    VoIP problems

    We use 3cx and I'm happy with it. I deployed it all myself to replace a hosted solution, saving like 90% on our phone costs, and it was fairly painless. They have recommended partners out there if you don't have your own IT folks who understand what goes into it.

    Will Smith signs 10 year, 140 million extension with Dodgers

    He turns 29 tomorrow. That's a lot of years for a catcher who does not have the nickname "Pudge."

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Who? JMOH asked why a fan would be okay with the team not signing Montgomery. A fan might be more interested in watching those other pitchers. Red Sox management signed Giolito in the winter. The plan was likely to trade one of Houck, Crawford, or Whitlock plus something else for another...

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

    The article did actually mention that Cora dropped 30 pounds and is in much better shape than last year.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    If you're more interested in what both Whitlock and Houck can do as starters when they're in that role from the very beginning of spring training, you don't want to see Montgomery signed to take one of their spots.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    You build a team based on what your players can do now and in the future, not what they've done in the past. You never know when someone is going to put it all together (or when it's all going to fall apart after they have). Red Sox management are betting they're going to be much better going...

    Jordan Montgomery signs with Arizona

    How'd that 7 year demand work for him?

    Revised contract predictions for Snell and Montgomery

    He might have gotten those kinds of offers back in November and turned them down, now he's looking for them in March and finding they've all dried up.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    The story will make a lot more sense when Shohei reveals that the person hired to run his finances is Manny Ramirez.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Could he get 3% of his payoff today with the other 97% deferred for 10 years when nobody's paying attention?

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

Pivetta -Team leader for Batting Average (qualifying)? Devers -Team leader for OPB (qualifying)? Casas...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I don't see how his statement is going to be anything other than, "This is an active investigation and I can't talk about it, so don't ask any more questions."

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

    You could tie free agency to age rather than service time. Everyone gets to be a free agent in the year they turn 28 regardless of when they made the majors. Teams would bring up their young players whenever they were most likely to help the team with less consideration of service time. On the...

    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    I'm not predicting anything. I'm saying they're not going to be on any kind of innings limit and that innings limits from year to year are not productive. As for who has made big innings jumps, pretty much every pitcher in the top 10 of innings last year. Just grabbing a few off the top...
