The Red Sox don’t need any help losing baseball games right now, as they can do plenty well at that on their own with the way they are playing. The umpire still helped them out on Wednesday though, blowing an easy ball four call that would have led to a run, instead calling it a strike to end the inning. Kevin Plawecki and co. were, uh, not happy. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)

Alex Cora, Kevin Plawecki Ejected For Arguing Balls And Strikes

Alex Cora and Kevin Plawecki were not long for Wednesday night’s matchup with the Atlanta Braves.

Kevin Plawecki Shows NESN’s Jamai Webster How PitchCom Works

PitchCom is taking over Major League Baseball in 2022. The new system to avoid sign-stealing in MLB has been utilized by more and more pitchers as the season has gone on.
