Red Sox Bullpen Spoils Erik Bedard’s Debut in Loss to Tribe

By ⋅ August 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox bullpen folded Thursday night after two straight games without allowing a run to the Cleveland Indians. Catcher Carlos Santana hit a two-run home run off Franklin Morales, and the Indians scored twice more off Andrew Miller to give the Indians a 7-3 victory and series split. Coupled with the Yankees’ 7-2 victory [...]

Red Sox Rally Late to Down White Sox 5-3 on Deadline Day

By ⋅ July 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No matter his performance, the Red Sox have had a penchant for winning with Andrew Miller on the mound. The team entered Sunday 6-1 in Miller’s first 7 starts, and a late rally stretched that to 7-1 as Boston squeaked past Chicago 5-3. It was a gutsy performance for Miller, who gave up a season [...]

By ⋅ July 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Pedroia Continues to Rake It was a quick turnaround after the last out was recorded at 2:00 am Tuesday morning, but the Red Sox did not have a hangover. Although the Royals got to a struggling Andrew Miller, the Sox pounded 16 hits and managed 13 runs to beat the Royals 13-9. The offense was [...]

Ellsbury Homers Twice in the Heat to Give Red Sox Series Win in Baltimore

By ⋅ July 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was hot in Baltimore on Wednesday: 92 degrees, with enough humidity and sunshine to make it feel like 100. But not even the high temperatures could match the heat of Jacoby Ellsbury. Ellsbury homered twice Wednesday afternoon, leading the the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory against the Orioles. The win gave Boston its [...]

Andrew Miller Looking to Find Comfort Zone in Boston

By ⋅ July 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox sure have perfected the whole “easing young starting pitchers in” routine. I like to call them the Quadruple-A starts. Try your luck at the gutter dwellers of the major leagues before testing out Sunday night baseball in the Bronx. If you can keep Robert Andino guessing in the box, maybe you’re ready [...]

Red Sox Hit 4 HRs, But Can’t Bail Out Miller in Loss To Rays

By ⋅ July 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Andrew Miller was bound to hit the wall some time. After a string of “easy” opponents (though ask any major league pitcher – no opponent is considered “easy”) like the Padres, Pirates, Astros and Orioles, Miller faced his first true test: the Tampa Bay Rays, who have been a thorn in the Red Sox side [...]

McDonald HRs, Miller Impressive Again in Red Sox Win Over Astros

By ⋅ July 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It would appear that the Red Sox are finally starting to figure out these National League rules. After losing 2 of 3 to the Pirates and Phillies, the Red Sox have won the first two against the Astros in Houston, their last interleague series of the season. Boston took it to Astros starter J.A. Happ [...]

Buchholz’s Eventual Return Likely Means Miller Back to Pawtucket

By ⋅ June 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Sound the trumpets. Beat the drums. Bang the gongs. Do something with some other instrument. Clay Buchholz will soon be back with the Red Sox. The man with the 6-3 record and 3.48 ERA will finally stabilize a pitching rotation that has been ravaged by stomach illnesses and spot starts. The 1-2-3 punch necessary for [...]

Red Sox Salvage Last Game of Pittsburgh Series

By ⋅ June 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It wasn’t always easy, but Boston finally got one over on Pittsburgh 4-2 in Andrew Miller’s second start with the Red Sox. In a game filled with bumps and bruises, errors and a finally iffy Pittsburgh ‘pen, Boston finally knocked off a team not used to being good at all. Maybe that’s why Boston was [...]

Ten-Run Seventh Inning Blasts Red Sox Past Padres

By ⋅ June 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With no member of the Boston Red Sox ever having faced him before, San Diego Padres starter Wade LeBlanc stood an excellent chance of derailing Boston’s explosive offense. But LeBlanc could not stop Boston’s scoring Monday night at Fenway; all he could do was delay it. The Red Sox scored 11 runs – 10 in [...]

The Red Sox have five bullpen spots locked up (Jonathan Papelbon, Bobby Jenks, Daniel Bard, Dan Wheeler, Tim Wakefield) and probably two spots left to fill with a number of pitchers.

Miller Time for the Red Sox? Former Top Prospect Andrew Miller Acquired for Dustin Richardson

By ⋅ November 13, 2010 ⋅ One comment

On Friday, the Red Sox acquired former top prospect Andrew Miller, in exchange for reliever Dustin Richardson. Miller was selected by the Tigers with the 6th pick of the first round in the 2006 draft, but he’s never come close to fulfilling his potential.  The 6’7″ lefthander was a college teammate of Red Sox reliever [...]
