Here’s a pair of conflicting thoughts I believe to my core: As a baseball fan, I don’t know how to feel about this. Baseball’s a sport that’s supposed to be about measuring greatness over 162 games, and it’s becoming less and less about that with each passing year. Personally, I find the addition of the […]
Worcester: L, 2-7 (F/11) (BOX SCORE) This game fell apart in extras, namely the eleventh, and to be honest, the WooSox should have had it won earlier than that. The pitching was solid throughout the night, starting with Jake Bennett striking out eleven Red Wings (Nationals AAA) and allowing one run. Bennett’s pitch count was […]
The Royals were swept at home by the Red Sox, they’ve lost 9 of their last 10 games now, writes Jaylon Thompson. “People are frustrated, sure,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “I mean, we don’t come out here and lose games and walk away feeling good about it. “I mean, there’s no chance of that. […]
The Phillies finally had their streak of six straight series wins snapped yesterday with their loss in the rubber match with the Reds. Their turnaround since Don Mattingly took over as manager has been impressive, but they were bound to run into a dud of a series at some point. The important part will be […]

Salvador Perez got the Royals an early lead against Connelly Early by pulling the ball straight down the left field line and into the seats. Exiting the first, Kansas City was up 1 to 0. That lead did not last long. The top of the second was a long one for Michael Wacha. A leadoff […]
The Red Sox earned just their third win of the season when trailing after six innings. The rare clutch comeback helped Boston sweep the Kansas City Royals with a 4-3 victory. A quality start from Connelly Early and a late swing from a hot bat delivered the clincher. Here’s three takeaways from Wednesday’s series finale. […]
A scintillating starting pitching matchup is on tap in the Bronx tonight, as young phenoms Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage are supposed to go toe-to-toe. Both right-handers broke out late in 2025, with Schlittler earning a rotation spot down the stretch for the Yankees and then dominating the Red Sox in his playoff debut to […]
Stop me if you have heard this one before. The Royals are going into the game tonight looking to avoid getting swept. For the third series in a row, Kansas City is just hoping to salvage one win going into the third game. They cannot fix all of their problems in one game on a […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 7:40 p.m. ET The Red Sox are officially out of last place in the American League East and search for their second sweep of the season. Boston earned wins behind solid starts from Sonny Gray and Ranger Suarez to start the series. On Wednesday night, Boston sends Connelly Early to the […]
Even though the Reds may be turning it around, Edwin Arroyo might be on the verge of a callup. The post The Stash List ’26: Week Eight appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
If there was one player mentioned more than most this past offseason, it was Jarren Duran. As a trade candidate. The thinking was, supposedly, simple: too many outfielders Roman Anthony is set to be on the Red Sox forever. He’s a capable corner guy. There’s not a completing reason to move him to first base […]
Worcester: L, 6-7 (BOX SCORE) Nate Eaton’s three hits at the top of the order couldn’t overcome how rough Roger Burgos’ four-inning start was, nor a home run allowed by a rehabbing Danny Coulombe. The WooSox never led the Red Wings (Nationals AAA) but kept it close, scoring three runs in the seventh. Still, the […]
Author Series: One Day in September: Baseball, Brotherhood, and the Birth of the All-Star Game bmarkusen Wed, 2026-05-20 09:18 Nationally acclaimed author Scott Reich delves into how the All-Star Game as we know it was born on a crisp September afternoon at Boston's Fenway Park in 1917. The game's greatest stars took the field in support of a colleague who had recently passed away. The program begins at 1 pm in the Baseball Discovery Zone. A b...
If Payton Tolle came out of obscurity to help the 2025 Red Sox down the stretch, Connelly Early came from another planet. I’m pretty tapped into the farm system. I spend way too much time on Twitter, with an algorithm full of Red Sox content. I knew Tolle; I actually wrote about him well before […]
Good morning! Did Jarren Duran’s three-run shot in the ninth last night feel surreal to anyone else or was that just me? I had forgotten that teams were allowed to score late-inning insurance runs. The Red Sox scored more than three runs for the first time in nine games last night. It was just the […]
Every once in a while, you get a night where you have to tip your cap to the opponent. It might stem from a stellar pitching performance, a buttoned down operation in all phases of the game, or a bunch of clutch hits piled together. When you play 162 of these things, it’s going to […]
With Kris Bubic out with some elbow discomfort, the Kansas City Royals turned to ye olde “bullpen game” against the Boston Red Sox. While the bullpen held for most of the game, the Royals offense stayed sleepy and the Red Sox eventually did their damage, beating the Royals in a 7-1 slog. Kansas City turned […]
The Royals are facing one of their biggest adversaries in tonight’s game: a left-hander. Gasp! The lefties are deadly. If you know one, keep an extra eye on them, because you never know when they’ll kick the teeth into a Royals lineup. To be fair to the Royals, they are trying something different. Vinnie Pasquantino, […]
There’s a pair of ghastly statistics relevant to the Red Sox offense and this matchup that are so absurd, they almost sound fake. Ahead of this evening’s middle game in Kansas City, the baseball gods are trying to do everything in their power to give poor Ranger some runs. Specifically, they sent Kris Bubic, the […]
It was not Kyle Schwarber who socked a backbreaking homer off the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night in Philadelphia. That honor went to Bryson Stott, who crushed Cincinnati’s dream of a come-from-behind victory with a 2-run shot off Graham Ashcraft in the Bottom of the 8th inning that turned a 4-3 Reds lead into a […]
