Dan Roche says Alex Cora and his staff need to do a better job at getting the urgency back into the Red Sox.
The Red Sox spent much of their spring talking about repeating as World Series champs. Perhaps they should have focused more on April than October.
Center fielder Ramon Laureano threw out another Red Sox runner in a key spot, and the Oakland Athletics kept Boston stumbling with a 7-3 win on Thursday.
The Red Sox have a World Series banner to unveil at their home opener on Tuesday, but that isn't the only championship they'll be celebrating at Fenway Park.
The World Series MVP is back.
Veteran MLB umpire Ron Kulpa is a fellow who had himself a temper tantrum on Wednesday evening in Arlington, Texas. And he ought to be forced to pay for it.
Sometimes when a team is scuffling, all they need is a friendly bounce to get things going in the right direction. The Red Sox potentially got that bounce Wednesday night in Oakland.
Mookie Betts helped the Red Sox snap a four-game losing streak with a big hit in the ninth inning.
Xander Bogaerts has learned his lesson: There will be no more testing of Ramon Laureano's arm.
The Red Sox finally got a quality start from one of their starting pitchers. But Chris Sale's six innings of one-run ball wasn't enough to get the team back in the win column.
The World Series champion Red Sox dropped their fourth straight and fell to 1-5.

The Athletics scored their first five runs on homers to beat the struggling Boston Red Sox 7-0 on Monday night.
It's official: Xander Bogaerts will call Boston his home for at least the next seven years.
Before he can return to the big leagues, Dustin Pedroia will start in the minors. Way down in the minors.
