  1. The Gray Eagle

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    Darvish and Glasnow must be the first guys in a long time to start 2 of the first 3 games of a season.

    Thanks. Cool pics, as always.

    Minor League Thread 2024

    Just looking at Sox Prospects to see where guys will start the season: https://soxprospects.com/2024.htm They list Yordanny and Mikey Romero not with any team but under XST Taxi Squad. Does that mean they are injured? That they are healthy but won't be starting the season with an affiliate but...

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

    I would definitely believe even a young @SumnerH was smarter and wiser and better with his money than most ballplayers. :) We've all heard the stories of Manny Ramirez not cashing his paychecks and leaving them lying around for moths, along with other insane tales of him and his money. Not...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Just wanted to add Sarris's takes on each pitcher in our rotation from that article, as they are relevant and interesting. He has praise for each of them, along with questions either stated or implied: His question on Pivetta seems to be whether he can keep up what he started doing in the...

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

    The language barrier is the problem though-- if the bank sends a text to Ohtani's phone in English, he's not going to read it, he's going to have his interpreter tell him what it says. "Oh they are just saying thanks to you for being such a great customer, nothing else." His interpreter might...

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    90 wins (I voted 86-89 in the poll, but they've looked better than I expected in spring training so I am bumping a little.) Tiebreakers: -Team leader in Wins? Bello -Team leader in Losses? Pivetta -Team leader in Saves? Jansen -Team leader in ERA (qualifying)? Bello -Team leader for...

    2024 Red Sox spring training games

    3 1/3 scoreless IP from Honey Fitts against the Rangers is pretty damn good.

    O'Neill is giving me McMurray from Letterkenny vibes in this interview. "The boys have been great!"

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

    Seems like a lot of people are looking at this from the point of view of an American who is fluent in English, but that's not who Ohtani is. The idea that anyone who reads a statement and won't take questions is covering something up? Maybe, but the fact that he doesn't speak English probably...

    2024 Red Sox spring training games

    I agree, he has been really solid this year and is probably our best in the former player announcer role. Seems like the Sox have played a lot of spring games against teams that are projected to be pretty good this year. Going by an estimate of the Vegas odds...

    Jhostynxon Garcia sighting in the MLB game against the Braves! Alas, he whiffed.

    2-out RBI single for Yoshida cuts it to 5-4.

    2024 Red Sox spring training games

    After Abreu walks, strong wind turns a likely Casas 2-run HR into a warning track flyout to Acuna. Ceddanne follows with a bloop single, sending Abreu to third.

    Sean Murphy with another moone shot HR off Crawford. Sean Murphy is enjoying this game much more than I am.

    2024 Red Sox spring training games

    Heh, Casas with a little grounder that gets through for a 2-run single. Looks like a line drive in the scorebook!

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    So I guess Dalbec makes the roster then. Could we please get 2021 Dalbec back, who was at least a useful player?

    2024 Red Sox spring training games

    I really liked the broadcast before they spent last inning gabbing with the miked-up fielder, that always sucks. But before that they weren't talking too much, just talking about the game without the usual off-topic nonsense. I'd rather hear the crowd noise than announcer babble any day. I...

    The Pirates announcer jinxed him by calling him "Anthony Roman."

    I had forgotten that Eddy "the Jet" Alvarez was an Olympic speed skater. His wikipedia page is pretty cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_Alvarez
