Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 10/10/25

This game meant nothing and didn't show us much.  Brown and White sat out and all of the Raptors starters sat out.  The Celtics built a 26 point lead while their starters played but the end of the bench guys couldn't hold it and staged a basketball giveaway in the 4th quarter.  It was an entertaining game and I'm liking what I see from Garza, Minott, Boucher and Gonzalez.  I liked how much they still like Boucher.  And love that they think of Pritchard as a Raptors Kil...

Red Sox trade additions Joe Vogatsky, Matt McShane show early returns in pro debuts after coming over from Pirates

In the span of a few weeks last winter, the Red Sox made two separate, yet similar trades with the Pirates. On December 15, the Red Sox acquired minor league right-hander Joe Vogatsky from the Pirates for then-recently DFA’d infielder/outfielder Enmanuel Valdez. A little more than a month passed before the two sides matched up … Continue reading "Red Sox trade additions Joe Vogatsky, Matt McShane show early returns in pro debuts after coming over from Pirates"

How did Red Sox pitching prospect Jose Bello (part of return for Rafael Devers) fare after trade?

After writing about James Tibbs III over the weekend, it feels like an appropriate time to examine how the other prospect the Red Sox acquired from the Giants in the Rafael Devers trade — Jose Bello — fared in the wake of the blockbuster deal being made in June. Unlike Tibbs, Bello was not subsequently … Continue reading "How did Red Sox pitching prospect Jose Bello (part of return for Rafael Devers) fare after trade?"

Facing facts, Breslow warns against Sox complacency

Count me pleasantly surprised by a little accountability, finally, from the Red Sox front office. In the annual end-of-season press conference on Monday, Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, while proud to have reached the postseason, was also clear about the team’s shortcomings. Breslow said that for a deeper drive into the postseason, the […] The post Facing facts, Breslow warns against Sox complacency appeared first on RSNStats .

How trio of prospects traded by Red Sox at deadline fared with new teams

Ahead of the July 31 trade deadline earlier this summer, the Red Sox made deals for two impending free agents in an effort to bolster their pitching staff for the stretch run. In doing so, they parted ways with a trio of top prospects who had already reached the upper levels of their system. This … Continue reading "How trio of prospects traded by Red Sox at deadline fared with new teams"

ALWC 3: Yankees 4, Red Sox 0

Red Sox - 000 000 000 - 0  5  2 Yankees - 000 400 00x - 4  8  1 "I guess the Yankees are bound to beat us in the playoffs every 22 years or so."  – Petagine in a Bottle (SoSH) Cam Schlittler's pitching performance (8-5-0-0-12, 107) was the only story worth telling from the Yankees' 4-0 win in the deciding game of the ALWC series. Schlittler spent his evening steadily – and seemingly without effort – firing fastballs at 100/101. He spotted his pitches extremel...

Game 2 was packed with no less tension, elation, anxiety, relief, and terror as Tuesday's opener.  Boston manager Alex Cora stayed with starter Brayan Bello for only 28 pitches and ended up using six bullpen arms. The Yankees slipped home a run against Garrett Whitlock in the eighth and ...

That explosive hustle (which Sogard had shown back in the third when he tagged and took second on a fly to center) put Boston runners at second and third, with one out. Pinch-hitter Masataka Yoshida singled to center on the first pitch he saw. Two runs scored and the Yankees' 1-0 lead was gone. That ...

Monday Quickie - Season Wrap

So if you want to know what we guessed in wins it's here .  I had them at 71.  The group leaned into a bit higher but the winner in the clubhouse would be Matt with "high 60s"  Not quite! We all lose by Price is Right rules.  We'll spend the week going over the season (promise!) but the general tone of it was one of disappointment and now a bit of concern.  The team is in the midst of a rebuild but also starting over with a new GM and new manager and that could easily ...

Monday Quickie - What's wrong?

 ok yes everything but nothing has gone right for this squad since early June.  At one point they were 30-33, then went on a 20-53 stretch.  The last 5-1 brings it up to 25-54 which is just over a 50 win pace for a season. Yikes.  You can't blame the firings - Davey and Rizzo were gone in the middle of this. You can't blame the trade deadline. Yeah it made the team weaker but they aren't losing squeakers because of a weakened pen.  Here are some 2nd half splits  B...
