The Tampa Bay Rays came to town with Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz and Chandler Simpson hitting all over Fenway Park.
How can the Red Sox overcome their challenges and is Willson Contreras returning anytime soon after being hit by a pitch? Also, why are we pinch hitting for Masataka Yoshida but not Caleb Durbin?
Mickey Gaspar returns to the majors and makes us wonder why he ever left!
**correction - the Red Sox will play Philadelphia at home, not away

Red Sox managerial staff is gutted. Alex Cora gone, Pete Fatse gone, Ramon Vazquez fired, and more.
How do the Red Sox recover and move in a different direction?
Major Congratulations to Chad Tracy as he assumes the role as Interim Manager.
Red Sox will finish up against the Baltimore Orioles and move on to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros.

Recapping the Red Sox/St. Louis series and opener in Minnesota.
Against the Cardinals, there were encouraging signs of life with the bats as the Sox took their second series in a row.
Willson Contreras seems unstoppable, Trevor Story starts a 9th inning run that leads to the Sox batting around. Jarren Duran has his first home run of the season.
But against the Twins, Garrett Crochet missteps in his appearance at Target Field, giving up 11 runs including a grand slam.
How do we get on a steady track to stop this madness?
Well, at least the Blue Jays and Yankees are struggling too? =\

Red Sox have strung together 2 wins in a row to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers.
Red Sox relievers Tyler Uberstine and Tyler Samaniego just made their Major League debuts after being promoted from AAA Worcester.
On the heels of a road trip to St. Louis to face the Cardinals, can Boston keep this going and build on the momentum? The Sox are about to see Dustin May as the starter in the series opener who comes into the game with an ERA of nearly 16!! This should be a very good opportunity.
We’ll go around the league to see how Rob Refsnyder and Brennan Bernardino are doing with their new clubs.
Go Sox!

Sonny Gray showed up to this battle against the San Diego Padres in Electric Fenway Park where the Red Sox’s bats came alive with home runs from Willson Contreras and Marcelo Mayer.
Aroldis Chapman finished the job by recording the save which allows him to surpass Jonathan Papelbon on the All Time Save Leaders in MLB History.
The water was dirty and Caroline was sweet as I joined Red Sox Nation in attending the Home Opener.

Oh dear, we were flying high after the MLB Opening Day where the Red Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds with Garrett Crochet at the helm.
Since then, we have fallen mightily with Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez and Brayan Bello failing to keep control of the Reds and Astros lineups.
With the home opener against the San Diego Padres coming up on April 3rd, can Fenway revive the vibes?

This is not a drill!
We have trudged our way through winter and made it out on the other side!

The thaw in the northeast is hopefully upon us!
The Red Sox are back at JetBlue Park. Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, Trevor Story and Co. are getting off to a good start and we’re excited to watch the 2026 roster take shape.
There’s no Alex Bregman but we have Willson Contreras, Caleb Durban, Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez and so many more additions to be happy about and Opening Day is just around the corner.
We’ll also recap what a ray of sunshine Joe Castiglione is and the Red Sox participants in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
