Boston Red Sox Face Tough Roster Decisions
The Boston Red Sox are just one game below .500 after their 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies today. The past 10 games, the Red Sox have gone 8-2 and things are finally starting to click for them. Today’s starter Josh Beckett has now been dominant in two straight outings, Clay Buchholz, who will get [...]
Boston Red Sox Still Struggling with Streakiness
The 2012 Boston Red Sox have been a fickle bunch. They have four streaks of three or more losses and three streaks of three or more wins. Their longest winning streak has been six games and their longest losing streak has been five games. During their winning streaks they have appeared to the 91 win [...]
Scott Atchison: Boston Red Sox New Super-Reliever
Yesterday, I looked at how the Boston Red Sox bullpen has gone from being the worst in the game to being the best over the past two weeks. One player who has been solid since the very start of the season is Scott Atchison.Atchison leads all major league relievers in innings pitched with 24 innings [...]
Boston Red Sox Bullpen Goes From Worst to First
On April 21, The Boston Red Sox held a 9-1 lead over their rivals, the New York Yankees, when starter Felix Doubront gave way to Vicente Padilla for the seventh inning. What followed was an complete and total bullpen collapse of epic proportions. Padilla, Matt Albers, Franklin Morales, and Alfredo Aceves combined to allow eleven [...]
Adrian Gonzalez in Right Field: A Bad Idea or Necessary Evil?
Tonight the Boston Red Sox will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia in the first interleague game of the year. That means this weekend will see David Ortiz playing first base and possibly Adrian Gonzalez playing right field.

If I would have made the prediction before the season that in the third week of May the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies would both be in last place in their respective divisions I would have been laughed at. I probably would have been taken about as seriously by the baseball community as Kathy [...]

Youkilis became eligible to come off the DL yesterday, May 14, but he is still not fully recovered [...]
Is Josh Beckett Tipping his Pitches?
Today, Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett will make his second start the since the ridiculous controversy surrounding his off-day golf game began. The Boston Red Sox are not concerned with the issue of Beckett playing golf after he was told to miss a start, but they are concerned about his performance. In his last start Beckett was roughed [...]
Boston Red Sox Pitcher Jon Lester Goes the Distance for a Rare Complete Game by a Sox Pitcher
In what may have seemed like an aberration to Boston Red Sox fans on Monday night was indeed a big performance for team ace Jon Lester. Lester not only picked up the 6-1 win against the offensively deficient Seattle Mariners, but he went the full nine innings. A Red Sox pitcher going six or seven [...]
Should We Be Surprised About The Struggles Of The Boston Red Sox?
During the offseason I wrote an article predicting the struggles of the Boston Red Sox. While some of my colleagues and readers disagreed, it was a bold statement about the poor decisions leading up to the start of the 2012 season. The Boston Red Sox did not look like a team that was built to [...]
