In the nine years Pawtucket has held a Bobblehead Doll Night promotion, never before had a former PawSox who’s been with Boston played in a rehab game the night his Bobblehead was being given to fans who entered McCoy Stadium. Jacoby Ellsbury put his name in...

Kevin Youkilis left last night’s game in the 4th inning with an ankle injury. At the moment, it appears he’ll be fine — the word out of Fenway is that he’ll be in the lineup tonight. Still, the sight of Youk leaving the game yesterday must have...

Injuries Mounting With mounting injuries again threatening to send the Red Sox into an extended nosedive, the team will again attempt to dance between the raindrops as it awaits the return of its fallen comrades. -Jeremy Hermida succumbing to rib fractures in much the...

Red Sox offense is in good shape. The local nine is second in runs scored and OPS. The lineup has been legit even with Jeremy Hermida (649 OPS) and Darnell McDonald (746 OPS) getting 246 of the 1920 Red Sox at-bats or 12.8%. The other seven regulars are collectively...

With the 2010 Amateur Draft just around the corner (Monday June 7 through Wednesday, June 9), I wanted to spend this week’s column looking back at the previous best and worst picks of the Theo Epstein era, an era in which the strength of the minor league system...

Daisuke Rolling With all the issues the Red Sox rotation has faced this season, there is nothing better than to see Daisuke Matsuzaka stepping up into at the right time. Throwing a one-hitter in Philadelphia on Saturday, there has been some speculation that Daisuke...

Before Jacoby Ellsbury stepped on McCoy Stadium’s turf yesterday for his first rehab game, Pawtucket Red Sox manager Torey Lovullo posed a question. “I asked him ‘What are your thoughts on playing the game wide-open?,” Lovullo said after a game against Syracuse. “He...

These past two nights, we’ve gotten a glimpse of what this team could look like with things going right. Strong pitching performances by Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester, backed by an offense that at worst grinds down opposing pitchers and at best can be explosive,...

As the baseball season enters the second month, what is the lasting impression from the Red Sox start? The mighty struggles David Ortiz, and his decreased role as of late? Starting the month with two center-fielders in the outfield and finishing it with two...

I wanted to avoid writing about the pitching staff today, but the lack of strikeouts by our team is starting to get concerning. It’s not just a few pitchers, it is all of them. Anyway one thing I found today that I thought shouldn’t go unnoticed was Marco...
