Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
It’s not even March, but today’s game is an example of why I couldn’t fully buy in on this Red Sox roster. Starting pitching is great, but when the offense can’t support it, you’re always in danger of one swing changing the game. Connelly Early pitched well, although it wasn’t a dominant performance, but his […]
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]
Rhett Lowder returns to the mound for the Cincinnati Reds for the first time after his lost 2025 season, and does so with a series victory over the Boston Red Sox on the line. First pitch is slated for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony […]
It’s the rubber match of the opening series of the season. Connelly Early makes his first start of the season against Rhett Lowder, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2024. Both bullpens are spent after a long game yesterday, so getting to the bullpen early should favor the offense. Masataka Yoshida makes his first […]
The Cincinnati Reds got their first win of the 2026 on Saturday, and it came in dramatic fashion. Dane Myers laced a liner into LF in the Bottom of the 11th, and that was deep enough for TJ Friedl to race home from 2B ahead of the throw in from Boston Red Sox star Roman […]
11am CT on ESPN2. Two extra inning walk-off wins in a row, and we’ve clinched the series against The Franzia Funnelers. Friday’s was a 10 inning Johntone the Elder winner, but Saturday’s… Saturday damn near never ended. After both Nadeau and Mack dueled through 3 scoreless frames, the dam finally broke in the bottom of […]
The Red Sox still don’t seem to have a long-term plan for what to do with the five outfielders they have for four outfield/DH spots, to say nothing of what happens when Triston Casas enters the DH picture. But they do have a short-term plan. Alex Cora announced that, starting today, Masataka Yoshida would play […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Now that we’re getting back into the swing of the regular season, it’s time to find out what everyone’s favorite highlights of the week were! I am, once again, at a distinct disadvantage because as of the time this is being written there has only been one game played this week, […]
Zigs and Zags The game had a ton of drama and resisted easy definitions. It wasn’t that the teams traded leads back and forth—the Sox never led, in fact—but every time I thought I had a handle on the direction of the game, a big moment occurred to completely erase that thought. For example, the […]
There was ample action in Great American Ball Park on Saturday, and the end result was a 6-5 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Boston Red Sox. Dane Myers swatted a single over the shortstop – a replacement shortstop, I should add – in the Bottom of the 11th inning for his first hit, […]
Let’s face it: Thursday’s Opening Day win was too easy. Too stress-free. The Mets aren’t really, truly back until they have a game that makes you question all the life choices that led to you deciding to spend three precious hours of your day watching them. Well, you best believe it: the Mets are officially […]
Sonny Gray returns to Great American Ball Park to face his former team as the Cincinnati Reds play host to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony – LF TJ Friedl – CF Trevor Story – SS Matt McLain – 2B Jarren […]
What to Watch for Today Red Sox Nation got a little taste of baseball on Opening Day, immediately followed by an oddly scheduled off-day. Due to the severe weather in Cincinnati, the game likely would have been postponed anyway so the Red Sox come out ahead with no disruptions to the schedule. Things are going […]
It was January of 2019 when the Cincinnati Reds sent prospect Shed Long and a Competitive Balance pick to the New York Yankees to acquire right-hander Sonny Gray, the former Oakland A’s ace and 2015 All Star. He had struggled mightily since landing in the Bronx, yet Cincinnati pitching guru Derek Johnson – who had […]
With April in the D inching closer and closer, it feels like a good time to discuss what the best month of the sports calendar is. Soon, we will have a lot going on in the world of sports. March Madness will be in full swing, the Detroit Tigers will be kicking off a season […]
The Boston Red Sox did not play baseball last night, or even yesterday afternoon. But, never fear! About 60 miles west, in New England’s second biggest city and home of the gravesite of the guy who invented the smiley face, several players with MLB service time and some with some more service time certain to […]
WORCESTER, Mass. – Roger Clemens arrived as the Guest of Honor for WooSox Opening Day with core memories of the 40th anniversary of a special season. The 1986 campaign started a run of over two decades in the majors as one of the best starting pitchers in the sport. From learning from Hall of Famer […]
Cristopher Sanchez was phenomenal during Thursday’s season opener against Texas. Seeing him put up six innings of shutout baseball is more and more becoming the normal expectation for a start of his, a mark of not only an exceptional player development success, but also the work put in by Sanchez to get to that point. […]
WORCESTER, Mass. – The Boston Red Sox paid Kristian Campbell early last April because the organization believed in the 2023 fourth-rounder after his meteoric minor league rise. His MLB experiment came crashing down after just 11 weeks in the show last season. Campbell struggled defensively at second base and hit just .223 in 67 games. […]
Is Roman Anthony already the leader of the Red Sox? The entire world already treats him as the club’s best player, and he backed that up with three hits and a walk on the first Opening Day start of his career. But the 21-year-old isn’t just leading the team on the field. “Even though it’s […]
Good morning! Yesterday was a legitimately nice spring day in New England and the Boston Red Sox won a real baseball game. Life isn’t one hopeless gauntlet of pain after all! As baseball fans, we’re not supposed to overreact to one game. But overreacting is fun. So let’s hear what knee jerk conclusions you’ve drawn […]
The Yankees got to take their first off-day of the year easy after demolishing the Giants on Opening Day, watching as the rest of the league got to take a shot at getting in the win column. In the AL East, everyone but Toronto jumped into action with the O’s and Sox winning to form […]
Welcome back baseball, indeed! On an absolutely GLORIOUS day in Cincinnati, the Red Sox took down the Reds by a final score of 3-0. This box score somehow feels earned despite the way the game went? Let me explain. The Red Sox offense got the better of Andrew Abbott but couldn’t push a run across […]
The Cincinnati Reds got a rock solid start by Andrew Abbott in his first career start on Opening Day. The left-handed All Star fired 6.0 IP of scoreless ball, but the problem was that the Boston Red Sox similarly had an All Star lefty on the mound in Garrett Crochet. Crochet kept Cincinnati just as […]
Here are the entries for this year's W-L contest : W-L TEAM ERA Paul H. 95-67 3.57 Benjamin B. 95-67 3.66 Rich G. 93-69 3.57 Jacob L. 92-70 3.43 Brett H. 92-70 3.45 Allan W. 92-70 3.75 Jeff M. 91-71 3.70 Eddie N. 90-72 3.69 Dave I. 90-72 3.90 Warren S. 90-72 4.50 Michael G. 87-75 3.62 There has almost always been a decent amount of optimism when it comes to the predictions. I note, however, that the Red Sox have not won 90+ games since 2021 (when they went 92-70 and lost the ALCS (2-4) to Hous...
