But Can He Pitch?
The Red Sox salvaged a series split with the Detroit Tigers thanks to extra-inning heroics on Friday and a magical second half of the Patriots’ Day game. Sitting at 9-13, the Red Sox are in fourth place in the AL East, tied with the Toronto Blue Jays. Now the first place (sigh) Yankees come to […]
The Boston Red Sox are something of a rollercoaster ride… It’s safe to say that watching them has been rather nauseating at points, as the peaks and valleys not only arise with each passing series, but with each game, inning, and pitch. Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the perfect encapsulation of this on Monday, as he was […]
If you’re in the imaging ward at Mass General today, keep an eye out for Sonny Gray (but don’t bother him; that’s weird and lame). He’ll be getting an MRI on his hamstring today after the Sox placed him on the 15-day IL and gave his spot on the roster to Tyler Samaniego — a […]
The 2025 American League Cy Young runner-up, Garrett Crochet, ranks 72nd of 73 qualified pitchers in ERA this season. Through five starts, he’s registered a 7.88 ERA in 24 innings. Over his last two starts, he’s allowed more earned runs than strikeouts, and more home runs than scoreless innings. After the worst start of his […]
Sonny Gray exited Monday’s game early with a hamstring injury. While the injury isn’t believed to be serious, Gray is spending at least 15 days on the injured list to recover. The Red Sox play 14 games over the next 15 games, so they’ll need someone to fill in. Gray’s turn in the rotation won’t […]
So we can only have so many nice things with the 2026 Red Sox, eh? Good news! The offense can actually produce runs! Bad news! Sonny Gray left the game in the third with right hamstring tightness and we had to almost empty out the pen before the series against the Yankees! Fun times. Can […]
Happy Marathon Monday! I keep saying it—maybe THIS is the day that kickstarts the Red Sox into gear? ⚾️ First Pitch: 11:10am ET —Fenway Park, Boston, MA 📺 TV: NESN, MLBN (out of market) 📻 Radio: WEEI
Worcester: W, 4-2 (BOX SCORE) The Red Sox farm, unlike the Major League team, actually enjoyed solid pitching all the way around on Sunday. Worcester’s shutout performance in Nashville (Brewers AAA) was courtesy of Michael Sansone. The 26-year-old Connecticut native may well end up putting together some innings on the Major League squad in 26; […]
After the Red Sox finally got something resembling momentum going with back-to-back series victories against a very good Brewers team and a Cardinals team that has made anybody following MLB say “Hey they actually aren’t as bad as I thought they’d be,” they go out and lay eggs like that over the past week. That […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Happy Marathon Monday, to be specific. A huge shoutout to all of those who will be running in the marathon today, and another huge shoutout taking the time to go out and cheer everybody on. Patriots Day is a special day here in the Bay State—go on and have a […]
Coming off the worst start of his career, Garrett Crochet surrendered five runs over five innings on Sunday. Is it time to worry? Yes, but also no. Crochet got off to a rocky start. After two quick outs, he gave up back to back doubles to open the scoring. I was driving during the top […]
After getting absolutely annihilated in his previous start on Monday in Minnesota to the tune of 11 runs in just 1.2 innings, Garrett Crochet is set to retake the mound today and convince us all that everything will be fine as far as he and his health are concerned. Unfortunately, he won’t just be battling […]
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” — Alexander Pope Red Sox Nation expected quite a bit from the 2026 season, so this funk we’re in feels particularly brutal. It’s a sad state of affairs when disappointment settles in, like a thick bank of fog, even before mid-April has rolled around. […]
Last Sunday after the Red Sox’s 9–3 win over the Cardinals, Trevor Story gave one of the more entertaining quotes about his new teammate Willson Contreras: “Just look at him. They’re very similar in stature. Real strong and he’s got that presence about him, that Bowser presence. He’s got the intensity. “I’ve never seen a […]
One of the unfortunate side effects that we experience in this current era of prestige TV is that it’s all too easy to forget about a great show after it ends. I’m not talking about the Mad Men and Sopranos types of prestige TV shows, the ones that stick around long enough that they firmly […]
Well, it was a good thing the Sox won last night, because it’s going to be a tough one this afternoon. The Sox take on Tarik Skubal, who received a big early boost in the Cy Young race when Garrett Crochet got rocked earlier this week. Of course, Skubal doesn’t really need the help, as […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jack Anderson. The Red Sox have had to go to the 40-man roster earlier in the season than they would have liked, to the tune of bringing four guys up from Worcester so far, three of whom have made their Major League debut (four total […]
Worcester, Game 1: L, 2-4 (BOX SCORE) Jake Bennett, who had his start derailed by a day due to rain, continues his hot start to 2026. He now has 16 1/3 innings with just one run earned, and continued that with three innings of shutout ball. However, neither that or the okay relief work was […]
You know how sometimes you hear a statistic that feels so outrageous you have have to dig into the details and verify it yourself? Well, Chris Cotillo dropped one of those last night when he tweeted this after the Red Sox 1-0 win in ten innings: Now let’s be clear, the Red Sox don’t always […]
This is the sixth walk-off in the Fenway Greens in their season+ lifetime and that’s kind of absurd. They must be made of magic. Did the offense look absolutely inept against Casey Mize? Yeah, Mize mowed this lineup down for seven innings. Thankfully, Ranger Suárez was on par if not better, creating one of the […]
Maybe the greens will change the mojo of this team? Pretty please with a cherry on top? ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:15pm ET —Fenway Park, Boston, MA 📺 TV: Apple TV 📻 Radio: WEEI
After a disappointing .500 road trip, the Red Sox head home to host two tough opponents: the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees. First up are the Tigers. In their favor, the AL East is still close. Boston trails the Tampa Bay Rays by just 4.0 games. They are just 2.5 games out of […]
The Red Sox are officially “not worried” about Garrett Crochet after the worst start of his career earlier this week. “The greatest pitchers in baseball have tough days, and that’s OK,” said pitching coach Andrew Bailey. “I think we have to recognize, too, that these guys are human, and sometimes baseball is baseball. It’s a […]
Bowling Green Hot Rods 9, Greenville Drive 8 (BOX) Unfortunately, the story of the day in this one was Juan Valera’s elbow. After beginning to pop up on top-100 MLB prospect lists, Valera left the game after one inning with inflammation in his pitching elbow. Chris Cotillo has more detail here. Valera was off to […]
Not sure if anyone has looked at the American League standings in the past 24 hours, but the following three teams are leading their divisions: Tampa Bay Rays (11-7): winners of six straight Minnesota Twins (11-8): winners of 8-of-10 Sacramento Athletics* (10-9): winners of 8-of-11, tied for first with the Texas Rangers *(I’m calling them […]
