy, he’s got a good curve ball. strikeout pitch. You know, early covers a lot of things, you know, and this curveball is very good to go with a few other pitches that he fills the zone with. You wonder how teams can miss on players that badly. Swing and a miss. Struck him out. Back to the curve ball and two down. I tell you, early has been impressive. His last outing in Tampa, we talked about the speedster Simpson. He led off that game with a hit and it kind of rattled him. But the last three games really more of the same from Connley early, keeping hitters off balance. He just knows how to pitch. He’s got a full arsenal to attack them. Well, the thing that impresses me is this is sort of old school. Now, I understand the game of baseball is all about power and they get these kids in the lab and and they get them throwing hard and medicine balls and velocity is increasing. Four, five miles an hour, everything’s power Bill nasty sweeper. He’s already punched out a three, one away in the second. Even guy like Pton told he didn’t come into minor leagues throwing 99 100. You know what I mean? That fast ball was lower 90s. Big kid. They felt like get him in the program, he’ll tick velocity, which is what Connley Early has done. But this kid when he was throwing 88, 90 m an hour in college, knew how to pitch, knew how to get guys out. Swing in and miss strike three. Picked up four strikeouts in two innings. Bottom of the second and Sadon getting a big hand as he climbs in. Why not? Last night, his third walk-off, [Music] as he told Jamaia in the post game, I’m not scared. I’m never scared. It was officially a triple, by the way, if you’re wondering. That hit last night. Yeah. And offensively, maybe the the biggest piece that’s come around here. Obviously, other guys have gotten going. Gregman’s looked better. Low Masa, this guy here is so important to this lineup. Inning number five today. Last seven, 423, 11 for 26, five extra base hits. As we mentioned, last home stand. We’re sitting here big ball game. He gets pinch hit for late. Soggard. That’s where we were eight games ago, right? We went on the road and all of a sudden he got hot again. and then last night happened. You’ve got to manage that and Alex Cora did a beautiful job with that. [Music] You saw it last night. Gave him a big hug and what he did several times since lifting him and pinch hitting for him. He just sort of raised his chin like keep your chin up all during that time maintaining confidence in the player. It’s one of the reasons Kora is Kora and how he manages the in between stuff and his player respond. He never lost the player despite hitting for him in a crucial situation on that last home. He’ll float that one towards center and it’ll drop in for a base hit. [Applause] this last night. Alex Cora and a big hug. Yep, there it is. That chin up. Keep that chin up. saw that many times and he responds to that 2-2 off the glove deflected into center field. That’ll be a base hit. Sadon scores now. Vayz safely into third and the Red Sox strike first here. One to nothing over the Tigers. Soulgard’s hit just sort of core always says it takes all 26, right? and sometimes even adds takes all 40 the whole 40man roster. I think this team really went through that. A big hit by Soggard. He had that walk-off made contact the other night a week ago or so when he pitched hit for Raphaela Nate Eaton who just flew out. What a month of September he has had with William Abrau out. He’s at 372 in September. Abrau’s out. He’s been hitting running the bases. They’ve had so many pieces. Don’t forget Abraham Toro who was here was on fire for about 6 weeks. A lot of role players that have come up huge for this ball club. Plenty of arms that have come through. Takes 40 guys, sometimes even more. Feel like it has this year. Check swing. Little blooper and a dive. What a play by Bay. Spectacular catch. thought he had no chance on that. He’s special defender. This was beautiful play by Bayz. Hamilton doesn’t think so, but a great catch. [Music] Yeah, I mean, shoot, you might even be talking about Crochet as the only one where you’d reliably expect five innings from any of the starters. In the last couple of years, the majority well last year specifically, the majority of batters faced in the postseason were by relievers. And that’s that’s just what we see. The move starts being made in the fifth inning. We saw it with Gito a couple nights ago, right? Got him, man. 94 mph fast ball to punch out Torres for the second time. He is just rolling right this four seam fast ball freezing a good hitter inner half of course you got to line up right there’s some stress there’s no question about it and they’re struggling to score runs but really filling the zone making everybody work executing his pitches got him curve ball’s been vicious sure as again this breaking ball kind of slurvy all right and kind of blend into may see it pop pop up as a sweeper but it just kind of varies the velocity a little bit but he’s gotten a ton of swings seven swings on that pitch already swinging misses socks have nobody warming in the bullpen at the moment And a base hit into left field. That’ll chase in Dingler. Here comes the second run. The throw home and not in time. Bayz scores and Detroit takes the lead two to one. So it turned out to be very costly walk of the number nine hitter and the Tigers are in front. Yeah, you know, the costly one was the four pitch walk to Meadows. Bayz little fisted fly ball out to right field that dropped and you know needing to regroup on that nine-hole hitter. Meadows was a four pitch walk to get to a guy in Jones to swing the bat real well for this team. One-1 pitch, bounding ball. The Bios will lap it over there and the final score two to one. The Tigers win it. They’re into postseason play. Probably a lot later than they thought would have liked. You always people always talk about how they struggled down the stretch, back door their way in. 162 games. They’ve struggled the last 30, but they were so good the first 130 that they were able to. And once the postseason starts, you got a guy in school just like you have in Crochet. It can still be a very dangerous club. As we say, it’s 162 games.
