    The Fenway Park Experience

    I LOVE this idea and would contribute all I know. In a few years my plan is to retire and visit every MLB ballpark where I’ve never seen a game.

    If you go again park in the Hilton garage and exit Harbor Drive. You're welcome. :-)

    Day Baseball Today, 2024 Edition

    No way. I'll be at Sunday's game. Maybe we should hook up. ;) Happy for you east coasters to get these out of the way. Also happy for us west coasters...I like games starting at 4 or 4:30.

    Grading the Umps - March/April

    That's how I saw it as well. He seemed to miss a number of pitches (I remember 3) low and on the corner for Pivetta. When he missed that one he told Pivetta "My Bad"....I really like that. No ones perfect.

    2004 WS Celebration

    First off, I purchased this book and would encourage everyone to take advantage of this offer. It's a good read. I am 100% on board with celebrating the 2004 team all year long. I know others might be tired of it but I could listen/watch/read about that team everyday for the rest of my life...

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    I've been quietly optimistic about him all offseason. It might not be predicative but his first year vs second year in AAA showed he knows how to make offseason batting adjustments and if working with Tek helps improve his weak defensive areas...well like most of the team if "ifs" come to...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    It simplified his delivery which allowed him to get his arm into a better position to throw more efficiently and it also had the effect on him of improving his control. It was done as a response to him having a detached elbow growth plate when he was 12. He's thrown exclusively from the stretch...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    This is a great thread. All I have to add right now is that my sons PC said the same. Some Old timers may remember him. Juan Eichelberger

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    IIRC Story got the bracing procedure done last year and was able to come back in season. SS throw a lot but obviously not as much as pitchers so while I assume the recovery for Lucas will be longer than Trevor's, I am encouraged that he might be ready to go for the entire 2025 season. Thinking...

    Stacy Wakefield has passed away from cancer

    Son of a B. Man, that really really sucks. I feel so bad for those kids. Thank God the Wakefield's were such quality people and likely set their kids up to be the same because this is gonna be tough to overcome.

    Glass Half Full nuggets for 2024 Sox

    This is what I’m most excited about seeing again. Casas’ ABs were must see TV the last half of the year. I’m also excited to see what kind of improvement Wink might have made over the offseason again.

    Offseason rumors

    Musgrove.....His family owns a bakery near where I live. He comes to my sons HS games occasionally because his nephew plays for the team. Let's just say I don't believe he's going anywhere.

    Let's Talk About MLBTV

    I'll add for anyone in San Diego that if you get even one Padres season ticket they include MLB.tv in the package. 2 years ago I got one in TT section for 20 games at like $650.....saved me $150 on MLB.tv so it was well worth it.

    Rest in Peace, DaveRoberts'Shoes

    There's nothing I can say to ease the pain of his family but I'm glad they know the impact he had on many of us here including myself. See my sig that I've had since like 2010. RIP DRS.

    The lineup shuffling drove me crazy at times but boy could he manage a pitching staff. RIP Jimy.
