With the second half starting Friday, there are plenty of burning questions surrounding the last-place Red Sox. Here are the five most important ones: 1) Buyers or sellers? The July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is fast approaching and the Red Sox find themselves in a...

If losing the first game of the series against the Cubs wasn’t bad enough, the Red Sox were nearly no-hit by Chicago’s starter Jake Arrieta on Monday night. The Cubs right-hander was just 4 outs away from tossing the teams first no-hitter in 6 years,...

After an extended hiatus, 3 Up 3 Down returns to give you a look at who performed well and who did not over the past week of Red Sox baseball. After what has been a tumultuous season (that could be the understatement of the season), the Boston Red Sox, after taking 2...

It’s not a secret that the Red Sox have been taking on water ever since they touted a 20-19 record on May 14th. Even though a lot of blame has been placed on injuries, the sheer ineptitude of some players has been just as much of a culprit. Sure, you can point...

An odd thing happened in the Portland Sea Dog’s game last Sunday. Top prospect Mookie Betts started in center field in that game, instead of his normal second base. With Jackie Bradley Jr. and Grady Sizemore struggling, this raises the question of whether the Red Sox...

Another game, another shoddy start and subsequent loss for the Red Sox; this time it was Clay Buchholz spoiling Boston’s chances to end a 5 game losing skid. The slender right-hander was hit hard by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night, allowing 5 runs on 9...

The good news is the Red Sox didn’t extend their losing streak on Monday, because they didn’t play. The team enjoyed their third off day this month after being swept by the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. Boston will start their climb back to .500 on...

The Boston Red Sox stand at 20-22 after a tough three-game losing streak, including two straight at home against the Detroit Tigers. They have lost four of their last five contests and are 2.5 games behind both the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. Sure, the...

Despite their best efforts, the Red Sox failed to complete a comeback over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. After Jake Peavy put the team in an early hole by allowing 6 runs in 4.1 innings, the Red Sox bats battled back and knotted the game at 6 in the seventh inning....

After wrapping up a series win in Texas on Sunday, the Red Sox enjoyed their third day off in the last 10 days. On the final leg of their road trip, the Red Sox head to Minnesota to face the Twins for a 3 games series. Boston will send Felix Doubront to the mound on...
