The human heart is essential for life. It pumps blood through our system and without it, a person can’t live. The same applies to the heart of a baseball order and a team’s success. A team could have a flailing heart that could lead to a dead offense, much...

The Boston Red Sox have made some roster decisions prior to Thursday’s contest against the Minnesota Twins at Hammond Park. There are 12 players that won’t be at major league game and a little more than half were reassigned to minor league camp. Bryce...

It was a quiet day down in Fort Myers on Wednesday. The defending world champs enjoyed their first off day of the spring, which left us with nothing to do… Baseball wasn’t completely on hold on Wednesday. Felix Doubront pitched in a minor league game...

Felix Doubront has been a polarizing player since becoming a member of the Red Sox rotation back in 2012. The left-hander has been both lauded for his stuff and strikeout ability and criticized for his persistent control problems and a perceived subpar work...

While it might not seem like they’ve been playing for long, Wednesday marks the first day since February 27th that the Red Sox won’t play a game. Yes, baseball is back. Every day there seems to be a new storyline involving Grady Sizemore. Tuesday was no...

Shane Victorino made his spring training debut Monday. Predictably, he ended his first at-bat with a hit by pitch. Some things never change. Not only did Monday mark Jon Lester’s first start of the spring, but it also marked the first in-game action between...

Polls are back! With the new season approaching, we’re going to get back to weekly polls regarding recent news, events, and other general inanity. Before we talk about this week’s poll, however, let’s take a look at our offseason question. No...
