Josh Beckett put the Red Sox in an early 3-0 hole after 3 innings, and the Red Sox could never recover against young O’s lefty Brian Matusz.  Beckett ended up yielding those lone 3 runs through his 7 inning outing, but it wasn’t the shutdown performance that the club was looking for.

Jon Lester picked up his 14th win of the season with a dominating 3-1 win over the Rays in Tampa on Friday night.  Lester pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball (the run was unearned because of Marco Scutaro’s error), scattering 2 hits and 5 walks during the outing.  He racked up 10 K’s and [...]

It looked like the Red Sox had put Thursday’s horrific 9th inning loss behind them, as they staked ace Josh Beckett to an early 8-2 lead after 3 1/2 innings.  But then the wheels came off and the Red Sox ended up losing 10-9 in 11 innings.  Is this the beginning of the end for [...]

Clay Buchholz clearly might have needed a rehab start or 2 before returning to the big leagues following his leg/hamstring injury.  The Red Sox squad was thrilled to get Buchholz back (in theory), but the results on the field were not so hot.  Buchholz clearly looked a little “out of sync” during his short start [...]

It’s almost Spring Training, so it must be that time for Red Sox 2nd baseman Dustin Pedroia to have to get used to playing with another shortstop.  In recent years, Pedroia has played with Julio Lugo, Jed Lowrie, Nick Green and Alex Green.  This February – it’s going to be newly signed shortstop Marco Scutaro [...]

Alex Gonzalez signed a 1-year, $2.75 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays last week.  That means that the Red Sox will have to look elsewhere to fill the void at the position.  The Red Sox acquired Gonzalez from the Cincinnati Reds during the middle of the 2009 MLB schedule.  In 44 games, Gonzalez batted [...]

This year, unlike any other, GM Theo Epstein and the Red Sox will have to be at the top of their game in order to stay ahead of the curve.  With a “weak” free agent market, there are few options for the Red Sox to target.  If the Red Sox were to fail in their [...]
