RED SOX RUMORS & GOSSIP
Scott Atchison, One of Major League Baseball’s Best Relievers?
Scott Atchison of the Boston Red Sox is a 36 year old right handed relief pitcher who kind of looks like he’s 46. Atchison doesn’t throw very hard and doesn’t have great breaking stuff but he gets big league hitters out. Scott was drafted in the 49th round of the 1998 draft and made his debut with the Mariners in 2004. He spent all of 2006 and all of 2008 and...

Important Red Sox weekend ends in disappointment
Alfredo Aceves blown save on Sunday prevented what would have been a big win for the Red Sox
It was supposed to be a moment of sorts on this Boston Red Sox season. They were supposed to finish off a weekend series against the Rays with a 2 games to 1 win, get a game over .500 and close in on the wild-card and American League East lead. A team that had was written off after a terrible...

Adrian Gonzalez Starting to Find His Power Stroke, Claims He Now Has 'Consistent Feel'
BOSTON -- Adrian Gonzalez scampered across the base paths, sporting a huge smile. Upon crossing home plate after his three-run homer, the Red Sox slugger showed a rare outpouring of emotion. At the time of the blast in Sunday's 4-3 lead, Gonzalez managed to lift the Red Sox to a one-run lead. Despite squandering the win in the ninth inning, Boston took solace in Gonzalez'...

Sunday Red Sox Delight - 5/27
Hindsight is 20/20 but the moves Boston Red Sox skipper Bobby Valentine made during the game last night almost cost his team the game.
Luckily for him, one of his later moves bailed him out when he had Jarrod Saltalamacchia pinch-hit for Marlon Byrd in the 9th inning. All Salty did was deliver a two-run walkoff homer against Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney to give the home...

Jarrod Saltalamacchia Gives Boston Red Sox Win With Walk Off Home Run
When he entered the game in the bottom of the ninth, Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney was a perfect 14 for 14 in save opportunities. Thanks Jarrod Saltalamacchia Rodney is no longer perfect. After the hard throwing righty walked Daniel Nava to lead off the inning, Nick Punto executed a perfect sacrifice bunt to set up a chance for the Boston Red Sox to tie the game. In place...

Adrian Gonzalez 'Not Happy' With Early Exit, But Bobby Valentine Defends Decision to Yank Him
BOSTON -- Adrian Gonzalez wasn't anticipating an early exit. After belting a single in the sixth inning of Saturday's 3-2 win, the Red Sox right fielder -- usually a first baseman -- was expecting to grab his glove and return to the field. Instead, he was pulled for pinch runner Che-Hsuan Lin. With the game deadlocked at zero, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine didn't want...

Video: Red Sox catcher fights off dehydration, hits walk-off homer
BOSTON -- The stretch of 20 games in 20 days wore on Jarrod Saltalamacchia. After days and weeks of crouching down at the backstop, the Red Sox catcher had grown dehydrated in recent days. With fatigue consuming his body, Saltalamacchia was hooked on IV's in an attempt to regain lost fluid. That's what made Saturday's walk-off, two-run homer in the 3-2 victory more spectacular...

Interview with Reynaldo Rodriguez
Recently I had a chance to do a quick interview with Red Sox prospect Reynaldo Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a 26 year old slugger out of Colombia who is currently playing for the Portland Sea Dogs. He has a powerful bat and was discovered by the Red Sox in an independent league when he was playing for the Yuma Scorpions. In 2009, he was named the Independent Leagues top prospect...

Guest Post - Why Bobby V. Needs to Keep Gonzalez out of Right Field
Bobby Valentine playing Adrian Gonzalez in right field is a fireable offense. Will Middlebrooks has been everything Red Sox management and fans could hope for here in his first stint with the big club, but it is time to send him back down to AAA. The Fenway outfield has been taking out Red Sox left and right. I realize the Sox are down to their 6-7-8 outfielders, but Adrian...

Jon Lester Is No longer an Ace for the Boston Red Sox
Last night, Jon Lester was roughed up by the Tampa Bay Rays who scored seven runs on six hits and three walks. The Rays blasted three home runs against the Boston Red Sox lefty and Lester lasted just four innings, his second shortest outing of the season. After yesterday’s game, Jon Lester has a 4.72 ERA and a 4.31 FIP, both worse than any season long total since he became a...

Red Sox 1st Quarter Report Card
The Red Sox have reached the quarter point in the season and with high school and college graduations occurring everywhere I thought it would be fitting to hand out grades on each individual’s performance thus far in the season with the coaching staff included. With a 10-3 record over their last 13 games the Sox have finally reached the .500 barrier at 22-22 which has certainly...

Recap: Offense bails out Bard in afternoon win
Daniel Bard couldn't get through the 6th inning, but 13 hits from the Red Sox offense allowed the team to squeeze past Baltimore, 6-5.
Bard struggled with command, walking four in addition to giving up five hits over five and a third innings. Bard's strikeout count was down, too, as he had just two, both of which came late in his outing. He got the win, moving to 4-5, but...
