The Milwaukee Brewers, coming off their third consecutive series win to begin the season and now sitting at 7-2 on the year, are headed to Boston to take on the Red Sox this week. The Brewers and Red Sox are probably most tied together at this point thanks to a pair of trades in the […]
By golly, they actually did it! For the first time since 2004, the White Sox have swept their home opening series, by virtue of a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. It what might have been Chicago’s cleanest game of the season so far—no errors, no baserunning mishaps, and most importantly, not a single blemish […]
It’s important to remember that baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. As a one-time marathon runner (no big deal), starting out too fast is a real concern. Just ask one-time marathon runner Jacob Roy, who went out too fast and ran the final six miles at about 10 minutes per mile after running the […]
Ok, so the winning streak thing didn’t work out yesterday. So today let’s just hope that Ranger Suárez can figure it out on the mound. First pitch at 1:35 PM on NESN.

Yesterday’s game saw this San Diego Padres club do something it hasn’t shown yet this season: fight. After having a 2-1 lead over the Boston Red Sox for most of the game (in large part due to Randy Vásquez’s sheer force of will), Adrian Morejon came in to pitch the eighth inning. He had hoped […]
The Red Sox have taken some flak for their rocky start in this young season, and I’m about to pile on. It’s about the pelvic thrust hit celebration. I’ll say up front that I don’t care about being “family friendly” or anything like that. Here are my issues with it. It’s not okay with female […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Cincinnati Reds yesterday by a score of 2-0. Kumar Rocker impressed in his season debut. Jeff Wilson writes that Kumar Rocker took a step forward and the offense took a step back. Skip Schumaker says that Evan Carter will keep getting chances against lefthanded pitchers. Jake […]
Better late than never – that is what they say. For the San Diego Padres, that statement rang true when Fernando Tatis Jr., who had four strikeouts in the game, lined a two-out double to center field in the top of the ninth inning off Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman. Ramon Laureano, who had […]
Three days after getting 2024 Rule 5 Draft pick Angel Bastardo back from the Blue Jays, the Red Sox got 2025 Rule 5 Draft pick Jedixson Paez back from the White Sox on Saturday. Unlike Bastardo with the Blue Jays, Paez made the White Sox’ Opening Day roster out of spring training last month despite … Continue reading "Red Sox get Rule 5 pick Jedixson Paez back from White Sox"
For the eighth game in a row to kick off the 2026 MLB season, the Boston Red Sox failed to score more than five runs. They are the only team in baseball that has yet to do so this season. Get used to this. The lineup isn’t going to be this anemic all season long […]
San Diego Padres star right-fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. struggled at the plate with four strikeouts in his first four appearances against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, Saturday. In the top of the ninth, with two outs, he finally put a ball in play off Boston closer Aroldis Chapman. Tatis Jr. hit a line […]
Nathaniel Lowe posted a 122 OPS+ in nearly 2600 PA for the Texas Rangers across four full seasons after coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays. In that time he was valued at 11.5 bWAR, won a Gold Glove, a World Series, and a Silver Slugger Award – the latter coming during a remarkable 2022 […]

A couple of weeks ago we didn’t even think he’d make the Opening Day Roster. Now we’re saying “thank god we’ve got Connelly Early going today.” Behind Early, Alex Cora is rolling out the same starting nine batting the same order as yesterday. If ain’t broke, yadda, yadda. In the other dugout, it’s a day-off […]
Worcester: Cancelled (Rain) Bob Osgood ended up with upwards of ten double headers that were the result of rain outs of games I was supposed to write about in 2025. When Thursday’s game was met with a storm in St. Paul, the uno reverse card was in play, but I hit Dan Secatore with the […]
Friday’s 10-1 blowout of the Rockies was the perfect salve for a lineup that was struggling. Granted, they were not facing a pitching staff that would be considered one of the better ones in the game, but it’s not as though they were facing monsters on the mound in Philadelphia. Several Phillies left town for […]
WORCESTER, Mass. – The Red Sox drafted a plethora of blue chip prospects over a four-year stretch, with Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel among others. But you may forget that Anthony wasn’t the first selection for Boston back in 2022. That would be Mikey Romero. The rise of the “Big Three” kept the spotlight […]
Greensboro Grasshoppers 9, Greenville Drive 5, 11 Inns. (BOX) The Greenville Drive fought back late in their season opener before ultimately falling in extras to the Greensboro Grasshoppers, 9-5 in 11 innings on Thursday. The Drive had been shut out through eight innings before Freili Encarnacion delivered a two-out, three-run home run in the bottom […]
I personally wasn’t in Boston, but looking at it on TV, that was quintessential Red Sox Opening Day weather, eh? 50s and sunny, the white uniforms back on and a city wanting to kick this team in the backside. Well, they thankfully didn’t make this one too stressful on any of us as they rolled […]
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, welcome (back) to Fenway Park! The Red Sox look to get their mojo this season as Don Orsillo and Xander Bogaerts return to Boston with the San Diego Padres. Gonna be a cool and cloudy one out there! ⚾️ First Pitch: 2:10pm ET — Fenway Park, Boston, MA 📺 […]

Happy Home Opening Day, everybody. If you feel like approaching today as the true Opening Day, no one would blame you. After nearly 48 hours of mild rage, I’m ready to turn the page. A question for today: Who will step up to provide leadership for these 2026 Red Sox? Part of the issue with […]
We made it to Opening Day. It was hard to get here, literally. A 1-5 record before setting foot in front of the Green Monster is not what Red Sox Nation waited all winter to see. Already the winnable games in Cincinnati look like missed opportunities compared to the series in Houston. But now the […]
There are a few things you can count on in this life: death, taxes, and me posting this same exact story every year on Fenway ...
