Having swept the Rays, the Boston Red Sox (8-4, leading the AL East by 1.5 games) travel to the southern shore of Lake Erie to take on the Cleveland Indians (5-6, third place in the AL Central, 1.5 games back) in a three-game series. This will be the first time this...

Today’s game is at 11:05 AM Eastern time, or 8:05 my time. That means I’m going to miss it, since I’m doing this post & a report on the adaptation of Moneyball to the big screen the night before. Clay Buchholz just seems to be getting better as...

Through the entire offseason, one of the main points analysts everywhere hammered home about the Red Sox was this: the team’s success will ride on the arms of top pitchers Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz. Well so far, so good. The duo has combined to allow only four runs...

With another week of baseball in the books, the Boston Red Sox stand at an impressive 5-4 due to the combination of rock solid starting pitching, consistent and timely hitting, and an unyielding bullpen that seems to be finding its groove (well, with the exception of...

After losing two of three against the Orioles, the Boston Red Sox (5-4, tied for first in the AL East) finish their homestand with a four- three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays (4-5, one game back in the AL East). The Rays usually get by with pitching and...

So the Sox lost a series. It happens. It was inevitable. I mean, I’d be pretty damn happy if the Sox won every series too, but that’s just not plausible. I’m not going to lie. That was a painful series to watch. Let’s give it one more final...

After winning their first two road series of the season, the Boston Red Sox (4-2, first place in the AL East) come home to Fenway Park for their opening series against the Baltimore Orioles (3-3, 1 game back in the AL East). Baltimore was one of the surprises of 2012,...

The long spring is over and we have regular season baseball. We have a chance to get our first true Major League glimpse of young prospects Jose Iglesias and Jackie Bradley Jr. We get a newfound hope that John Lackey, Jon Lester, and Clay Buchholz will turn their...

After earning a series win in the Bronx, the Boston Red Sox (2-1, tied for first in the AL East) go to the Great White North to take on the new-look Toronto Blue Jays (1-2, tied for third in the AL East). In Toronto, you definitely can’t tell your players...

We’re three games into the season, and we essentially know nothing about the 2013 Red Sox. Well, that’s not exactly true. If you’ve visited this blog or have been living in New England at all for the past six months, you’ve probably read a little Red Sox analysis here...
