Sunday Red Sox Delight - 6/9

Written by Ian on .

Joe Blanton (L), Ryan Dempster (R)

After splitting a day/night doubleheader on Saturday, the Boston Red Sox look to take the series this afternoon in the rubber game of a three-game set with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at historic Fenway Park.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Angels television market, you can catch the game on Fox Sports West. If you don't live in either market you're in luck as TBS will have coverage of the game (outside of Red Sox and Angels television markets). And if you can't catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2013 Red Sox Radio Network.

The British Columbia native Ryan Dempster makes his 13th start of 2013. In his previous 12 starts, Dempster is 3-6 with a 4.39 ERA. All three of his career starts against the Halos came in 2012 as a member of the Texas Rangers when he went 0-2 with an 11.20 ERA (17 ER/13.2 IP).

Kentucky native Joe Blanton toes the slab for the 13th time in 2013 as well. In his previous 12 starts, Blanton is 1-9 with a 5.53 ERA. He took the loss against the Red Sox in his only start of 2012 as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies after allowing seven runs (six earned) in 4.1 innings of work. He's made 11 career starts against the local nine and is 3-4 with a 5.21 ERA. Five of those starts have come at the Fens where he is 2-1 with a 6.44 ERA.

Written by Ian on .

The second round of voting totals are out for the 2013 MLB All-Star Game for the American League (apparently I missed the first one) and we see only one member of the Boston Red Sox leading at their position.

2013 MLB All-Star GameAnd that's David Ortiz at the DH position. He leads Lance Berkman of the Texas Rangers by just under 800,000 votes.

The next highest member of the Red Sox in the voting totals is 2B Dustin Pedroia who is second to Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees. Pedey is 745,000 votes behind Cano.

Mike Napoli is third place at first base 1.5 million votes behind leader Chris Davis while Jarrod Saltalamacchia is in fifth place for catchers, 900,000 votes behind Joe Mauer.

Jacoby Ellsbury is 9th in outfield voting totals 1.2 million votes behind leader Adam Jones while Shane Victorino is 14th about 1.5 million votes behind. Ellsbury is only 350,000 votes behind Torii Hunter who holds down third place.

Obviously, our favorites on the Red Sox need our help. So take a few minutes and get your 25 votes in from each email address you have. I've done my part, now it's time to do yours (if you already haven't)!

UConn's Carson Cross Selected By Pirates In 24th Round

Written by Ian on .

STORRS, Conn. - University of Connecticut redshirt sophomore pitcher Carson Cross (Brentwood, N.H.) was selected in the 24th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Saturday by the Pittsburgh Pirates as the 719th overall player taken and the 13th of the round.

UConn Huskies BaseballCross was a Second Team All-BIG EAST pick in 2012 and had a 9-4 record with a 2.44 ERA. He recorded 86 strikeouts this season in 110.2 innings of work and has walked just 24.

Cross, who has the option of returning to the UConn team for 2014 , pitched nine-plus innings and gave us just two runs in the Huskies’ 3-2 12-inning win over Louisville that started UConn’s run to the BIG EAST tournament title.

He then picked up the win in UConn’s NCAA victory over Virginia Tech by pitching 6.1 innings and giving up just a run.

Cross picked up BIG EAST wins this season over Rutgers and Georgetown and has a complete game effort in a loss to St. John's.

Cross is the second current Husky to be picked in the draft as senior second baseman LJ Mazzilli (Greenwich, Conn.) was picked by the New York Mets in the fourth round on Friday.
