RSNStats has been on Bluesky for about a year now. The live stream of stats during Red Sox games appeared there, as on X/Twitter and Mastodon, all throughout the 2024 season. Recently, Bluesky has heated up, with tons of new folks joining. I’ve been thrilled to be a part of that and to participate in […] The post Blue Skies appeared first on RSNStats .
I’m old enough to remember when the area around Fenway Park was pretty barren. There were a few nightclubs on Lansdowne. A McDonald’s and BK ... The post That Souvenir Sign on Lansdowne… appeared first on Surviving Grady .
It’s October. Which is awesome. Because October Baseball is happening. And everyone knows that October Baseball (always capitalized) is the best baseball. And Red Sox ... The post Me and October Baseball: A Love Story appeared first on Surviving Grady .
Every spring, at 0-0 before Opening Day, hope is the common denominator for all baseball teams. Hope that this will be the year. But the Red Sox didn’t start with reasonable expectations of going all the way in 2024. No doubt, there was hope in corners of Sox Nation, but Vegas oddsmakers back in February […] The post Sox season ends where it began appeared first on RSNStats .
Joe Castiglione’s voice was a gift. It was the sound of summer pouring out of your radio. It was hot dogs and sunshine and the ... The post Saying Goodbye to Joe Castiglione appeared first on Surviving Grady .
Among his many feats this year, Jarren Duran notched his first career 20/20 season, with 21 home runs and 34 stolen bases as of this writing. It is the first 20/20 Boston campaign since Mookie Betts in 2018 (32 home runs, 30 stolen bases). Duran is one of 19 Major Leaguers to reach a 20/20 […] The post Duran Sees 20/20 appeared first on RSNStats .
For a third straight year the Red Sox have been eliminated from postseason play. It happened Wednesday with a loss in the team’s final road game of the season. Boston was essentially out of the race much earlier, of course, in large measure due to a bizarrely long late-season offensive slump that kept them from […] The post Sox Eliminated, Again appeared first on RSNStats .
Yesterday, Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen made baseball history, becoming the first player to play for both teams in one game. Jansen was at bat ... The post Danny Jansen: the new Rick Aguilera? appeared first on Surviving Grady .
This time of year, as the runway of games left dwindles down, you especially rue the near-misses, the games that looked like wins but turned into losses. That was the case earlier this week when the Red Sox let a three-game sweep of the Rangers slip away in a back-and-forth affair that ended in a […] The post Close Shaves appeared first on RSNStats .
The Red Sox have announced their Spring Training slate for next season with the annual kickoff against the Northeastern University Huskies on Friday, February 21 at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Florida. The official spring slate, a total of 30 games, begins the next day with a road game against the Rays in Port Charlotte. […] The post Spring Ahead To 2025 appeared first on RSNStats .
After getting two wins in the series, the Red Sox had a chance to win all three games against the Rangers, but missed out on Wednesday, dropping the final game 9-7 in ten innings. It was another wasted starting effort for the Sox and particularly for Tanner Houck, who allowed two earned runs over 6.2 […] The post Red Sox Miss Chance at Sweep appeared first on RSNStats .
With a two-run, go-ahead blast for the American League, Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran earned Most Valuable Player honors at the All-Star Game. Duran, playing in his first-ever ASG, is just the fifth Sox player to be named MVP joining Hall of Famers Carl Yastrzemski (1970), Pedro Martinez (1999), as well as Roger Clemens (1986) […] The post Duran Named All-Star Game MVP appeared first on RSNStats .
Larry Lucchino, the former president of the Red Sox (2002-15), died on Tuesday at age 78. Lucchino, who once said he hoped his legacy would be that he “made a difference in the cities he lived in,” certainly lived up the claim. Across baseball tributes flowed in for the hard-charging baseball executive. So significant, it […] The post RIP Larry Lucchino appeared first on RSNStats .
When I visited Winter Weekend at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass. back in January, several fans I talked to said different versions of the same thing: the Boston Red Sox need to stop acting like a small market team. Since that weekend, the walls have been closing in on management. It’s not just the […] The post Boston Red Sox Offseason Grade appeared first on Off The Bench .
The Red Sox opened the 2024 regular season with a 10-game, west coast road trip starting with four games at the Seattle Mariners. After a win on Opening Day, they lost the next two games, but managed an Easter Sunday victory for a series split. Boston starting pitching was the highlight of the opening series. […] The post Red Sox Split Opening Series appeared first on RSNStats .
It’s silly season right now with the trade deadline little over a week away. In that spirit I have decided to write a beautiful work of science-fiction in which I am handed the reigns of this franchise for the time between now and the March 8 deadline. I have, as all good and benevolent overlords do, tried to be reasonable in terms of what the trades look like on balance. I am sure that every fan of the teams involved will say that I’m a moron and a fool who has suffered some kind of head trau...

Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The Fake Teams writers list a few arms to target for bullpen help in 2022. It’s tough to get excited about saves men, honestly. Even the ones you pay up for leave a bad taste in your mouth due to draft day cost. For my part, I’m typically trying to nab the guy who is the cheapest one (per ADP) with the closer’s role AND enough skills to hold said role. Last year, that was Raisel Iglesias. This year—well, you’ll have to read on, won’t you? ...
Penguins bettors might not have believed in jinxes before Tuesday, but they might now as Pittsburgh prepares to face the Bruins in Boston for a second consecutive time.
You knew this card was coming. Featured here is Mookie's 2020 Topps Now card celebrating his record tying feat last night. As you know, he hit three crushing home runs against the burgeoning Padres to tie a Major League record for three-homer games in a career at six (6) -- joining Johnny Mize and Sammy Sosa. With it still being so early in his career, Betts will no doubt break this record soon. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com : “Of course. I’m human,” said Betts. “But I work so hard, man, I ...
Hey baseball fans! Carl Yastrzemski is one of the greatest hitters in Red Sox history, but he was not the only star outfielder that graced the grass of Fenway in the 1960s. The Red Sox used to have a right-handed hitter by the name of Tony Conigliaro. Conigliaro was a great hitter for the first few years of his career, and looked to continue that trend deep into that 1967 "Impossible Dream" season for the BoSox. Then, in August of that season, tragedy struck. Tony Conigliaro debuted in B...
Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports Kevin Steele broke against type and tried to utilize a few different tricks, including one borrowed from Bill Belichik, to bust up Joe Moorhead’s option offense at Mississippi State. Instead Nick Fitzgerald ran wild and the option guru came out ahead. When Joe Moorhead first arrived at Penn State in 2016 after a nice four-year run at Fordham at the FCS level, the big breakthrough he brought to the Lions was in the vertical passing game. Penn State loved going de...

Fine fine win last night against the blind/deaf school. VaZQuez with a huge 3-run half dong, and two other hits, that guy knows what he's doing out there. I won't say anything about the Rish/Lyons announcing combo because there's just not enough time. That play by Badenhop was incredible, wish they'd given it more credit. I didn't stay up for the post-game but hopefully they played it a million more times at full and half speed and notified the WebGems department if that exists. (Okay I jus...
