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...

It has been nearly a month, but the Boston Red Sox will finally have their full lineup Friday night in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Will Middlebrooks, who got hurt four games into the season with a calf strain, will be activated from the 15-day DL before...

It was certainly a night to forget at Fenway Park on Thursday, as the Red Sox and Yankees meet in the final game of a three game set. Boston sent Felix Doubront to the hill and watched him surrender 7 runs(3 earned) on 6 hits, before finally pulling him from the game...

He did it again. Reprising his role as the “pitcher who can’t hide his pine tar”, Yankees starter Michael Pineda took the mound in the second inning of Wednesday’s game with pine tar smeared on his neck. John Farrell then decided that enough...

The Red Sox and Yankees kicked off their second series of the 2014 season on Tuesday. With Jon Lester and Masahiro Tanaka on the mound, game 1 had the makings of a pitchers duel, but fell short of its expectations. Lester endured his first poor start of the 2014...

Boston celebrated Patriots day on Monday, which meant that the Red Sox held their annual 11 AM game to commemorate the holiday. Boston sent Clay Buchholz to the hill in hopes the righty could settle into a groove. However, Buchholz start was short lived, as the 30...

We got our first look at Xander Bogaerts: Major League Shortstop on August 20, 2013; an 0-for-3 effort against the San Francisco Giants. Bogaerts was fresh off of decimating minor league hitting – as he had been known to do – to the tune of a .374 wOBA in AAA, and we...

Last week, a Koji Uehara injury scare led to Edward Mujica picking up a save in his place against the New York Yankees. I asked you, the readers, to tell me who you thought should be Koji’s primary back up going forward, and the results were interesting....

The numbers for Mookie Betts so far this season border on the ridiculous: a .453/.492/.717 batting line with 24 hits in 13 games. It’s a miniscule sample, but on the heels of so much success the year before, it validates the belief that Betts is one of the best...

After dropping Friday’s game to the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox took the weekend games of the 4 game set. On Saturday, the club was backed by a suburb outing by Felix Doubront and an RBI triple by Brock Holt, en route to a 4-2 final. On Sunday, Jake Peavy...
