Lester Has Become The Stopper For The Red Sox
Jon Lester is 4-0 after Red Sox losses this season
Clay Buchholz has been the early story for the Red Sox rotation so far this year with his dominating start but the #1 man in the rotation, Jon Lester, has settled into an important role as the Sox’ resident “stopper”. The Sox have been plagued with inconsistency in the back end of their rotation with the injuries and otherwise...
Clay Buchholz Wins Amica Pitcher of the Week Honors for Dominant Performances Against Blue Jays, Twins
Clay Buchholz may not have picked up any more wins in the past seven days, but the Red Sox starter is still undefeated on the season after two more impressive performances this week.

Twins look to blemish Buchholz' spotless record
The Minnesota Twins nearly handed Clay Buchholz his first loss of the season 11 days ago.
Now, the Twins will have another chance to send Buchholz home a loser as they host the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.
Buchholz (6-0, 1.69 ERA) was outstanding en route to six straight wins to begin the season, posting a 1.01 ERA during that span. In his seventh start, however, he surrendered...

MLB Game Picks - Friday: May 17, 2013
For a short schedule, Thursday was a good day. Seven of nine correct is a fine tally. But as always, it was the two that got away that get all of my attention. If you reread yesterday's version, you can even see me say that Jonathon Niese was due for an overpowering performance. And yet, I still picked against him because it was the Cardinals he was facing at home. The Mets...

Clay Buchholz- Legit Or Not?
Clay Buchholz K/9 is definitely going to come back down to earth. His velocity hasn’t changed from last year, his SwStr% is around career norms, and he’s throwing fewer pitches in the zone.

However, Jack Moore over at FanGraphs writes:
So what’s new? Via last night’s Blue Jays broadcast, Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said Buchholz’s...
Red Sox’ Potent Offense Continues Strange Trend of Faltering With Runners on Base
BOSTON — The Red Sox don’t really have a problem producing baserunners. Once guys get on base, though, things tend to become awfully difficult.
The Red Sox missed out on a ton of scoring chances on Friday, yet it became a footnote in a 5-0 win because Jon Lester was almost perfect. Clay Buchholz wasn’t as perfect on Saturday, and the Sox’ futility with runners on base ultimately...
Clay Buchholz Has Solid Showing Against Blue Jays, Proves Cheating Accusations Unable to Get in His Head (Video)

Adam Lind hit a tiebreaking homer off Boston closer Junichi Tazawa leading off the ninth inning to lift the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
It was just the fifth win in 16 games for the struggling Blue Jays, who blew a 2-0 lead in the eighth.
Toronto's Mark Buehrle had outdueled Clay Buchholz and had the Blue Jays in position to send him...
Clay Buchholz, Jack Morris Iron Out Differences, Pitcher Has No ‘Ill Feelings’ Toward Anyone
BOSTON — Following Clay Buchholz’s last start against the Blue Jays, a media firestorm ensued because of accusations made against the right-hander. Everything is back to being peachy, though.

Game 37: Blue Jays at Red Sox - Buch 'em
Ben Whitehead
Contributing Writer
Boy, was Jon Lester masterful Friday night or what? Now, Clay Buchholz needs to duplicate his performance (with or without sunscreen). The Boston Red Sox (22-14) go for their third series win against this Toronto Blue Jays (13-24) this season. Buchholz (6-0, 1.40 ERA) will be facing the Blue Jays for the first time since last week’s accusations...
Buchholz, the Bullfrog and the Blue Jays: Part Deux
The Guru
Contributing Writer
It does not look like you will need your sunblock at The Fens today. If the Red Sox are able to get the game in, it shapes up to be a good one.
It's Buchholz, the BullFrog and the Blue Jays part deux.
With their last lonely tear barely dry from getting spanked May 1, Clay Buchholz looks to tear through the Blue Jays lineup again. (Anyone notice...
Red Sox look to continue winning ways vs. Jays this weekend
Losers of six out of their seven, the Boston Red Sox try to finish a seven homestand on the right note with the Toronto Blue Jays, who come to Fenway Park for a three game weekend series. Boston has had early season success against the Blue Jays winning four of the first six meetings in 2013. In the 2012, the Red Sox went 2-7 vs. Toronto at home but were swept in the final two...
Blame game is for the boorish
I guess they have to find something to whine about, whether the Red Sox are winning or if they start losing.
I find it rather boorish, don't you?
It is true that they are facing a bit of adversity in their pitching staff, that there was a collision that accounted for two players being banged up this week, and that the opposition has fallen to blaming Clay Buchholz for doctoring...
Everybody's free to wear sunscreen, including MLB pitchers like Clay Buchholz
Wearing sunscreen at the ballpark is probably a good idea for fans and players. No need to risk melanoma when you're out there under the sun.
However, Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz allegedly has more in mind than protecting himself from skin cancer by applying sunscreen to his arms. More specifically, his left arm.
According to Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan...
Clay Buchholz is not using sunscreen and rosin
I'm ready for this story to be over, along with everyone else except a couple of dumb ass Toronto radio personalities.
Clay Buchholz is saying he wasn't using sunscreen, though he has used it in the past, for sunny day games. You know, to be safe.
Herald:
“I’ve used it in the past, but that wasn’t on my arm at any time this
season,’’ Buchholz said. “Day...
Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester Earning Cy Young Buzz From Bettors After Early-Season Success
No pitcher has repeated as the American League Cy Young winner since the Red Sox’ Pedro Martinez in 1999 and 2000. It sure doesn’t appear that reigning winner David Price will do so this year, either.
The Tampa Bay lefty is 1-3 with a 6.20 ERA for the struggling Rays and is now not even a current betting option at Bovada to win the award.
Your new favorite is Clay Buchholz...
KEEP IT MOIST
Buchholz substance identified?
Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz has been accused of doctoring the ball but denied wrongdoing. Has the mystery substance been identified?
Boston Red Sox Clay Buchholz’s ‘Mystery Cheating Substance’ Identified
Yahoo.com:
Yahoo! Sports’ own Jeff Passan found out what Boston Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz was putting on his arm recently. It wasn’t only rosin, as Buchholz claimed, and the reason it looks like sweat is because it goes on clear. And — depending on your definition of a spitball — it’s not something to help him throw illegal pitches, per se, as Toronto Blue...
Buchholz is preventing skin cancer while getting a better grip
It looks like we have found an answer to what is on Clay's arm. Sunscreen and rosin. Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports has done some research, and has found out that nearly every pitcher in the league does it.
Two veteran pitchers and one source close to the Red Sox told Yahoo!
Sports that about 90 percent of major league pitchers use some form of
spray-on sunscreen ...
