Boston Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz doesn't know if he will start the season in the big leagues or not. However, he may a strong case to stay with a dominating performance against the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday. Buchholz needed only 31 pitches, 24 of which were strikes, according to the Boston ...

The Graduate: Justin Masterson | Born: March 1985 | Right-Handed Pitcher He’s not flashy - but Justin Masterson has the potential to be a beast coming out of the bullpen. The right-hander’s fastball averages out at 89.5 mph but it has incredible sink on it, which causes batters to consis...

Final Score: Boston Red Sox 3, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 11 Don't look now, but I think Buchholz, Aardsma, and Lopez were a little less than effective last night. Actually, that's not fair: Aardsma hadn't pitched in seven days and he came into the game with men on first and second looking for th...

Kevin Youkilis tore the cover off the baseball and played exceptional defense, while his infield partners Dustin Pedroia and Mike Lowell continued at their All-Star caliber pace. Manny Ramirez wen...

Final Score: Boston Red Sox 3, Baltimore Orioles 7 Welcome back Clay Buchholz… why the hell are you here? He was ugly in the first, he looked lost in the fourth, and was relieved by a disaster filled bullpen in the 6th. It wasn’t the kid’s night, which makes me wonder if putting him back in th...

When Clay Buchholz was optioned to Pawtucket, it was with explicit instructions to work on (i.e. throw) his fastball. So far consider it mission accomplished. Buchholz not only has been using his fastball more - which obviously makes his breaking pitches more effective — but he’s also be...

A 15-minute rain delay after the fourth inning was the only thing that dampened Clay Buchholz’s parade Friday night at McCoy Stadium. Buchholz resembled the pitcher whose future appears to be in Boston’s rotation as the Pawtucket Red Sox beat the Columbus Clippers, 5-2. In five innings, Buchholz...

Today's links... Jorge Posada could rejoin the Yankees as early as Wednesday (a few reports suggested Tuesday). Kat O'Brien of Newsday says the Yanks will hold on to both Jose Molina and Chad Moeller for "a while" after Posada returns, but as Peter Abraham points out on the LoHud Yankees b...
