Over the Monster

Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images The Red Sox week in review dives into Wilyer Abreu, Roman Anthony, and our All-Stars. After a few weeks off, the MMBB—much like Oasis—is back. I’m glad to have you with me once more, folks. Even after a prolonged period of time between Brushbacks, I feel like I’m about to write an intro that I have dozens of times over the past few years: … [Read more...] about Monday Morning Brushback: Still Here

Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images Even the rain made this a sloppy game! This was an exhausting game to watch. A 17 minute rain delay seemed to change the complexion of this one. The rain put some rust on the Red Sox, making defense look sloppy, pitching look inconsistent and the offense cooled off for the most part until late. Still, this is a massive win for the Red Sox and … [Read more...] about Red Sox 6, Nationals 4: A Sunday slog leads to a series sweep

Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Man, a sweep would feel good here. Our ace lefty up against another lefty, this one making his debut. Red Sox bats slugged against a southpaw yesterday, can the bats bring it again today? ⚾️ First Pitch: 1:35pm TV: NESN Radio: WEEI Closing out the road trip! pic.twitter.com/RyNOfuHiBS— Red Sox (@RedSox) July 6, 2025 ninety. … [Read more...] about Game 91: Red Sox @ Nationals – Crochet vs Ogasawara

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images The Sox score 7 in one inning for the third time in a week! Alex Cora did more than tinker with the lineup; he rebuilt the engine, replaced all the fluids, and then detailed the exterior. Nate Eaton led off, Roman Anthony went third, Rob Refsnyder batted cleanup as DH, while Jarren Duran slotted in seventh. It worked, … [Read more...] about Red Sox 10, Nationals 3: Offense explodes and Buehler behaves

A couple notable characters took 95 north up to Maine for the next couple of weeks, so let’s get into it! Worcester: L, 0-4 (BOX SCORE) It was a bullpen … [Read more...] about Minor Lines 7/4: Tanner Houck solid in rehab start in Portland

Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images The offense has come back to life recently, so can Walker Buehler please not implode? Buehler (who really puts the walk in Walker) takes the mound today. Cross your fingers and hope chaos does not ensue. Keep an eye on that suddenly hot offense too; hopefully they can pick him up if he needs it. Let’s get after it—go … [Read more...] about Game 90: Red Sox at Nationals

Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images Or at least not the way I expected it to look. Before the regular season started, I wrote an article predicting that the AL East would look more like how it had fifteen years ago, with the Red Sox and Yankees vying for first place, and the rest of the AL East scuffling and trying to catch up. Given the high expectations around the Red Sox … [Read more...] about The AL East doesn’t look the way we expected it to look
