Red Sox Begin Big 10-Game Homestand Tonight @ Fenway Park

It’s not do-or-die, but if the Red Sox do not have a successful 10-game homestand at Fenway Park, they could have a very tough time making the 2010 playoffs.  The Red Sox just dropped 3 straight to the lowly Orioles in Baltimore over the weekend.  They are 3 games under .500 at 11-14, and they [...]

Daisuke Matsuzaka Looking Good… Actually Great!

Look out Red Sox fans, Daisuke Matsuzaka is looking pretty nasty these days.  Dice-K tossed 6 shutout innings for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday night, overwhelming the Buffalo Bison with some nasty pitches.  He gave up 3 hits and 1 walk during his stint.  He also had 3 K’s.  57 of his 86 pitches were for [...]

Done Deal – Red Sox, Josh Beckett Announce 4-Year Contract Extension

Looks like the Red Sox aren’t too concerned with Josh Beckett’s bad opening night start against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park on Sunday.  Things weren’t all quiet despite the off-day on Monday in Boston as the Red Sox announced that they had agreed to a new 4-year extension with the ace of their [...]

Josh Beckett Misses Scheduled Sunday Start

Josh Beckett missed his scheduled turn in the rotation on Sunday.  He is battling some sort of flu or virus, so the club did not want to take any chances with their ace.  It does not appear to be arm or leg related or any other pitching related injury.
This is very strange.  Let’s hope GM [...]

Tim Wakefield Looks Sharp in Spring Debut

Tim Wakefield tossed 3 shutout innings in his spring debut in Tuesday’s 9-0 win over the Florida Marlins.  Wakefield stymied a hard-hitting Marlins ball club that had been raking the ball so far this spring.  Wakefield needed just 30 pitches (22 strikes) to record his 9 outs.  He gave up 2 hits and struck out [...]

Dice-K Slowed by Sore Back – Not Good

Pitchers and catchers don’t have to report until tomorrow, but we already have word of one player who is slowed by injury – Daisuke Matsuzaka.  Matsuzaka spent 2 stints on the disabled list in 2009 and ended up starting just 12 games for the Red Sox, going 4-6 with an awful 5.76 ERA and 1.87 [...]

Will Red Sox Try to Lock Up Victor Martinez?

Red Sox GM Theo Epstein & Co. Have their work cut out for them this coming season and off-season.  We’ve already discussed the pending Josh Beckett free agency, but the Red Sox also need to anticipate what they want to do with the catcher position.  Victor Martinez is their every day catcher for the 2010 [...]

Dustin Pedroia Getting “Used to” Another Shortstop — Marco Scutaro

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 [...]

Theo Epstein Ready for Spring Training to Start Now

Red Sox GM Theo Epstein is looking forward to the start of Spring Training.  Epstein had a busy off-season – signing free agents – pitcher John Lackey, center fielder Mike Cameron, shortstop Marco Scutaro and 3rd baseman Adrian Beltre.  He also traded for outfielder Jeremy Hermida.  He’s had to deal with questions of how the [...]
