Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
The Red Sox had another installment of regularly-scheduled programming: the pitching staff gives them a chance to win and the offense offers another lifeless performance. Boston scored just one run in the eighth inning and could not match Philadelphia in the 3-1 loss. Kyle Schwarber changed the game with one swing to move Philadelphia to […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox send their main pitching acquisition to the mound in search of a series win (weather permitting) Thursday night. Ranger Suarez faces the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time. He also makes his first start since leaving his last outing with hamstring tightness on May 3 […]
The Phillies wrap up the series against a former friend. Here are the lineups, let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox:
Starting pitching has not been the Red Sox problem in 2026. And with Payton Tolle performing well and Brayan Bello possibly bouncing back thanks to the use of an opener, the staff has more than held its own in the absence of Garrett Crochet. But Crochet isn’t taking any chances. Yesterday, he completed his first […]
Worcester: W, 6-2 (BOX SCORE) Although the WooSox again had to go to a bullpen game, nearly everyone pitched well and kept the Bison (Blue Jays AAA) off the board. Worcester then subjected Buffalo to death by a thousand cuts, as all nine of their hits were singles, but a good third inning where they […]
The day is finally upon us. Many resigned themselves to the fact that when Ranger Suárez left in free agency over the winter, there would come a day in which he would be facing the Phillies. Suárez signing with the American League Boston Red Sox lessened that possibility, but the day has come, nevertheless. Suárez […]
It’s not unusual for a head coach on the hot seat to say he isn’t worried about his job. And it’s not unusual for upper management and sporting directors to mumble supportive things about such a head coach. Yet despite Liverpool’s massively disappointing 2025-26 season, that the club look tired and without a tactical identity […]
On Tuesday, radio ratings connoisseur Mike Felger dropped this whopper as it pertains to Mike Trout and the Red Sox: The best part of the clip comes right in the middle, when Felger rattles off the reasons his slippery source believes a blockbuster trade of this magnitude is possible. All are significant enough for a […]
Below is a loop of this morning’s HRRR weather model simulating conditions over the northeast U.S. between Noon and Midnight: As you can see, there’s going to be a strong southerly fetch of moisture off the Atlantic into eastern New England for several hours during the afternoon and early evening. However, around sunset, the orientation […]
The Blue Jays beat the rays tonight, walking off in the bottom of the tenth inning thanks to a grand slam homer. Winning this game felt like a tough challenge even before the game started. Apart from a poor start against the Red Sox, the Blue Jay’s Dylan Cease has been very effective. And the […]
After squeezing out a tight 2-1 win over the Red Sox in game one of this series, it was Boston’s turn to win on the margins. Trevor Story led the way with two fantastic plays in the 5-6 hole to prevent hits and he took Painter deep on a middle-middle sinker. Ceddanne Rafaela hit the […]
The Red Sox won a baseball game in which they didn’t obtain an early lead!!!! If you want to learn more, continue reading! STUDS Willson Contreras: I’ve always been a fan of dudes who play good defense and hit, which isn’t exactly shocking information but there haven’t been very many of them around these parts […]
Here are the lineups for tonight’s game in Boston, let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox:
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox and Phillies will tell us a lot about themselves during Wednesday’s matchup at Fenway Park. Boston and Philadelphia both notably fired their managers three weeks ago, with the former treading water (7-7) since dismissing Alex Cora in favor of Chad Tracy, while the latter has […]
Max Fried only lasted three innings on Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore, indeed seeming to take himself out of the game after the third frame. Down 3-0, the lefty immediately went down the tunnel followed by members of the training staff, and pitching coach Matt Blake tapped Paul Blackburn to come in for longman’s work. Fried […]
Last year, Dan and I recorded a pre-season podcast where we drafted spots for a Red Sox Bingo card that we never ended up making. I never ended up making. It was me. Despite that, we recorded a pre-season podcast this year where we drafted spots for a Red Sox Bingo card that I never […]
Were you excited about the ABS challenge system at the start of the season? Did you think Craig Breslow’s “pitching and defense team” would be taking advantage of a new tool to help them reach the playoffs again? Well, so far challenges aren’t really a Red Sox thing. Whether this was an Alex Cora decision […]
Worcester: L, 2-7 (BOX SCORE) As has often been the case due to the fact that so many of their Opening Day rotation members are now pitching in Boston, the WooSox ran into some early trouble and it didn’t get any better as the night went on. Raymond Burgos gave up three early runs (though […]
Morning, all! Nathan Eovaldi is day-to-day after being scratched from his start Monday with left side tightness, and it is unknown if he will be able to make his next scheduled start. Wyatt Langford remains in injury limbo and hasn’t swung a bat since his rehab was paused two weeks ago. Skip Schumaker shuffled the […]
Pitching injuries happen. They have always happened, and they always will happen. That’s why when someone says “there’s no such thing as too much pitching”, they’re correct, regardless of how much pitching that team actually has. You could have a rotation of prime Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, Pedro Martinez, Cy Young, and Randy Johnson, and […]
Good morning! The Boston Red Sox have scored just four runs in their last three games. It is now abundantly clear that this is not a good offensive team. Moreover, it won’t be a good offensive team even if we see a little bit of a bounce back from Trevor Story, Caleb Durbin, Carlos Narvaez, […]
For some reason, I’m not anywhere near as angry as I should be after another loss in which the Red Sox lineup looked like it was reenacting something out of the Deadball Era. Tonight, some of the highlights lowlights included: But do you know what surprised me the most about tonight? The Red Sox almost […]
It’s hard to believe that Zack Wheeler was a major question mark less than a month ago. At least for now, he looked like the Zack Wheeler of old as he went 7.1 innings against the Red Sox while allowing one run on just 87 pitches in a 2-1 win. Kyle Schwarber tied the Phillies […]
One of the old adages in Major League Baseball is that all teams win a third of their games, all teams lose a third of their games, and it’s that middle third that separates pretenders from the contenders. Well, let’s just say that on paper, this is one of the games that looks like a […]
Expunge just about everything from the baseball that was played last week, and the Cincinnati Reds might end up just fine. They are, after all, still 22-19 on the season, 3 games over the .500 mark though 41 games and still very much in a half-decent position despite finding themselves buried in the run differential […]
