Now would be a really, really convenient time for the Red Sox to start hitting again. Just spray those line drives all over the pl- oh. They’re playing the Orioles. Whelp, time to consider every line drive hit as an out, since all Baltimore does is catch them....

Summertime brings warm weather, trips to the beach… and prospect writers unveiling their updated Red Sox prospects rankings. I’ve taken a look at how the rankings have changed for the Red Sox top prospects from preseason to midseason. One caveat to these rankings is...

Well, that series was just a lesson in depression, wasn’t it? Sox get a CG hurled against them twice, and the last game is rained out. Yeesh. It’s starting to feel like crunch time, and the dog days of August haven’t even hit yet. At this point, the...

“It means the world to me to put on this uniform everyday and to try to represent this city the right way.” Dustin Pedroia — July 24, 2013 As you undoubtedly know by now, Dustin Pedroia and the Red Sox held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon...

Now that I think about it, a split of this series would be fine as well. It would keep the Rays at bay, even if there’s only 1.5 games of breathing room left. Guess who learned not to throw cutters in 0-2 counts yesterday? Yep, Jon Lester did! And it worked very...

The boom finally dropped yesterday around noon, with the Red Sox and star 2B Dustin Pedroia agreeing to terms on a contract extension that will ensure he remains a member of the Boston Red Sox through his age 38 season. The deal, once it’s made official pending a...

With C.C. Sabathia on the mound, Jose Iglesias dropped a cheeky bunt that landed between Robinson Cano, Lyle Overbay, and C.C. It was, no doubt, a brilliant bunt that was perfectly placed. It was also indicative of who Jose Iglesias is as a hitter. On a night when...

Sort of an “out of the frying pan, into the fire” situation for the Red Sox here, huh? They just finish with a hard-fought series victory over the New York Yankees only to run into the magma-hot Rays from St. Pete. We always want more baseball, and this...
