Is it on TV? Once again it’s on NESN. Moreover, it’s also on WHDH for locals who don’t have cable. The Sox have gotten a lot of crap in recent years for not broadcasting more spring training games, so let’s give them some credit for an increased broadcast schedule this spring. So far every game […]

Craig Breslow brought in a lot of new talent this offseason, but he didn’t plug every hole on the Red Sox roster. So for our question of the day today, we’re bending space and time to ask you this: If you could take one player from Red Sox history and put him on the 2026 […]

The Atlanta Braves’ bats were hot during Friday’s 15-8 win over the Boston Red Sox. It was an exciting third inning, as the Braves plated 11 runs and Ronald Acuña Jr. launched a grand slam. Mike Yastrzemski and Matt Olson also joined in on the fun and went yard. Altogether, the Braves racked up 13 […]

It’s pitching preview time, ladies and gentlemen. Over the next several days, I’ll be writing 10,000 words or so about everyone you might see pitching for the Red Sox to start the season. We’re done with the rotation options and are moving on to the bullpen. We’ll start at the back, with the high-leverage options. […]

A week of spring training is in the books and we finally have real life actual Major League Baseball games to talk about. There have been some fun moments with Rainiel Rodriguez doubling in his first at-bat and JJ Wetherholt going yard to dead center yesterday afternoon. I will refrain from caveating observations with spring […]

Just officially a month away from the Atlanta Braves’ opening day, the team’s offense is showing glimpses of high intensity and promise that fans are hoping will carry over into the regular season. Taking the win (15-8) against Boston, they’re ending the first full Spring Training week on a high note and ready to build […]

Is it on TV? It’s on NESN at 1:05 PM What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s been an… interesting spring training for Marcelo Mayer so far. The wrist surgery he underwent last August was said to necessitate only a three-month recovery and Mayer arrived at Fort Myers claiming he was fully healed […]

Another day, another Spring Training game day for baseball fans. After dropping a game yesterday’s performance to the Yankees with Carlos Carrasco on the mound, the Braves are set to face the Red Sox with a more competitive squad showing up, with Ronald Acuña Jr. batting leadoff, and a newly girded ace, Chris Sale, ready to […]

Barcelona now know their path in the Champions League knockouts as the Blaugrana will face Newcastle after the Round of 16 draw was made on Friday. The Catalans avoided the other possible Round of 16 matchup against reigning champions PSG and were also placed in the side of the knockout bracket without many — if […]

There were only 12 hitters in all of Major League Baseball in 2025 who logged over 650 PA and sported an on-base percentage over .360. Cincinnati Reds centerfielder TJ Friedl was one of them, and he was joined by a cast of characters who you may recognize – Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani, Geraldo […]

With Garrett Crochet taking the mound yesterday, I was reminded of how exciting it was to have two new stars on the 2025 Red Sox. Getting to know a new star — particularly an ace pitcher — is one of the most exciting things baseball fans get to do over the course of 162 games. […]

The rituals of Spring Training. Pitchers and catchers report. Batters and fielders report. Photos are taken that visually represent a player all year long, even if they shave their mustache (see Gonzalez, Romy). Sometimes these pictures are serious. Sometimes they’re silly, like the picture at the top of this piece, with Brayan Bello doing his […]

You know about Chris Sale. He’s a very good pitcher. He also tends to get injured a lot, sometimes in very strange ways. In 2024, he avoided getting injured until very late in the season, and won the NL Cy Young Award. In 2025, he broke his ribs diving for a ball with a sizable […]

Last week, Camden Chat’s Tyler Young wrote of Kyle Bradish: “All of this offseason talk around the Orioles’ ‘need’ for an ace seems to ignore the fact that they already have one in-house.” I’d venture to say they might even have two. That belief, of course, depends on how much you’re banking on Trevor Rogers’ […]

Baseball is a team game, with everyone on the roster contributing in their own way. Some players get the accolades, the awards, the Whataburger endorsement opportunities. But there are other players that grind, that do the “little things” that help the team win ballgames. Today’s question of the day is “who is the most underrated […]

Is it on TV? Yes, it’s on NESN at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s always fun when you get a first look at a new pitcher. It’s especially fun when that pitcher is a 6’6” beast of a man. And it’s even more fun when that beast of a […]

At this point in the Romy Gonzalez injury story, we don’t so much have updates as we have a slow reckoning with reality. Gonzalez injured his shoulder in late September and has not been able to participate in baseball activities ever since. Yesterday, he spoke to the media and conceded that he probably won’t be […]

Good morning! The Red Sox lost to the Pirates yesterday, with Ranger Suarez giving up a homer to the number one prospect in baseball, Konnor Griffin. Luckily, absolutely nothing that happens in a spring training game in February matters one stinking bit. In fact, if anyone remembers anything at all about yesterday’s game, it will […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Anthony Seigler. Have you not had enough infield depth pieces to read this winter? You’re in luck, because we’ve got more. This particular infield depth piece started 25 games at third base for the playoff-bound Brewers in 2025 after making his MLB debut in July. […]
