    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    I knew viewership was going to be big, but just wow. I wonder 1) how much of that audience sticks around next year without Caitlin Clark and 2) how much of that audience follows Clark into watching the WNBA. I really hope the fans that sold out arenas across the midwest now become dedicated...

    NCAA Men's Final Four Thread

    OK, that was really impressive. I don't really follow men's college basketball - how many of these UConn guys are going to be in the NBA?

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    The women's final got moved from Tuesday to Sunday in 2017, and then last year for the first time it was broadcast on ABC and managed 9.9 million viewers so is unlikely to go anywhere for the foreseeable future.

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

    I don't know how many wins this team is going to end up with, but they're actually fun to watch unlike last year. They need more pitching, but I can see a coherent vision for how this roster was constructed.

    Triston was miced up today and was asked about his pre-game routine (can't embed youtube shorts it seems) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2l1SseokHIw I love this dude.

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

    A while back they interviewed him on the post-game show and he broke down the entire game. Afterwards one of the guys on the desk was like, well, Triston just did our job for us, what do we talk about now?

    Extreme Makeover: The Jarren Duran Edition

    His defense is way better, too. His jumps and routes aren't perfect, but as long as they aren't, like, in the wrong direction like they felt last year, his speed really allows him to shine out there.

    Kevin Youkilis to be NESN's primary color analyst on Red Sox broadcasts in 2023

    I liked Youk, particularly as the season went along and he better understood the role. He really understands hitting and provides excellent insight in that area of the game. I don't remember watching a game Middlebrooks called, but look forward to getting an opportunity to do so. The one game I...

    Triston Casas promoted, Bobby Dalbec demoted

    Yeah. In hearing people talk about prospects I've never quite understood when they describe hitter's approach at the plate and how you can see even in plate appearances with bad outcomes how some players have a plan at the plate. In watching the difference between a Dalbec and Casas at-bat, it's...

    Red Sox on the Radio

    I have two guesses: 1) that radio doesn't pay enough for any former player to consider it 2) doing PBP for radio involves a LOT of talking, and switching off every few innings between the primary PBP person allows them to avoid destroying their voices.

    Sawamura DFA

    I remember being introduced to Hi-Chew after reading about how he ingratiated himself to the clubhouse last year by giving them a bunch of it, and it is delicious. So thanks for that.
