Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
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 […]
For the third consecutive game, the Red Sox jumped out to at least a three run lead and then immediately began coughing it up. But this time, there were two key differences that allowed them to hang on and escape with a win. First, Garrett Crochet started the game throwing up six scoreless frames, so […]
Box Score In what was lined up as a battle of aces, the game delivered for the first 5 1/2 innings. However, it was Garrett Crochet who came out on top over Jacob Misiorowski, and the Brewers dropped their second game in Boston, 3-2. Crochet started with a 1-2-3 inning, aided by a diving catch […]
If the first ten games of the season didn’t resemble a flaming trainwreck, the conversation going into tonight’s affair would be centered around everybody going gaga over the sensational pitching match up, and for good reason. Not only do we have Garrett Crochet taking on Jacob Misiorowski, but we’ve got a cold night at Fenway […]
The Brewers and Red Sox kicked off their three-game series last night with a hectic back-and-forth game. The Brewers took the first game 8-6, but not without some extra drama. That will likely carry over into tonight as the two teams play their second game, with the Brewers going for the series win. Both teams […]
Among all the disasters baked into the Red Sox’ cake of calamity that’s defined the early part of this season, there’s one reoccurring theme that has me shook. Granted, this level of concern should probably be reserved for things like the “give a damn about baseball” vs. “give a damn about what the private equity […]
The last few days have made it feel good to be a San Diego Padres fan again. The Friar Faithful have been rewarded after a floundering first week with a three-game win streak. After winning their first series of the year against the Boston Red Sox, they won their first game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, […]
We’ve talked at length about how Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) is the definition of a “super-utilityman,” having played every position on the field at least once while also switch hitting. However, in spring training, he also worked on honing his off-the-field skills. Carrigg has always been an aggressive player, as evidenced by his stealing […]
Monday night’s game between the Brewers and Red Sox got chippy out of nowhere. With two runners on and no outs, Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras stepped to the plate against veteran starter Brandon Woodruff. Woodruff’s first pitch was a high-and-tight sinker just a couple of inches inside. Contreras, known for crowding the strike […]
Red Sox nation needed a reason to smile on Opening Day after a trainwreck of a road trip (rail trip?) to start the season. The 1986 team is all well and good, but winning games in 2026 is more fun than thinking about games that were won 40 years ago. They also weirdly played a […]
What’s particularly frustrating about the Red Sox horrific start is that you can’t just point to one aspect of the game that the team is struggling with and hope for some positive regression in the near future. The sad fact of the matter is that the Red Sox are finding all sorts of different ways […]
I don’t know if I can go so far as to say that any night is a good one when there is no Yankees game. But Monday tested that thesis. Two AL East rivals, Toronto and Boston, lost. Detroit went down to defeat in Minnesota. After a first-inning solo shot from Cal Raleigh, Seattle never […]
Mookie Betts met with reporters on Monday afternoon in Toronto, two days after he suffered the injury while running the bases in Washington D.C., and one day after he was placed on the injured list. Betts referenced an oblique injury he had during his American League MVP season of 2018 with the Boston Red Sox, […]
I didn’t want to have to be the one to tell you guys this, but the old adage that “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” isn’t actually true. The Boston Red Sox are doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation. Things haven’t been going well for our Red Sox, but part of the beauty in baseball is finding a reason to watch anyway. Today, that reason is Jacob Misiorowski against Garrett Crochet. They’re two of the best pitchers in the game going head-to-head. There’s also a subplot with Willson Contreras […]
Former Red Sox prospect James Tibbs III has been named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week for the week of March 31-April 5, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Tibbs, now a member of the Dodgers organization, had a monster week for Triple-A Oklahoma City in its series against Las Vegas. Appearing in … Continue reading "Former Red Sox prospect James Tibbs III named Pacific Coast League Player of the Week"
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers took down the Boston Red Sox in a chaotic, long, cold game by an 8-6 final on Monday night. The Crew looked like they’d get things going early, as William Contreras singled and Christian Yelich doubled off the Green Monster to put runners at second and third with one out. […]
The Cincinnati Reds swept the Texas Rangers in their first road series of the 2026 regular season, and their road exploits didn’t stop on Monday in their 2-0 series opening win against the Miami Marlins. Lefty Brandon Williamson, making just his second start since late 2024, bounced back from a rough first outing of the […]
