Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
A light Monday slate, along with some of the Yanks’ rivals facing each other, made for a quiet night. The good news about these teams playing each other is that someone has to lose. The bad news is someone has to win. Monday, for example, Boston and Tampa took down Toronto and Cleveland, respectively. With […]
In June of 1858, Abraham Lincoln warned us that “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Fast forward eight score and seven and a half years later, and he might as well have been talking about the 2026 Boston Red Sox. Given the backdrop, it’s all too fitting that the conflict and internal turmoil within […]
After Friday night’s record-setting win over the Red Sox, Birdland should have been feeling good about the O’s winning their first AL East series of the season. After all, Baltimore went into the weekend with ace Trevor Rogers taking the ball Saturday and former top-5 Cy Young finisher Kyle Bradish pitching the series finale. Perfect […]
The camera loves Payton Tolle. He’s constantly giggling his way through interviews, or comparing being in the major leagues to eating a steak or something. During games, he’s shown celebrating at the top step of the dugout or in the middle of some shenanigan. From afar, it seems like each time he’s on camera for […]
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you enjoy the off day? After two losses to the Red Sox, including one absolute beatdown, it was nice to get away from baseball for a day. After losing the series to the last-place Red Sox, the Orioles welcome the last-place Astros to town for a three-game series starting tonight. […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! Last night, Chad Tracy sent Ranger Suarez back to the mound for the eighth inning after throwing 90 pitches through seven innings. The Alex Cora-led Red Sox likely go to the bullpen with a five-run lead in that spot. Did you like the move to send Suarez back out? On […]
They say what goes around comes around, and in a game in which walks played a pivotal part in the Marlins’ handling of Dodgers’ ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the same applied for the Dodgers against closer Pete Fairbanks to set up a comeback win—Kyle Tucker had his first signature moment as a Dodger, delivering a two-out […]
Red Sox 5 Blue Jays 0 Any game where your team only gets one hit is not going to be a good game. Jesús Sánchez had our hit, a double. That and Davis Schneider’s walk, gave us two base runners on the day. Whoops make that three base runners, Daulton Varsho doubled in the ninth, […]
It was Ernie Clement hockey sweater night in Toronto, and the Sox won 5-0. Sorry to Ernie Clement, but you stink now. Them’s the rules. Ranger Suarez doesn’t. He is good. He is very good! And there was much rejoicing. Three Studs Ranger Suarez This was an incredible performance. Eight innings, no runs, one walk, […]
We get the Red Sox, with their new manager, for however long he lasts, for the next three games. And, we’ve had the post on Max Scherzer, we won’t have him to kick around (more like other teams won’t have him to kick around) for at least the next 15 days. I wonder if he’d […]
Hey look, Roman Anthony’s back! That’s nice. The Sox are in Canada for the first time this year to take on the Blue Jays tonight at 7 p.m. Here’s who’s playin’ behind Ranger Suarez: As for the World Series American League Champions, Dylan Cease leads the Blue Jays on what I understand to be Ernie […]
Well that sure was a weekend. Back-to-back wins. Scoring 17 in 1 game. A Caleb Durbin home run. The coaching shuffle. Alex Cora out, Chad Tracy in. And now the Red Sox are off to Toronto to play the Blue Jays in a Battle of AL East Disappointments. The Jays realized their rotation wasn’t quite […]
For the most part this season, I’ve left the monologues out of the beginning of my Minor Lines because the performance of the farm seemed pretty separate from the uninspired performance of the Boston Red Sox. But, this recent plethora of changes directly influences the farm even though the result of the games themselves are […]
Listen, I’m just thankful that the week is over. A road trip in which the team went 1-6 is nothing to exactly be thrilled with, but look hard enough and you’ll see some players that had good weeks. They’re a lot more difficult to find than those that had bad weeks, but they are there! […]
The Orioles have gone 3-3 over the last week. You might have been hoping for more since they were playing two last place teams in this time, and there was the extra factor of the Red Sox firing their manager mid-series. Yet it was the Orioles who got embarrassed in the game before Boston chucked […]
The Boston Red Sox pulled the trigger on a major coaching staff change this weekend when they fired manager Alex Cora and several assistant coaches. There is a brewing player revolt happening because of it, but the Red Sox made the decision to move in a different direction. They’re not playing particularly well and since […]
By all accounts, Alex Cora is a good manager as far as these things go. Dan is correct in that you really can’t predict or even properly judge a manager’s contributions except in obvious outlier situations, but the buzz around Cora has always been positive. His strongest claim to fame is winning a World Series […]
Happy Monday, everyone. The big news from over this weekend, of course, was the firing of Red Sox manager Alex Cora. The Red Sox are among the teams that have been struggling to start the season, but they are the first to take such drastic action. Alongside Cora, the team fired five additional coaches in […]

Long time readers of the MMBB know that I like to divy these articles up into three points discussing three things that caught my attention across the previous week. They could be positive trends, concerning developments, or stuff about the Red Sox that I just find amusing and fun. Either way, I like to give […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Anything big happen over the weekend? What a whirlwind we’ve gone through in the last few days. Managers being fired, CBOs being pinned for drastic organization changes, questions about which players would be saying what in the clubhouse after Alex Cora’s departure, the works. But as a way to start […]
It’s been a weird weekend at Camden Yards. Neither of the games have been close, and the Red Sox have fired half of their coaching staff. Saying it that plainly would make you think the Orioles have outclassed the Red Sox all series. But that wouldn’t be true. Sure, the O’s looked amazing in the […]
It’s a new era of Red Sox baseball with Chad Tracy at the helm for his first game. While we won’t know for sure what will look different with Tracy in charge, here are a few quick takeaways from the lineup. 1:35 pm first pitch on NESN+ (because of the Bruins) and WEEI. Lineups
The knives are coming for Alex Cora. They always do whenever John Henry and FSG are involved in the departure of a major Red Sox figure. But the fact that Alex Cora has plenty of friends in the media and the game writ large will make the next few weeks extremely interesting as reports about […]
Saturday saw the Yankees extend their win streak as they picked up another fairly comfortable win over the Astros. Trent Grisham, José Caballero, and Austin Wells all homered as the Yankees picked up the win to take their eighth consecutive game. The win streak has seen the Yankees vault towards the top of the standings […]
