@gfstarr1.bsky.socialCaleb Durbin went into his first Red Sox season wanting to prove himself a 'Dirt Dog' like his hero, Dustin Pedroia.
He did so, playing through a pinky injury for over three months before finally undergoing offseason surgery. www.bostonherald.com/2026/10/11/r...

@maccerullo.bsky.socialReposted by @gfstarr1.bsky.socialWas the 2026 Red Sox season a success? And what's the club's best path forward heading into an uncertain offseason? @gfstarr1.bsky.social and I discussed all that and more.
@rsnstats.comReposted by @gfstarr1.bsky.socialIn a humiliating ALWC series writes @gfstarr1.bsky.social, #RedSox rookie Chad Tracy managed both games not like the must-wins they were, but like Triple-A games, where player development is the real goal and victories are simply a nice bonus.
@gfstarr1.bsky.social“I just hope that they’re learning from me what it takes for the little guy to get up to here and play his heart out,” Mickey Gasper told me in May.
He underwent surgery today, after a year in which he truly played his heart out and made a difference for the Red Sox:

@gfstarr1.bsky.socialThe Red Sox and Cubs are bracing for a 'strange' weekend series to wrap up the regular season.
Here's the latest on how the nor'easter is impacting the game schedule: www.bostonherald.com/2026/09/25/r...
@gfstarr1.bsky.social"Just an unbelievably intense but even-keeled leader."
"A real calming influence."
Members of the Red Sox on why Chad Tracy is the right man to manage:

@gfstarr1.bsky.socialIf you think what I wrote "diminished the team," I'll just have to live with your disappointment. It'll be hard, but I'll find a way.
@gfstarr1.bsky.socialLess than 48 hours after clinching a playoff spot, the Red Sox have more to celebrate.

@gfstarr1.bsky.socialOn September 20, 1967, Carl Yastrzemski homered and scored the go-ahead run to keep the 'Impossible Dream' Red Sox tied for first in a tight pennant race.
Exactly 59 years later, his grandson's go-ahead HR sent the Red Sox to the postseason.

@gfstarr1.bsky.socialEntering the Yankees series at Fenway on June 25, the Red Sox were 32-46 and in last place in the AL East.
On Sunday, they became the fourth team in MLB history to go from being as many as 14 games under .500 to clinching a playoff spot in the same season.

@bostonherald.comReposted by @gfstarr1.bsky.socialThe Red Sox will almost certainly be without one of their top relievers for the remainder of the regular season and any potential postseason games.
@gfstarr1.bsky.social"We were operating and moving forward, planning on having to operate without him; this maybe adds some finality."
The Red Sox own MLB's best relief ERA (3.11).
They've also likely lost one of their best bullpen arms for the rest of the year:

@gfstarr1.bsky.socialThe Red Sox took 'Never say die' to another level Thursday, clawing their way back from FIVE deficits in 13 innings to complete a sweep of the White Sox.
“We didn’t think anything of it,” said walk-off hero Caleb Durbin. “We’re just gonna fight ’til the end.”

@gfstarr1.bsky.socialErik Miller got a glowing scouting report on his new teammates while he sat in the Red Sox bullpen tonight.
Then he watched it unfold in real time.
“It’s a bad day to be the other team’s pitchers. That’s what they said, and they weren’t wrong.”
