    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Given their results the past few seasons as well as the context of all the winter comments etc., its entirely fair to question the front office's approach. Nobody is saying that the sky is falling and it's a new season so anything can happen. Meanwhile it feels like the only people here who...

    That's a surprising one for me at least. I mean he isn't just a spot up player but who knew he had those hops?

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Forget player asthetics - how fortunate are the Cs that their best players appear to have some humility? I mean we don't really know these guys but Tatum, in particular, has shown he doesn't take himself too seriously. I don't know if that matters but it feels like it should.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Thank you. Its amazing how sports owners are able to get fans to support decisions that prioritize shareholder economics over trying to compete. $12.8 million is a lot of money but its a relative pittance for a highly valued MLB franchise in 2024. Why are we so concerned about FSG's ROI...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Perhaps but you don't know this, right? Its your conjecture. Most people, including athletes who may already have generational wealth, take the highest offer. Unlike some here, I have no firm view on Montgomery's value and I am not arguing that this player is worth a premium. However the...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    That isn't in question. It seems we are at an impasse based on how we each understand economics to work. I believe most, but not all, players will play for any franchise if they can meet their asking price. I fully understand that there are exceptions and people make trade-offs all the...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    How do other businesses convince people to move around the globe, including to undesirable destinations, for a job? What resources do other industries have the the Sox don't?

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Apologies - I am not opining on the value of Montgomery's contract (always an interesting exercise here on SoSH where we try to figure out market structure with a few random paragraphs, vague tweets and the wisdom contained in our respective mom's basements). I am simply pointing out that if...

    Its the Heat. That shouldn't even be a common foul.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Aside from your point as well as CR67's, the "well the player didn't want to play here" defense is silly. Maybe Boston isn't a player's first choice but the Sox can make it really difficult for people to turn them down. They can employ a truly time tested strategy and by the sounds of it, the...

    People can discuss whatever they want on these pages. It just feels like nobody wants to be challenged when the topic is a function of small sample sizes. If we are concerned about something that happens 21% of the time how are we contrasting it with the other 79%? More to the point if a...

    I would guess that as well but actual data can surprise. Maybe building and losing a large lead really is indicative of a problem. Make with the info people!!!

    2023-24 Celtics

    I would love to see the winning percentage of teams who build and lose large leads versus those who play tighter games - over a large dataset. I'm very curious what that actually looks like.

    Rusillo and Simmons will have thoughts about this game too. We don't need to hear them here but do you. We have the playoffs coming up and these remaining games are indeed kind of meaningless. Any big takeaways need to be mocked imo. Check the standings scoreboard before you anxiety post.

    Where are all the Xitters from the NBA podcast bros when they are marauding around the league for the better part of the past three months? Mo Dakhil didn't post anything about the Cs during any their 57 wins?

    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    You know how this goes. For each of the C's many, many defeats this season we have to have a serious discussion about what we learned about the weakness of this team. It turns out if you play the end of your schedule on a long road trip while missing key ballhandlers/playmakers/release valves...
