    Actually, she started coming to all the games because he could pitch on any day. That was a nice bonus...

    The Ringer

    It was a good read, but was any of that really a surprise to you? How many threads here complaining about Red Sox VWR and tickets on StubHub before they are released? You are shocked that artist/sports teams are "scalping" their own tickets on the secondary market? I guess that it was...

    2016 Fenway Park Changes (other than the new netting)

    Also, there's a Del's Lemonade stand out by the Big Concourse now. If you're from Rhode Island you know this is huge.

    2016 Fenway Park Changes (other than the new netting)

    Both were there last year. They shut these concession stands down last year, or they would only open them after the game had started. I think it was a new fire code thing because of the bottle-neck walk way right there, lines of people at those stands would block egress etc...there are only 4-5...

    The new net behind the plate

    They moved the one by the Sox dugout. It is now right where the manager usually sits. At the bottom of the picture you can see that they "filled in" the old gate and it will now be wall. The other gates are still there, but the net comes down to the wall. Imagine CHB having to do the limbo...

    The new net behind the plate

    In all MLB parks, for a full season. It would be interesting for someone to figure out the true impact over the course of a full season. I would guess that the number is small. But still, it is something.

    The new net behind the plate

    Innings will get extended...no more catchers taking foul pop ups out of the second row. I suppose that kind of thing evens out for both teams...kids can't get souvenir balls from the bat boy...Ortiz can't spontaneously hug that soldier after a home run... I think all MLB parks have this net now...

    The new net behind the plate

    Hope the video embeds... My first gut reaction was sadness. The Fenway experience has been fundamentally changed. The net is about 14 feet high and goes from dugout to dugout. We knew it was coming, but it's a shock to the system. I suppose that we will get used to it. We got used to the Coke...

    Red Sox to expand netting behind home plate

    Havent posted in a while but thought i'd chime in on this...as a vendor, I've been hit 4 times by batted balls at Fenway, twice during the game, twice during BP. Once during a game I was near section 20, under the roof (technically also behind the net) and a foul ball nicked a seat, changed...

    Ortiz. toast?

    Somebody asked upthread about how he looks in BP...a few years ago when he had that horrific start, his BP was horrific as well.  I shot some video of one of his BPs and he could hardly get the ball to the warning track.  It was really noticeable how bad his BPs were.   This year his BPs have...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    For a billionth of a second I thought he was going to announce he was selling the team.

    Is this the current CBA?  It says 2006-2012

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    To me, this is the Occam's Razor explanation that seems as obvious and logical as the sun rising in the east.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Holy shitballs.  I'm reading this at 2 and have several pages of this thread left so i'm going to assume that someone has set you straight.  "Your take" was that the balls were more than likely deflated?  Balls were ABSOLUTELY deflated.  Because Brady likes them at 12.5.  He instructed his guys...
