The WBC kicks off this week, and players have already left their respective Spring Training camps to join their countrymen (or ancestral countrymen, at least). After they play some exhibition warm-up games against professional teams, both MLB and otherwise, on Tuesday, they’ll kick off official tournament play with Chinese Taipei at Australia in the Tokyo […]
Monday notes… Here are today’s particulars. Cubs lineup: Reds lineup: Jameson Taillon will start for the Cubs. Other Cubs pitchers scheduled today: Porter Hodge, Jack Neely, Collin Snider and Connor Schultz. Brady Singer will start for the Reds. Other Reds pitchers scheduled today: Brandon Williamson, Sam Moll, Yunior Marte and Sam Benschoter. Today’s game is on […]
I’m running out this morning, so I’m posting this early. The Red Sox are coming to Dunedin for a 1:00 Eastern game. There are a number of regulars (or at least guys likely to make the roster) in the lineup today. And Cody Ponce is starting, so there are reasons to watch. Today’s Lineups RED […]
In today’s installment of our daily thrice weekly occasional spring series, I wanted to ask about the World Baseball Classic. Exhibition games kick off tomorrow, WBC squads facing off against MLB teams. The Jays host Team Canada at their usual 1:07pm ET spring timeslot. Canada then visits the Phillies on Wednesday before flying to Puerto […]
Happy March, everyone! It feels like Spring Training only just got started, but we’re already at World Baseball Classic week as the games get underway on Thursday March 5th. It’s crazy to think that we were just complaining how it felt like winter would never end, and now we’re in the same month that will […]
Happy Monday, everyone. This is a great time to remind you that Nate Oats and company won at Tennessee on Saturday. Let’s have one more look at that game winner, shall we? It’s just so beautiful. Alabama softball dominated its home tournament as expected this weekend, and baseball had a successful weekend as well, winning […]
The calendar has officially turned to March, which means we get some honest to goodness, legit baseball to talk about. The World Baseball Classic begins this week, and in just a few weeks time the Boston Red Sox will begin their 2026 season in earnest against the Cincinnati Reds. Until the really good stuff can […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Happy March, too. The World Baseball Classic starts this week! That’s awesome! A total of 14 players within the organization—the baker’s dozen I highlighted a few weeks ago on OTM plus Roman Anthony—will be competing in the international tournament. That leads to the question of the day: which of those […]
Opening Day is 25 days away. For now, spring training games continue. The Orioles bring a 4-4-1 spring record into Sunday’s contest against the Red Sox. This one will air on TV and radio in the Baltimore area, or wherever you are in the world as long as you can access MASN or WBAL/98 Rock […]
Is it on TV? Yes, it’s on NESN, first pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? How about this infield configuration, huh? For most of this spring — including in team fielding drills outside of a game setting — Marcelo Mayer has been at second with Caleb Durbin at third. […]
Playing in the American League East is the worst. It’s an absolute gauntlet every year, with 2026 looking to be no exception. That’s at least in part due to the quality of the starting pitching. The Red Sox have one of the better groups in the division, if not Major League Baseball. I’ll give Boston […]
Hello, friends. We have made it to the month that has real Orioles baseball! It is March and Opening Day is 25 days away. From now through the 23rd, though, the O’s will be playing near-daily exhibition games to keep getting ready for the season. A road trip to the Red Sox spring home awaits […]

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 […]
Welcome back to our preview of 2026 Red Sox starting pitching. If you missed the bulk of the preview last week, check it out below. Today, we turn our attention to the back of the back of the rotation: the depth starters. Now that we’ve been through the nine pitchers who are fighting for spots […]
