    My Ideal Metric - TOTAL bases

    I was really encouraged to see the MassLive article on Houck's performance in his "Maddox" to say this: "Houck has made an effort to not overthrow this season. With all the focus in the game on velocity, that’s been hard at times. But he’s found that the less he exerts himself on the mound, the...

    The Fenway Park Experience

    Thanks for the scouting report, YLT! I love these "What other stadium experiences are like" reports.

    If you were a ballplayer...

    The only skill I see that I had that was translatable to pro baseball was great footwork around the bag as a short first baseman. I'm amazed sometimes at seeing the MLB players' funky steps at 1B. I topped out in Legion ball (age 18) and was not good enough for my CT HS team (Jeff Bagwell played...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    It's only a sample size of 1, but I saw an early season game, Sox at Texas, which the Sox won 2-1. It should have been an exciting game (Papelbon's first save!) But the later innings dragged on for me. I'd rather have a 5-4 game or even a 9-7 game. As an aside, it's amazing I barely remember...

    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    You're probably thinking of the playoff rule. Teams submit a 26-man roster prior to each round of the postseason. A club may request permission from the Commissioner to replace a player who is injured during a series, but that player is then ineligible for the rest of that round and the...

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    I know it's only a game thread, but the rest of us have no interest in a petty argument over parking at Anaheim Stadium (or whatever it's called).

    The Fenway Park Experience

    I still remember that image of emerging from the Fenway grandstand tunnel for the first time and taking in the bright emerald, perfectly manicured grass as a young teen 40+ years ago. It's an image and feeling that never gets old.

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    I, too, want to thank everyone for their reflections of the full pallet of what LL meant to the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, San Diego Padres, and those communities. I wish I could thank him for everything, but I surely appreciate a life well lived.

    Tanner Houck 2024

    I watched the highlights of his 10 strikeouts and I was amazed at the distance between the bat and the ball as it crossed the plate. In some cases it looked like 8 inches, and I'll bet it averaged 4". He's a magician.

    Inside Alex Cora’s Red Sox ‘culture change’ — Chemistry, competition, camaraderie (the 2024 manager thread)

    And if we think of this from our own perspective (if we work for someone else), if top management told us that the company lost significant money 3 of the last 4 years, I think most or all of us, whether management or individual contributor, would be willing to try something new. I don't see it...
