The giant ball of suck that is the Red Sox outfield has taken the lion’s share of blame for the team’s poor offensive performance this season, but catcher has been another weak spot. A.J. Pierzynski and David Ross are both struggling (combined .248/.284/.374 at the...

After dropping 2 of 3 games in Detroit over the weekend, the Red Sox opened up a series with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Red Sox sent Jake Peavy to the hill, while the Orioles countered with right-hander Bud Norris. Similar to starts past this season, Jake...

Most youngsters who grew up in the late 1990s were inclined to watch television shows like Pokeman, SpongeBob Square Pants or Power Rangers. That wasn’t the case with Pawtucket Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez. When Vazquez turned on the TV set in his hometown of...

There’s a new center fielder in town. Jackie Bradley Jr., through his considerable skill set, is now entrenched in center field for the foreseeable future. Out with the (relatively) old, in with the new, as they say. Bradley, however, has a tool that seems to be...

Today marked the end of the Red Sox 10-game losing streak, a dubious accomplishment that I can say I wouldn’t have expected from the defending champs. The Sox currently sit at 21-29, solidly in last place in the AL East. With still over 100 games remaining in the...

In case you’ve missed it, the Red Sox have lost an astounding nine games in a row. That’s nearly three times their longest losing streak from last season, when they dropped three straight only three times the entire season. Call it bad luck, injuries, poor...

Another game, another shoddy start and subsequent loss for the Red Sox; this time it was Clay Buchholz spoiling Boston’s chances to end a 5 game losing skid. The slender right-hander was hit hard by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night, allowing 5 runs on 9...

Aside from nearly getting no-hit by Yu Darvish on Friday night, the Red Sox 3 game series in Texas was another step in the right direction. Jon Lester took the hill for Boston on Saturday, and allowed 3 runs over 7 innings of work. In support of Lester, Shane...

After taking 2 of 3 games from the Oakland Athletics over the weekend, the Red Sox enjoyed an off day on Monday. The team will be back in action on Tuesday night, as they welcome in the Cinncinati Reds for a short, 2 game interleague series. Felix Doubront will take...

The Red Sox welcomed in the Oakland Athletics over the weekend for a 3 game set. Clay Buchholz toed the rubber for game one of the series, the slender right hander tossed 6.1 innings allowing just a run on 3 hits. Boston’s offense erupted for 7 runs, on 11 hits,...
