Red Sox name WooSox’ Chad Tracy as interim manager
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Chad Samuel Tracy and he comes from the land of baseball lifers. While he is decidedly not the Chad Tracy who spent the bulk of a mid-sized career with the Diamondbacks in the early part of this century, this Chad Tracy has spent his entire […]
Red Sox fire Alex Cora, and most of the coaching staff
The Civil War that’s been bubbling beneath the surface clashing Alex Cora’s and Craig Breslow’s philosophies on how to run the Boston Red Sox finally came to a head on Saturday evening. The rumbles started with this tweet from Jared Carrabis … … And were confirmed within the hour across the baseball universe. Noticeably not […]
Alex Cora wasn’t to blame for the Sox’ slow start, but maybe it was just time to move on
It’s hard for me to get overly upset about Alex Cora’s sudden ouster this afternoon. This is a man who returned to the team after a one-year suspension for cheating, after all, which is a very weird thing to have happened. We were always on borrowed time, and for a good amount of that time, […]
Red Sox 17, Orioles 1: Crochet and offense snap skid
Recap The second inning showcased what Sox fans have been waiting for all season: hits in the air, a stolen base, a couple of walks, everyone keeping the line moving. The Sox sent nine batters to the plate and scored three runs, breaking the spell and waking us, and themselves, from the stupor of this […]
Game 27: Red Sox at Orioles, Crochet on the Mound
Game time was moved up due to inclement weather. Can this be the shakeup that begins to turn things around for the Sox? We’ll just have to see how this plays out. How to Watch and Listen First pitch is at 12:05 PM ET on NESN and WEEI. Lineups
Red Sox 3, Orioles 10: Baltimore buries Boston from start to finish
I think 20 hits and six home runs against says it all. Thank you, next. Studs Wilyer Abreu (2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI) You go down 4-0 after a single frame, what would you hope happens? A home run in the top of the 2nd could have been just what this team needed to turn […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: 0-4 night drops Franklin Arias’ OPS to… 1.340
Worcester: L, 0-3 (BOX SCORE) The Mets pitching staff pulled off a fantastic bullpen game on the uninspired WooSox offense. Worcester got just two hits on the night on the six pitchers Syracuse marched out, which totally upstaged whatever goodwill the Worcester staff got by allowing just one extra base hit on the night. There […]
Red Sox News & Links: Brayan Bello’s rotation spot safe for now
It’s more than fair to wonder whether Brayan Bello is on the verge of losing his spot in the starting rotation. Bello has been the Sox’ clear weak link, posting an ERA of exactly 9.00 after 5 starts this year. But with Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo currently on the shelf, Alex Cora says Bello […]
Game 26: Red Sox @ Orioles – Bello vs Young
I’m already exhausted with this team. Can we survive this night? ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:05pm ET —Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
Series Preview: Red Sox at Orioles
But enough about the Yankees series. Let’s move right on. The Red Sox are headed to Baltimore to play the Orioles. Baltimore is 12-13 and Boston is 9-16 and on a three-game losing streak. Things haven’t gone great for the O’s while missing Jackson Holliday, Adley Rutchman, Tyler O’Neill, Ryan Mountcastle, Zach Eflin and playing […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Yes, Franklin Arias hit another home run
Worcester: W, 10-4 (BOX SCORE) No Payton Tolle, no problem. Alec Gamboa rolled to a six-strikeout performance that got messed up by a home run ball, but the bullpen held the Mets scoreless the rest of the way. Meanwhile, the WooSox may have stranded 11 men on the night, but they slammed the door through […]
Where do the Red Sox shake things up?
The 2026 Red Sox season can’t continue as is, right? After a 9-16 start, the team finds itself seven games behind the New York Yankees after a three-game sweep in Boston this week. On Thursday night, Fenway Park felt alive again for the first six innings, as Payton Tolle struck out eleven Yankees and left […]
Is Roman Anthony about to bust out of his slump? Ex-Red Sox, WBC hitting coach believes in him
Roman Anthony had the weight of the world thrown on his shoulders by the Red Sox and the front office’s failure to construct a contending lineup around him. Last June’s trade of Rafael Devers and the subsequent free-agent departure of Alex Bregman left little to fear in Boston’s offense. Anthony did produce at a high […]
Yankees 4, Red Sox 2: Payton Tolle gives club fleeting spark
The Boston Red Sox have left us collectively feeling like we’re living with a diabetic. If you want some juice, you gotta go elsewhere. Payton Tolle, however, knew we were missing out and brought his own on Thursday, putting together a stupendous performance during his season debut against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park […]
Game 25: Yankees at Red Sox; Payton Tolle starts, Roman Anthony doesn’t
TV: FOX, NESN+ First Pitch: 6:10 p.m. ET The Red Sox are looking to salvage a series against their most hated rival on Thursday at Fenway Park. The Yankees are looking to bury them. Boston will roll out yet another interesting lineup in the series finale, as they remain without Roman Anthony (back soreness). Jarren […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Yes, Franklin Arias hit another home run
Worcester: L, 6-7 (BOX SCORE) Anyone noticing Dave O’Brien and Lou Merloni having some sophomoric fun during the Red Sox’s second consecutive scoreless game by repeating the 6-7 meme about, as our own Bryan Joiner put it, “about 6-7 months late”, the scoreboard of the WooSox game has some bad news. The game looked to […]
Are the Red Sox soft? Their pitiful play in poor weather sure seems to suggest so
Before Tuesday’s game against the Yankees, Sam Kennedy joined Tom Caron on the NESN pregame show and gave us the following answer when asked about the team’s lack of power: “We gotta start hitting the ball out of the ballpark. I think a lot of guys are gonna start to heat up. I was actually […]
What is your level of concern with the 2026 Red Sox?
With the Red Sox off to a dreadful 9-15 start, it’s time to pause and assess the level of concern among the fanbase. So on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being not concerned at all and ten being “this is going full Bobby Valentine season,” where do you reside? Personally, I’m at […]
Yankees 4, Red Sox 1; Offense no-shows once again
The Red Sox feel absolutely hopeless offensively. Absolutely hopeless. Was a slow start expected given the personnel at the plate? Yes. But this is borderline unwatchable. Boston narrowly avoided another shutout in a 4-1 loss and dropped its first series of the year against the Yankees. New York has a sweep on the table with […]
Game 24: Yankees at Red Sox; Ranger Suárez enters rivalry start
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox should believe in Ranger Suárez after a pair of improved starts. Ultimately, that won’t matter unless they can score for him. The Yankees shut out the Red Sox on Tuesday night for the first time at Fenway Park since 2020. Now, Boston returns to action […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Yes, Franklin Arias hit another home run
Worcester: L, 3-12 (BOX SCORE) This opening game against the Mets was never in doubt. The WooSox were dominated all night and had just one extra base hit, a double by Nick Sogard. Meanwhile, the pitching staff started off on a semi-wrong foot with Isaac Coffey failing to get out of the fourth inning despite […]
Red Sox News & Links: Sox call up pitching prospect Eduardo Rivera
Oh, you thought the Red Sox had pitching depth? Lol, you’re cute. This is 2026, finding actual pitching depth is harder than transiting Hormuz. And with the Sox already looking for arms, Craig Breslow is turning to a AA pitcher who has never thown a single inning of MLB ball. Eduardo Rivera, the 33rd ranked […]
Thanks to MLB’s expanded playoffs, the Red Sox still aren’t out of it
There have been a lot of words spilled about the Mets and the Giants and the Blue Jays and the Red Sox potentially ending their October dreams, well, already. Seeing things like “only 3% of teams playing this poorly have gone on to make the playoffs” makes it sound like a done deal. But for […]
What’s the least enjoyable Red Sox team of your lifetime?
It’s bad enough that the Red Sox are struggling out of the gate. But we are also constantly hearing complaints from fellow fans that the 2026 Red Sox are no fun to watch. It’s hard to blame them. They only managed to score four runs in three games over the weekend! They are nearly being […]
Yankees 4, Red Sox 0: Lifeless lineup limps its way to another lackluster loss
One of the most unfortunate things about being an American sports fan is you’re relentlessly inundated with erectile dysfunction advertisements. Are you unable to perform like you used to? Having trouble getting it up? Not making enough hard contact? The saving grace is these inquiries are generally quarantined to the commercial breaks. But lately, and […]
