Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
I don’t have many words for this Red Sox team already, so we’re gonna keep it short. Studs No one? Is it that bad I don’t have just about anything good to say about this game? Duds Where do I even begin with duds for this game. Willson Contreras with a golden sombrero, including getting […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began the 2nd homestand of the 2026 season taking on the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium. Before we get to the baseball, the first important moment of the game was the return of Willson Contreras to St. Louis after being traded during the offseason. As expected, he received a warm […]
It’s early April but for tonight, we can say it’s Early-May 🥁 I know the pun is awful, but it kicks off the second of four consecutive series against Midwest based teams. Can the Sox find more momentum off of their first series victory against the Brewers or will the Redbirds emerge on top? Also […]
Houston Dash announced the signing of defender Natalie Bain to a contract through the 2026 season. Bain will join the Dash in May following the conclusion of her academic studies at Xavier University. The 22-year-old defender has played primarily as a center back throughout her decorated collegiate career, and made an immediate impact as part […]
The Red Sox doubled their win total in 2026 by taking two-out-of-three against the Milwaukee Brewers and, realistically, came within a play or two Monday night from sweeping one of the best teams in the National League. They split the first homestand of the year 3-3 and head off to the midwest for a six-game […]
Worcester Red Sox 5, Columbus Clippers 0 (BOX) The Woo Sox got seven hits from seven different starters on Thursday, accounting for five runs against the Clippers (CLE) in a 5-0 victory. Vinny Capra and Jason Delay’s RBIs were on doubles. The pitching was outstanding, with 26-year-old Jack Anderson throwing six shutout innings, allowing just […]
Not much was made of the March 28 trade between the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox, when the Nats sent minor league catcher Boston Smith for first baseman Curtis Mead, who was designated for assignment three days earlier. A 25-year-old now on his fourth franchise, he had posted just a .231 batting average, […]
No team should ever want to replicate an 0-6 start, a chicken and beer-staining identity, or a catastrophic choking of a postseason berth. Obviously, that’s how the 2011 Red Sox crumbled in infamous fashion. That season, pumped up by a ridiculous offseason spending spree for Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez, saw an 0-6 road trip […]
We’re months away from when the Yankees usually have their midseason malaise, but if they have one this year, then we got a little preview this week. They had every chance to win their fourth-straight series to open the year, but dropped the last two against the A’s at home, both contests decided by one […]
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reports that Jorge Polanco is getting the night off in the team’s series finale against the Diamondbacks, as the 32-year-old’s Achilles didn’t feel great after he played yesterday. Billed as the Mets’ new first baseman when the team signed him to a two-year, $40 million contract in December, Polanco played […]
Worcester: W, 8-5 (BOX SCORE) After almost two years of rehab, Patrick Sandoval is back. The idea of paying someone fresh off of Tommy John surgery $18 million to rehab has been met with plenty of criticism, but Sandoval’s 529 strikeouts in 536 career innings with an ERA just over 4 can provide some stability […]
All winter long, the buzzword about the Red Sox pitching rotation was “depth.” But a few weeks into the season, that depth hasn’t shown up yet, with the rotation looking top-heavy and overly reliant on Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe) But if you have to be top-heavy in the rotation, it […]
The San Diego Padres had a happy flight home from their first road trip of the season after an 8-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. That win capped a six-game road trip through Boston and Pittsburgh that saw the Padres take two games from the Red Sox and two games from the Pirates. […]
We’re still just just a dozen games into the young season, but already the DNA of the 2026 Red Sox is taking shape. They’ve got a lineup that doesn’t have enough power, a defense that is somehow both above average at taking away runs while also being well below average at avoiding mistakes, and a […]
With the Red Sox headed to St. Louis this weekend, it’s a good time to reflect on what these two franchises mean to the history of MLB and how much their reputations have decayed in recent years. The Red Sox haven’t won a division title in eight years and haven’t hosted a playoff game at […]
The Red Sox needed 12 games to do it, but Boston secured its first series victory of the season. The 5-0 getaway day win over the Milwaukee Brewers clinched the series over the reigning National League Central champions. Starting pitching did indeed prevent runs and the offense did its job in a productive third inning. […]
Chewing up pitch counts: José A. Ferrer, +.02 WPA Quick outs (derogatory): Bryan Woo, -.10 WPA Game Thread Comments of the Day:
Box Score It ends up being just a .500 road trip for the Brewers across Kansas City and Boston as Milwaukee dropped the rubber match Wednesday afternoon against the Red Sox, 5-0. Sonny Gray had the goods from the beginning. The Brewers were able to get some traffic on the bases against him, but could […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have a chance to win their first four series of the regular season today if they can take the rubber match against the Boston Red Sox. On the mound today for the Brewers is Shane Drohan, who will be making his MLB debut. Drohan was acquired from the Red Sox right before […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:35 p.m. ET Has the day arrived? Can the Red Sox finally win a series in 2026? Boston snapped a three-game losing skid when Garrett Crochet earned the win over Milwaukee flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski. Now, the Red Sox stay alive for Wednesday’s matinee rubber match at Fenway. Trevor Story gets off […]
Let’s get to the main point here. Tuesday night’s loss to the Giants does not fall squarely on the shoulders of Otto Kemp. A lack of offense to go along with uncharacteristic poor pitching from Cristopher Sanchez and sketchy fielding in the fifth inning sealed the defeat. Without scoring runs, teams are going to have […]
The theme of Tuesday’s slate of games was “quite a bit of offense, but not enough.” Starting pitching struggled, and even everyone pitching in at the plate wasn’t enough for Worcester and Portland… but it was plenty for Greenville and Salem, who had the help of solid defense. Let’s get into it. Worcester: L, 10-14 […]
Good morning! The Red Sox won a baseball game last night, which is something we haven’t gotten to say much this year. It was a close one, and another game where the bullpen played a key role. Holding onto leads has been tough for the Sox so far. Like, real tough: But Zack Kelly of […]
The Red Sox are off to a 3-8 start over their first eleven games. There is a lot of doom and gloom about teams starting like this never making the playoffs. Boston has dug itself a sizeable hole that would need something like a 13-7 run for the rest of April to balance out. But […]
The San Diego Padres signed a starter in the offseason that they knew would not be ready for at least a month to two months in Griffin Canning. With Spring Training well underway, they discovered that their rehabbing workhorse, Joe Musgrove, was not recovering well from his buildup and he was put on hold. Matt […]
