On a clear and chilly September night in Boston, the Red Sox and Rays began their final series of the 2014 season. Starters Clay Buchholz and Alex Cobb held the line for their respective clubs for most of the game, with both starters pitching into the 7th inning....

The Red Sox continued their recent winning ways this weekend by taking 2 games of 3 from the Tampa Bay Rays. In his third career start, Boston right-hander Anthony Ranaudo tamed Tampa Bay over 6 innings of work, allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits, and striking out 4. The...

The first six weeks of the season haven’t all gone according to plan for the Red Sox. Various injuries and some poor hitting with men on base have conspired to dampen their offensive production, Felix Doubront and Clay Buchholz have each turned in a stinker or two,...

The Red Sox are up two games to none on the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, and they have yet to use their best starting pitcher. This is something you already know, of course, but it’s incredible enough that it bears repeating. What’s perhaps more notable is that this...

It’s pretty much come down to this, folks. The Rays are falling way behind in the pennant race, and the Red Sox have gladly widened the gap. Their only chance to get back in the race? A tussle with the team at the top of the division. The Red Sox will gladly...

Sort of an “out of the frying pan, into the fire” situation for the Red Sox here, huh? They just finish with a hard-fought series victory over the New York Yankees only to run into the magma-hot Rays from St. Pete. We always want more baseball, and this...

After losing two of three to Toronto, the Boston Red Sox (22-16, third place in the AL East, 2 games back) travel to St. Petersburg, Florida to face the Tampa Bay Rays (19-18, 4th place in the AL East, 4.5 games back) in a three-game series. The Red Sox are a woeful...

After losing two of three against the Orioles, the Boston Red Sox (5-4, tied for first in the AL East) finish their homestand with a four- three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays (4-5, one game back in the AL East). The Rays usually get by with pitching and...

Tampa Bay Rays 2013 Season Preview As you may recall, it began on June 5, 2008. The night prior, Coco Crisp had slid questionably hard into the knees of Rays’ second baseman Akinori Iwamura. Words were exchanged, but the teams shortly thereafter went about their...

Continuing from last week, here’s Part Two of my AL East breakdown. (Part One can be found here.) Tampa Bay Rays (90-73, 3rd in AL East) In terms of trades, the Rays may have won the non-Toronto division for the offseason when they dealt James Shields to Kansas City...
