By Mark Paulette, When I handed out report cards for the Boston Red Sox after one month of play, I was accused by my fellow ‘Drivers’ as being overly generous and soft on the struggling Sox. Now, with 82 games in the books, I can assure you that any patience with this team has long […]
By Mark Paulette, I will maintain, and argue with anyone who thinks otherwise, that last year’s Red Sox team was not likable. They were uber successful. They far exceeded expectations. But they were not likable. The team was machine-like. Play ball, win game, repeat. It was clockwork, and it was done at a clip few […]
Rick Porcello went 11-0 last season when the Red Sox supplied him with three runs or more of support. He’s now 1-0 in that category in 2018.

I present to you, part one: ‘The Starting Nine.’ Dustin Pedroia, 2B (2016 stats […]
Offense- 1st quarter grade A+, 2nd quarter grade A-, 3rd quarter grade B+, 4th quarter grade A- The best subject for the 2016 Red Sox has been offense. We’ve seen dips and dives during the season, but when they were good in April/May, they were really freaking good. When they dipped in June, it […]
People love a winner. Put a winning team on the field and like a baseball diamond in an Iowa corn field, “People will come Ray, people will most definitely come.” Winning in major sports trumps almost everything, including at times the illegal activities of its star players. In the case of the Portland Sea Dogs, […]
Offense- 1st quarter grade A+, 2nd quarter grade A-, 3rd quarter grade B+ This area of the team is trending downward, but at a very slow rate. In a season that has been so up and down, the offense has never stayed down for long. That being said, there are a few individuals in the […]
