Red Sox vs. Mariners lineups: Kirby must be defeated!
16-1, Flemmingate, the whole Yankees nonsense? That’s yesterday’s news. Tonight (well in 30 minutes) the Sox will host the Mariners and look to get back on the schneid. It’s Payton Tolle against George Kirby, pictured. Adley’s sitting this one out. Here you go:
Red Sox home for three games against Seattle Mariners as September approaches
Well, that wasn’t great. But after a rough weekend in New York the Red Sox are at home for three games against the Seattle Mariners. Boston sits at 74-63, in the second Wild Card, and has a 5.0 game lead over the Cleveland Guardians sitting in the third Wild Card. The Seattle Mariners are 5.0 […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Two home runs for Kristian Campbell
Worcester: W, 13-10 (BOX SCORE) It took eight pitchers and a six-run third inning, but the WooSox staved off the Rail Riders’ (Yankees AAA) late comeback attempt after Wilkes-Barre smacked five homers off the WooSox pitching staff. The offense was super up for the challenge, though, and Kristian Campbell was at the forefront of that […]
Did the Red Sox really just demote the Mickey Gasper, the hottest hitter on the planet?
Baseball teaches us not to pay attention to the small sample size. Anything can happen in one at-bat in this sport. Anything can happen in one game. Anything can happen in one week’s worth of games. We’re not supposed to put too much credence into anything that happens on the diamond until we’ve seen it […]
Do the Red Sox need to panic after the Yankees Series?
Let’s start with what actually happened. The Red Sox went 1-3 against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium over the weekend. They got outscored 26-9 across four games. On Sunday, they lost 16-1. That’s a brutal number to stare at, and nobody should pretend otherwise, even with a bunch of runs coming off of […]
Yankees Rout Red Sox To Take Season Series
Major League Baseball has a replay review center. It is located in New York City. The Yankees, the league’s biggest brand, are also located in New York City. Those same Yankees played a game against the Boston Red Sox today, with serious playoff implications. The winner of today’s game would own the head-to-head tiebreaker in […]
Huge Stakes On The Line In Red Sox Series Finale Versus Yankees
Each game in a 162 game season counts the same, except for when they don’t. With the season series against the Yankees split at six games a piece, today’s game determines the tiebreaker. There’s still a month to go, but we’re barreling towards a rematch of last season’s Wild Card matchup, and home field could […]
Red Sox News & Links: Roman Anthony, Trevor Story to be activated today against Yankees
The wait is over. Roman Anthony, who hit .280 with 2 homers, 2 doubles, and 4 walks in an 8-game rehab stint, will be activated in time for today’s game against the Yankees. For some reason, though, the front office has decided to yoke Trevor Story to him. Story, who hit just .171 and appeared […]
Red Sox disappoint in Game 2, lose 9-2
Recap Opener Alec Gamboa departed in the second inning, yielding to Brayan Bello with a runner on first. The Sox used the same template as the earlier contest today: score early with a solo homer. This time it was Nick Sogard in the top of the third, notching his third hit in his last four […]
Red Sox at Yankees: Twilight Rematch
Alec Gamboa serves as opener as the Sox and Yankees play the second game of the day. The Sox turned on the gas in the ninth but the Yankees burned through a lot of their bullpen and bench in Game 1. Feels like the Sox still have the juice though. Let’s go. How to Watch […]
Sox shut out Yankees in Game 1, 6-0
Recap The Sox jumped out to a sweet, sweet lead in the first with Wilyer Abreu’s twenty-third home run, a career high. Jake Bennett went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning and damn it felt good. He did the same in the second. He threw a fantastic game, in fact, keeping the Yankees off-balance […]
Red Sox at Yankees: Game 1 of Today’s Doubleheader
Though Jake Bennett takes the mound in the early matchup, it’s nice to have setup man Garrett Whitlock back from the IL. His 2.05 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, .203 OBA, 49 strikeouts and seven walks in 44 innings will be helpful as the Sox try to move past the Yanks in the AL East. Last night […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Brooks Brannon is a hitting machine
Worcester: L, 2-0 (BOX SCORE) Just as the Red Sox struggled to put runs on the board on Friday night at Yankee Stadium, Worcester couldn’t get one cross the plate hosting the Triple-A affiliate RailRiders (Yankees AAA) despite the pitching staff doing a good job throughout the night. This had some parallels with the actual […]
Where will the offensive spark come from for the Red Sox?
It may not seem like the Red Sox offense has been skidding over the past seven games, since five of those games resulted in victories. However, if you dig in a bit, some of that success is misleading if you take into account: The Sox have 20 runs prior to extra innings in those seven […]
Red Sox Strand 10, Fall 1-0 to Yankees in Brutal Series Opener
The Yankees starter walked five Red Sox batters on Friday night. The Red Sox scored zero runs. That’s the whole story, and it’s an ugly one. Cam Schlittler was not sharp. He walked five, put traffic on base constantly, and gave Boston every opportunity to cash in. They left ten men on. In a different […]
Big weekend in the Bronx kicks off as Patrick Sandoval starts
I will be there in person tonight! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:15PM – Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY 📺 TV: Apple TV 📻 Radio: WEEI
Red Sox return to Yankee Stadium for four games – possibly with Roman Anthony & Trevor Story at some point?
On Saturday June 6th the Red Sox and Yankees were scheduled to play the middle game of a weekend series. Boston won the opener on Friday night putting their record at 27-35. New York was sitting at 37-26. Aaron Judge was on the IL and the forecast showed a chance of rain. So they punted […]
Red Sox News & Links: Roman Anthony will not play against Yankees tonight
Let’s get the big question out of the way: Roman Anthony WILL NOT return to the Red Sox lineup tonight: Given that there’s a double-header tomorrow, it’s possible that the Sox brass just wants to wait until they get an extra roster spot so they don’t need to make a decision on who to demote […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Roman Anthony is ready to return from injury
Worcester Red Sox 7, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 1 The Woo Sox went ahead 3-0 in the first inning, with some very familiar names involved. Roman Anthony and Isiah Kiner-Falefa each singled, Trevor Story hit a sacrifice fly before Nate Eaton and Kristian Campbell hit consecutive RBI doubles. They added four more in the sixth, thanks to […]
We’re missing out on what should be one of the most memorable chapters in the history of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry
Good morning! It’s the last weekend of August, the Red Sox are 2 games behind the Yankees, and the two blood rivals will commence a four-game set in the Bronx tonight. And yet… it’s not that big of a deal. Don’t get me wrong: I always get up for the Yankees and I am desperate […]
Weekend series marks reminder of Red Sox-Yankees playoff inevitably
Take this weekend to get ready, because I would be SHOCKED if the American League playoffs don’t open on Sep. 29 with the Red Sox and Yankees matched up in the Wild Card series. Boston and New York square off for the final time this (regular) season this weekend at Yankee Stadium in a pivotal […]
Trevor Story should not rejoin the Red Sox roster this week (or maybe ever)
There’s no way to sugarcoat this, so I’m just gonna come right out and say it: Trevor Story might be done. What’s going on in Worcester looks far worse your typical “getting up to speed” struggles we sometimes see on rehab assignments. This has all the markings of a bat that’s cooked and an approach […]
Red Sox News & Links: Roman Anthony hits back at critics
Suffice it to say it’s been an up-and-down start to Adley Rutschman’s Red Sox career, which began when he was still recovering from an injury. Now, after starting to find himself at the plate with his new team, he’s found himself on the shelf again, missing the past two games with an elbow injury he […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Trevor Story continues to struggle
Worcester: L, 7-1 (BOX SCORE) Okay, folks, I’ll say it: Since 2022 I’ve disliked the Trevor Story contract. And in 2026, I’m worried about Trevor Story being brought back into this iteration of the Boston Red Sox, a playoff team who can make rallies appear out of thin air. Since arriving in Triple-A, Trevor Story […]
How many Red Sox hitters will receive MVP consideration?
Good morning! A few days ago we showed you a poll in which Willson Contreras finished in fourth in an early look at the AL MLVP race. But he wasn’t the only Red Sox player who received votes in that poll. Ceddanne Rafaela, who’s not all that far from Bobby Witt, Jr. in the AL […]
