Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Get your steps in Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation. I couldn’t decide if my blurb here should be about walking 11 Angels, or the blistering heat on the East Coast. I decided to combine the two. Don’t walk in the sunshine today, it’s dangerous. Don’t issue 11 free passes to a mediocre lineup, either. That’s potentially more dangerous. As … [Read more...] about OTM Open Thread 6/24: Walkin’ On Sunshine

DAVE MASON/THE STAR / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images We got some momentum. Let’s keep it going. Sure, the Red Sox lost yesterday but broadly things have been pretty good recently even accounting for, ya know, The Trade. So let’s hope tonight’s 9:38 (sure) game goes well. Here are the ‘nups: Game 1 in Anaheim. pic.twitter.com/I2SUbRaf4d— Red Sox (@RedSox) June 23, … [Read more...] about Red Sox at Angels lineups: Let’s not Mickey Mouse this one

Eric Canha-Imagn Images Because what’s better than naming random dudes? In the middle of a topsy-turvy season, it’s become clear that the 2025 Red Sox have some holes in their roster. That’s the nature of the sport—every team has its own Achilles heel. You can’t wave a magic wand and fix all of your problems as a club in one fell swoop. What this article presupposes is: … [Read more...] about Which random dude would you add to the 2025 Red Sox?

David Butler II-Imagn Images Another week, another set of West Coast start times. Hello and happy Monday, folks. If you’re reading this, I’m currently in Bermuda. I’m writing this open thread post ahead of time so that I don’t have to interrupt my designated margarita schedule. Maybe the weather is as nice up there as it is down here right now (even though I have no … [Read more...] about OTM Open Thread 6/23: California Love

Photo by Trinity Machan/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images I mean come on. No one expected much out of Hunter Dobbins back when pitchers and catchers first reported in February. But his 59.1 perfectly cromulent innings this year have been huge for a Red Sox pitching staff that, outside of Garrett Crochet, really struggles to find consistency. So it hurts, then, to hear … [Read more...] about Red Sox News & Links: Hunter Dobbins to IL with strained elbow

Nothing will make you feel better than seeing the top two affiliates scoring 22 runs between them until you realize none of these guys are on Boston’s roster right now.

Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images Let’s try this matchup again After a disappointing series in San Francisco, the Red Sox head to Anaheim to face the Los Angeles Angels. These will be games 80, 81, and 82 on the season. It’s not early: it’s midseason. And despite a hot couple weeks the Red Sox enter at 40-39, just a single game over .500. They’re (barely) on the … [Read more...] about Series Preview: Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels, located in Anaheim

D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images This was a really crappy loss in a number of ways. An absolute game of back and forth undone by sheer frustration on multiple ends. What went wrong in this one? Play 1: Abraham Toro called out by home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski in the top of the 4th for “being out of the baseline”. Toro came steaming home on a double by Ceddanne Rafaela, … [Read more...] about Red Sox 5, Giants 9: Series streak snapped in San Fran
