Over the Monster

Photo By Winslow Townson/Getty Images Plus, the Sox reportedly pull Jarren Duran off the table. Aroldis Chapman is a very important part of the Red Sox roster. That’s particularly true this week as his trade market is no-doubt red hot, even if the Sox are unlikely to sell (or at least they better be). So it was certainly nervy yesterday, when he came into the 8th … [Read more...] about Red Sox News & Links: Aroldis Chapman injury update

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images The Red Sox week-in-review dives into Garrett Crochet, Ceddanne Rafaela, and potential targets ahead of the trade deadline. Well, would you look at that: even after one hell of a stretch against a trio of the National League’s best competition, the Boston Red Sox have not ceased operations. A still-functioning organization? Sure. A … [Read more...] about Monday Morning Brushback: Decision time

Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images It’s the start of the week, y’know, Hello and happy Monday, folks. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Our favorite baseball team—the Boston Red Sox, in case you needed reminding—will be taking to the land of 10,000 as they begin a series against the Minnesota Twins tonight. First pitch from Target Field is set for 7:40 p.m. EST, eh. All of this … [Read more...] about OTM Open Thread 7/27: It’s Monday, eh?

Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images Some close plays, an injury replacement, but a dub nonetheless! Are we breathing? Are we good? Man, that was a butt clenching, edge of your seat game for the most part. Walker Buehler just can’t get out of his own ways, which is frustrating and hopefully illuminating to Craig Breslow as he has big decisions to make this week. If there’s any … [Read more...] about Red Sox 4, Dodgers 3: A gritty victory to close out a series win

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images The former Dodger looks to get the series victory against his old club. This was so close to being an insane pitching matchup. Shohei Ohtani was slated to be on the mound for this one in what would have been must watch TV for most of anyone. Ohtani on the bump at Fenway would have been something. Instead, he’s stretched out to Wednesday so we … [Read more...] about Game 107: Red Sox vs Dodgers – Walker Buehler vs Dustin May

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images Welcome to trade deadline week. Are the Red Sox buyers? Are they sellers? Are they bumps on a log? We’ll know by this time next week. The post-All Star break has not been kind to the boys, but they’re still hanging around. For the first time in years, I think it’s fair to say we don’t know what’s going to happen. That’s exciting! … [Read more...] about OTM Open Thread 7/27: The point of no return awaits

Photo By Winslow Townson/Getty Images You can’t win if you don’t play. I have so many thoughts about the MLB trade deadline. Too many thoughts to focus on a one-by-one Smash or Pass approach. Too many thoughts over the front office’s tactics in recent years—how many times am I going to believe, as they tee up the football, that we’re playing together...until I go … [Read more...] about The trade deadline is here and it’s Craig Breslow’s move

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images Pig day! That’s what baseball is all about, folks. Your former star player at bat, representing the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning, with the best player in the world waiting on deck. You can’t script it much better than that, and fortunately for us Red Sox fans, it went the Red Sox way. The first inning continues to give the Red … [Read more...] about Red Sox 2, Dodgers 4: Pure Cinema

Matt Marton-Imagn Images Lefties! Get your lefties here! It’s pig day! Garrett Crochet takes the mound for the Red Sox against future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. Since the All-Star break, the Red Sox have yet to win a game other than the final game of a series. It’s game two of three tonight, so we’ll hope they can break that skid. Still no Mookie Betts tonight, at … [Read more...] about Game 106: Dodgers @ Red Sox
