But Can He Pitch?
Welcome back to our 2025 Red Sox Postmortem. After talking about the things we loved and hated, grading Craig Breslow and Alex Cora, reevaluating the Rafael Devers trade, handing out individual awards, and assessing whether the season was a success, today we turn our attention of the offseason. What should be Craig Breslow’s top offseason priority? Acquiring a #2 […]
Good morning. The greatest baseball player of all-time did the greatest thing that’s ever been done on a baseball field last night. Talk about what you want and be good to one another.
If you asked me six months ago what I thought the Red Sox lineup would look like by season’s end, my answer would have been shockingly wrong. Going though each section of the diamond, here’s where my general thought process stood in April: If you stack all this up, I was probably thinking of a […]
October 17th, 2004. The Boston Red Sox are down three games to none in the ALCS against the Evil Empire, their dreaded rivals — the New York Yankees. Kevin Millar, who has already made his now-famous “Don’t let us win tonight’ quote, leads off the bottom of the 9th with a walk. Terry Francona makes […]
It wasn’t all that long ago when Red Sox fans were dreaming of Vlad Guerrero, Jr. hitting after Rafael Devers in the lineup, when Red Sox Twitter was awash in photoshops of Vladdy, Raffy, and Juan Soto (Juanny?) all wearing the red ‘B’.

Craig Breslow is probably riding high right now. The Red Sox made the playoffs. Garrett Crochett looked excellent. The lineup needed Roman Anthony. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman looked good – as did some of the other bullpen members. Over the Monster has, to various degrees, called this season a qualified success. But more needs […]
Craig Breslow is losing another member of his front office. Devin Pearson, the Red Sox director of amateur scouting since 2023, will be following Paul Toboni to the Washington Nationals. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe) As director of amateur scouting, Pearson was heavily involved in the draft and building up the farm system. That work obviously […]
I’ve been a Pokemon fan for just as long as I’ve been a Red Sox fan. With the release of Pokemon Legends Z-A for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 today, I thought it could be fun to match up Red Sox players with their Pokémon counterparts and put a team together. Note that […]
Major League Baseball named three Red Sox players as Gold Glove finalists yesterday: last year’s right field winner Wilyer Abreu, defensive staple Ceddanne Rafaela, and Carlos Narvaez, who is probably a top ten rookie of the year. It can’t be understated how much stability the 26-year-old from the Yankees organization provided the Red Sox in […]
