    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    Yup, and if Polanco beats you, so be it.

    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    You are right, no doubt. I think some of us are taking these early games more seriously because we fear a bad start will push this team off the cliff before the Summer even starts. This is not a very good team, but I actually find myself liking the group and hope that we can stay alive for as...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    I think it would be great if they could figure out a way to reverse the trend for starting pitching. Ace starting pitchers that pitch deep into the games are great for MLB and those players can be great faces of the league and build the fanbase. Think about the amount of actual time you might...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    I agree. The opening stretch is crucial for this team. If they get off to a bad start, it feels like a team that could spiral out of control quickly. Maybe we get a long winning streak and put those worries to bed early. Baseball can be that way.

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    If the team gets off to a bad start, it will get ugly very quickly. At that point, ownership should cut their losses and try to get what they can for 2025 and beyond. There is nothing else to do at that point. With the manager having one foot out the door, it would be real easy for a team like...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I can't believe this whole thing will be captured on Netflix. I hope it will capture a great underdog story. But, if this team falls of the cliff in April & May, I can't imagine what kind of things we will see next Spring on Netflix.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    When you see current and former players speaking out a month before the season starts, it is a sign things could get really ugly if this team gets off to a bad start. The wheels could come off quickly. I think it is essential for this team to really play well right out the gate.

    Theo’s back????!!!!

    Breslow's long term outlook just brightened considerably. I am sure he is thrilled to be honest.

    Offseason rumors

    My mood is changing by the day. I went from thinking they were in on both YY and Monty, to thinking they were punting a year to wait for the prospects, to just not being sure what is going on. I do not believe they are selling the team, but I am starting to have my doubts. It is probably just...

    Offseason rumors

    I don't think they plan to sell. I think the ownership is prepared to take their medicine for a season or two, and hope they can get another run going. And, it might work. The scenario where it will get really ugly is the one where the Red Sox get off to a bad start on the west coast and...

    red sox preview/predictions

    I will throw in my thoughts as of tonight. By the way, I was at winter weekend today with my wife & daughter. We went into 3 rooms for autographs and pics. My daughter got autographs from Trevor Story, Marcelo Mayer & Roman Anthony. We got photos with David Ortiz, Jonny Gomes & Lou Merloni. We...

    Offseason rumors

    Who really knows. Reporting is constantly changing. What happened to the wife going to med school in Boston rumor's a couple months ago?

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Ownership has been lucky the last 2 years. Although they finished in last place, they were competitive in the first half of both years. The nightmare scenario for ownership is the team getting off to a bad start and sinking deep down the standings early on. Fenway could actually be an ugly...

    No Town Hall this year at Red Sox Winter Weekend

    It was just noise. That doesn't bother them. They are avoiding it because they have nothing to say.

    Offseason rumors

    It is true. But, I think the ticket e-mails will as scheduled.
