    Orioles 7, Red Sox 5: Reminders of the good Wade Miley, bad Eduardo Rodriguez

    BALTIMORE — The good news for the Red Sox is that Carson Smith will be finally throwing to live hitters Tuesday. Considering what Wade Miley did to his old team Thursday night at Camden Yards, the possible return of the injured reliever is really the only solace the Red Sox can extract from a...

    John Farrell insists Andrew Benintendi is not a platoon player

    BALTIMORE — Like Dustin Pedroia, Mookie Betts and other highly-touted Red Sox prospects before him, Andrew Benintendi is taking his lumps. After kicking off his career like a ball of fire, the Red Sox rookie left fielder has fallen on hard times. It has led to decreased playing time, with Red Sox...

    Are the Red Sox, Orioles done feuding? Adam Jones thinks so

    BALTIMORE — Adam Jones sat in the home dugout prior to his team’s series finale against the Yankees as confident and direct as ever. Sure, his team had won just four times in its last 18 games, while going 1-8 in the last nine. But listening to Jones, it was hard to decipher any doubt...

    Why Aaron Judge isn’t playing for the Red Sox

    The conversation about why Mike Trout wasn’t taken by the Red Sox in the 2009 draft is always an easy and interesting one. It was chock full of stories and lessons. (To read some of them, click here.) Now with Trout out of action for seven weeks due to thumb surgery, we turn to the current...

    Red Sox lineup: Pablo Sandoval may be activated, but will start on the bench

    Even though Pablo Sandoval is available, didn’t mean he was going to jump right back into the starting lineup. The Red Sox will keep Deven Marrero at third base for at least one more game, slotting in Josh Rutledge to play second in the place of Dustin Pedroia, who was placed on the 10-day...

    Chris Sale explains why he hasn’t shaken off a catcher in 6 years

    There would seem to be plenty of unique elements to Chris Sale’s existence, including the pitcher’s ability to get the kind of results the Red Sox have been the beneficiaries of for the past two months. But perhaps the most incredible aspect of Sale’s existence is so subtle few have taken the...

    White Sox 5, Red Sox 4: David Price was good enough, everything else was bad

    The Red Sox blew a save for the first time in the month of May Monday. They also didn’t actually put on an offensive clinic against a White Sox team basically trying to piece together nine innings with a bunch of relievers. But there was David Price. Losses are losses, and with the Red Sox...

    It’s time to reset the David Price conversation

    It’s time for a reboot. David Price needs it, and so do the Red Sox. When the starter takes the mound Monday, it will have been 541 days since his introductory press conference at Fenway Park. By the time another 541 days pass, it will be Nov. 19, 2018. And when that day in November rolls around...

    Why Dustin Pedroia was pulled from the game Thursday night

    When the top of the sixth inning rolled around Thursday night, there was no Dustin Pedroia on the soaked Fenway Park field. That suddenly filled what had been a damp and dreary night with some immediate intrigue. But a few innings later, the team did everything they could to temper any fears that...

    Red Sox 6, Rangers 2: They can live with this Drew Pomeranz

    Drew Pomeranz looked like a pitcher that was out to prove something. The Red Sox starter came out of the gate against the Rangers Thursday night and struck out seven of the first nine batters he faced. But by the time Pomeranz exited his outing, walking off the soaked Fenway Park field, the...
