It’s becoming increasingly perplexing how different Brayan Bello looks depending on his role.As a traditional starter, the right-hander has struggled mightily this season.
I have such a hard time with this loss because it’s a close one. Having lost six of their last seven, I almost would have preferred a 4-0 shutout and that was that. To score three in the fifth inning gave me way too much hope (still not a lot but more than none) that […]
Great; another opener in front of Brayan Bello. The Guardians lead the AL Central while the Sox slipped right back into fifth place. Who’s looking for a fun weekend?! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:10pm EDT — Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
When the Red Sox fired Alex Cora, it wasn’t the record that sealed his fate. Boston had reshaped its financial identity over the past three years, losing its big-market tactics despite having the payroll to support them. The firing was “a culmination of misalignment that predates the current front office,” as CBS Sports reported. Cora […]

If the Boston Red Sox decide to blow it up and address their outfield surplus, these Jarren Duran landing spots could work wonders.
After another losing homestand the Red Sox thankfully head on the road, where they can win. Welcome to Cleveland. First place in the AL Central, the Guardians are 33-25 on the season. They’re three game in front of the Chicago White Sox. Not a typo. You were expecting the Detroit Tigers? They’re sitting at 22-35. […]
Are you accurately pricing in risk?

They don’t hand out MVP awards for the NLDS. But I believe the most valuable player in the Phillies’ playoff series against the Dodgers in 2025 was Roki Sasaki. After dominating in the Japanese Pacific League in 2024, the Phillies pursued the young pitcher. But the appeal of playing on the west coast with countryman […]
Worcester Red Sox 1, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 0 (BOX) Jack Anderson has had his ups and downs throughout this season, even making a stop in Boston for a few days back in April. Thursday night was one of those “ups”, striking out eight batters and allowing just one hit over 4 2/3 innings. That would be […]
The Kyle Harrison trade should be the move that seals Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow's future.
The Brayan Bello Experience is turning into a complicated one in Boston on numerous levels. In the short-term, it’s unclear whether he should start or enter the game behind an “Opener.” In the season-long term, it’s unclear if he should be in the starting rotation or the bullpen. In the long, long term, it’s unclear […]
The Atlanta Braves were firing on all cylinders as they collected a series win after Thursday’s 10-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Chris Sale was solid, throwing five innings of two-run ball. He issued three walks and struck out eight. Ronald Acuña Jr. showed a major sign of life and launched a grand slam […]
The Boston Red Sox are a tough watch. I don’t think we’re breaking news with that statement, but the truth became impossible to ignore after their debacle of a series against the Minnesota Twins over Memorial Day Weekend. Justin Slaten, who had quite literally been perfect to that point, ruined what was an impressive start […]

After a rare disappointing series (against the Washington Nationals, no less), the Atlanta Braves had no choice but to lick their wounds and keep it pushing against their traditional (league-mandated) interleague rivals in the form of the Boston Red Sox. Considering that the top of the rotation was going to be in action, there was […]
We, the spoiled denizens of Braves Country, have made our displeasure known about the recent offensive outages. Some of it warranted (dropping a series to the Nats at home). We may have said things we regret. I’m taking your Ronald Acuña Jr. apology forms riiight here. The Braves will finish 4-2 against the Red Sox […]
The Red Sox just absolutely refuse to learn their lesson… If you’re wondering exactly which lesson we’re talking about, go ahead and read that headline again and take a little trip to our “DUDS” section below: STUDS Payton Tolle and Chris Sale: I’d be hard pressed to say they lived up to the hype, especially […]

MLB fans looking for teams to follow during the 2026 NCAA baseball tournament will surely want to keep their eyes on the squads with the best draft prospects.
Anyone in the mood for some good injury news? While he still has yet to face living pitching, Roman Anthony is finally swinging a bat without pain the injured hand that has kept him out for most of this month. Granted, these are “dry swings,” which are every bit as fun and exciting as dry […]
Worcester: W, 8-1 (BOX SCORE) Jake Bennett’s five-inning start proved yet again that he could be a good spot starter, if for no other reason than to gauge future value as this team may find itself firmly in selling territory as 2026 grows older. Wednesday morning’s start against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA) was another […]
Pokemon card king and staff ace Chris Sale will take the mound for the Braves as they seek a second series win (and avoid a second consecutive series loss) over the Boston Red Sox. Sale (7-3, 1.89 ERA) checked off a box with his first win over Miami his last time out, striking out eight […]
