Thankfully, April is over (although May has been far from kind to us so far). The Red Sox ended the opening month of the 2014 season with a sub .500 record at 13-14. Now, the team that came into this season wanting to “Turn the Page” is heading into a new...

The Red Sox and Yankees kicked off their second series of the 2014 season on Tuesday. With Jon Lester and Masahiro Tanaka on the mound, game 1 had the makings of a pitchers duel, but fell short of its expectations. Lester endured his first poor start of the 2014...

Boston celebrated Patriots day on Monday, which meant that the Red Sox held their annual 11 AM game to commemorate the holiday. Boston sent Clay Buchholz to the hill in hopes the righty could settle into a groove. However, Buchholz start was short lived, as the 30...

When the Red Sox and Yankees meet, the stories usually write themselves. Whether it’s a big play, an extra innings marathon, or a close contest, there is always something to talk about the next day. Thursday’s game was no exception, as Michael Pineda and...

Through one full rotation of the starters, the Boston Red Sox stand at 2-3 and have lost two straight at Fenway Park to the Milwaukee Brewers due to lack of offensive and bullpen struggles after the bullpen did not allow a single run in the Baltimore Orioles series....

Every month during the season, here on Fire Brand, I take a look at the relative value of the 25 players on the current active roster. The criteria for the power rankings: 1) What is the value of each player on the Red Sox roster relative to the other players? If a...

Clay Buchholz ended his spring on a high note on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right hander tossed 6 innings and surrendered 2 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 5. Buchholz was backed up by the Red Sox offense that pushed across 4 runs, including a solo...

The Red Sox surprised exactly no one when they optioned Allen Webster to the minor leagues before last Monday’s game. Put simply, Webster has been a mixed bag this spring, allowing seven runs and seven walks in 12 innings pitched, while occasionally flashing his...
