Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
The Nationals offense has shown they can beat teams in several ways. They can hit for power, string together hits and play some small ball. However, they showed a new element last night. The Nats took advantage of 12 walks to beat the Braves and put up 11 runs. This was the first time since […]
Welcome to the second edition of the revamped Rivalry Roundup! The Yankees were able to address one of their main rivals head-on last night, blanking the Red Sox behind a sterling effort from Luis Gil and a power display from Giancarlo Stanton. Even if it’s April 22nd, there’s never a bad time to see the […]
Worcester: L, 3-12 (BOX SCORE) This opening game against the Mets was never in doubt. The WooSox were dominated all night and had just one extra base hit, a double by Nick Sogard. Meanwhile, the pitching staff started off on a semi-wrong foot with Isaac Coffey failing to get out of the fourth inning despite […]
Oh, you thought the Red Sox had pitching depth? Lol, you’re cute. This is 2026, finding actual pitching depth is harder than transiting Hormuz. And with the Sox already looking for arms, Craig Breslow is turning to a AA pitcher who has never thown a single inning of MLB ball. Eduardo Rivera, the 33rd ranked […]
There are landmark moments in the histories of baseball teams that signal the shift in the organization’s trajectory. Years of poorly-assembled starting rotations squandered the primes of Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson, contributing to a 17-year World Series drought and multiples seasons of playoff-less baseball in the Bronx. The 1990s brought a renewed […]
New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells entered Tuesday’s series opener against the Red Sox with a disappointing .180/.344/.260 line, one home run, two RBI, and a 78 wRC+. For a player who posted a 107 wRC+ in 2024 and a 94 mark last year, it’s certainly a step back. By now, we all know that […]
There have been a lot of words spilled about the Mets and the Giants and the Blue Jays and the Red Sox potentially ending their October dreams, well, already. Seeing things like “only 3% of teams playing this poorly have gone on to make the playoffs” makes it sound like a done deal. But for […]
Losing is no fun. If it’s to the North Avenue Trade School in any aspect of competition, it’s even worse. In one respect, it was a let-down that two top-five teams faced off Tuesday night at Truist Park and that it was not able to be watched on TV. On the other – perhaps it […]
It’s bad enough that the Red Sox are struggling out of the gate. But we are also constantly hearing complaints from fellow fans that the 2026 Red Sox are no fun to watch. It’s hard to blame them. They only managed to score four runs in three games over the weekend! They are nearly being […]
These five words will never cease to amuse me: Shohei Ohtani made history, again. Although the Dodgers suffered their third defeat on this current road trip— dropping Tuesday’s contest to the San Francisco Giants 3-1— Shohei Ohtani was able to extend his on-base streak to 53 games, tying Shawn Green for the longest such streak […]
One of the most unfortunate things about being an American sports fan is you’re relentlessly inundated with erectile dysfunction advertisements. Are you unable to perform like you used to? Having trouble getting it up? Not making enough hard contact? The saving grace is these inquiries are generally quarantined to the commercial breaks. But lately, and […]
Boy, does it feel good to beat Boston. The Yankees got their heads right over the weekend in their home sweep of Kansas City and carried that momentum to Fenway Park, handling the scuffling Red Sox in the first rivalry meeting of 2026. Luis Gil had little trouble shutting down a brittle Boston offense, and […]
The American League East has been a bit of a mess so far this year. The Yankees squandered a strong opening week, but the rest of the division has similarly alternated between dominance and disaster. Entering Tuesday night, everybody is within four games of .500. It’s a perfect time to sprinkle a little rivalry into […]
First Pitch: 6:10 PM CDT TV: Twins.TV Radio: TIBN, WCCO 830, The Wolf 102.9 FM, Audacy App, LosTwins.com Know thine enemy: Amazin’ Avenue Since my last game thread, a 6-0 win against the Red Sox, the Twins have proceeded to lose 4 in a row. Its funny how quickly the vibes of a baseball season […]
Anytime the Yankees show up on the schedule, regardless of the standings, it presents an opportunity for either a dramatic shift in mood, or a dramatic amplification of whatever mood is already in place. Tonight is no different as the Red Sox and Yankees meet for the first time in 2026 with the Red Sox […]
UPDATE: The Red Sox will call up Rivera ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Yankees, according to multiple reports. He will be added to the 40-man roster and make his major league debut once he takes the mound without ever having pitched above Double-A. — The Red Sox have promoted pitching prospect Eduardo Rivera from … Continue reading "Red Sox promote pitching prospect Eduardo Rivera to Triple-A Worcester"
The Red Sox salvaged a series split with the Detroit Tigers thanks to extra-inning heroics on Friday and a magical second half of the Patriots’ Day game. Sitting at 9-13, the Red Sox are in fourth place in the AL East, tied with the Toronto Blue Jays. Now the first place (sigh) Yankees come to […]
The Boston Red Sox are something of a rollercoaster ride… It’s safe to say that watching them has been rather nauseating at points, as the peaks and valleys not only arise with each passing series, but with each game, inning, and pitch. Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the perfect encapsulation of this on Monday, as he was […]
If you’re in the imaging ward at Mass General today, keep an eye out for Sonny Gray (but don’t bother him; that’s weird and lame). He’ll be getting an MRI on his hamstring today after the Sox placed him on the 15-day IL and gave his spot on the roster to Tyler Samaniego — a […]
The 2025 American League Cy Young runner-up, Garrett Crochet, ranks 72nd of 73 qualified pitchers in ERA this season. Through five starts, he’s registered a 7.88 ERA in 24 innings. Over his last two starts, he’s allowed more earned runs than strikeouts, and more home runs than scoreless innings. After the worst start of his […]
Sonny Gray exited Monday’s game early with a hamstring injury. While the injury isn’t believed to be serious, Gray is spending at least 15 days on the injured list to recover. The Red Sox play 14 games over the next 15 games, so they’ll need someone to fill in. Gray’s turn in the rotation won’t […]
The past two weeks have been adventurous for the Yankees since their 8-2 start to the season. A lengthy losing skid obliterated their fledgling division lead, then a perplexing four-game set with the Angels showed their greatest strengths and greatest flaws in equal measure. Consequently, it was a relief to watch the Bombers dispose of […]
The Yankees are in Boston today, as they’ll take on their archrivals for the first time in 2026. It’s just the second time the Yankees have faced a divisional foe this season, their three-game set at the Trop against the Rays this month the only AL East matchup on a slate that’s otherwise been populated […]
MLB.com | Max Ralph: Your New York Yankees return to play on Tuesday at Fenway Park, visiting the Boston Red Sox in the first series between the two archrivals since the Bombers eliminated the Sox from the 2025 Postseason in the Wild Card round. Luis Gil and his 7.00 ERA in two starts will take […]
Red Sox pitching prospect John Holobetz has been named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 13-19, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Holobetz was excellent in his last start for Double-A Portland this past Saturday. Going up against Altoona on the road at PNG Field, the 23-year-old right-hander allowed … Continue reading "Red Sox’ John Holobetz named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week"
