— Our Blogs and Nothing But Our Blogs Sox Therapy: The First ThirdWith the Sox having completed the first third of their schedule on an 84-78 pace I’m feeling purdy smart. Having said that they’ve gotten here in a path that frankly I’ve found dramatically different than I anticipated with the most noticeable difference being that a team I thought would be pretty dull when the season started has actually been pretty entertaining. They bookended the first 54 with two entertaining losses; rallying from 8-2 down to lose 10-9 on Opening Day and then last night’s ...

But as with the big club the early returns are relatively positive down on the farm. Let’s take a moment to look at the state of things there. 1B - Niko Kavadas - AA - .220/.404/.317 - As stat lines go that is definitely one. In 109 PA Kavadas has got 64 TTO events; 38K, 24BB and 2 homers. The K:BB rate is good but to find success the long ball is going to have ...

No you shut up)With the National Hockey League having decided to cancel this year’s playoffs it looks like the only option for Boston sports fans is the Local Nine. After a month of baseball things are decidedly adequate. The Sox so far have about played to expectations clocking in at 15-14 with a potent offense (3rd in runs/game) and a pungent pitching staff (12th in runs/game). Not coincidentally the defense has also been poor with only juggernauts Kansas City, Oakland and Chicago below them in Defensive ...

I mean really, what the hell has this all been about? Four series in and had the Sox won on Patriots’ Day it would have been the first time in their 123 year history that all of their first four series were sweeps. They actually came close in 2021 before losing the fourth game of the fourth series by a run as well. Anyway, have we learned anything in the first few weeks? I don’t really think so. Mostly it seems that we have just confirmed that most of what we expected when the ...

With that said some random thoughts; Good: - OK, the Boston Red Sox are going to score some runs. The offense was both impressive and relentless. Say what you want about Kiké Hernandez but he’s a hell of a hitter to have ... Read More...Page 1 of 177 pages 1 2 3 > Last › | Features Archive | Site Archive
