Photo by Duane Burleson/Getty Images It’s time to talk about pitching injuries. Again. Tanner Houck struggled to return to form as the clock ticked down on his rehab assignment. And now we may know why. Houck is currently back in Boston submitting to tests on what appears to be a reoccurrence of the right pronator strain that originally sidelined him back in May. He’ll … [Read more...] about Red Sox News & Links: We won’t be seeing Tanner Houck for a while

David Banks-Imagn Images And no runs in response. It got late early Saturday night, as the Cubs jumped on Brayan Bello for three runs thru two innings and never gave up a run on the way to a 6-0 victory. About the only thing that went right was keeping Reese McGuire hitless. He can get his own jollies. Three Studs Bryan Bello Yes, he got knocked around early, but he … [Read more...] about Cubs 6, Red Sox 0: Taken deep too often

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images A rough night for Red Sox pitching across the board in the first few frames. To watch baseball in any capacity on Friday felt like a 1976 hit single by Thin Lizzy, because the boys were back in town! Unfortunately, the result of watching baseball was the Red Sox snapping a ten-game-win streak following the All-Star break, as I match … [Read more...] about Minor Lines 7/18: So, about that All-Star break…

Kim Klement-Imagn Images But not as fun as it used to be. Who remembers the old days of Red Sox Kid Nation? Did anyone else take part in it, or have had kids who did it? My sister and I were loyal members of Kid Nation until we both outgrew it. Not that either of us asked to get signed up, but my parents paid the fee so we could get free tickets in the grandstand area, … [Read more...] about Red Sox Kid Nation: Still a thing

We walked into the abyss and made it out the other side. In a weird sense, it feels to me like the 2025 Red Sox season starts today. This team has shown that it is capable of either the sublime (the … [Read more...] about OTM Open Thread 7/18: We made it
