Today in OTM History<\/p>\n
2021: Eduardo Rodriguez is giving up too many hits; This ended up being a problem all year. Eddie hasnt pitched to his expectations this year, either.<\/p>\n
2020: Underrated players from the 2007 championship team; That whole team in general is underrated.<\/p>\n
2018: Who the mock drafts have the Red Sox taking; Nobody had Triston Casas as the pick. Id say its worked out.<\/p>\n
2017: Hector Velzquez struggles in his major-league debut; Hed turn things around and be a solid swingman for a few years.<\/p>\n
2016: Time to give Rusney Castillo one more chance; It did come a couple weeks later, but that was his last one and it only lasted about a week.<\/p>\n
2015: Is it time for Rusney Castillo?; Weird timing!<\/p>\n
2014: Third base trade targets for the Red Sox; Number one? Pablo Sandoval...<\/p>\n
2008: Jon Lester throws a no-hitter just two years after recovering from lymphoma. Its the fourth no-hitter caught by Jason Varitek.<\/p>\n
1976: Carl Yastrzemski, for the first and ultimately only time in his career, hits three home runs in one game.<\/p>\n
1941: Lefty Grove breaks a major-league record by winning his 20th consecutive Fenway start.<\/p>\n
1933: Red Sox catcher Rick Ferrell homered against his brother Wes, who hit a home run of his own a few innings later. It is the first time in league history two brothers on opposite teams homered in the same game.<\/p>\n
Happy 26th birthday to Connor Wong, who is currently the teams third catcher and is likely not far away from getting an extended chance as at least the backup catcher.<\/p>\n
