by domara | Mar 19, 2014 | 2014 Red Sox Spring Training, Andrew Bailey, C.C. Sabathia, Craig Breslow, Daniel Nava, Felix Doubront, Grady Sizemore, Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Carp
The Red Sox and Yankees met for the first time this spring on Tuesday afternoon. Felix Doubront encountered a speed bump in his other wise smooth spring, allowing 7 runs on 10 hits over 3.2 innings. Meanwhile, Boston’s lack luster line-up didn’t offer much...
by bcowett | Dec 2, 2013 | 2014 Red Sox offseason, Andrew Bailey, Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz, Dioner Navarro, Logan Morrison, Mike Napoli, Oakland Athletics, Rafael Furcal, Scott Kazmir
The Sox are taking the patient approach to the offseason, in stark contrast to what they did last year. It’s unsettling, but nothing out of the ordinary, really. He wasn’t the best or the healthiest reliever for the Red Sox, but Andrew Bailey still has...
by huntergolden | Sep 4, 2013 | Andrew Bailey, Brad Ziegler, Joel Hanrahan, Jose Bautista, Koji Uehara, Mariano Rivera
If there’s any one player-related piece that I hope people take away from this season, it’s that folks begin to appreciate just how good Koji Uehara is at baseball – and I really mean that. I mean it because sure, he’s an insanely likeable guy, but I say it more...

As soon as a new deal is signed the debate begins over whether or not the player is actually worth the money that they will be paid. It happened with all of the free agent acquisitions last winter, it happened when Pedroia signed his extension, and it will happen...
by akhatchaturian | Aug 3, 2013 | Andrew Bailey, Andrew Miller, Clay Buchholz, Craig Breslow, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy, Jon Lester, Junichi Tazawa, Koji Uehara, Ryan Dempster
Red Sox Nation cheered in jubilation when Ben Cherington acquired Jake Peavy in a heist calculated more efficiently than Walter White’s methylamine robbery in Breaking Bad. That said, the team’s inability to bring in a reliever is a cause for concern. There is no...

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...

With all the talk about whom the Red Sox should go out and try to get at the trade deadline, there hasn’t been much discussion surrounding some of the players they should avoid. And trust me when I say – there are a lots of guys who aren’t close to worth their...

With the All-Star break looming on the horizon (it begins after Sunday’s game) I think now is a good time as ever to take a look back over the first 94 games of the season and grade out the Boston Red Sox. The categories we will use are the typical five: offense,...

There is nothing better than a walk-off Red Sox win. It doesn’t matter how many we have in a season, they never get old. There is the initial moment of doubt. Does it have enough to get out of here? Is it going to stay fair? Will the ball get through the drawn...

87 games into the season and the Boston Red Sox have the best record in baseball. Do you want to re-read that? Do you remember how many games the Red Sox won in all of 2012? They won a derisory 69 games while almost losing one hundred. The entire season was an...
