In case you’ve missed it, the Red Sox have lost an astounding nine games in a row. That’s nearly three times their longest losing streak from last season, when they dropped three straight only three times the entire season. Call it bad luck, injuries, poor...

An odd thing happened in the Portland Sea Dog’s game last Sunday. Top prospect Mookie Betts started in center field in that game, instead of his normal second base. With Jackie Bradley Jr. and Grady Sizemore struggling, this raises the question of whether the Red Sox...

The Red Sox finally climbed back to the .500 mark after defeating the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. Jake Peavy toed the slab for Boston and tossed an effective 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits. However, Reds starter Mike Leake held the Red Sox offense in...

Felix Doubront and Homer Bailey squared off on Tuesday, in the first of two games between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds. Both starters pitched very “bend but don’t break” games for their respective clubs. For the Red Sox, Doubront...

Alright, it’s that time of the year. We’ve just wrapped up the first month of baseball and I thought I might give out some grades to some of Boston’s newest residents. I’m going to look at their performance on the field and any other criteria I...

He was the story of the spring, the 31-year-old outfielder signed on a one-year flyer after myriad injuries knocked him out of professional baseball for over two years. Heading into the 2014 season, Grady Sizemore looked like he might just become the story of the...

For starters, let’s be clear: the 2014 Red Sox have not played good defense. Not by any stretch. Right now, this is the 26th ranked team in the league in terms of Ultimate Zone rating, with a mark of -9.2, after a 2013 in which they ranked 10th with a 21.6 mark in the...

The Boston Red Sox stand at 12-13 through almost a complete month of the seasonand are only 2.5 games behind the New York Yankees for the top spot in the AL East. After a slow start with the offense, pieces are starting to come back and the Red Sox have started to win...

Ladies and Gentlemen. This is the player the Red Sox were willing to hand the starting center field job to. Obviously, last year didnt quite go as planned, but from here on out, Jackie Bradley is here to stay. I’ll admit it, I’m about as big of a Daniel...
