The Red Sox’s deep and potent offense was one of the hallmarks of the club’s World Series run in 2013. From the top of the order to the bottom, Boston boasted hitters who could do damage to the opposition and also work the count, making it a tough task for opposing...

After dropping 2 of 3 games in Detroit over the weekend, the Red Sox opened up a series with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Red Sox sent Jake Peavy to the hill, while the Orioles countered with right-hander Bud Norris. Similar to starts past this season, Jake...

After snapping their 10 game losing streak on Monday, the Red Sox looked to build off their first win in over 2 weeks. In the second game of a four game home-and-home series against the Atlanta Braves, Jon Lester toed the rubber for the Sox and was opposed by veteran...

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 Red Sox and Stephen Drew coming to terms on a one-year deal on Tuesday was both unexpected and unsurprising. The news broke out of nowhere on an otherwise normal afternoon, but it also came in response to growing evidence that Ben Cherington needed to upgrade...

After an off day on Monday, the Red Sox played host to the Toronto Blue Jays for the first time this season on Tuesday. A pair of left handers squared off in game 1 of the series as Felix Doubront was opposed by Toronto hurler J.A. Happ. For the Red Sox, Doubront...

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...

Thankfully, April is over (although May has been far from kind to us so far). The Red Sox ended the opening month of the 2014 season with a sub .500 record at 13-14. Now, the team that came into this season wanting to “Turn the Page” is heading into a new...

In the 2013 regular season the Red Sox committed 80 errors in 162 games. That total ranked them as the eight best team in the Majors and the fifth best in the American League (although strangely enough only fourth best in their own division behind Baltimore, Tampa...

Here’s a cherry on top of the World Series championship of 2013: Last week, ESPN ranked the Red Sox as number one in their Future Power Rankings, the franchise “best equipped for success over the next half decade”. This ranking looked at five categories for the...
