After losing three of their past four games at home, the Boston Red Sox will try to regroup on their six-game road swing. That journey begins when they open a three-game series against the St.

How ‘bout that catch?!
By now, I suspect you’ve seen the internationally famous catch—make that two catches—by Mariners fan Josh George. He’s shown us that one foul ball is nothing anymore, when it’s been estimated there are approximately 46 foul balls hit into the stands each game. If you don’t know, Foul Ball Guy caught two long fly balls in foul territory along the left field line in Seattle the other night. Oh yeah,...

A comeback fallen short at Fenway Park Wednesday evening.
After a tough loss last night when they needed to support Tanner Houck’s semi-off start, the Boston Red Sox looked to close their homestand out on a high note. Could they steal some sunshine from Tampa or would the Rays burn the Sox red?

Hangin’ with my man
With the Tampa Bay Rays up two games to one in this four-game affair it’s time for the. Red Sox to tie things up.
Cooper Criswell (2.10 ERA/3.89 FIP) as so far out pitched the Rays Zach Littell (3.02 ERA/2.50 FIP) but the underlying numbers show he probably should have given up a few more runs across his starts. With Ceddanne Rafaela’s tremendous defensive though the magic act...

Jake, Keaton and Bob discuss the pitcher injury crisis in baseball, which players in history we wish we saw play, and some minor roster moves.
Welcome back to The Red Seat Podcast, episode number 316. On this week’s episode, Jake Devereaux, Keaton DeRocher and Bob Osgood discuss the pitcher injury crisis in baseball, Josh Winckowski’s demotion, Cooper Criswell’s role, and where Rafael Devers should hit in the Red Sox lineup.

Plus, Marcelo Mayer continues to find a way to get on base. So, too, does Miguel Bleis.
Garrett Whitlock is rehabbing well, Marcelo Mayer with three base appearances, and Ryan Zeferjahn keeping a scoreless streak. Still, with all that, if I had a dollar for every run Worcester and Portland combined scored, I couldn’t buy gum, not even at Walmart.

But Garrett Whitlock looks ready to return.
Needless to say, it’s been a rough start to Vaughn Grissom’s Red Sox career. The infielder has just five hits in nine games since returning to the IL. It looks like the bout with the flu he suffered just as his rehab stint was winding down took a heavy toll on his body, as he still hasn’t returned to his playing weight. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
Hopefully Garrett Whitlock’s rehab...

And a series to tie today!
Happy Thursday.
Last night wasn’t the same rush as Tuesday when the Red Sox walked off after 12 innings. Dropping that game just hurt. The absence of Triston Casas is apparent every single day.
Boston can tie the series against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight when Cooper Criswell takes on Zack Littell at 7:10 PM ET.

The righty has some of the nastiest stuff in baseball.
I can’t begin to imagine how much relief pitchers hate the current extra-inning rules. Welcome to the game. Through no fault of your own, there’s a runner on second base with nobody out. If you do your job well and get a ground ball and a flyout, you’ve likely lost the lead. Good luck!
The SituationPretty much exactly what I said above. It’s the top of the tenth inning...

The Sox lose the game the second Tanner Houck comes out.
The Red Sox entered Wednesday night 1.5 games ahead of the Rays, and looked to turn that to 2.5 games early as Connor Wong drove home Jarren Duran in the bottom of the first:

Houck Day
The goal tonight: win in less than 12 innings. I mean, we’ll take 12 inning wins. Or 13, 14, 15, etc.
But a nice, easy win would be good too.
Since his complete game Tanner Houck has tossed 6.0, 6.2. 6.0, and 7.0 innings for the Red Sox. He’s thrown between 91 and 99 pitches to do so. He’s been the face of the rebuilt rotation. He can carry them to the win if the bats give him something to work with.
He’ll be...
The Boston Red Sox picked up a walk-off win last night over the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in 12 innings. The Rays jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first with a solo home run by Josh Lowe.

What a win
Happy Wednesday. It took 12 innings and an unlikely hero in Romy Gonzalez but the Red Sox topped the Tampa Bay Rays last night to move to 22-20 and send Tampa back into losing record territory. And ace Tanner Houck is on the mound tonight.

In a topsy-turvy season, Jarren Duran is a sign of progress.
The evolution of Jarren Duran has been a fascinating one.
The seventh round draft pick in 2018 was originally graded for his speed primarily. But by the time he came up to the Majors, some scouts had given him a 55 grade on his hit tool to go with his 70 speed, projecting him to be a big extra-bases hitter who put bat to ball with line-drive contact and created havoc on the base...
