hey guess what
It sounds like Boston Red Sox color commentator Jerry Remy learned nothing from the Mike Schmidt controversy that dominated baseball news Tuesday. Because about 12 hours after the Phillies legend created headlines for his criticism of Odubel Herrera not speaking English, Remy was on the air for NESN saying non-English speaking players shouldn’t be allowed to use translators on the field.
“Learn baseball language,” Remy said.
This came in a discussion about New York Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka, whose translator came to a visit on the pitcher’s mound during Tuesday night’s 5-4 loss to the Red Sox. Remy, who is 64 and played 10 seasons in the big leagues, said such a thing shouldn’t be legal.

i think he's pretty good, but yeah he has his phrases -- eg 'losing it' for hitting a homer -- and he'll drive them into the ground

RossThere is a rumor among Boston people on Twitter that David Price is faking his elbow hurting again so he doesn't have to pitch at Fenway tonight because he was apparently going to be booed for the Eckersley thing, and I would like your thoughts on this funny rumor.

Chris Sale comes off like a big dumb kid in the ESPN magazine feature I read waiting to get a hair cut a couple days ago. Funny thing is that there was like a couple people asked were they surprised that he cut up that jersey and pretty much all of them said 'no, not at all.' Heh.
At least by that article, what Eck did/said seems pretty mild compared to some stuff I have seen other home announcers say.

Mel: What degree of moral turpitude do you assign the Red Sox for their electronic sign stealing? Do you believe that Farrell did not know it was happening? Dave Cameron: No way Farrell didn’t know. In terms of moral turpitude, they broke the rules, they knew they were breaking the rules, and they did it anyway, so there’s some guilt here, but as far as infractions go, this isn’t that big a deal. Sign stealing isn’t even against the rules. It’s just the method they used that is problematic.
Bork: Heyman thinks the Red Sox should forfeit all their wins against the Yankees this year. What’s your hot take on punishment for the Red Sox? Dave Cameron: They should be forced to connect to an internet that only has Jon Heyman columns on it.

Chris Sale just got to 300 strikeouts in 209.1 innings. I was going to ask if that was the fastest to 300 k in a season but no, at the very least it looks like Pedro would have him beat (he had 313 Ks in 213.1 IP in 1999, so I'm sure he got there faster...)
