It just hasn't been the ideal season for the Boston Red Sox to start the year, and at some point, there's going to be some heat on this organization. 

Sitting at 2-7 and losing two of three against the San Diego Padres, the heat is starting to rise a bit. Frankly, the Red Sox haven't been able to do anything on either side of the baseball, but their offensive showings just haven't been ideal in certain parts of the early season.

When speaking to reporters about it, guys are trying to keep a positive mind, including youngster Roman Anthony, who, despite being one of the better young players in baseball, hasn't exactly played as well as he was hoping for to start this season.

“This is just a tough stretch… We need to find a way to just bring more energy and just be better. This is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable to the fans. It’s unacceptable to the standard that we set for ourselves.”

On the one hand, this almost feels like something the Red Sox have dealt with over the past two years now. To say this hasn't been an issue in Boston would be a flat out lie. However, it's also important to remember that we're only nine games into a season. I understand that some Red Sox fans have been thinking about prior seasons and believe this has the possibility of shaping up into being bad, but I'm not ready to press the panic button just yet. If this continues for another couple of weeks and goes into May, I think it's a different story at that point.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
