    Having watched a lot of Antiques Roadshow, $3,750 seems low for that.

    To err is human; three errors is the Red Sox: the defense thread.

    Defensive stats like that are useless when looking at how many games mistakes have cost the team. They're okay for looking at a particular player over a couple years, but same sizes are too small and context is too important for errors to use a context-neutral stat like DRS. I can believe that...

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    Have you been watching baseball in the last 5 years? Those guys are exceptionally rare and they all eventually blow out their elbows. Who is this innings eating ace you're thinking they should get?

    4/18 vs Guardians

    Clase looks a lot like AEW's Swerve Strickland. Swerve probably doesn't throw 100.

    4/18 vs Guardians

    Ump is sick of the rain.

    4/18 vs Guardians

    I heard Casas yell out "down" on the previous pitch. The ump decided he was going to stick it to him on the next pitch.

    4/18 vs Guardians

    When you're not used to getting on base, you don't know how to run the bases.

    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    A pitcher with usage restrictions is only useful if the game situation happens to line up with their availability. It also causes more stress on the other members of the staff who have to cover for him when he's not available. Someone who has to pitch on a schedule is called a starter.

    Dalbec sent down to AAA (recalled to BOS on 4/12)

    I think it's the age of the 13 man pitching staff. There are only 4 bench spots available and you need a backup catcher, backup middle infielder, and fourth outfielder. There just isn't room for someone who can't play anything other than first base if they're not a starter.

    They never allowed him to pitch on back to back days in 2021. He can't be a closer with those restrictions.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    4-3 or 3-1?

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    The part of the country that prefers the term ghost runner for an actual player standing on a base and running for his team is whatever broadcast booth Dave O'Brien is running his mouth in.

    BABIP hates the Red Sox the last couple of days.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Dave O'Brien is such an idiot. It's not a Ghost Runner. That's a runner used to represent someone who got a hit when you're playing with just a few people. The automatic runner is exactly the opposite. It's a real runner out there who made an out. Zombie Runner makes sense since it's someone who...

    Angel Hernandez, files racial discrimination suit against MLB

    I was wondering what the other umpires in the crew thought about him. It has to be embarrassing to defend someone who is so bad at their job, but a sense of shame is not required to be a major league umpire.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    But offenses are not high right now and the product on the field is not good. We're at historical lows in singles, doubles, and triples, and a high in strikeouts. The only thing that's keeping the overall scoring numbers near average for the last 30 years is that homers are way up. If there were...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Ohtani is also a lot younger than most of us fossils. He grew up in an age where there are several layers of abstraction between a person and their money. Banks and merchants have found you'll spend more if you don't have to hand out cash or write checks. With cashless payments automatic...

    SS possibilities going forward

    He looked terrible last year, too. A bunch of games in the minors didn't seem to make a difference. I don't see how he'll become acceptable out there now.
