The Red Sox lose yet another game.

A gloomy day at Fenway to end the homestand! Could the Red Sox pull a rabbit out of the hat or would they hop on a plane to the Steel City steeled by their own sorrows?

Key Moments T2: Pickoff!

Given an early lead, what a slick pickoff move from Brennan Bernardino, appearing as an opener.

T3: A Comedy of Errors

The Sox lead the Majors with 20 errors. This isn’t fun! They also wouldn’t hold a lead for the rest...

He may not be an immediate plug-and-play, but it’s good to know help is on the way.

Good morning! Tanner Houck had the best night of his Major League career yesterday. Although three of the four Red Sox farm games were decided by 9:03 PM, when the last Cleveland out was recorded (!) and Boston had won the game, I think I can joke around and say he inspired at least the upper minor league pitching on how to sling it on the mound....

Also Tanner is our King

Happy Thursday. Tanner Houck tossed a Maddux last night - a complete game in less than 100 pitches. And he also decided to make it a shutout. We already have a strong contender for Red Sox game of the year. That’ll be hard to top.

Remembering 2004

The Curse Breakers won again to bring their record to 13-6 on the season (current Sox at 10-9). Beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-0, Boston got a home run out of...

Welcome back to another edition of The Anatomy of An Inning. My name is Jacob Roy, and I pretend to know pitching better than the pitchers themselves. If you’re new here or need a reminder of what this is all about, I take an inning from the previous week or so and break it down, one pitch at a time. Each pitch should have a purpose, I’m...

Red Sox 2, Guardians 0: Tanner Houck’s Complete Game Masterpiece

Best game of his life imho. | Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports

THAT’s something you don’t see every day.

The Red Sox and Guardians did battle for the third time in three days and, readers, I missed the first few innings. It’s a long story. My car died and I lost my house keys and it’s a whole thing. Obviously I got back in the house. When I did, I learned that the Sox struck first on a freakin’ balk in the third inning by Guardians starter Ben Lively, fresh off the IL:

Welp.

— Rob Bradford (@bradfo) April 17, 2024

So the good vibes and hope from this morning that the Red Sox had dodged a bullet with Garrett Whitlock are (slightly) gone as he once again hits the IL. The Sox are hopeful it’ll be a minimum stay. In the meantime…well, the season that started 7-3 is has turned into a 2-6 run.

Rafael Devers is in the lineup at...

When I think of private equity, I think, for better or worse, of Mitt Romney. The former governor of Massachusetts and presidential candidate is one of the pioneers of the hollowing out of corporate America that’s destroying our country, its airlines, our sport, its uniforms and even its radio feeds... well, Mittens nonetheless is, without a question, a family man with a bedrock moral code.
