The Boston Red Sox stand at 20-22 after a tough three-game losing streak, including two straight at home against the Detroit Tigers. They have lost four of their last five contests and are 2.5 games behind both the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. Sure, the...

Despite their best efforts, the Red Sox failed to complete a comeback over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. After Jake Peavy put the team in an early hole by allowing 6 runs in 4.1 innings, the Red Sox bats battled back and knotted the game at 6 in the seventh inning....

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...

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...

The market is moving again! We aren’t stagnating! Things could happen and we might see reports on them! Rejoice, baseball fans, rejoice! Stuff could happen! Seems like the Red Sox’s interest in Stephen Drew was overblown. It’s looking more and more...

Despite it being Patriots season right now, baseball trudges along through the winter. Is there a Venezuelan Winter League dot TV thing I can sign up for? The Hall of Fame class is deserving, despite the general smallness of it. You only wish that more guys were...

In a strange, polar-vortex-related topic, “vortex” should be the next abstract team name. How terrifying would it be to face, say, the London Vortex? Hall of Fame voting has essentially become a farce. You need to be cleaner than an operating room and...

As the offseason progresses, you’re going to see a lot of pieces that rank Red Sox. They’ll rank each Red Sox on the 40-man roster. They’ll rank each projected Red Sox starter. They’ll rank the Red Sox prospect. They’ll rank the...

Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried to put on my objective hat and find ways to improve the Red Sox. I argued in favor of signing Brian McCann. I’ve argued against trading for Giancarlo Stanton. I argued that we needed one of Mike Napoli, Carlos Beltran or...
