Should the Red Sox Add Jackie Bradley, Jr. to the 2013 Major League Roster?

By ⋅ March 2, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

This spring training has been great for Boston’s young stud of a center fielder, Jackie Bradley, Jr. He boasts a .571 average and an OPS of 1.269 in 15 plate appearances. It may be a small sample size, but he has scored four times in five game and will be a great leadoff hitter with [...]

By ⋅ July 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox edged out a victory in 10 innings against the Yankees Sunday night, winning by a score of 3-2.

The Blue Jays completed the sweep of the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Sunday, winning by a score of 15-7. Jon Lester has been the focus of the media for his poor outings recently, and Sunday he hoped to get back on track. That was not the case as he gave up a whopping [...]

Was the Josh Reddick Trade Really Worth it?

By ⋅ July 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In the offseason the Red Sox made the move to acquire a closer in an effort to fill the hole left when Jonathan Papelbon took his talents to Philadelphia. In the quest to fill that hole, the Red Sox traded young outfielder Josh Reddick, and minor league players Raul Alcantara and Miles Head to the [...]

By ⋅ June 22, 2012 ⋅ One comment

There’s certainly never too much of a good thing, but the Boston Red Sox seem to face a dilemma in the coming weeks as they sort through an incredible amount of outfielders. Each has both positive and negative aspects of being a part of the 25-man roster, making it difficult for manager Bobby Valentine and [...]

By ⋅ June 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox dropped their fourth straight game on Monday by a final score of 4-1 as they ran into more strong pitching, this time in the form of Miami Marlins ace Josh Johnson.

Red Sox Fall to Nationals in Dice-K’s Return

By ⋅ June 10, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Before the Celtics tip off tonight against the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Boston sports fans were treated with a similarly unpredictable event: the return of Daisuke Matsuzaka to the major leagues after a year removed because of Tommy John surgery. He showed good stuff for the most part, but [...]

Tigers Maul Red Sox Pitching, Avoid Sweep

By ⋅ May 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

With two inherited runners on and two outs in the top of the eighth, Matt Albers struck out left fielder Don Kelly looking to end the threat. That was basically the only good thing the Boston Red Sox did on the mound all night. The Detroit Tigers clubbed 14 hits off Josh Beckett and two [...]

Red Sox Lose in 17 Innings to Orioles

By ⋅ May 6, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The Red Sox attempted to avoid being swept by the Baltimore Orioles as they sent Clay Buchholz on the mound on Sunday.

Darnell McDonald earned the loss after the Sox depleted their available bullpen options and were forced to [...]

Aaron Cook Injured, Battered by Orioles in Red Sox Loss

By ⋅ May 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Aaron Cook was hoping for a better first start in Boston. A much anticipated debut for the Red Sox on Saturday was shattered early, as a second inning collision with Chris Davis left a large gash in his leg. He amazingly stayed in the game, but probably would have been better off hitting the showers, [...]

Red Sox Continue Winning Ways in Pitchers’ Duel

By ⋅ April 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was very refreshing to see Boston get off to such a great road trip, and that hasn’t let up. Thanks to a 1-0 victory against the White Sox, that streak now stands at six. However, Chicago could have done better. The most important play of the game came in the first inning, with Chicago [...]

Ross Homers Twice in Red Sox Victory Over Twins

By ⋅ April 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Cody Ross must be quite the social animal. Through his first four home runs this season, at least one teammate had always been on base, waiting at the plate to celebrate with him. But sometimes, even Ross has to go it alone. Ross homered twice – one two-run, one solo – tying and then giving [...]
