The first thing you probably said when you looked at the starting rotation of the 2015 Red Sox this morning probably wasn’t “yeah, this’ll work”. Knowing you, it was probably something like “eh”, “meh”, or a statement...

In a way, baseball is like the game of thrones: you win or you die – in baseball’s case, the media skewers you with verbal & written attacks, so in a way, it’s more like a character assassination. Not to say that GoT doesn’t have actual...

A handful of rookie pitchers have made their debuts for the Red Sox in 2014, but despite flying under the radar, their latest call-up, Matt Barnes, might have the brightest future of them all. 2014 has been a trying year for the Red Sox, but fans have at least gotten...
