One of the biggest strengths of last year’s Red Sox team was the strong performances the squad got from its bench spots. Indeed, Boston’s depth proved crucial in taking advantage of platoon pairings on a nightly basis, softening the blow of any injuries to starters,...

Aside from nearly getting no-hit by Yu Darvish on Friday night, the Red Sox 3 game series in Texas was another step in the right direction. Jon Lester took the hill for Boston on Saturday, and allowed 3 runs over 7 innings of work. In support of Lester, Shane...

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...

Thankfully, April is over (although May has been far from kind to us so far). The Red Sox ended the opening month of the 2014 season with a sub .500 record at 13-14. Now, the team that came into this season wanting to “Turn the Page” is heading into a new...
