Well I guess that was technically better? Maybe the very nature of an awful start makes the pickings pretty slim, but we gotta take whatever we can get at this point, right? Dropping the set to Tampa obviously stings, but that was still a 4-2 record this week. That’s……………..improvement, I suppose. Even if the bar […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the eleventh day of Mays-mas, I thought […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Hope you enjoyed your weekend—shout out to all of the mothers out there. The Red Sox do not have a game tonight! They’re gonna be playing the Philadelphia Phillies next, but that series will begin on Tuesday. So, we’ve got ourselves a good ol’ fashioned off night tonight. My question […]
Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford scored much more than the game-winning goal for FC Barcelona today. Nine minutes in, Rashford achieved a scoring strike that proved to be the decisive blow for the La Liga title race. Ferran Torres added another goal, nine minutes in, and Barcelona beat Real Madrid, at the Camp Nou, to […]

Though things looked precarious for a moment there, but the Davis Martin Hype Train choo-choos on! In the first inning, it looked as if the 29-year-old’s magical run to start this interesting 2026 campaign might finally be at its end. Martin struggled to put hitters away early, letting in a run in the first inning […]
Coming off the first sweep of the season, the Red Sox seemed to have some momentum and a chance to win over some fans with a home series against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the Rays’ roster isn’t full of superstars, they’ve played really good baseball over the first month of the season, making them […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in DRBland. The Rays were in Boston, where everyone was wearing a touch of pink to wrap up the weekend series. The Rays were first in the AL East by a wee little percentage point and hoping to push ahead and claim it properly this week. To deal […]
Sometimes the universe — and especially the baseball universe — just lines things up in beautiful, unexpected ways. Today, Payton Tolle is starting on Mother’s Day because the most powerful mother of all — Mother Nature — decided the Red Sox and Rays weren’t going to play their game yesterday when Tolle was originally schedule […]
Mookie Betts singled and walked in his second and likely final rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and played six innings at shortstop. He advanced from first to third base twice after reaching base on Saturday. In two games with Oklahoma City, Betts had two singles and a walk in his six trips to the […]
With all of the consternation about Greg Weissert’s performance lately, it’s worth remembering that he’s not supposed to be a high-leverage reliever. But the mercurial nature of bullpens means that the Red Sox frequently have no choice but to use pitchers who don’t inspire the utmost confidence. But at least the Sox can now knock […]

UPDATE: The game has been postponed and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on July 17. This may be stating the obvious, but weather will be a factor in this game, folks. (It’s sunny here in Seattle!) The Sox and Rays will either play through some serious bouts of rain this […]
Weather will play a factor this afternoon at Fenway Park as the Rays and Red Sox try to play game three of a four game game set at 4:10pm. As of 12:30pm, the game is still on per Chris Cotillo: However, the outlook does not look promising. Below is a simulated radar from the HRRR […]
Worcester: W, 8-3 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox shot out to an early lead with two homers from Tsung-Che Cheng and Nick Sogard, each their respective fourth home runs of 2026, and also enjoyed a three-hit night from their catcher and eight-hole hitter, MLB veteran Jason Delay. Iggy Suarez masterfully weaved through the game using six […]
Friday in the Dodgers minors featured two rehabbing major leaguers, a doubleheader split, and a wild comeback for naught. Player of the day Tyler Fitzgerald hit his first two home runs since joining the Dodgers organization, including a game-tying grand slam with one out in the ninth inning for Oklahoma City. Fitzgerald, acquired from the […]
The Yankees opened their series with the Brewers on a low-note, getting shutout by Jacob Misiorowski for six innings while Max Fried dropped his worst start of the season on the other side. Unfortunately, Spencer Jones’ MLB debut was overshadowed by the team at large struggling on Friday, collecting just three hits on the night. […]
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Chris and Brian discuss if the two series wins in a row really change anything for the Mets. Roster discussions lead to schedule discussions, and optimism and realism come head to head. Chris’s Music Pick: […]
The date is October 2, 1978. With the Yankees down two in the seventh and two runners on, a light-hitting shortstop steps to the plate at Fenway Park. After fouling a ball off his foot, he turns on one. Deep to left! Yastrzemski will not get it, it’s a home run! A three-run home run […]

The Rays had an early opening against Connelly Early. Yes, the pun was sitting right there, and unfortunately so were three Tampa Bay baserunners in the third inning that got stranded on the best opportunity to score a run Friday night. Tampa Bay opened quietly against Early. Yandy Díaz struck out after an ABS challenge […]
Let’s do a little dive into what I think was the most important frame of the entire ballgame. Top of the third inning, things could have gone off the rails and fast. Nick Fortes leads off with an infield single—advancing to second on a balk by Connelly Early. Taylor Walls loops a single to left […]

Four Red Sox prospects were included in Baseball America’s latest top 100 rankings. Justin Gonzales was not among them, but there is reason to believe that the 19-year-old outfielder is not too far behind. Baseball America’s Josh Norris recently identified Gonzales as one of five “MLB prospects who could join the top 100 soon,” citing … Continue reading "Justin Gonzales could be next Red Sox prospect to crack Baseball America’s top 100"
