Chris Sale’s return could not have gone much better last night. The flamethrowing southpaw went 5 innings in his first start of the 2022 season, allowing no runs on 3 hits and a walk, striking out 5. He was efficient too, needing only 78...
Jeter Downs was a top-100 prospect and a future cornerstone middle infielder for the Red Sox before the 2021 season. He had missed all of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as did the vast majority of minor leaguers. But he was coming off a 2019...
The Red Sox have been red hot over the past month. I said they had a chance to save their season back on May 16th, due in large part to positive regression and a soft schedule. They did what they had to do against weaker competition, and now find...
The Celtics are the balls, but they’re also a rollercoaster. A somewhat predictable rollercoaster, I might add. This Celts ‘ squad is quite flawed for a team that is just two wins away from an NBA Championship. The best player on Boston (who...
Alex Cora shaved his beard earlier this season in an effort to jumpstart the struggling Red Sox. The date was May 10th. His team was 10-19 and had just lost their fifth straight. After a 9-4 victory over the Braves in his first game sans facial...
This week in Red Sox baseball has had no shortage of storylines. Trevor Story hit three jacks and knocked in seven last night. The team took two of three from the defending AL champs in the Houston Astros. All in all, it’s been a solid week of...
Trevor Story has been the biggest anchor of the Red Sox lineup so far in 2022, and I don’t mean anchor in a good way. I mean anchor as in something that slows everything down until you’re at a complete stop. The prized offseason...
The Boston Red Sox are in last place in the AL East and are legitimately one of the worst teams in MLB. They’re 13-21 and can’t hit worth a lick, with a team OPS of .644. The pitching is solid, but they’ve had to be perfect for the...
“We need some leadership. Somebody that can calm us down and not get rattled when everything starts to go a little south. I think it snowballs between our guys,” said Celtics head coach, Ime Udoka, earlier this season. The Celts host a...
I’ll admit it: I thought Alex Cora’s beard looked pretty cool when he debuted it earlier this year. No offense to him, but he doesn’t have the strongest chin/jawline. The salt and pepper beard gave him the look of a grizzly...
The Boston Red Sox are 7-10. Certainly not the start you’re looking for, but also not the end of the world. Two good series and you’re back over .500, no sweat. However, this 7-10 record is more troubling than it seems when you factor in...
Most people probably don’t consider Red Sox star Rafael Devers to be a “good athlete,” in the traditional sense of the term. Sure, he mashes against the best pitchers in the world like few other 25-year-olds have. But if you...
Hitting goes through ups and downs. Pitching can stay consistent. Hitting goes through ups and downs. Pitching can stay consistent. Hitting goes through ups and downs. Pitching can stay consistent. That’s what Red Sox fans should be telling...
The Red Sox took a massive step forward in signing Trevor Story, their first big move of the offseason, and really the first of Chaim Bloom’s career in Boston. On paper though, they still seem to be a notch below some of the top American...
The Boston Red Sox have been doing very little compared to their fellow American League contenders, especially since the lockout ended. The Yankees have made moves, the Blue Jays have made moves, the Mariners have made moves, the White Sox have made...
