It’s inevitable. At some point, Ben Cherington will lose Koji Uehara. Now, whether that’s due to lowballing him by a few million dollars this offseason, in a trade at next year’s deadline, or retirement remains to be seen. But the fact of the matter...

The Boston Red Sox had not lost 10 games in a row since 1994, but the three consecutive sweeps by the hand of the Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays and the Tamp Bay Rays sent the Red Sox on a tailspin as they are now 20-29 on the season. The squad is eight games back...

In today’s MLB, bullpens are characterized by relievers who can come into the game with overpowering fastballs. According to FanGraphs.com, the average velocity of a big league fastball has risen from 91.1 mph in 2007 to 92.9 mph last season, and that trend is even...

Last Friday night, the Red Sox earned their 94th win in 155 games played, with the last out fittingly coming on a Koji Uehara strikeout. The win sealed the first division title for the Red Sox since 2007, and their seventh AL East title since the division was formed...

Go ahead, MLB Video and ESPN Classic. Remind us as often as you want. Show that choked-up little Dent swing, that feeble flick of a bat against Mike Torrez, that wind-aided pop fly with two aboard that landed in the nets and made Yaz drop his head and kneel in pain....

There is something great about playing teams like the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. It’s not just that we get to see great, unfamiliar players like Carlos Gonzalez, and it’s certainly not that the wins and losses count any less than they do against the...

Everyone ready for this Sox-Rangers series? Where we see the best Boston basher this side of our current 1st baseman in Nelson Cruz? Yeah. It’s gonna be an adventure. A win against each of the other four AL East teams. Strikeout rate above 9. But what does Clay...
