After all the trade fallout this weekend the Red Sox find themselves with a new member to the rotation in Erik Bedard. This is very good news with rumors circulating that Clay Buchholz has a stress fracture in his back and will miss the remainder of the regular season...

I feel like my writing about Andrew Miller might be bordering on overkill, but you know what, he’s just not that good of a pitcher. In yesterday’s game, Miller went 5.2 innings while allowing no run and two hits, but he walked six batters to only three...

by Troy Patterson | Jul 11, 2011 | John Lackey, Kyle Weiland
Surely Weiland is not one of the Red Sox top prospects and was rated #18 in the system to start 2011 by John Sickels, but he got his first taste of the majors on Sunday and showed his youth with a lack of control. He was promoted due to the Red Sox pitching rotation...

by charliesap | Jun 30, 2011 | Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz, John Lackey, Jon Lester, Josh Reddick
John Lackey has been the target of many angry Red Sox fans as well as the media. We here at Fire Brand are guilty of that as well. However, that isn’t to say that Lackey hasn’t earned at least some of the criticism that has been fired his way. For one,...
