Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Is it on TV? No! What a crock! We’re all stuck at home under a foot and a half of snow and we can’t even get some spring training baseball to keep us emotionally warm. Listen to it on WEEI, sickos. What’s the lineup? What should we watch listen for? The pop of the mitt […]
Let’s seize the means of production the coveted Grapefruit League title No TV covereage today, but the game can be heard through the radio. First pitch is 1:05 against the Boston Red Sox at Charlotte Sports Park.
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Hope you’re not totally snowed in today. If you are, maybe the joy of an Olympic men’s hockey gold medal yesterday can help lift your spirits. Or maybe an Arsenal 4-1 win over Spurs can. Or maybe something else can, I dunno. A question for you, dear readers: how we […]
For generations the leadoff hitter was easy for a manger to identify: A fast guy. A slap hitter. Someone who could be the “spark plug.” Then you stick another guy as the table setter in the second spot. Probably your best hitter third. And your power guy at the four spot. And in some ways […]
Last week all four pro tournaments in the United States were won by Americans; this year it was just the ATP 250 in Delray Beach that featured a champion from the United States, with the four other tournaments going to international players.Sixteen-year-old Kristina Liutova, who was born in Moscow but has lived in the United States for many years, captured her first pro title, beating wild card
It’s not often you get saved by the Bell twice with a few minutes, but it happened to Mike Vasil and White Sox this afternoon and made it possible for a come-from-slightly-behind victory. The third win of the spring wasn’t as definitive as the first two, and it was as much the result of Milwaukee […]
Blue Jays 10 Red Sox 11 Of course, batters are ahead of pitchers early in spring training. Lots of scoring. Pitching: On offense, the starters: Others: Now we are 1-1 this spring.
Game two of the spring schedule. I was up early and at the bar for the hockey, and that is all I’m saying about it. Though beer at 6:00 in the morning is surprisingly good. The Jays have Fernando Perez as the starting pitcher. He was good in Vancouver last year, 3.05 ERA in 20 […]
Can the US stick it to Canada twice today? We’ll find out! First pitch at 1:05 PM. Is it on TV? You bet! NESN is three-for-three so far in the spring. Give it up for cable television, ladies and gentlemen. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? As Alex Cora himself said, this is […]
The Red Sox are entering 2026 coming off a lot of highs. Some lows, but a lot of really exciting performances, including by many, many outfielders. Like those playing center field. With one player in particular expected to claim the vast majority of the playing time. The Starter: Ceddanne “Nuf Cedd” Rafaela Ok, this isn’t […]
The games are underway, Mike Yastrzemski got off to a great start and Chris Sale will be on the mound tomorrow. Life is pretty good. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:

Is it on TV? Yup, this one’s on NESN again. First pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch out for? There’s a lot to pick from in this one. Payton Tolle will be must-watch all spring, though no one should read too much into his performance this early on. With the […]
Good morning! The Red Sox will play actual Major League competition today. We’re getting there, even if the weather outside doesn’t exactly look like baseball season. For today’s question we’re looking for some optimism: Which Red Sox player will take a leap this year? There are a number of candidates, thanks to the plethora of […]
It’s pitching preview time, ladies and gentlemen. Over the next several days, I’ll be writing 10,000 words or so about everyone you might see pitching for the Red Sox to start the season. I’ve put the team’s starting options into tiers because that’s how my brain works. Don’t think of them as rankings, but rather […]
Is the game on TV? Yes! This is one that NESN never misses. Check it out at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? From an on-field perspective, the most interesting thing here is Kristian Campbell in centerfield, by far. But that’s not what today is about. Today is about looking away […]
Good morning! The Red Sox will play an honest-to-god baseball game today, as Spring Training is finally under way. So my question to you today is: what are you watching for in Spring Training? For fans, Spring Training tends to be about two things: the new guys and the rookies. But in the case of […]
Every spring, baseball hands us a fresh stack of reasons to believe. The weather is warm, the innings are low-stakes, and everyone is in the best shape of their life. So when Heston Kjerstad steps into the box at Ed Smith Stadium and rockets a home run off a live-arm pitcher, the correct response is […]

As teams reported for spring training, the injury news around the league came in fast and furiously last week. From pitchers who dealt with arm injuries in 2025 and did not have them repaired in the offseason — like Pablo Lopez, Blake Snell, Shane Bieber, and Josh Hader, being eased into the preseason — to […]
The Cincinnati Reds will open their 2026 season on March 26th in Great American Ball Park with the Boston Red Sox in town. Cincinnati’s Cactus League slate at their home in Goodyear, Arizona will begin this Saturday, February 21st, with the Cleveland Guardians both their home complex compatriots and opponents for the day. With competitive […]
As Spring Training kicks into second gear, we have our first game of the season to look forward to on Saturday. It will be our first glimpse of the arms, the bats, and the gloves that our hopes and dreams this season will rest upon…but no pressure guys. There has been a flurry of ‘minor […]
There was a long stretch of Red Sox history in which you could roll into spring training and write down the guy who would dominate the DH position in permanent ink. For 14 years from 2003 through 2016, it belonged to David Ortiz. Then, after he retired and the Sox tried Hanley Ramirez there for […]
