Now, it's time to look at some quotes and dive into what they meant. On Friday, Craig Breslow sat down with Sean McAdam and Chris Cotillo from Masslive.com on their Fenway Rundown podcast and answered several questions over the 20-minu...2303Sun, 09 Feb 2025 14:02:47 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-road-trip-no-8-independence-day-in-dc-r2292/There is no better place to celebrate the birth of the U.S.A. than at a ballpark in the nation's capital. When the Red Sox travel to play the Nationals on July 4th, will they have what it takes to upset the hometown heroes on their own birthday? Washington Nationals - July 4-6 Nationals Pa...2292Sat, 08 Feb 2025 15:17:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/how-do-the-red-sox-stack-up-against-their-al-east-competition-in-2025-r2294/The American League East is shaping up to be one of the most competitive divisions in baseball yet again. With significant roster moves and massive departures, all five teams face unique challenges heading into the new season. Here's a breakdown of the Red Sox's competition for a division title....2294Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:52:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-road-trip-no-7-endurance-tripping-r2291/From June 16-25, the Red Sox head west to the tune of 7,233 miles and nine very winnable games.

And was Duran really player over his head in 2024? Let’s start off with a graph, shall we? This is straight from Jarren Duran’s player page on FanGraphs. The point I‘m trying to make by leading off with it is that Duran's stardom came out of no...2293Wed, 05 Feb 2025 11:58:00 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-road-trip-no-6-evil-empire-state-of-mind-r2290/Few words conjure ill will and upset stomachs in Boston like "Yankee Stadium." The Red Sox make their first foray into the enemy lair June 6-8, and this one-town road trip couldn't be more important.  New York Yankees - June 6-8 Yankee Stadium - Capacity 46,537 2024 Attendance: 3,309,838...2290Tue, 04 Feb 2025 15:03:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/will-the-red-sox-throw-the-fewest-fastballs-again-in-2025-r2289/In 2024, the Red Sox ran the lowest fastball rate in recorded history. In 2025, they might not even run the lowest rate in the American League. During the 2024 season, the Red Sox didn’t just throw the fewest fastballs in the league; they came in last by a lot. Four-seamers and sinkers made...2289Tue, 04 Feb 2025 11:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/making-the-hall-of-fame-case-for-luis-tiant-r2288/Tiant's impressive resume and big-game heroics should make him an easy but sadly overdue decision for the Veterans Committee. Last week, I took a look at Dwight Evans’ Hall of Fame case and made the argument for his well-deserved election into Cooperstown. Yet Evans is hardly the only Red So...2288Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:34:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/seven-random-predictions-for-the-2025-red-sox-season-r2286/With spring training just around the corner, let's imagine the ways the 2025 season could go right, wrong, and rowdy. A lot can happen over the course of 162 games. Good moments, bad moments, some weird and unusual, and some never before seen feats, all over the course of 162.

Should this be the plan as spring training draws near? I already know what the first few comments will say, and yes, I did leave Rob Refsnyder off my firs...2284Sun, 02 Feb 2025 14:33:00 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/will-the-red-sox-let-wilyer-abreu-face-left-handed-pitching-r2283/The Red Sox have yet to add a right-handed outfielder to replace Tyler O'Neill. Either they're expecting Rob Refsnyder to step up, or Wilyer Abreu won't have a platoon partner. Alex Cora spent pretty much the entire 2024 season protecting Wilyer Abreu from left-handed pitchers. The rookie st...2283Fri, 31 Jan 2025 11:52:34 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/steamers-new-splits-projections-for-the-red-sox-arent-pretty-r2282/Everyone knows the Boston lineup is heavy on left-handed hitters, but the computers are spitting out some scary numbers. Here at Talk Sox, we have been writing for months about how the Red Sox need to balance their lineup with a right-handed hitter. We were writing about it before Tyler O’Ne...2282Thu, 30 Jan 2025 11:58:01 +0000
