    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    If I recall Jon Lester’s first few years were a struggle getting past 5 innings (back when it was considered a bad thing if you only pitched 5 as a starter)….

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    I don’t think the 9 batter pitcher has any great advantage - the Sox, for example, and probably many if not all the teams now have pitching machines that can replicate what any pitcher throws- the hitters can essentially bat off the guy in the tunnel in practice. Just because the same hitters...

    The Fenway Park Experience

    Not sure if this is actually the ideal thread for this but I’m here at today’s game and a guy wearing a Wakefield jersey is here with his 2 young kids In the row in front of me 3rd base side. He just caught 2 foul balls in 2 consecutive innings. Hard to believe and probably statistically almost...

    2004 WS Celebration

    Not exactly a WS memory but thought I’d share this bizarro moment- opening day 2005 after all the introductions and Rivera tipping his cap, there’s a moment of silence for Dick Radatz who had died that week. The place is completely silent…you can hear a pin drop. I’m sitting in the loge boxes in...

    Offseason rumors

Both of those rank above all others. Gibson was fantastic throughout his career and his numbers in ‘68 amazing but...

    What is the Minimum Level of Success You will be Satisfied with from the 2024 Red Sox?

    Would be happy with 3, tolerate 4 but they’ve essentially lost me as far as time commitment (ironic I know coming from someone who is spending time reading and writing on these threads but…). I’m not likely to watch many games and will give my season ticket account management over to my friend...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Disagree with this- it was obvious both of the past two trade deadlines that the team as constituted had very little chance of contending for a World Series title and both years Bloom was indecisive which cost the team in both the short and long term. He should have sold heavily or added more...

    Moves I'd Make

    What do people think of signing Hader and packaging Kenley or Martin or both for a starter?

    Fitts, Weissert, and Judice. What do the Sox Have Here?

    With the pitching development resources in the organization now it’s obvious Fitts will become the next Koufax, Weissert the next Pedro, Judice the next Sparky Lyle and this will be the trade that makes up for both Ruth and Cater/Lyle
