The list is extensive and littered with our favorite names: David Ortiz. Dustin Pedroia. Xander Bogaerts. Jackie Bradley, Jr. Clay Buchholz. Shane Victorino. And on and on. These are the players who have played below [or severely below] expectations or career norms in...

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...

The Red Sox pushed their loosing streak to an even 8 games over the weekend, after they were swept by the Seattle Mariners. On Friday the match-up of Felix Hernandez and Joe Kelly seemed to greatly favor Seattle on paper, but the contest didn’t come quite as...

Just when it seemed like Clay Buchholz was finding himself on the mound, the Red Sox right-hander took a giant step backwards on Wednesday night. The 29-year old endured his first bad start since the start of the month, as he allowed 6 earned run in as many innings...

The Red Sox continued their winning ways on Wednesday by completing a 2 game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds. In his second career major league start, Red Sox righty Anthony Ranaudo wasn’t as crisp as he was in his major league debut, but managed to hold the Reds...

Although the Red Sox ended up trading long-time ace Jon Lester at the deadline, they did get a pretty good player in return from the A’s in Yoenis Cespedes. GM Ben Cherington acknowledged that Boston fielded some attractive offers involving prospects prior to dealing...

The Boston Red Sox started off an 8-game road trip with a series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals before nearly sweeping the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend. With only two games left before heading back to the confines of Fenway Park, the Red Sox look like a team...

After a week hiatus from @firebrandal “Tweets of the Week” we return with this past week’s best tweets from Red Sox Nation. I hope everyone enjoyed the short-lived west coast trip out to Anaheim because I know our east coasters really enjoy 19-inning...
by Harry Burnham | Aug 10, 2014 | Allen Webster, Boston Red Sox, Clay Buchholz, Henry Owens, Joe Kelly, Jon Lester, Josh Beckett
The knee-jerk, hot-off-the-press answer, in my opinion, would be yes. Before anyone gets too angry, take a minute and think. Obviously, people want to remember the second-MLB start no-hitter, or the 2013 streak of best pitcher in the world. But I really don’t...

In the rubber match of a three game series, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, by a final score of 5-2. Red Sox starter Brandon Workman put his team behind early in the game, as he allowed 3 first inning runs to cross the plate....
