    Tanner Houck 2024

    As a reflection of how this season is going, when I saw this thread get bumped, I figured he was going on the IL.

    2024 Red Sox: Better, Worse, or About the Same?

    I thought they would be about the same with Giolito and I think they'll be the same without him. Even with him healthy I still didn't think there was enough depth of talent on the pitching staff to get this team more than 81 wins. Even if he was lights-out all season, that still leaves 80% of...

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    I listened to part of the game on the radio yesterday. Lou seems to be getting better in the booth. I get that it's radio and you don't want dead air, but there have been times in the past that he seemed like he was out to prove he was the smartest baseball person on air and wouldn't shut-up in...

    Plawecki got a minors deal with Washington. He seemed like a good clubhouse guy when he was here. I have a soft spot for back-up catchers. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/04/nationals-sign-kevin-plawecki-to-minor-league-deal.html

    March 30, Year of our Pedro 2023, OPENING DAY

    It was 16f when I took the dogs out this morning, but it's opening day so it felt a lot warmer. I've missed having game threads for meaningful games. Let's go!

    How do you feel now about this team, as opposed to earlier in the off-season?

    I voted for same. I don't have much hope for a better than .500 season. Offense likely to be about the same as last year. Production from 1B should be better, provided Dalbec doesn't ever play again. Production from SS will be lower. I expect the outfield production to improve. DH will probably...

    Joe Castiglione Cutting Back

    I didn't listen to a lot of games on the radio last year, but the ones I did catch with Flemming on the call were not fun. He just struck me as not a student of the game. Not that a PBP guy needs to be a historian, but it seemed like every time there was a dialogue about something that happened...

    Who Will Be the 2023 Opening Day Starter?

    Hopefully, a healthy Chris Sale. The pessimist in me says they'll re-sign Rich Hill in early February and he'll be the opening day starter.

    Bruce Sutter splits

    I saw him in Cooperstown this summer. He didn't look well. You would have thought he was 89, not 69. I recently learned that Sutter had his own Bonilla-like contract. https://fansided.com/2020/07/01/atlanta-braves-bobby-bonilla-contract-bruce-sutter/

    The Brady (Anderson) Bunch

    I'm not sure if this fits the definition. Matt Clement had a great first half in 2005 going 10-2 and making the AL All-star roster for the only time in 9 seasons. Then he got hit in the head shortly after the all-star break and was never the same again.

    Stars that faded away...

    Stephen Strasburg seems to be on the way to making the list of stars who have faded away. He signed $245m/7 year extension after 2019. He has pitched 31 innings since then. View...
