Red Sox Minor Lines: Could Gage Ziehl be leveraged in a trade?
Worcester: L, 4-5 (BOX SCORE) One rainy day removed from the WooSox’s one-run loss to the RailRiders (Yankees AAA) on Friday night, they fell to a walk-off home run at the end of a pretty effective bullpen day when they allowed just five hits, three of those being home runs. The WooSox even being in […]
Red Sox News & Links: Sox, Breslow still not committing to buying at trade deadline
That the Red Sox have climbed out of the Grand Canyon-sized hold they dug themselves over the first three months of the season is remarkable enough, that they’ve done it without any contributions from the most talented hitter on their roster is shocking. Alas, they better hope they can keep it going without Roman Anthony […]
Who are these guys and what have they done with the 2026 Red Sox?
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Feels weird to not have a World Cup game ready to go on deck now, doesn’t it? But you know what we do have on deck? A Red Sox game. They play Baltimore at Fenway tonight, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EST. A win would bring our […]
Red Sox Rout First-Place Rays 6-1, Make It 13 in a Row
The Boston Red Sox just swept the Tampa Bay Rays—the team that entered this series leading the AL East. It’s their fourth consecutive series sweep. Thirteen wins in a row. 50-48 and rising. Holy crap. I can’t keep saying things that show my disbelief at this happening, in the best way possible. OK, onto the […]
Sonny Gray steps on the mound to sustain Sox streak
I’ve been with you the first three games of this weekend, let’s finish it out, shall we? ⚾️ First Pitch: 1:35pm — Fenway Park, Boston MA 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
Buying a Red Sox jersey online shouldn’t be this hard
I turned 30 in May, and yes, my family still likes to give gifts. My parents, so lovingly, got me a Fanatics gift card—because, and I’m pretty much quoting here, “only you know what jersey you want that would make you happiest.” Which, fair. They’re not wrong. I do know. It saves them the hassle […]
Who has the best walk-up music in Major League Baseball?
Walk-up music is a phenomenon that has become more and more prevalent in recent years for baseball and softball players at all levels. It’s a trend that started at the major league level and has worked its way down to the kids. For some, it’s probably the highlight of their baseball experience, so why not […]
Red Sox Go Above .500 on Abreu Blast with 7th-Inning Comeback vs. Rays
I barely have the words to describe my excitement with this streak and my amazement with this team. I’m going to try. Boy, these Red Sox are winning in every way possible. Yesterday with a starting gem and powerful offense in Game 1, then a bullpen game holding the line in Game 2. This afternoon’s […]
Sandoval takes the bump for Saturday afternoon bout vs. Rays
UPDATE We have a ballgame to play! OLDER And so the weather affects this one! Patrick Sandoval makes his Fenway Park debut for the Red Sox as the squad looks to keep this thing going! If…the weather decides to cooperate. ⚾️ Time: 4:10pm — Fenway Park, Boston, MA 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
Red Sox Minor Lines: Brooks Brannon is a home run machine
Worcester: L, 6-7 (BOX SCORE) Allan Castro continues his hot streak after the break with three knocks in Scranton (Yankees AAA). The WooSox had a pretty awesome day at the plate all things considered. Nate Eaton hit a home run off a rehabbing Max Fried, the eighth inning featured homers from Mikey Romero and Bret […]
My Red Sox takeaways from an on-site All-Star visit
PHILADELPHIA — The MLB All-Star Game had not been as close to Boston as this season since Washington D.C. hosted in 2018, which was also known as a year to remember for Red Sox Nation. Given the uncertainty of when Fenway Park will next host and the America 250 historical angle of this year’s Midsummer […]
Red Sox wagon keeps rolling as win streak hits 11 with doubleheader victories
The Boston Red Sox are 48-48, even for the first time since March 28th—the second game of the entire season. They got there by sweeping a doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays, 10-0 and 5-3, on a Friday afternoon and evening at Fenway Park. Jake Bennett went six innings and gave up one hit in […]
Scorchin’ Sox kick off second half with Fenway double header vs. Rays
UPDATED BEFORE GAME 2: The real test begins. This is the true start of the second half of the season and this is where the Red Sox either prove they’re worth their mettle or show us they are who we thought they were. Let’s get it. Game 1 ⚾️ Time: 1:35pm – Fenway Park, Boston, […]
We’re Back! A Red Sox Story kicks off with the Rays at Fenway Park
Welcome to the second half. The Red Sox are 46-48 after a nine-game winning streak to close out the first part of the season. Now the team races towards the trade deadline with eyes on being buyers rather than sellers. Willson Contreras doesn’t’ want to leave. So it’ll be up to him, Sonny Gray, Aroldis […]
The Red Sox rotation is about to be pushed to its breaking point
Through a combination of a nearly unexplainable 9-game winning streak, a pair of off days within it, and the All-Star break stoppage, the Red Sox haven’t lost in over two weeks. Or to put it another way, their remarkable turnaround has left them delightfully stuck with a 48 in the loss column since July 1st. […]
Happy Opening Day, Red Sox Nation!
Hell—OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and good morning, my fellow Boston baseball fans! Isn’t it such a beautiful day? The sun is shining and the birds are singing. It’s a lovely Friday here in the hub of the universe; today would be a great day even without the headline news. That news, of course, is that the Red Sox […]
Digging through the NESN archives while the Red Sox are on break
Like Elaine Benes trying to become a submarine captain, I spent much of my winter eating a lot of bad sandwiches watching a lot of old NESN footage to uncover some gems from past broadcasts. I wanted the Pokey Leap from 2004, but also found That Catch Coco Made. And that wasn’t all. There were […]
Will the 2026 Red Sox continue to bear a striking resemblance to the 2009 Rockies?
The Red Sox season changed dramatically back on April 25th when the team fired Alex Cora and appointed Chad Tracy as interim manager. However, their initial trajectory did not. Starting seven games under .500 when Tracy took over, the team fell another seven games under .500 over the next eight weeks. (It certainly hasn’t helped […]
Red Sox News & Links: Ceddanne Rafaela challenges Craig Breslow to buy at trade deadline
Ceddanne Rafaela didn’t have a particularly impactful All-Star Game performance. But he did get a chance to reconnect with one of his baseball heroes and mentors. Fellow Curacaoan/defensive genius Andruw Jones was also in Philadelphia, and the two met up and talked for well over an hour. “I like everything I see,” Jones said of […]
Today on OTM: Remember Triston Casas?
With Willson Contreras having emerged to become the face of the franchise, it’s fun to look way back in the archives. Like, remember Triston Casas? Whatever happened to that guy? But seriously, when does Casas ever return to the Sox, even if he somehow miraculously stays healthy? Does he ever?
Red Sox acquire Jahmai Jones in trade with Tigers
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jahmai Fitzgerald Jones and he comes from suburban Atlanta, which seemingly produces more baseball talent than just about anywhere else in America right now (though the most notable alumn from his prep school is former Pats center David Andrews). Jones was a second round draft […]
Patrick Sandoval is – suddenly and surprisingly – an important part of the Red Sox rotation
The Boston Red Sox, for lack of a better term, have been pitching their dicks off. You know this is typed and not a live performance, right? Like, you could ask someone for a better term or at least think on it for a little while, Jake. Fine. I lied. It’s not because I lack […]
The problem with, but not the solution for MLB’s All-Star game
If there’s one word I’d use to describe tonight’s All-Star game, it would be forgettable. Eleven different American League pitchers joined forces to shut out the National League without a single one of them recording more than three outs. Combined, the two teams used 20 different pitchers, and 19 of them only allowed one run […]
Willson Contreras, Ceddanne Rafaela & Aroldis Chapman take the field for Red Sox in the All-Star Game
It’s the Midsummer Classic tonight in Philadelphia, just a few weeks after America’s 250th birthday. Is that why it’s in Philadelphia? Who knows? The Red Sox have several representatives this year, which is kind of crazy given how most of this season has gone. Ceddanne Rafaela, Willson Contreras, and Aroldis Chapman are representing the team […]
Top-5 Red Sox All-Star Game moments… post-1999
When your franchise is decades older than the very first iteration of your sport’s all-star event, you’re bound to have some iconic players making some key plays during the league’s premier mid-year showcase. The Boston Red Sox are no exception to that. Over 125 seasons and……….well, a lot of All-Stars later (I ain’t counting all […]
