    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I was listening to Sunday’s game, when CR made a late inning (8th or 9th) error at SS after starting the game at SS, moving to CF for a few innings, then back to SS. LouMer gave him a pass for the error — easy to do with the big lead and after the kid hit a big homer — talking about how tough it...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Jumps out at me that most of the staff are Bloom acquisitions/development regime. Breslow’s additions (among the contributors thus far) are: Anderson Campbell Criswell Slaten Uwahara (Wishful thinking! Haha) Uwasawa Weissert But Bloom didn’t bring in Bailey. That’s the big difference.

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Who is the hitting coach equivalent of Andrew Bailey? Because this team needs that guy, bad.

    May: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    He's popping up. Technically fly balls, but fly balls at 39+ degree launch angles. The hard hit stats are misleading. He's swinging hard, and making hard contact, high up into the air. The weather isn't keeping those balls in the park, the launch angle is. As for pitch type, it's more fastballs...

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    Teel bats left, Wong bats right. McGuire would seem to be the odd man out. If Wong keeps hitting like this, they can find other ways to get his bat in the lineup when he's not catching. Ditto for Teel.

    5/1/2024 - May Day Games (& Night Games)

    Terrible. Hope it's not as bad as it looks. Kid was tearing it up in Salem. Get well soon.

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    SOSH's very own @BaseballJones has been working on a formula to account for all offensive contributions - Total Bases. There's a whole thread on it: https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/my-ideal-metric-total-bases.42377/

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Why is that weird? I root for every player wearing the uniform. They do well, the team does well. I want them all to put up their 95 percentile season every season, be perennial All-Stars. Of course you’re rooting for him. If you’re not, why are you a Red Sox fan?
