Red Sox Trivia! It’s a fall classic too! Question: Who led the 2004 Red Sox in fWAR? No search engines or keyword searches, and no Fangraphs, obviously. Previous Question Answer: Good ole’ Ironsides. Jonny Gomes was ridiculous batting in high leverage...

Seriously, MLB? You’ve got to make us wait three days until you can start the World Series? And I thought I was anxious before all this… It’s been an inspirational run to the Fall Classic for the Red Sox. They’ve been a complete unit the entire...

The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals are both very good teams, and that is why they are meeting in the World Series. The Red Sox finished first in the majors in runs scored, doubles, OBP and OPS. Their pitching staff finished 14th in the league in ERA, seventh...

After five grueling, tension-filled games, the Red Sox will be back home at Fenway Park on Saturday night. For this piece, I looked to see how the Red Sox have fared in either a game six or game seven at Fenway over the club’s history. It turns out they haven’t...

So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to live past my 40s thanks to the playoffs. It’s okay, I’d probably be really bored in retirement anyway. The Red Sox scored four runs! And this time, they didn’t need a single swing from...

I believe in the value of sabermetrics and I also believe in baseball voodoo magic, so take that how you will. — Daniel Poarch (@PoarchDaniel) October 17, 2013 I’m a pretty normal and reasonable guy.

What I’m not wild about: I’m honestly not that impressed with John Farrell’s performance in the playoffs I mean sure – the results have been there – but it feels like sooner or later one of those poor decisions will come back to bite him. Odd stuff like not pinch...

Three straight one-run games. Two with the Red Sox scoring in the 7th inning or later. I’m just withering away from the stress I’m feeling right now. Improbable? Yeah, very. Impossible? Definitely not. The Red Sox, despite creating gale-force winds with...

I’m sure y’all drank plenty when the Red Sox dramatically defeated the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of the ALCS. I know you were. I saw you all packing the bars around Fenway after the game. Now that we’ve all sobered up. It’s time to play the...
