The Red Sox were finally able to snap their 8 game losing skid on Monday night, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays by a final score of 4-3 in 10 innings. While he wasn’t part of the final decision, Clay Buchholz turned in one of his best performances of the 2014...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

It was a quiet off day in Red Sox Nation, as the team headed back to Fenway after a weekend in Toronto. Boston is set to meet the Tampa Bay Rays for the first time this year, as John Lackey squares off against Erik Bedard. Like the Red Sox, the Rays have stumbled out...

When the Red Sox and the Cardinals get together, you know you’re in for a good game. Unless of course, the Red Sox are starting Chris Capuano. While he was part of a World Series winning squad, Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s tenure in Boston ended on a pretty...

It was a busy weekend down on Fort Myers. After handily beating those pesky college kids, the Red Sox played their first two exhibition game of the spring against the Twins and the Orioles. NESN aired their first game of the spring. Oh, and Mike Napoli hit a home run...

It’s the Winter Meetings! Time to watch as some rich guys talk about bad trades while we just sit here and laugh at them. Wait…that isn’t what you do? Jon Lester is entering the final year of his contract, and the Red Sox are very interested in...

I’ve been surprised by how little negative reaction there has been in Boston to Jacoby Ellsbury leaving the Red Sox and signing with the Yankees. Most of this seems to stem from feelings that Ellsbury was overpriced, and the Red Sox were wise to let him go. While the...
