The newly crowned last place Red Sox opened up a 4 game series against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Clay Buchholz made his third start since returning from the disabled list, and was opposed by Chicago’s sinker-baller Scott Carroll. Home runs...

A number of factors have led to the Red Sox’s offensive woes in 2014, most notably the club’s subpar outfield production and Boston’s inability to replace departed players such as Jacoby Ellsbury and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. But the middle of the Red Sox lineup hasn’t...

It’s not a secret that the Red Sox have been taking on water ever since they touted a 20-19 record on May 14th. Even though a lot of blame has been placed on injuries, the sheer ineptitude of some players has been just as much of a culprit. Sure, you can point...

The Red Sox’s deep and potent offense was one of the hallmarks of the club’s World Series run in 2013. From the top of the order to the bottom, Boston boasted hitters who could do damage to the opposition and also work the count, making it a tough task for opposing...

Thursday night, the Red Sox added three high upside prospects to their minor league system in the 2014 first year player draft. Early reviews of the Sox haul have been positive, with Keith Law from ESPN declaring them one of his winners from the first night. The first...

With the Red Sox idle on Thursday, the team turned its attention to the 2014 first year player draft. Boston entered the night with the 26th and 33rd overall picks, the latter of which came as compensation for losing Jacoby Ellsbury in free agency. With their first...

There’s a new center fielder in town. Jackie Bradley Jr., through his considerable skill set, is now entrenched in center field for the foreseeable future. Out with the (relatively) old, in with the new, as they say. Bradley, however, has a tool that seems to be...

As the old saying goes, “all good things must come to and end”. For the Red Sox, their “good thing” ended on Monday night, when the Cleveland Indians snapped Boston’s seven game winning streak. Former Red Sox pitcher Justin Masterson...

After taking the first two games of the series in Atlanta, the Red Sox returned to Fenway Park to complete their 4 game set with the Braves. John Lackey took the hill for Boston turned in 6.1 innings of shutout work, striking out 9, and allowing just 5 hits. Behind...

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...
