We’re all well aware of JBJ’s prodigious struggles over the past two seasons. It’s been frustrating, painful, and just plain sad to see one of the Sox’ former top prospects look so completely lost at the plate. I don’t want to discount what he’s done in the field,...

When the Red Sox signed Rusney Castillo to a seven-year, $72 million deal a couple weeks ago, they made it clear as to who will be playing center field for the club next season and beyond. Castillo’s addition, along with the arrivals of Yoenis Cespedes and Allen Craig...

Surprise, surprise. The Red Sox are out of it. Okay, that may not be STRICTLY true, strictly as in mathematically speaking. To be precise, Boston’s elimination number remains at 11. Their elimination number being the number of losses (or wins by a leading team)...

The list is extensive and littered with our favorite names: David Ortiz. Dustin Pedroia. Xander Bogaerts. Jackie Bradley, Jr. Clay Buchholz. Shane Victorino. And on and on. These are the players who have played below [or severely below] expectations or career norms in...

The Red Sox pushed their loosing streak to an even 8 games over the weekend, after they were swept by the Seattle Mariners. On Friday the match-up of Felix Hernandez and Joe Kelly seemed to greatly favor Seattle on paper, but the contest didn’t come quite as...

Just when it seemed like Clay Buchholz was finding himself on the mound, the Red Sox right-hander took a giant step backwards on Wednesday night. The 29-year old endured his first bad start since the start of the month, as he allowed 6 earned run in as many innings...

At this point of the 2014 season, wins and losses don’t really even matter anymore for the Red Sox. Instead, each game Boston fans try and extract little nuggets of good to keep themselves optimistic about the team going forward. Tuesday night was no different...

A number of Red Sox hitters have struggled to perform in line with their preseason expectations in 2014, a reality that has become painfully obvious to observers at this point. As Jackie Bradley Jr. has endured a near-historic season of futility offensively, Boston’s...
