Jordan Walker continued his torrid start to the 2026 season, but Andre Pallante had a disappointing start while Brayan Bello was impressive as the Boston Red Sox clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox didn’t wait long to get on the board as former Cardinal Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer […]

The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the Boston Red Sox Sunday afternoon after a disappointing end to Saturday night’s game. According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will start for St. Louis while Brayan Bello will take the mound for Boston. Game is scheduled to be broadcast on Cardinals TV. First pitch […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have had a rough week. After wrapping up their third consecutive series win last weekend in Kansas City, Milwaukee moved to 8-2 with a series-opening win in Boston on Monday. Since then, however, they’ve lost four straight. In those four losses — two to the Red Sox and two to the Nationals […]
There was a lot of talk about running it back this offseason. After a frustratingly brief trip to the Elysian Fields of the playoffs, the fans, writ broadly, wanted change. Few, if any, would’ve wanted a change in Jesús Luzardo, though. His first season in red pinstripes (and blue/black gradient thing; not to fear, City […]
During Saturday’s win in St. Louis, the Red Sox scored a season high seven runs. So with that established, let me stop and ask you a question: What player in a Boston uniform was most responsible for this offensive outburst? Perhaps it was Willson Contreras, who went 2-4 with 3 RBI against his former team. […]
Thank the baseball GODs for that ninth inning. The Red Sox came into the final frame with a tenuous one-run lead, after Garrett Whitlock gave up a solo shot to Jordan Walker in the bottom of the 8th. Trevor Story led off with a walk—something that hasn’t been a big help to the Red Sox […]
The Cardinals entered the night with a robust 8-5 record while the Red Sox were trying to avoid their 10th loss of the young season. The game was broadcast on Fox so we were given some Smoltz announcing action, which could be described as a mix of lackluster and uninformed. Kyle Leahy was smooth and […]
A Saturday national game, is this the pressure the Red Sox need right now? We at least see a little more normal of a lineup with Roman back in—maybe being the DH will let him focus on one thing at a time and his bat is more important right now. Can the Red Sox stop […]

The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Tatsuya Imai is having trouble adapting to life in MLB at a time his team really needs him to be the star he’s shown he can be in Japan: In the meantime, Christian Vazquez will remain Imai’s personal catcher: Is there an injury concern […]
Tough to plate 11 and lose, but that was last night’s game. The good news is we planned for a Johnny Wholestaff affair, whereas the Boomers used their 2nd best starter. Wyatt “Ice Town” Nadeau needs to win the Mayoral election on the mound today for us to take this much needed home series. On […]
According to Jon Heyman, the Mets will call up Craig Kimbrel before today’s game against the Athletics. Kimbrel, a 16-year veteran who was an All-Star with the Braves, Phillies, Cubs, and Red Sox, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in January. Kimbrel is currently fifth all time with 440 career saves, just ahead […]
Worcester: W, 8-5 (BOX SCORE) Jake Bennett pitched a really solid game, going into the sixth, keeping his ERA under 1 despite allowing his first earned run of the season, striking four out and allowing just two hits. But, that wasn’t the real story on Friday night against Columbus (Guardians AAA). Tsung-Che Cheng started his […]
Ladies and gentleman, James Wood is all the way back. After a rough second half and a concerning first couple series, the big fella is back to absolutely destroying baseball. I have to say, I’ve got to eat some crow on this. I said the Nats had a James Wood problem, and it turns out […]
The San Diego Padres did not start the season well at home in their first six games versus the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants, facing excellent starting pitching and showing an anemic offense, the Friars went 2-4 at home. The road trip to Boston to face the Red Sox for their home opener also […]
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 […]
