After taking three of four from the Detroit Tigers, the Boston Red Sox (26-25) take off to the Great White North for a weekend set with the Toronto Blue Jays (27-24). The Blue Jays seem to be doing their annual “We look better than we are” routine, but...
by Mike Simmons | May 29, 2012 | David Price, Felix Doubront, Pitch F/x
Alex wrote about Doubront’s fine start earlier today, so I’m on the Felix bandwagon with a look at his stuff. The phrase I recall hearing during Spring Training was something about a guy with five plus pitches. Given that hype, perhaps we shouldn’t...
by aconvery | May 29, 2012 | Felix Doubront
If you had to guess before the season started which pitcher in Boston’s starting rotation would have the lowest ERA entering June, you would have guessed incorrectly. Most would have said Jon Lester, some would have spoken in Josh Beckett’s favor, and maybe even a few...

Having lost the series against the Rays on a tough loss on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox (23-24) welcome the Detroit Tigers (23-24) to Fenway Park for a four-game series. Detroit hasn’t had the start that most expected them to have this season, but the talent is...

The Boston Red Sox (15-19) finish their current homestand with a two-game series against the Seattle Mariners (16-20). The Mariners aren’t setting the world on fire lately but are 5-5 in their last 10 games, which is pretty good for the Mariners. Then again, the...

Having lost two of three to the lowly Royals, the Boston Red Sox (12-18) return to Fenway Park to start a six-game homestand against the first place Cleveland Indians (17-15). First place? Somebody get Harry Doyle some more Jack Daniels. STARTING PITCHERS –...

The Red Sox (11-16) get out of town, and none too soon, to play a three-game series against the lowly Kansas City Royals (9-18). The Royals have some talent but not enough to, you know, consistently win. The Royals will host the 2012 MLB All-Star Game to celebrate the...

This is a pretty long mailbag, so I’m just going to hop right into it. No time for discussion. No time for clever narratives today. It’s all mail, all the time. I hope you have a strong stomach because you’re really going to need it today…...

The Boston Red Sox (10-11) return to Fenway Park tonight after an almost perfect 6-1 road trip to take on the Oakland Athletics (11-12) in the first of a three-game set. The Athletics have played better than expected so far in 2012 but, as always, the question is for...
