Recap: Everything goes wrong in Francona's return to Fenway

The Sox got trounced against Cleveland, 12-3, in between rain drops at Fenway tonight. They failed in basically every possible way. The offense was non-existent. David Ortiz slugged a three-run homer to account for the runs. Daniel Nava reached base four times -- two walks, two hits -- and everyone... Continue reading

The White Sox handed Boston its second straight loss in a 3-1 win at US Cellular Field. Chicago starter Jose Quintana dominated, holding the Red Sox hitless into the 7th inning before unraveling.

Recap: Lackey error undermines a solid start in Sox loss to Minnesota

The Sox lost their third in a row and sixth out of seven, dropping Thursday night's contest 5-3 to the Twins in a soggy Fenway. Starter John Lackey turned in yet another impressive start, although his final line doesn't look special: He gave up five runs on six hits over... Continue reading

Recap: Diamond shuts down Sox in 6-1 loss

In a pretty boring 6-1 game in which the Sox got just four its and made three errors, you might expect me to be negative in the post, but I'm going to focus on the positive. With just-decent starts out of staff leaders Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, uncertainty out... Continue reading

Recap: Sox win weird one in Toronto, 3-1

Baseball can be a weird game, and tonight's 3-1 Red Sox win over the Blue Jays was just that. Don't let the low score fool you: The teams combined for 15 walks, added to a combined 13 hits made for a lot of stranded runners. And some pretty bad baseball... Continue reading

Mike Napoli's historic night, on a graph

Via @ESPNStatsInfo comes this fun nugget: Mike Napoli hit two 460+-foot bombs last night and was the first player to do so in eight years. Or maybe they just haven't looked at data beyond 2004. OK, the tweet is pretty vague and I'm not finding any info online. But look:... Continue reading

Recap: Lester struggles in 9-7 loss to Toronto

The Sox' early season success has been a result of -- more than anything -- starting pitching. Yes, the bullpen is better. The chemistry is great. David Ortiz is hitting like Barry Bonds. And as far as management goes, John Farrell is a slightly better tactician and motivator than Bobby... Continue reading

Daniel Bard's minor league pitching coach is the anti-Bill Belichick

Gordon Edes has a pretty substantial piece on Daniel Bard's return up over at ESPNBoston, and it had a quote that got me thinking. You know how Bill Belichick is beloved around the world (sans New York and Pittsburgh and Baltimore, and OK, just in New England) for trashing his... Continue reading

John Lackey threw 67 pitches yesterday in a rehab stint with the Portland Sea Dogs, going 3 2/3 innings and giving up three hits against five strikeouts. Nice job, Lack. I continue to be optimistic about what he can bring to the Red Sox this year. Even better, Lackey followed... Continue reading
