    Flush It and Get Over It!

    *some* reps. I am pretty sure I have seen other reporting saying Grissom will be staying mainly at 2B though don't have it handy at the moment

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

    good question. I am not sure. I remember hearing that Casas would tell umpires that he yells out "ball" not to show up the ump but just as a tool he uses. He's obviously an unusual guy--not that this is a bad thing, but I could see umpires might not like it, even when he provides his...

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

    agreed, but I'd also note that at least 2 of the Sox Ks were on terrible calls against Casas and Dalbec. The Casas call was especially tough as it was in a big situation with one out and runners at 2nd and 3rd. Great job for Sox to win in spite of that. Hopefully Casas stops getting hosed on...

    3/29/24 - Red Sox at Mariners

    That Pilots hat is great--looks like something the caddy could have worn on board the rich guy's boat in Caddyshack. Did Jim Bouton pitch in that game? I loved Ball Four.

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

    great to see 3 SB in the 1st game (and Duran sure looked like he could have stolen home as well). Watching Rafaela turn what looked like a clear double into a triple was an eye opener. Martin looked like Martin. Very nice to see O'Neill contribute right away.(and, as others have noted, the...

    Red Sox acquire right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from TB for cash considerations

    Seems worth taking the chance that this from the scouting report could possibly happen: "[MLB] teams will buy in on his control and hopefully better command to soak up innings...Uwasawa projects as a swingman in MLB with enough durability and control to be given a shot at the back end of a...

    Fangraphs Positional Power Rankings by Team (Red Sox Ranks and Overall Discussion)

    It did seem fair, and contained reason for optimism--but also little margin for error. A strong "He's the ace" vibe that could be addressed, perhaps, by adding Montgomery (though maybe he'd simply be another guy to wear the old t-shirt) last line in the Fangraphs writeup for the Red Sox: "This...

    what a great story, so glad to know this about Stanley's son. also glad that Weissert will be part of the MLB bullpen. Very interested to see what he can do after what he's shown this spring.

    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    somebody probably needs to restrain Pritchard for the next 15 minutes or so as I am sure he is raring to go. edit--wait, somehow Pritchard is not starting! Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA No PG lineup for Boston tonight: Kristaps Porzingis Al Horford Sam Hauser Jaylen Brown Jayson Tatum...

    3/12 Cs @ Jazz - take it easy on Danny?

    I hope Tillman can play tonight. a guess for starters: White, Holiday, Hauser, Tatum, Kornet (?). Bench minutes I guess go mainly to Pritchard, Brissett, Tillman, Queta (maybe Svi plays some if he can)
