George Springer is not having a great send-off season in the final year of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 36-year-old has had a dreadful season, batting just .229 with a .708 OPS and just 11 homers. Not quite the way he wants to go into free agency. Nevertheless, teams will remember his heroic playoff performances in his career (including his clutch HR in last year's epic Game 7 of the ALCS ). And he reminded Jays fans and rival teams (and the Boston Red Sox, in...
Dylan Cease dominated from the first pitch to the last, tossing a one-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts as the Blue Jays rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Toronto gave its ace all the run support he would need with a five-run third inning against Sonny Gray, handing Boston its most lopsided loss in nearly a month.
The Nats needed to win this game in order to stay in the hunt, and that is exactly what they did. In their most important game in years, the Nats held their nerve and battled to a 5-3 win. It was not a perfect performance by any means, but they did enough to get a […]
Blue Jays 6 Red Sox 0 Dylan Cease went nine complete, giving up just one hit (with three walks and twelve strikeouts). He was just amazing, even with Dan telling us he wasn’t throwing as hard as usual. And the offense did the job. We got: We had 15 hits, 14 more than the Red […]
1954 In the first game of a twin bill at Boston, White Sox pitcher Jack Harshman set the franchise record by striking out 16 Red Sox. Harshman, a converted first baseman, was taught a “slip pitch” (a variation of a palm ball) by manager Paul Richards. Harshman got the win, 5-2. At the time, Harshman’s 16 Ks were two shy […]
Game #105. After yesterday’s game, John said that Tyler Rogers wasn’t available for the game and that Louis Varland would only be used if there was a save situation. It was nice to see them score more than one run. Today let’s shot for more than one run and a win. I know that is […]
It’s the most beautiful day of the summer and we’ve got ourselves a bona fide pitcher’s duel that will start in the late afternoon and carry us into the gloaming. Sonny Gray, whose 2.48 ERA would be fifth in baseball if he had enough innings to qualify, will take the bump in the top of […]
The red-hot Boston Red Sox (53-49), with 16 wins in their last 17 games, look to keep rolling on Saturday when they take on the Toronto Blue Jays (47-57) at Fenway Park. How to Watch Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston…
The trade market for Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams is reportedly heating up.
While the Boston Red Sox want to keep No. 1 prospect Franklin Arias, a new rumor claims they will dangle […]
Just a month ago, the Boston Red Sox looked like...
What a game the Yankees just pitched to open their series against the Phillies with a 1-0 win! Cam Schlittler was dominant for 7.1 scoreless innings with a dozen strikeouts, Brent Headrick escaped an eighth innings bases loaded jam against Kyle Schwarber, and David Bednar extended his MLB-leading scoreless streak to 22.2 innings to nail […]
The Wild Ride Is Over The front office is facing a hell of a dilemma due to the Red Sox historic 15-game winning streak. The team was completely written off by almost everyone, including yours truly, well before late June when they sported an abysmal 32-46 record. Then the Sox put their heads down and […]
The Cardinals could turn to Brycen Mautz to shore up a bullpen that has been miserable most of the season.
After seeing their franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday night, the Red Sox returned from Thursday’s off day with a 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays in Friday night’s series opener at Fenway Park.
The last major stop for AEW on the road to All In is Sunday with the inaugural Redemption pay-per-view.
Things are not ideal in the world of the reigning AL Champs.

The trade deadline is only a few weeks away, which means we should see several top prospects called up soon to fill roster gaps and provide a boost for teams making a playoff push. We should also expect another wave of prospect debuts around mid-August, when hitters can be promoted while still maintaining their rookie […]
Blue Jays 4 Red Sox 6 So it was a better effort than we’ve seen of late. Kuzuma Okamoto hit a three-run home run in the seventh (which got us back into the game). Andrés Giménez hit a sac fly in the eighth (which tied the game). That was homer 23 for Okamoto, setting a […]
This could’ve been a barnstormer. Both starters were giving runs away early and often, both lineups had chances to blow this thing open, and instead a game that felt like it wanted to be 10-8 or more ended 6-4. The Red Sox left runners on base all night (11 to be exact), watched the bullpen […]
Friday night was not Dustin May’s best start of the season, but it was solid. What was not solid was the St. Louis Cardinals offensive approach as their bats were completely silent for most of the game which allowed the Reds to walk away with a depressing Friday night victory. The eye test for Dustin […]
If the Washington Nationals waive the white flag and trade CJ Abrams, the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers figure to compete for his services.
The Astros are signing catcher Matt Thaiss to a minor league contract and assigning him to Triple-A Sugar Land, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He’d been released from a non-roster deal with the Red Sox last week. Thaiss has played parts of seven seasons in the majors, six of them with the Angels. A first-round […]
The Cubs desperately need pitching help at the trade deadline. There was a possibility of an Aroldis Chapman reunion, but with the Red Sox have becoming trade deadline buyers, Chicago will need to look elsewhere for bullpen help
