    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    2004 WS Celebration

    Thank you. This is the post of the day. I love to complain about the owners as much as the next guy, but not everything is a conspiracy. Maybe they just want to honor the Wakefields and the team that broke the fucking curse!

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    In response to the poster up-thread that said they don't care if the starting pitcher even exists...I want to agree with you, because it really shouldn't matter. But to me, it does matter. I have always watched as many Sox games as I can, throughout my youth when not all games were on TV to...

    2024 Red Sox: Better, Worse, or About the Same?

    I voted worse, but I would love to be wrong. I do think there are some slight reasons for optimism. Grissom will be better than our 100 different 2B last year, a healthy Story helps, Duran could add a speed/on base element to the top of the order that we only had for a short time last year...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Yeah, going to agree with KillerBs above. I do not see how a 6 man rotation makes any sense with this group. If you have an Ohtani or Yamamoto who aren't used to pitching every 5th day but when they do pitch they can go deep into the game, then sure a 6 man can make sense. But for Houck and...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    This offseason couldn't have gone much worse. We have gained nothing, and last year's team had major issues. I like Grissom and hopefully his injury is a very short term issue, but the pitching staff was awful last year, and we have replaced Sale and Paxton with nothing. This offseason is so bad...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Winck was our 3rd best reliever last year. I definitely don't want him in AAA. I will admit, he's probably the next most likely starting candidate, but he should be in the pen on opening day. No way is he a minor leaguer after the numbers he posted last year.

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    From yahoo sports. In a text with one of her friends, she says: “Need daddy to choke me out,” another “Being an absolute WHORE to try to get in on his $51 million.” There is still a lot of he said, she said, and I don't think he's a saint by any means, but she says to her friend that she wants...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    I know this was probably said as a joke, but why won't teams take a chance on Bauer? The woman has literally admitted that she set him up, lied about the rape, all to get at his money. He reportedly likes rough sex, he's clearly not a saint, but neither are a bunch of other professional...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Legit concern...who the hell is the team's 6th starter now that Whitlock is most likely moved to the rotation? Nobody else in the bullpen is a capable starter and AAA doesn't seem to have anyone who is ready. We are 1 injury away from having to rely on an opener like last year, except this year...

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    Updated my predicted wins to below 73. Predicting 71-91. Also changed some answers. Guess Giolito won't be leading the team in losses (to be honest, I liked the signing and thought he could really bounce back, but losses don't always mean you are pitching poorly. I just expected him to lead the...

    Stacy Wakefield has passed away from cancer

    Just awful. I just lost a friend, mid-40s, to pancreatic cancer on Monday. Had a pain in his side in late December, and died 2 months later. Super aggressive and they couldn't even get him stable enough to fight it. Fuck Cancer!

Duran -Team leader for OBP (qualifying)? Casas -Team leader in OPS? Devers -Team leader in HR? Devers...

    Offseason rumors

    I agree that signing Montgomery makes sense. There are exactly ZERO long term commitments to that rotation, so it's not like signing Montgomery is limiting other options down the road. Like you said, only 3 "starters" under contract for next year, and 1 of them would be better suited as a...

    Offseason rumors

    ESPN has the Sox 19th in their power rankings with a projected win total of 79. But the comment in the write up is what stood out to me...it basically says (and I'm paraphrasing since it's an ESPN+ article, "you're the Red Sox. It's obvious you need impact starting pitching. 2 of them are just...

    Offseason rumors

    Agree. That definitely plays a part. But at the same time, baseball used to be a lot more fast moving and exciting for fans. You didn't used to have all-stars waiting until spring training starts to sign a contract. Is Scott Boras the single biggest reason why that has changed in recent years?

    Offseason rumors

    To change gears slightly here, I would like to make a point and see how others feel. Baseball's hot stove season used to be one of my favorite times of the year. In fact, if the Sox weren't in the World Series, I sort of wanted it to end so free agency could start. The Winter Meetings were AN...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I would love to see Grissom in the 2 spot, and possibly even leading off against lefties, but I don't see that happening early in the year. Also, we have so many left-handed hitting OF/DH that they can't all sit vs. lefties. I would love to put Duran in the leadoff spot and just leave him there...

    Offseason rumors

    That is a great point. It really would cost them significantly more than just the "sticker price". If the Rangers are truly out because of this, and the Sox are at all serious about winning, then this should be a no-brainer.
