2018 in Review: Andrew Benintendi
A look back at the year that was for the Red Sox left fielder. Welcome to the Red Sox Review series. It’s a fairly standard feature in which we will review the year that was for every player who made a decently large impact on the Red Sox this year. How do I come up with that definition? Completely arbitrarily, of course! The list of players I’m using can be seen here, and if I am missing anyone please let me know in the comments. Anyway, for the players who are included we will wrap up their season in a sentence, look at the positives of their 2018, the negatives, review their One Big...

Daily Red Sox Links: Andrew Benintendi, David Price, Brock Holt
In today’s links, Andrew Benintendi’s catch lives on forever, David Price is back and Brock Holt is, too. Andrew Benintendi made a catch during the playoffs that will go down as one of the most clutch in baseball history. (Matthew Kory; The Athletic) ($$) David Price is going to keep pitching for the Red Sox. That’s good news for everyone involved. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe) We missed Brock Holt for a little while there, but he came storming back in 2018, capped by some big moments in the playoffs. (Tim Britton; The Athletic) ($$) Now that we are officially in the offseason, its...

High-flying stars: Andrew Benintendi leap draws comparison to Bobby Orr
Within hours, the image went viral: Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi’s midair catch in Game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a maneuver that could become as iconic as Bruins legend Bobby Orr’s celebratory dive after he scored the Stanley Cup winning goal nearly a half-century ago.Benintendi’s was, for many fans, the perfect combination of form and function, legs outstretched in flight, right arm reaching for the ball within inches of the Green Monster.“Look at it,” Charlie Helm, 57, of Washington, D.C., said as he stared at a photo of the catch yesterday in...

The role players have taken over
And they’re on the cusp of leading the Red Sox to a championship During the regular season, fairly or unfairly, the Red Sox always seemed carried by their stars to a disproportionate extent. Granted, there’s no way a team wins 108 games over the grind that is MLB’s regular season based solely on their star power, but the stars were always the biggest focus. On offense it was Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez, with some help from the second-tier guys like Xander Bogaerts and Andrew Benintendi. On the mound, it was the Big Three of Chris Sale, David Price and Craig Kimbrel. Obviously there...

How do these teams top last night’s game? (Hint: They probably can’t.) Well, that Game 3 was fun, historic, tiring... could you do us all a favor, Red Sox and Dodgers? Please play Game 4 in nine innings, and maybe in, oh, around three hours. Not too much to ask, right? Thanks! Lineups!

Open GameThread: World Series Game 3 - Red Sox @ Dodgers
Everyone is in my neck of the woods for Game 3 of the World Series. It’s been really fun reading all the tweets from reporters who are checking out the city today. It’s safe to say the enthusiasm here has petered off over the past couple days, so let’s hope the Dodgers can win this one. Here are the lineups for tonight. Because there is no DH, JD Martinez will have to be in left field, which means Andrew Benintendi sits. After not starting against two lefties, Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy are both in the lineup tonight. Today's Lineups RED SOX DODGERS Mookie Betts - RF Joc...

Red Sox at Dodgers World Series Game 3 lineup: Can Rick Porcello sunset the Dodgers?
Porcello will face Walker Buehler in L.A. tonight... without Andrew Benintendi, at least to start. The Red Sox can move one step closer to a World Series title with a win tonight (8:09 p.m., FOX) in Los Angeles behind Rick Porcello (17-7, 4.28 ERA). About Game 3: Porcello, still in the midst of the “throw the shit out my arm” period of the year, will look to put together one of those starts where he’s unhittable and the game’s over before you know it. That would help, because you know we’ll see for the first time in the series? A full Dodgers lineup! The righty on the mound for...

Benintendi odd man out
Subtitle: Martinez in LF; Betts helps communityLOS ANGELES — Starving for range in the Dodger Stadium outfield, the Red Sox chose Jackie Bradley Jr. over Andrew Benintendi in their starting lineup for Game 3 of the World Series last night.Without the designated hitter, J.D. Martinez got the nod in left field. But because he’s been hobbling around on a sore ankle that he hurt while slipping on second base in Game 1, the Red Sox wanted their two outfielders with the most range to play alongside him.Bradley got the start in center and Mookie Betts once again was in right field while...
