Red Sox Outfielder Proving Value from the Leadoff Position

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is off to a scorching start this season. It’s become apparent that he’s a much-improved player at the plate. It wasn’t always pretty for the California native in his first three seasons in the majors.

And another setback for poor Whitlock

Sigh

Damage in the UCL ligament for Whitlock. He will see doctor in Birmingham later this week. Surgery possible.

Sure took a little wind out of the sails of the win last night. But not all of it.

Remembering 2004

In 2004 the Red Sox advanced to 30-18 after the first 48 games of the season. Manny Ramirez and Big Papi lead the way against the Seattle...

Garrett Whitlock goes down with elbow damage. Again.

Well, it happened again — or at least it looks like it’s about to happen soon. The Red Sox have announced that Garrett Whitlock has suffered ligament damage in his elbow. He’s traveling to Alabama this week to receive further consultation, then it’s possible that he will need his second Tommy John surgery, putting him on the shelf for the rest of this season and probably the...

The Red Sox May Have Trapped Themselves In Schrödinger’s Contention Window

This Red Sox team is a clash of contradictions, and it’s driving me crazy! Also, they might be tracking to win the World Series in 2025.

All at once, the Red Sox are both a great baseball team and a terrible baseball team. A polarizing paradox of phenomenal pitching and poor plate appearances. An odd roster with both sides balancing out the other in an intriguing, yet unsatisfying stalemate.

On Monday, the BrooksGate baseball...

Red Sox Slugger Makes Team History

Rafael Devers just made Red Sox history. Yes, you read that right. In the 123-year history of the ballclub, no Boston hitter has achieved the slugger’s recent feat.  In the fourth inning of Boston’s 5-0 win over the Rays, Devers smoked a ball to left field for a home run.

Sox rolling on all cylinders as offense and defense both shine

The Red Sox came into the game just off a big win, but having lost two of three to St. Louis in their last series. They lost three of four to the Rays at Fenway last week, and while the teams have similar records, hovering around .500, the Sox entered the contest one game below while the Rays came in one game above it. The Rays recently passed the Sox in the standings to claim...

The Incredible Houck

The Red Sox had lost four games in a row heading into Sunday’s Roku broadcast and it turned out that a new broadcast was the shot in the arm the bats needed.

Now they’ve got Tanner Houck on the mound today. Last week the Sox lost Houck’s start as he gave up 3 runs (1 earned) over 5.2 innings. Like basically that entire series and the first two games against the St. Louis Cardinals it was winnable. Before...

Can he homer in his sixth straight game tonight?

When I was in first grade I had a shirt with a illustration of Roger Maris on it, celebrating the record 61 homers he hit in 1961. I did not buy this shirt for myself, obviously. I was seven years old, my net worth was about $11, and I had never even considered where clothes came from (they just came with the house my parents bought, maybe??) But my mom, who did not know anything about baseball and...

Boston Red Sox Hitters Need to Meet their Pitchers Halfway

The number one thing on Boston Red Sox fans’ minds during this past offseason was pitching. Comments made by the front office gave a starved fanbase glimmers of hope that landing Yoshinobu Yamamoto was a legitimate possibility, and Jordan Montgomery joining the squad seemed like a forgone conclusion.
