Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
They blew our doors off‘Cause sometimes it’s pain;It’s always crazy like that.As we watched from our couches,We had hope in the upside;It may continue.We saw as Woods Richardson threw;Strong start, a Martin jack,But it crashed amid a muddled third,And we hit the sack.First Luke erred, then Story hit one over the wallWhile Early made our […]
What if the biggest difference between a D1 softball player and everyone else had nothing to do with talent? That might sound wrong at first. After all, when you think of Division 1 athletes, you picture power hitters, dominant pitchers, and elite defenders. And yes—talent matters. But here’s the truth most people don’t talk about: […]
The San Francisco Giants have had the worst outfield in the Major Leagues this year, and now it’s getting a shakeup. However, it’s not the performance that is causing that shakeup, but rather injuries. On Wednesday, ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Reds, the Giants announced that starting center fielder Harrison Bader and fourth […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:40 p.m. ET Well, this series couldn’t have started any worse. Red Sox starters gave up 15 earned runs in the first two games, thanks to disastrous starts from Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray. Boston’s lineup also got shutout for the first time this season and is lacking momentum entering Wednesday […]

Worcester: L, 4-9 (BOX SCORE) “Struggling” out of the gate seems relative now with consecutive poor performances by Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray, but Patrick Sandoval doesn’t quite seem ready to rejoin the Major League roster in a few weeks (due to being a pitcher, he gets a month of rehab time.) He struck out […]
Morning, all! After a rough start to the season, Nathan Eovaldi threw seven shutout innings to the A’s on Monday. Josh Sborz needs to be added to the 40 man roster today or he will be available for all 29 major league teams to claim, though doing so will require removing someone. The Rangers started […]
Welp, just when it seemed like the Yankees bats were waking up with their 11-10 walk-off win in the series opener against the Angels, they immediately went back to sleep scoring just one run in a listless middle-game loss. It never helps when your starting pitcher gives up back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first inning, […]
Good morning! After another ugly loss last night, the Red Sox once again find themselves as the worst team in baseball. It’s still April, and no one is getting fired yet, nor do I think anyone is getting demoted. But surely the Sox need to do something, right? So what one move would you make […]
When Mick Abel hit Willson Contreras, the first baseman joined Yandy Diaz, Dillon Dingler, Connor Nordy, and Isaac Paredes to lead all of MLB with four hit by pitches. So far in the season, Contreras has been hit once each by the Reds, Brewers, Cardinals, and Twins. Contreras has had a mixed bag with HBPs. […]
For the third time on this road trip, the Red Sox entered a game with a seemingly large pitching advantage and lost. They got shut down by Dustin May last Friday, watched Garrett Crochet get bombarded while matched up against Bailey Ober yesterday, and saw Sonny Gray get thoroughly outpitched by Mick Abel tonight. On […]
The Twins struck first in this game with a Luke Keaschall single scoring Byron Buxton from 2nd. There was a tag play at the plate and he was initially called out but replay overturned it, putting the Twins up 1-0. In the 3rd, Buxton would make it 2-0 with a solo shot to left. In […]
Coming off a dominant outing for High-A Greenville last week, Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera has entered Baseball America’s top 100 list for the very first time. Valera was one of three new additions to Baseball America’s top 100 rankings on Monday, coming in at No. 100. The 19-year-old right-hander now joins fellow Red … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera cracks Baseball America’s top 100 rankings"

After last night’s abysmal start from Garrett Crochet in which he only went 1.2 innings, the Red Sox middle relief is taxed. As a result, they had to make the following roster move today, which lands Jack Anderson in a big league uniform for the first time: Ideally, Boston won’t need the middle relief tonight […]
The WNBA is the hardest league in American sports to even get a proverbial cup of coffee in. It’s not hard to see why; with just 15 teams (and that’s only as of this year) and 180 total roster spots, most of which are already taken by the best players in the world, there isn’t […]
Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is the true definition of an ace: dependable, dominant, and downright terrifying to step into the box against. So… what the hell is going on? Crochet has been unusually shaky to kickstart the season, allowing nearly as many runs (18) as strikeouts recorded (22) — with those aggressively poor […]
Alycia Baumgardner is set to return this Friday, April 17, 2026, to defend her three super featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in the main event of MVP’s second ESPN card, MVW-02. We’ll have live coverage and updates this Friday night, so make sure you come back to Bad Left Hook for that, and […]
Managers are hired to be fired. This is not news to anyone who has watched baseball for a significant period of time. It is exceedingly rare for a baseball manager to ever retire on his own terms. Heck, even some recent Hall of Fame-caliber managers who retired found themselves managing other teams in relatively short […]
The 2000 New York Yankees were not a team of destiny like in 1998, or the well-oiled machine that dropped but a single playoff game en route to a title in 1999. They were a squad that needed help. Jockeying for position with the Red Sox and Blue Jays in a crowded AL East, the […]
How many pitches into the game last night did you start worrying about Garrett Crochet’s health? Such is life as a baseball fan in the 21st century. But, for now at least, Crochet says there’s nothing to worry about. He and the Sox brass all confirmed he felt healthy last night, and Crochet downplayed the […]
Aroldis Chapman has been nearly perfect over his Red Sox tenure. He’s converted 35 of 37 save opportunities, registering a 1.22 ERA in that span. But Father Time is undefeated, Chapman has been prone to meltdowns, and I’m generally distrustful, so I’m waiting for the wheels to fall off. Last week, against the Brewers, Chapman […]
With the Red Sox having some momentum after winning two straight and four of their last five games, they gave the ball to Garrett Crochet last night. He was facing a Minnesota Twins lineup that recently beat up on Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, and turned in the worst performance of his career: an 11-run, […]
The Red Sox lost to the Twins 11-6 on Monday, a Crochet Day. They were down 11-0 before the second inning was over and got some runs after that, but it was plenty over by then. It was bad. It was very bad. It was abysmal. The end.
Is this my most strained pun headline yet? Most likely. Also, please don’t crochet your socks. That’s just asking for blisters. After chasing Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez early last week, tonight they ambushed 2025 AL Cy Young runner-up Garrett Crochet for 11 runs in the first two innings. To say the lineup has come […]
