    YouTube announces Sunday Ticket Pricing

    I signed up for Game Pass in Germany several years ago and have been watching all games through a VPN since moving back. Recently Got the following email: Du erhältst diese E-Mail, weil dein bestehendes NFL Game Pass Abonnement am 31. Juli ausläuft und sich nicht automatisch verlängern wird...

    5/29 - The Last Of Us

    Winning 4 elimination games in a row has never been done in the NBA. The team was just drained by it Sucks to admit you’re human. I have no problem with the Celtics. They didn’t “choke” or “come up small”. They played until there was nothing left.

    What does 2023 look like?

    Question about projections: Do they take rule changes into consideration? Seems to me that (please correct me) A. Speed is going to play bigger (combined with OBP, of course) with the new pickoff rule and base sizes. B. LHH will improve without a short right fielder C. Strikeouts will...

    Red Sox in season discussion

    Yes. We’re owed some backup to that claim.

    Mazz on NESN

    I went a step further and chose the other team's feed on Extra Innings - just to keep from throwing a brick at the TV. This worked out pretty well against Baltimore where there were these well spaced and glorious moments of silence during nearly every at bat. Plus...a broadcast team that seemed...

    Trevor Story - Second Base or Short Stop???

    That was a tough throw as he was headed towards left field and couldn’t get planted. Still, the point remains the Red Sox have an all star SS and excellent 2B in their grasp, not to ignore a premier 3B and high potential at 1B, so why fuck with things? To save the team some money?

    Enrique Hernandez extended for 2023, 10M

    Help me out. Who’s the backup 3B with Dalbec in Worcester?

    Celtics vs. Warriors, NBA Finals

    I think it’s been said already, but the Celtics can’t go into this game and play based off the officiating in game 2. It’s likely the league will adjust and call a tighter game. The Warriors will probably anticipate this and change things up a bit, counting on a Celtic reaction to the game 2...

    5 vs 8: Where we discuss the quality (or lack thereof) of NBA Playoff Officiating

    My favorite part of the game was when Lowry tried to fake into a foul, the Celtic player backed off, Lowry fell down and called the next to last time out to avoid a jump ball.

    Celtics vs. Heat, Round 3 Discussion

    What about Lowry's timeout call at 8:56 (to avoid a jump ball)? That left the Heat with a single TO the remainder of the game. They took it after the Smart's free throws. Lowry hasn't gottten enough heat for that.

    Vote how bad a decision did Butler make by shooting?

    Imagine if Butler had made that shot, the Celtics clank the last attempt, and things work out that the only lead the Heat had the entire game was on their final shot attempt. I would be recovering from stroke this morning. I hated that he took that shot because I was certain it was going in. In...

    Red Sox ‘22 offense: offensively offensive

    So they say Pitchers are typically ahead of hitters coming out of Spring. The strike made that even worse, I’m guessing. Hitters may have lost around 100 AB’s (as did HP Umpires). Normal amount of at bats during Spring Training (from what I can tell) is about 155. The Red Sox starters had...

    2021-2022 Yankees Offseason Discussion

    If there was ever a good argument for electronic balls/strikes it’s the framing stats. It makes zero sense that the same pitch can be called either way depending how the catcher receives it. I know it’s an art, but it still seems unfair.

    Can rules changes save baseball?

    The two-way player makes perfect sense now that there's a universal DH. Once the AL instituted that rule, a decision was made to allow offensive players 1-9 in the lineup...and once that became codified, baseball should have allowed anyone to pitch/hit in the former pitcher's spot. Now that it's...

    Trevor Story has signed with the Boston Red Sox

    I'm boggled how that site can evaluate how well Bogaerts would play 2B - since he's never played 2B. Sometimes metrics piss me off.

    MLB and MLBPA have a deal

    Logically, the team most impacted is the Blue Jays. Good for them if they limit that impact by having fewer un-vaxxed than the competition.

    Will the Sox sign a shortstop this offeason?

    Obviously he doesn't. He impacts the timing and accuracy of throws. (Outside of any improvement in straight defense on balls hit to 1B, which I wasn't considering)

    Will the Sox sign a shortstop this offeason?

    A great defensive 1B makes everyone in the infield better. How does that factor into defensive statistics?

    Red Sox in season discussion

    Lot of folks talking about DH strategies. Big question for me is whether or not Devers is the long term solution at 3B. I suppose it's too soon to talk about shelving such a young guy and DH'ng him, but the Red Sox infield has a lot of question marks right now (pending Casas and Mayers)...
