Stop me if you’ve heard this before — David Ortiz saved the Red Sox. Down a run with runners on first and second in the eighth inning, the long tenured Boston slugger drilled a 3 run shot to give the Red Sox a two-run cushion during Sunday nights game...

In a rematch of the 2013 ALCS, the Red Sox and Tigers met over the weekend for the first time since last October. However unlike in the ALCS, the Tigers dominated Boston in ever aspect of the game from Friday to Sunday. Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello, and Anibal Sanchez...

I guess it was inevitable that the teams with the two best offenses in the major leagues would meet in the ALCS. Strangely enough, the Tigers and the Red Sox have never faced each other in the playoffs before in the history of baseball. Someone’s going to make a...

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the Red Sox have undergone a tremendous amount of change over the past few years. Sure, some mainstays like David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and Jacoby Ellsbury have defined the core of this team. Yet by my count,...

My daily routine during baseball season typically involves taking some time to scan through the box scores of the previous night’s games. I enjoy scanning ESPN’s box scores for interesting stats and things like that, because A: I’m a nerd, and B: boredom. One thing...

ESPN’s standings currently have the Red Sox sitting at a 99.9% chance of making the playoffs. So is it a lock that Boston will once against be dancing in October? Of course not! But just how close are they to winning the AL East? Even if the Red Sox go a modest 7-8...

I’ll be honest with you guys, I still feel pretty baseball drunk from what happened tonight. First there were the Cliff Lee rumors. Then Jackie Bradley Jr. was pulled from his game in Pawtucket. Then there was a false report that Giancarlo Stanton had been pulled from...

Yep, it’s Monday again. The Hot Stove is now the Mildly Warm Stove. And with all this quiet time, we look back to look forward. With links, of course. Looks like the Red Sox are shifting down a few gears in the offseason. And with hindsight, that Ryan Dempster...

You know what’s pretty sweet? Hot Stove action. You know what’s even better? Links to read on a calm Friday morning. Judging from how Ryan Dempster rejected an earlier contract, I didn’t expect him to come to Boston. Turns out he only needed $1.5...

The 2012 Baseball Winter Meetings will be held in Nashville on Monday through Wednesday. Let’s take a look at some of the free agents and non-tendered players that the Red Sox may be interested in. As everybody knows, Boston is looking for a first baseman, and...
