can you believe we get to watch baseball?

Last month, I wrote on @OverTheMonster about how uniquely terrible the Red Sox have been in adverse weather in recent years, and while today's game wouldn't quite technically qualify for the temperature conditions I laid out, it's once again relevant. overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

Think the Red Sox season is over? @MattGross87 not only disagrees, but has four reasons why they're going to make the playoffs. overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

This at-bat was more or less what I tried to explain here. Early’s two-strike execution against righties hasn’t been there this season. It hasn’t hurt him too much yet, but it did here as he walked Marte and then allowed a home run.

Here’s a pair of conflicting thoughts I believe to my core: - The Red Sox have completely sucked to this point in 2026. - The 2026 Red Sox are still going to make the playoffs. My latest @OverTheMonster 👇 overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

Connelly Early has pitched well for the Red Sox, but will it last? @Jake3Roy looks beyond the surface numbers. overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

Tampa Bay Red Sox. Boston Rays. I’d like for them to actually spend money on guys who impact the baseball, but this cheap option might actually end up working out with all these fringe players.

It's not sexy, but with Nick Sogard, Mickey Gasper, and Andruw Monasterio in the lineup, the Red Sox putting the ball in play more, writes @KeaganStiefel overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

And now: the most delightful recap of the Sox win you will read tonight. overthemonster.com/red-sox-game-i…

It’s getting real nasty for the Red Sox, folks My latest with @OverTheMonster 😎

It's Monday Morning Brushback time, and @FitzyMoPena is running out of ways say the Red Sox suck. overthemonster.com/red-sox-coment…

"The Red Sox’s performance today was similar to my dog’s now that the weather is in the 80s. They were around, but they mostly did nothing, and the stuff that they did was a complete mess." -@Jake3Roy overthemonster.com/red-sox-game-i…

"What's a better baseball archetype than the rookie pitching phenom? Payton Tolle can put together a sseason that lives in the imagination of Red Sox fans for decades." overthemonster.com/red-sox-game-i…

"Truly bad teams announce themselves early. You stop expecting much, adjust, and start looking at next year. This team keeps refusing to do that, flashing enough competence to make the offensive failures feel personal." -@JakeReiser overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

"Last night sounded like a Phillies home game. Opposing fans have been increasing their presence at Fenway in recent years, but it’s not even vacation season yet and it’s getting ugly." @BobOsgood15 asks: do you even want to go to Fenway this summer? overthemonster.com/red-sox-discus…

Me, reading the headline: “I love Mike trout but come on, this is crazy, makes no sense from neither a financial or baseball standpoint” Me, actually reading the column: “This is a no brainer that should happen by tomorrow at the latest” I love it

"Opening the first inning with Roman Anthony and Mike Trout every game would be the biggest asses-in-seats move this franchise has made this decade." -@MattGross87 on why it might actually make sense for the Red Sox to trade for Mike Trout. overthemonster.com/red-sox-coment…

I’ll be taking full credit for that TS10 HR.

"Jake Bennett has the ceiling of an excellent pitcher. He’ll need to add some velocity and potentially a breaking pitch to reach that ceiling, but the bones of a major league rotation piece are there." -@Jake3Roy overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…

"The Red Sox pitching and defense is legit. If they’re turning a Brayan Bello bulk game against a hot team led by Zack Wheeler into a 2-1 affair when the lineup is missing key pieces, that’s not the worst result in the world." @MattGross87 overthemonster.com/red-sox-game-i…

It’s time for the Red Sox to show that they actually care about winning no matter what it costs, writes @KeaganStiefel, which means it's time to move on from Trevor Story. overthemonster.com/red-sox-analys…
