But Can He Pitch?
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox nearly came back from a three-run deficit in the series opener against the Braves. The offense has finally put together a few solid performances as of late, though there haven’t been plenty of wins to show for it. Boston will try to get early run […]
Chad Tracy isn’t the first Red Sox manager, although he is the first to take over mid-season in a while. He’s also the first mid-season replacement since the ownership group led by John Henry purchased the team. Through 26 games, Tracy is sitting on a record of 12-14 after Alex Cora took the team to […]
Worcester: W, 6-3 (BOX SCORE) On a night the Red Sox broadcasters remembered a Nate Eaton double off the top of the Green Monster’s ladder, he hit a home run that was instrumental in the Worcester club taking the series’ first game in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Yankees AAA), putting the game out of reach, especially with an […]
Good morning! As of today, two things about the 2026 Boston Red Sox remain true: This paradox makes it very hard to think about how the team should approach the trade deadline, which is now only 59 games away. Just yesterday, we heard reports that the Sox were already looking for a right-handed bat to […]
I’ll give the Red Sox this: they can successfully sabotage everything else six ways to seven, but Fenway Park is beautiful until the end. Among MLB stadiums, it’s exactly as spiritually lovely as Wrigley Field, and if there’s anything at which these two environs have been the best to ever do it, it’s lulling the […]
For a while, in the early part of this game, it looked like the Red Sox were on their way to a satisfying victory. Ranger Suarez got through the first inning on eight pitches and held Atlanta scoreless into the fifth, Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela led things off with back to back home runs, […]
On the most beautiful weather night for baseball so far this year at Fenway Park, Ranger Suarez tries to post yet another beautiful pitching line (he’s already held opponents to zero earned runs in five starts this year). Lineup wise, the most interesting detail is Mickey Gasper starting at catcher, and while that’s most likely […]
The Red Sox at Fenway Park in 2026 is a very on brand for the year 2026. You walk up Lansdowne Street excited for a game and then they actually start playing. Boston opens the series at 22-30, last place in the AL East, against a Braves team that is 36-18 with among the best […]
Marcelo Mayer is now officially the Red Sox shortstop (for now, anyway) but there are a lot fewer questions about his glove than there are his bat. And when it comes to his bat, it isn’t hard to pinpoint where the issues lie: “He’s 1 for 35 since his call-up on changeups, a .029 average […]
Before the season, I thought that the brand of baseball the Red Sox were committed to would be good for my personal brand as the Red Sox pitching breakdown guy. In a way, it has been. I’ve gained many Twitter followers (Thanks for the shoutout, Tyler Milliken), and my pieces around here are generally well-received. […]
Happy Tuesday, OTM! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and day off from Red Sox baseball. Rather than thinking about what’s happening on the field, I’m wondering about your game day routines. When you head to the ballpark, what are you getting to eat? Personally, I’m a sausage with peppers and onions guy. […]
Worcester: PPD, Rain The Red Wings (Nationals AAA) and WooSox postponed the final game of this series until the week of June 9-14 after yesterday’s storm that made the Red Sox game such a mess. Rochester and Worcester, unlike Boston and Minnesota, face each other another time this season, so it was an easy decision […]
What do you even want me to say at this point, respectfully? Before I get on my soap box and complain for however-many words, let me just quickly say that I appreciate the fact that you’re here. It’s a holiday Monday, you could’ve done anything else with your long weekend, and yet you decided to […]
Hello folks, hope you’re able to enjoy an off day today. The Red Sox do not play baseball today, thankfully. Very simple and plain question for you today: is it over? I think it just might be, but I want to hear more from you. Be good to each other and go Sox.
The conditions at Fenway Park were sloppy for Sunday’s series finale between the Red Sox and Twins. It rained at various intensities from the first pitch to the last, and while the grounds crew did an excellent job keeping the field playable, the conditions were a factor. For the Red Sox, that manifested in the […]
The Red Sox are looking to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins today on a rainy s Sunday. They’ll give the ball to Sonny Gray, who probably hopes the game is postponed so he can pitch on a day that is better described by his first name rather than his […]
Recap Jovani Moran had the responsibility to keep the Twins in check for the first inning in order to provide a soft landing for Brayan Bello in his bulk-pitching era. Well, today wasn’t that day: Moran allowed hits to the first three Twins batters, then a run-scoring sacrifice fly immediately after that. Despite needing all […]
Hold onto your hats (and your hearts) folks. We have Jovani Moran on the mound to start, who’ll soon make way for Brayan Bello. Bello has been good in two relief/opener outings with this guardrail in place but with an overall 2-5 record, a 7.15 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.80, he feels like a […]
Worcester: L, 1-12 (BOX SCORE) The Red Wings (Nationals AAA) had the WooSox’s number for the duration of the night, as only two Worceter batters recorded a hit (Matt Lloyd and Braiden Ward.) But it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Jack Anderson got shelled, allowing six runs off nine hits including two home runs, both in […]
Chad Tracy stepped into this role with an interesting résumé. Years developing hitters in the Red Sox minor league system, building lineups with pieces that weren’t quite ready for prime time. Now he’s doing it in the majors, where the margin for error is different and the stakes are real. The early returns: 23 games, […]
Studs Peyton Tolle (6.0 IP, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 Ks) Look, did Tolle have a rough second inning? For sure. But this was a truly professional outing for Tolle that he hunkered down and put down Twin after Twin through the remaining four frames. For a young starter, this is the growth you want […]
These teams honestly could be twins this seasons…almost identical records, not great offenses, stuck in weird places. Still, these Minnesota Twins shouldn’t be taken lightly, as the funniest man on the team takes the mound for the Sox tonight! Welcome to the long weekend for Memorial Day! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:10pm — Fenway Park, Boston, […]
The first matchup of the Red Sox and Twins, in Minnesota, was memorable for two things: Garrett Crochet getting hit so hard he’d eventually land on the IL, and the big breakout (of 2026) for Connelly Early. As they flew home to host the Tigers, the Red Sox stood at a 7-11 record, the opposite […]
Rochester Red Wings 9, Worcester Red Sox 4 (BOX) The Woo Sox used up all of their firepower in the first inning on Thursday night against the Red Wings (WAS). Anthony Siegler’s three-run double, and Allan Castro’s RBI single gave Worcester a 4-0 lead after one, before Rochester got the final nine runs. Primarily a […]
Back in February, ZiPS projections were posted, and they did not have a single Red Sox player reaching the 20 home run threshold. Twitter/X got a hold of this and ran with it, becoming an easy talking point for those who felt that Craig Breslow’s offseason effort to fix the power in the lineup fell […]
