    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...

    Chris Sale explains why the criticisms of David Price are unfair

    Chris Sale is going to get a chance to finally share a rotation with David Price. With Price scheduled to make his 2017 major league debut Monday in Chicago, Sale can appreciate the path his first-year teammate has taken to come back from his left elbow ailment. “That’s not an easy road for...

Red Sox manager John Farrell announced before Thursday night’s game that Price will make his first start of the 2017...

    About seven hours before the Red Sox mounted their seven-run seventh inning on the way to a 9-4 win over the Rangers, John Farrell sat with the guys from the Dale, Holley and Keefe Show and addressed the FoxSports.com report that he might be on the hot seat. “I'll be honest with you, there's been...

    Dave Dombrowski preaching patience, not putting John Farrell in crosshairs

    Appearing on the NESN pregame show prior to the Red Sox’ series opener against the Rangers Tuesday night, Dave Dombrowski certainly didn’t sound like someone who was ready to fire his manager. In a five-minute interview with NESN’s Tom Caron, Dombrowski answered questions about both where he...
