    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Oh.

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I’d totally forgotten Jon Miller had a Boston era! He actually challenges McDonough as top dog. Awesome catch!

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I think this post is lock-the-thread good. I don’t think there can be any question that McDonough is the best play by play guy to ever call a game in Boston, and, oh mercy, does Ned Martin belong on here. But overall this list nails it. That no one else even mentioned Cornbread Maxwell is really...

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    After reading their Wikipedia entries, I suspect that you might be right. Wyc seems as though he's focusing less on businesses these days outside the Celtics (though he has partnered on a tequila with Michael Jordan!) than Pagliuca is.

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    Is Pagliuca richer than Wyc? I’d never stopped to consider that.

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    Horford plays with evident joy, appears to be beloved by his teammates and coaches, and is an important part of this team’s core. He also chose to sign the specific extension, including the number of years, that he did. I suppose anything is possible but I would be shocked if Al is not with this...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    This is a fair observation. You are correct.

    What to do with Yoshida?

    It is worth monitoring, I agree. But this thread started with people declaring that he needs to be subsidized and dumped to a small market team and that he cannot/will not earn his contract. The potential reasons for his second-half nosedive have been well documented here (as you acknowledge)...

    Really good point.

    Let's Talk About Bello

    This is why we have advanced beyond these kinds of simplistic metrics when analyzing the quality of a pitcher, or an outing. And anyway, as CN has pointed out a couple of times, your characterization of the double play isn’t supported by the highlight he posted. It was a routine play, the result...

    Let's Talk About Bello

    So you’re saying that if the Sox don’t turn a double play in the first, it would have been a “pretty bad” start by Bello? But because they did turn the double play it was a good start? That’s pretty crazy. He pitched very well in a big spot.

    Let's Talk About Bello

    I mean, he threw 84 pitches in five innings. He could obviously have gone deeper in the game if that’s what they’d wanted. This kid just made an opening day start on the road, matched up against an ace, throwing against a genuine contender. Very pleased with his performance.

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

    Blake Snell to the Giants

    First, this is a very fair argument you are making. But I wasn't suggesting that the specific terms of 2/$62 million with an opt out was in the ballpark of the plan all along. I could have been clearer about that, however. I certainly do agree that Boras assumed he'd be able to get more from a...

    Blake Snell to the Giants

    Your arguments from a strictly financial perspective are persuasive. But as others have pointed out, there’s another way to look at it. He’s 31, already incredibly wealthy, has just guaranteed himself another $62 million in salary over the next two years, and has left himself the opportunity to...

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Sorry if I missed it in the thread, but did the league ever release its officiating report for the game?

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    The game was not being called the same way for both teams. The Celtics had four fouls called on them with something like four or five minutes left in the fourth quarter to the Cavs zero. I can’t recall if the Cavs actually got into the bonus by the time the officials called the first foul...

    2023-24 Celtics

    It is possible both that Forsberg is a very nice human being and that his attempt to frame the collapse against Cleveland as some kind of teachable moment is ridiculous and reflective of an overall media tendency to dig for drama and “all is not quite as well under the hood as it seems!”...

    3/5 @ Cleveland

    He’s Ralph or Potsy or whichever stiff on the Happy Days basketball team it was that hit that lucky shot to win the game…only to humiliatingly return to his stiffy ways in the next game. Speaking of humiliation, wow did that game suck. But I think a lot of us here have it exactly backward. What...
