    How many of these pitchers with one career Red Sox save do you remember

    Can someone explain where this nickname came from?

    J.D. Martinez: Hips Don't Lie

    Some teams may not get to 85% at all. Scott Servais ‘concerned’ that Mariners won’t meet MLB threshold after COVID-19 vaccine offered to players, staff

    Tebow Time! Can't kaep him down.

    Your example is outstanding, but John-Henry Williams has to get an honorable mention. Wiki: Dubbed "The Kid's Kid" by the media, John Henry had his father's build but little of his baseball talent: after just two games (where he failed to get a hit in six at-bats), he broke two ribs crashing...

    Les Athlétisme de Montréal or The Vegas Aces?

    And it’s been a couple of years since I read this, but the owners of the other Texas teams thought it’d be great to have another team in the state.

    Thoughts about media types who don't have their own threads

    NESN has him on video, but I can’t find it online. “My pitcher asked out of that game.” I found this, though. And yet he sent Clemens to the on deck circle to hit for himself after that “conversation.” It’s on video. Greenwell came out to pinch hit after he was already on deck. (But I’m not...

    Garrett Richards' simplified delivery

    Make no mistake; I hope it’s real. And he was definitely putting plenty of breaking balls through the strike zone last night. My fear is that some of those pitches looked like hanging curveballs to me (not that I could hit them, mind you), so I’m afraid of what big league hitters would do to...

    Garrett Richards' simplified delivery

    Facing an NL lineup also complicates drawing conclusions about whether improvements for a pitcher are real. I recall guys who looked great in interleague starts that regressed quickly when facing an AL East lineup again.

    Cord Already Cut - Which/How Many Streaming Subs Do You Have and Why?

    The Red Sox don’t own the right to show live video their games outside their own territory. No team does. That all got tossed into the shared revenue bucket years ago along with the money from selling merchandise with the team logo on it. And the entity that does own that right doesn’t want to...

    Extra Innings Rule

    In the regular season, a game is official after 5 innings. Postseason games will be delayed by bad weather and finished later if 9 innings are not completed. There was no rule for this in the Philly/Tampa Bay World Series, so Selig was prepared to make one up on the spot. They edited the rule...

    MLB Offseason 2020 News & Notes

    This is not too different from how Theo and Boras structured Beltre’s one year “pillow deal,” IIRC. There was a bogus 1 year player option for play money that temporarily reduced the luxury tax hit for Boston, but eventually the piper did get paid the proper tax.
