Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...

As we all know, Daisuke Matsuzaka came out of last night’s game with shoulder fatigue, not making it into the fifth inning. He was taken off the hook for a loss by Manny Ramirez’s 499th homer later in the game. Matsuzaka said that he experienced the same...

It might not be fair to say Bartolo Colon is back to his Cy Young-self just yet with only two starts under his belt, but it is fair to say Colon is pitching very effectively for Boston. After last night’s performance, Colon dropped his ERA to 2.25 and improved...

Clay Buchholz was under orders from headquarters to throw primarily fastballs in a rehab start Sunday for the Pawtucket Red Sox against the Rochester Red Wings. That

Jon Lester’s no hitter this week has been plenty of fodder for bloggers everywhere. I’ll be no exception as this post was in part inspired by the performance of the young lefty on Monday night. In this week’s episode of the Fireside Chats Red Sox...

Justin Masterson had a tough act to follow after Jon Lester’s no-hitter last night. So, Masterson just followed that up with a gem of his own earning his first major league win in the 2-1 contest against the Kansas City Royals. Masterson threw for 6 1/3 innings...

The poll question submitted by Jc in response to winning a trivia question and results are: What should the Red Sox do when Bartolo Colon returns? Send Buchholz to Pawtucket 63% of all votes Send one of the listed to the pen/demote a reliever 18% of all votes Make...
by evan brunell | May 14, 2008 | Clay Buchholz
The Red Sox placed Clay Buchholz on the 15-day DL with a broken fingernail. He will (obviously) miss his start Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers, and there’s no word who will replace him. This would have been where it would be nice to have Julian Tavarez, no?...

Clay Buchholz has shown glimpses of brilliance in his young career. His last three starts since giving up an eighth inning two run home run to Akinori Iwamura in Tampa Bay after a brilliant one hitter to that point have not been that brilliant. Since Iwamura’s...

Even with an early lead the Boston Red Sox managed to let one slip away as the starting pitching woes continue. Entering the bottom of the first inning with a 3-0 lead Clay Buccholz allowed two runs to come in and then five more followed before his night was over as...
