    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    You’re right. I just saw it hop over Swayman’s stick. Just before… did Coyle’s shot hit Geekie to keep it out of the net?

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Bad play by Gryz but Swayman needs to control that

    2024 - Path to 90 Wins

    Obviously the path to 90 wins is everyone gets hurt during the beginning of the season versus the end. 17-13 end of April. Almost 92 win pace with lots of injuries and not much hitting for most of the month. Fun team to root for and quality players coming back from injury in the near...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    So Yoshida is better than Schwarber. Nice!

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    I guess it could be worse. Schwarber is -0.2 and has only played DH. Did a quick compare of Yoshida and Schwarber 23 to current. Schwarber has been terrible!

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Looking at b-ref and Yoshida has a dWAR of -0.2 in 1 inning of play. How is that possible? Is the threat of a ball being hit near him that great?

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    Wondering who watched the game. Dalbec was absolutely screwed in two at bats. Both at bats had 2 called strikes on balls outside the zone. He also hit a hard line drive at the 3B for an out and drew a walk. Defense was acceptable.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    Maybe Hickey is looked at as a DH by the front office? As stated up thread, there are other players that cover 1B in the minors that need their own reps. But I guess the Soxprospect guys know more about the farm that the front office. I can’t wait for the Casas is injury prone crowd to hit...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    And what would they spend money on for a temp 1B? Belt hasn’t gone through spring training and will take time to build up and that’s assuming anything is left in the tank. I’m all for Niko Kavadas.

    Jack Edwards to retire

    I had the good fortune to bump in to Jack at the hotel bar after a Bruins road game against the Islanders. It was a good Bruins win and Jack was enjoying himself. For about an hour he was absolutely one of us - a fan of the Bruins. He was destroying Zach Senyshyn game, soft and stupid. I...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    I was a decent athlete and ball player as a kid growing up on the south shore. We move to Gainesville, Florida during my freshman year of high school. I played Babe Ruth and couldn’t believe how much bigger the players were in Florida. I pitched in a game against a son of Roger Maris. My...

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I know Jack Edwards has lost a lot on his fastball but he’s an all time great in my book. I regularly go to the Dafoomie YouTube channel to watch and listen to the 2011 Cup run. Absolutely passionate about the Bruins. Bonus if you’ve ever bumped in to Jack post game at the hotel bar...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I’m not making a case for Refsnyder but his last few years versus LHP have been very good.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    The bolded just isn’t true. Dalbec has had success against LHP in his career. It’s unfortunate the Sox cannot utilize him properly.

    2004 WS Celebration

    You just love to stir some shit. I clearly stated it wasn’t a comparison. I said I can separate the ball player from the man. Regarding the book… it was well done. I expected more great American hero. I left thinking Williams was a raging asshole, an abusive figure to almost everyone...

    2004 WS Celebration

    The comparison wasn’t to compare Schillimg to Williams. It was how I can separate person from ball player. I say that because the last book I read on Ted Williams really painted a terrible picture. Montville authored. From a high pedestal for Ted down towards the bottom for me. Kind of...

    2004 WS Celebration

    I can easily separate Schilling the ball player from Schilling the man. Not much different than the way I celebrate Ted Williams the player.
