I don’t even care that it was two college teams. The Red Sox played baseball yesterday. They pitched and hit and scored runs and stuff. It all still counts.
- We’re not always the optimistic sort, but the 2014 Red Sox look different and not as 2013-like. Is this bad? No, but you do wonder how good they’ll be. (Pessimism and the 2014 Red Sox)
- Seriously, John Farrell is a rock. No more Jacoby Ellsbury? Yeah, well, we’ll score just as many runs. I like it. You go, John Farrell. (Jacoby Ellsbury’s Stolen Bases Won’t Mean Fewer Runs For The Sox)
- It wasn’t an easy 2013 for Will Middlebrooks. He had the third base job, lost it, kinda sorta had it again, and then Game 3. But 2014’s a new year. (Tough 2013 has Will Middlebrooks listening)
- Sure, there’s no such thing as a pitching prospect, but those young Sox hurlers sure looked good Thursday.Bright futures all over the place. (Sox young pitching on display in openers)
- Being a starter wasn’t working out for for Andrew Miller. Then a move to the bullpen made him a lefty eradicator and gave him a career. (Move to bullpen saved Andrew Miller’s career)
- They practically worked overtime out of the bullpen in 2013, and with reinforcements a-plenty, Koji Uehara & Junichi Tazawa can take a breather. (Plan in place for Uehara and Tazawa)
- Surprisingly, the answer isn’t more cowbell – or more Cowgill, if you’re baseball-inclined. (The Cure for Spring Baseball Fever)
Oh, Carl.
