We’re well into Spring Training now, and that means a couple things. First off, baseball season is almost here, which we can all agree is a great thing. But the second thing is that one of my personal favorite sports games, MLB: The Show, just released their latest...

The Portland Sea Dogs are absolutely stacked this season Top prospects Xander Bogaerts and Matt Barnes will likely start the season in Portland, two big reasons to pay attention to the Sea Dogs. Beyond that, though, Portland is stacked with other players who have a...

So, I decided to see a Spring Training game on Thursday between the Cubs & Dodgers. Here’s a short summary: STOP BUNTING DODGERS I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE. Players will come and go. That’s the hard truth we have to acknowledge. Loyalty won’t...

The Red Sox’ offense took a hit Monday when it was announced that slugging designated hitter David Ortiz would miss the first few weeks of the season, or more, with inflammation in his heels. Now, the Sox may be missing another key bat come Opening Day. Stephen Drew,...

The 2013 New York Yankees are one heck of an interesting bet. It’s not quite black/red, high/low or odd/even, but you can rest assured that outcomes in baseball really aren’t all that complicated. In fact, there are only three kinds of baseball seasons in...

I hope all of you are knee-deep in fantasy baseball drafts at this point, and I bid you all good luck. Quick tip: I wouldn’t draft Roy Halladay at any point before the 10th round. Clay Buchholz is having a solid March down in Ft. Myers. The groundballer is...
by bcowett | Mar 12, 2013 | Boston Red Sox, Trivia
Fire Brand Trivia! It comes down to you! Question: In the last 5 seasons, only one player with over 200 plate appearances on the Red Sox had a walk-to-strikeout rate (BB/K) over 1. Who is he? (This question is a one-and-done, so only the response with the correct...

Can we be honest with each other? Yes? David Ortiz is not likely to be ready for Opening Day. I know… I know… I heard the 5-7 day projection, but that was not a projection until he will be ready, that is the prescription for rest. He could be rushed back,...

There is no shortage of opinions when it comes to patrons of The Internet and the Red Sox farm system. Boston’s minor league talent has become a focal point for fans at a time when our prospects are good and our major league team more challenged on paper than it has...

The lesson learned here, everyone, is never have a foot injury. Ever. It ruins everything, apparently. A few days ago, David Ortiz was running, and now…this. Disappointing? Sure. Season-derailing? Not really. He’ll be back soon enough. (Red Sox to shut...
