    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    FWIW, Cotillo had like half a dozen quotes from (probably) agents this off-season that said the Sox were acting like a small market team. He didn't have a single quote from anyone saying the Sox were making good offers but the players just weren't interested in playing in Boston.

    Jordan Montgomery signs with Arizona

    This deal is an absolute joke and should have been beaten by the Sox. I haven't watched an inning of spring training so far and I honestly have no desire to now. The Sox decided the team wasn't worth investing in, so I suppose I will too.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    I'm way too salty about this off-season to have any optimism, so I'm going with 68 wins. I think they're going to get off to a slow start and the wheels will fall off rather quickly. -Team leader in Wins? Crawford -Team leader in Losses? Bello -Team leader in Saves? Jansen -Team leader in ERA...

    Yeah that was incredibly tough to look at, but didn't seem dirty on replay

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    We needed 2, and then we traded Sale. So 3.

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    So we went into the off-season needing two starting pitchers, and we came out needing three. Man, this year is going to be brutal.

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    I mean, it's the first step of what we want. But the Sox began extension talks with Lester and Bogaerts at one point (that we later learned were seriously lowball offers). So I won't be giving the Sox credit for starting talks, yet.

    Offseason rumors

    Becket had 10/5 rights at the time of the Punto trade, so it's not impossible, but you're right that the more of them are involved the more difficult it becomes.

    Offseason rumors

    But if getting a better hitter was a stated goal, then why should they not be held to that goal? It's not someone else set a goal for them that was too lofty to reach - they put it on themselves, and it looks like they will not meet it. IMO, they should 100% be held to their own words and stated...

    Offseason rumors

    This doesn't make sense to me. Breslow says he doesn't want Yoshida to get the DH duties because we're probably going to sign someone else, but now that we won't sign someone else, we can't hold him to that statement?

    Offseason rumors

    We can't afford someone who can hit, AND YOU WANT HIM TO BE ABLE TO FIELD TOO?!?!?!

    Championship Weekend: Chiefs @ Ravens, Lions @ 49ers

    Exactly. I mean - I dislike the Chiefs a LOT. But damn do I hate the Ravens still

    red sox preview/predictions

    Oh, for sure. I don't think expecting improvements is out of the question, and I certainly won't be calling people out for having a different opinion. In fact, I think the real difference in my opinion is that I'm starting from the loss pace of September, and other people are either starting...
