But the veteran has given them something far different than that. Right now, he’s in a stretch where he’s been little short of dominant. That continued on Friday, when Lackey overpowered the Indians through [...]

Boston Red Sox 19 hours agoBoston Red Sox Blog | ESPN Boston BOSTON -- After answering a handful of questions about his own performance Friday night following an 8-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox right-hander John Lackey made a point to compliment first baseman Mike Napoli for his solid defensive play. "I was coming in on a lot of left-handers," Lackey said. "He had a lot of action, made some great plays for me. Good team effort." Indeed, while Napoli deserves loads of credit for his stellar play with the glove, the entire infield was on its game.

Boston Red Sox 21 hours agoBoston Herald From the first day of spring training, we’ve been desperate to proclaim that John Lackey looks like the guy who pitched for the Angels. Throw a good bullpen? Oh, man, that’s exactly what he used to do with the Angels. Toss a scoreless inning in Jupiter or Dunedin? He did that all the time with the Angels, yo. Fire 95 mph fastballs? You guessed it — Angels.It’s one thing to say all that. It’s another to know it. And that’s where Nick Swisher and Jason Giambi come in.

Boston Red Sox 22 hours agoBoston Red Sox Blog | ESPN Boston BOSTON -- John Lackey's first two years with the Red Sox offered a study in body language. Often noted as a pitcher who is not shy about exhibiting his frustrations on the mound, Lackey had many such moments. The John Lackey of 2013 presents the observer with a different test subject. Not only has he taken to manager John Farrell's recommendation that pitchers throw with greater pace, but there is a sense of purpose with Lackey's game, almost as if he's intent on making up for lost time.
Boston Red Sox 22 hours agoBoston Red Sox Blog | ESPN Boston BOSTON -- The win-loss record isn't as pretty as Clay Buchholz's and Jon Lester's, and John Lackey has made three fewer starts than the twin Red Sox aces. But if he keeps up his current run, which included seven dominant frames in an 8-1 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday, Lackey may provide a bit more company atop the rotation. While Lackey lowered his ERA to 2.72, Mike Carp ripped a three-run blast and Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia both had two-run singles to power the offense as the Sox picked up a timely win.
Boston Red Sox 23 hours agoRed Sox Blog | Providence Journal By Tim BrittonBOSTON -- One big swing from Mike Carp was all John Lackey would need. Lackey continued his strong start to the season with his best outing to date, tossing seven two-hit innings in Boston's 8-1 victory over the Indians Friday night. The dual performances of Lackey and Carp came at an opportune time. The Red Sox on Friday had placed Shane Victorino and Will Middlebrooks on the disabled list. Ryan Dempster had lasted just three innings the night before. Questions regarding the team's depth -- on the bench and in the rotation -- were at the forefront. Lackey helped calm the co...
