Ranger Suarez Returns For Red Sox Series Finale Versus Blue Jays
Happy Sunday, folks. For the first time in quite some time, a Red Sox series comes down to the final game after they split the first two with the Toronto Blue Jays. Ranger Suarez returns from a brief stint on the injured list and will take on Kevin Gausman. Toronto ranks 29th in wRC+ against […]
Rearranging the Sock Drawer: The Real Cost of a Shopping Spree
The Boston Red Sox are real buyers. No, like legitimately. Going from one of the worst teams in the AL to the hottest in baseball and into a Wild Card slot changed hearts and minds—in the front office and across Red Sox Nation. The conversation has flipped from theorizing about selling to being a team […]
Red Sox acquire Curtis Mead from Nationals in exchange for Connelly Early
The Red Sox traded Connelly Early to the Nationals today in a trade that may or may not prove to to be a good move. That’s right: I’m not afraid of the hot takez! It’s hard to say farewell to Early. A homegrown left-handed starter is the single most valuable commodity in baseball. But, moreover, […]
Dylan Cease dazzles, Red Sox ruined 6-0
Anticipating a fine pitchers duel on a fine afternoon, I asked who had it better than us at the start of today’s game. The answer ended up being Blue Jays fans. Dylan Cease, in the midst of a season that is going to end with Cy Young votes if not the award itself, held up […]
Red Sox Blue Jays lineups as it’s Sonny vs. Cease on a summer afternoon
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 […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Kristian Campbell stays hot
Worcester: W, 6-5 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox now have 45 hits in their last three games. Although this game was close and the Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins AAA) were resilient, tagging every relief pitcher for runs in a bullpen game after Tyler Uberstine opened things up with a scoreless first, the WooSox simply just stayed one […]
After The Streak, will we see more of the same from the Red Sox front office?
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 […]
Red Sox Survive Bullpen Disaster to Beat Blue Jays 6-4
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 […]
Red Sox look to start new streak as Blue Jays come into town
The last time the Sox faced the Jays, the standings and this team looked WAY different. Can that help the Red Sox revive a win streak or will they start to regress at the hands of Toronto? ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:15pm — Fenway Park, Boston, MA 📺 TV: Apple TV (sorry) 📻 Radio: WEEI
Blue Jays and Red Sox Freaky Friday narrative in full swing as Fenway series begins
What a year for the Blue Jays. Inches away from a World Series, sign the biggest free agent pitcher on the market and he’s an ace. Have perhaps the best first baseman in the American League but he forgets how to hit. Now as the trade deadline nears the thing the Red Sox feared would […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Franklin Arias homers in final Double-A game
Worcester: W, 15-1 (BOX SCORE) Many will love the Franklin Arias move to Triple-A so he can showcase his power and contact tools at the next level, facing guys who have pitched in the Majors before. On Thursday, while their old manager (and current Major League manager) Chad Tracy was inducted into the WooSox Hall […]
What would it take for the Red Sox to trade for Zach Neto?
We officially have trade deadline rumors! Is anyone interested in a little Zach Neto action? Yesterday, The Athletic reported that “after expressing interest in the Los Angeles Angels shortstop last offseason, [the Red Sox] continue to view him as a strong fit, according to people briefed on their discussions.” As fun as it was to […]
Red Sox’s Brian Abraham on trade deadline talks, reported Franklin Arias promotion
The Boston Red Sox find themselves in a fascinating position after a franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak. The entire vibe of the ballpark flipped on its head with real investment in a historic run. Boston went from 37-48 and out of contention to 52-48 and in control of an American League playoff spot. The surge also […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Kristian Campbell plays hero… twice
Worcester, Game 1: W, 3-2 (F/7) (BOX SCORE) The doubleheader against Jacksonville (Marlins AAA) could not have been a more night and day tale of two games. This game made the most of some Vinny Capra and Kristian Campbell RBI knocks in the fourth and Blake Wehunt overcame giving up a first inning home run […]
The Red Sox 15-game winning streak was even more absurd than you think
Before we close the book on the Red Sox historic 15-game winning streak and move on to the rest of the regular season tomorrow, I want to take a step back and marvel at what we just witnessed — because, folks, it really was nothing short of extraordinary. If you told me at the beginning […]
Red Sox star Garrett Crochet talks beer, pitching, his injury, and more
Garrett Crochet didn’t choose to come to Boston, but he did choose to stay here. After making just one start as a member of the Red Sox (on the road in Texas), Crochet signed a six-year contract extension to remain with the organization through at least 2030. He was a standout on the field in […]
What did the Red Sox winning streak mean to you?
Back on July 2nd, when the the Red Sox were heading to the west coast 11 games under .500, I asked when the next meaningful Red Sox baseball game would occur at Fenway Park. At the time, the season was teetering, and it felt like only a miracle could save them. Well, I’m not sure […]
Red Sox historic winning streak comes to an end at 15 as Eduardo Rivera can’t get out of the first inning
Throughout the Red Sox 15 game winning streak, they leaned heavily on spectacular starting pitching. Unfortunately, they didn’t get that tonight. Eduardo Rivera was given the opening role for the third time over the course of this heater, and this time, the cracks beneath the surface fully materialized in costly fashion. He gave up four […]
Red Sox go for franchise record 16th straight win against the Orioles tonight
The last and only other time the Red Sox won 15 games in a row was in the spring of 1946. Ted Williams had just returned from World War II and was off to a scalding start in what would become his first MVP season (it should have been his second). Harry S. Truman was […]
Red Sox tie franchise record with 15th straight win, set table for history in nightcap
The Red Sox will not be defied by weather or competition. The wins just keep coming. Boston rolled out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning and rode that momentum to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles in the opening game of the doubleheader. Jake Bennett did enough to win and the offense set […]
Jake Bennett starts doubleheader with chance to tie franchise-record winning streak
TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:35 p.m. ET The Red Sox did not end the streak due to Tuesday’s rainout and could break the record if they can sweep a day-night doubleheader. Boston ended Baltimore’s seven-game winning streak with Monday’s dramatic win. Now, the Red Sox play for a fifth consecutive series sweep as Jake Bennett, […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Brooks Brannon hits a game-winning home run
Worcester: PPD (Rain), Make-Up Today That same storm that compromised the Red Sox game ended up raining ou Worcester, too. And, in the same manner, the WooSox play the Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins AAA) in a double-header today, with first pitch at 4:05. Portland: W, 4-3 (BOX SCORE) The Sea Dogs had just five hits in […]
How far can the Red Sox climb up the AL standings?
Don’t look now, but the Red Sox are 1.5 games away from having the third-best record in the American League. That mark is currently held by the co-leaders in the AL Central, with the Chicago White Sox (53-47) and Cleveland Guardians (54-48) in a virtual tie for first place. The problem with having the third-best […]
The 2026 Red Sox are starting to resemble the legendary 2004 team
What the Red Sox have done under Chad Tracy the last few weeks has been incredible. He was left with a seven-game hole under Alex Cora’s management and that hurdle was even larger to jump. Their record 0f 41-31 under the interim manager is impressive. The 9-game road winning streak was unbelievable. Yes, the Angels […]
Red Sox and Orioles rained out, will play a double header on Wednesday
The Red Sox 14-game winning streak didn’t end tonight, but it was put on pause thanks to Mother Nature. Here’s the announcement of split double header tomorrow at 1:35pm and 7:10pm straight from the team: With this arrangement, the Red Sox could tie and break their all-time franchise winning streak of 15 straight games in […]
