Red Sox Through the Month of March

 


    The Boston Red Sox started off their 2025 regular season campaign on March 27th against the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers. The Sox had lofty expectations headed into the Regular Season. Notable additions being super star left handed pitcher Garret Crochet, 2 time World Series champion Walker Buehler and Houston Astros super star 3rrd baseman Alex Bregman.

    The Boston Red Sox put up a fantastic showing on opening day with a 5 inning performance from Garret Crochet giving up 2 earned and 5 hits. Not the strongest but with Garret Whitlock in the rotation the Red Sox were able to weather the Ranger offense until the dynamic duo of Kristian Campbell and Wilyer Abreu showed up and showed out. Kampbell in the late innings came up huge with competitive at bats leading to his first base hit and and set up walk. Abreu made the noise on opening night with a pair of homer runs including the game winner in the 8th inning.

    While opening day went well for the Sox in Albrighton the Red Sox went into some tough adversity early dropping there next straight 4 games. The Red Sox fell to a 1-4 record with big losses to the Texas Rangers and then Baltimore Orioles. Superstar Rafael Devers could not find his groove on the dish going 0/19 with 15 strike outs was an all time stat line for the history of the sport. An infamous moment in the career for the Sox super star slugger. 

    The Red Sox made some huge moves during the break locking their Ace Garret Crochet on a 6 year 170 million dollar extension and up start prodigy Kristian Campbell to an 8 year 60 million dollar deal. The two players responded in a big way for the club. The Sox on the verge of falling to 1-5 on the season had Crochet on the mound who pounded the O's. Crochet went 8 scoreless with 8 K's straight bullets. Campbell has also emerged in the early going here as one of the top young players in the sport. Boasting a .423 BA and 1.323 OPS the offensive stat line is elite. Campbell has 11 hits 2 bombs and 5 RBI's already. The Sox have an exciting young player at 2nd locked in for years to come.  

    The Red Sox would go on to win their last game in Camden yards followed by a dramatic series of offensive fire power in their Home Opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. With a pair of back to back home runs from Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu, the Red Sox are on a role currently. Rafael Devers has started to look a bit like his old self which is vital for this team to perform to their expectations of contenting in the American League East division. The Boston Red Sox are currently 4th in the division with a 4-4 record. A strong home stand will go along way for this team to climb its way into the top of the division. 

Red Sox lace them, up tomorrow for game 2 against the Cards at 4:05 at Fenway Park.

Week 1 Pats/Bengals

Image
          The NFL season has kicked off with the New England Patriots heading into the Jungle, Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio. The Patriots started the week as the biggest underdog in the slate of NFL games this week. I am no gambler but to the loyal Foxboro faithful, congratulations on cashing in on a major upset. Yes the New England Patriots coming off a 4-13 season went into Paycor and upset the 2022 AFC Championship winner,     Honestly the absence of Mac Jones under center cannot be understated. Jacoby Brissett is not behind the best offensive line in the league. Most would argue that on paper they are one of if not THE worst unit in the league. Brissett under pressure made some clutch throws. Hanging in the pocket and making some big time throws to players such as Austin Hooper who led the team in receiving guards with 31 yards. Along with Tyquan Thornton and KJ Osborne who went for 27 and 21 yards respectively. The offense undoubtedly ha...

             The 40-42 Boston Red Sox had lofty expectations going into the 2025 Major League Baseball season. After key free agency signings of Alex Bregman, Walker Buehler, and Aroldis Chapman, trading for Superstar Left hander Garret Crochet, the return of Garret Whitlock, and Trevor Story, the Boston Red Sox had immense buzz, and optimism leading into the Regular Season. With Juan Soto leaving the division, and Gerrit Cole going down with a Tommy John surgery in early March, the path was paved for not only a Wild Card berth, but even competition for the division. The soap opera that has been the Boston Baseball Red Sox have shown anything but competitiveness for the American League East Division.      The major story of this season rides along the story of 3rd baseman Rafael Devers, and the dramatics of him giving up his position to make room for superstar free agent signing Alex Bregman. Rafael Devers was a brat during this process,...
