It was certainly a night to forget at Fenway Park on Thursday, as the Red Sox and Yankees meet in the final game of a three game set. Boston sent Felix Doubront to the hill and watched him surrender 7 runs(3 earned) on 6 hits, before finally pulling him from the game...

He did it again. Reprising his role as the “pitcher who can’t hide his pine tar”, Yankees starter Michael Pineda took the mound in the second inning of Wednesday’s game with pine tar smeared on his neck. John Farrell then decided that enough...

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...

It was a classic pitchers duel on Thursday night as the Red Sox and White Sox met in the rubber match of the three game set. Jon Lester took the hill for the Red Sox and was perfect for 5.1 innings, tossing 8 frames overall of 7 hit, 1 run baseball. Outside of Xander...

The Red Sox and Rangers met for the rubber game of the 3 game series at Fenway Park on Wednesday. Jake Peavy took the mound for Boston for the second time this season. The right hander tossed 6.2 strong innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits and 4 walks, while...

The Red Sox and Hitting with Runners in Scoring Position

by askillin | Apr 9, 2014 | 2014 Boston Red Sox, Boston Red Sox, Daniel Nava, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Jackie Bradley, Xander Bogaerts

Not everything has gone smoothly for the Red Sox during their 3-5 start to the season. They’ve made some uncharacteristic mistakes in the field, lost a couple games thanks to a leaky bullpen, and—perhaps most frustrating of all—been woeful as a team at the...

Shane Victorino Placed on DL, Jackie Bradley Called Up

by broach | Mar 31, 2014 | 2014 Boston Red Sox, Daniel Nava, Jackie Bradley, Mike Carp, Shane Victorino

After a MRI yesterday on his right hamstring, Shane Victorino just needed to pass an exam this morning in order to fly to Baltimore. There must have been no signs of improvement because he was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 30, according to...

The Red Sox and Yankees met for the first time this spring on Tuesday afternoon. Felix Doubront encountered a speed bump in his other wise smooth spring, allowing 7 runs on 10 hits over 3.2 innings. Meanwhile, Boston’s lack luster line-up didn’t offer much...

I don’t care if it’s spring training, after back-to-back televised games, you can’t go back to radio-only broadcasts. I’m starting to think this whole “spring training” thing is a big tease. Without a pure lead-off hitter on the...

Analyzing Projections, Part 1

by dpoarch | Feb 9, 2014 | A.J. Pierzynski, Boston Red Sox, Daniel Nava, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli

Projections are fun. The season hasn’t yet begun, so when you project a player’s performance, they are whoever you want them to be. Does Matt Kemp stay healthy? Does Mike Trout break 10 WAR again? Are the rumors of Jose Bautista’s demise unfounded? You get to decide....
