As valuable as these two Sox regulars have been, I believe they’ll be better in the second half. Kevin Youkilis started off slow, based on his standards. His strikeout rate was hovering around 30-percent for most of April and into May, but we knew that would...

The second half of the season is upon us! After a brutal 2-10 start, the Red Sox sprung to life, and now sit atop the American League East division with a 55-35 record. Given their small one game lead over the New York Yankees, and a tenuous six game lead over the...

Dec. 18th, 2010 Merry Christmas, Boston. You have the makings of a shutdown bullpen. We could have written that headline last Christmas after the Red Sox stacked their bullpen with top-of-the-line relievers. The reliever binge made the 7th, 8th and 9th innings an...

Just a few observations from last night’s game against the Orioles: Last night, John Lackey arguably hurled his best start of the season (only competition was his 4/24 start against the Angels) going 6-2/3 innings while giving up no runs on three hits, one walk,...
