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...
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...
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...
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...
Barring some unforeseen event, Alex Cora will be in the Boston Red Sox dugout until at least 2024. What does this mean? It means the Sox have secured one of the best managers in all of baseball for a three-year contending window, at minimum. Never a...
Boy, I really thought the ALCS was over after Game 3. The Red Sox pummeled the Astros 12-3 to take a 2-1 lead, burning through six Houston pitchers in the process. Houston had an undermanned pitching staff and cold bats. The Red Sox had scored 21...
The Red Sox have run roughshod over their opponents since getting swept by the Orioles to start the season. They’ve won six in a row and have done so by a combined score of 53 to 25. Just crushing people. The bats are on fire (J.D. Martinez...
A.J. Hinch and Alex Cora are back in baseball. These two World Series-winning managers were suspended as a result of their roles in cheating scandals surrounding the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox. They’re out of time-out now, and will soon...
