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

    Listening to the latest Name Redacted episode, i would be surprised if he returned to Barstool. He talks about keeping the pod names wherever he goes unlike when he left Barstool. The tone didn’t seem to lean that way. I’d love if he just got a content deal with Spotify and a blend of other new...

    Totally agree. I wouldn't stake a flag on the hill of retiring 49. I would love it, but it's not the parade I have any interest in needlessly joining. If his number isn't retired in 2024, I suspect it won't be, and they'd be better off reissuing it to eliminate the question. Much like Wade Boggs...

    I legit guffawed at this. Every single number retired is largely about sentimentality. However, Tim Wakefield is a multi-generational individual, much like Johnny Pesky was. All the love in the world to likes of Pedroia, Nomar, Tiant, Betts, Petrocelli, DiMaggio, but at the end of the day...

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    I'll use Aroldis Chapman as an example. If the Sox acquired him, I'd have a hard time getting excited about every game he closed. He sucks as a human, and also quit on his team(Yanks 2022). Known actions absolutely impact enjoyment of a game I watch every day. I thank God 2004 didn't have any...

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    This is so great. I wonder if Wakefield ever brought up his only dinger when Mark Portugal joined the team in 1999.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Tim Wakefield is uniquely a multi-generational Red Sox, from 1995-2011 playing a significant part of every single season. From the heartache to beyond the realm of reality(2 titles!) and into the downturn again. So many fans from an age of memory/relevance, roughly 35-65 year old and beyond...

    Joey Votto: Hall of Famer?

    Was Joey Votto one of the best of his era? Sure. One of the best ever? I'm less convinced. When you need to start comparing him to the less 'worthy' HOF members, it's not a strong argument. I almost started off with let Dewey in before Votto, but I get why he isn't, for the most part. I'd also...

    Bloom, Cora -- Do they stay or do they go?

    Bloom, Cora -- Do they stay or do they go?

    I would be surprised if Bloom was gone anytime soon. I have no idea what ownership's plan is, but I have the belief generally you give your baseball guys a bunch of years to rebuild, and they're only 3ish years into it, depending how much you count 2020. After Cherington/Dombrowski, I would...

    Should the Sox have given Bogaerts a moderate extension?

    I wish the Red Sox would take a page out of the Braves playbook and sign good players to long contracts when they're young. That'd be super.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    Pizza reviews was the last thing I gave up when following the BS empire, but I'm glad I did. The confrontation almost seemed contrived because of how quickly the owner came out of the store after the review, To the point I wouldn't be surprised if it was planned. Portnoy's bumbling insults...

    Wander Franco Is In Trouble (Grooming/Pedo Warning)

    I thought the first post might've been tongue in cheek, but the second and third post are classic whataboutit posts. Virtually every article about the multiple allegations state the girls were underage at the time. How many accusations are enough to say, oh, okay, I guess there might be...

    Just how good was Nomar Garciaparra?

    In his 6 full seasons w/ the Sox he had almost 200 hits each of those full seasons. I was certain he'd maintain that greatness and easily eclipse 3,000 hits. I felt a similar way with Pedroia. I still frequently shout Nomar's better at MFY fans. Yes, I'm that guy. No regrets.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    It will be fascinating to watch this 'back to the pirate ship' idea. Barstool 20 years ago featured so many fresh faced young talent, and culturally things were a bit different. Just like musicians struggle to retain their vibrant talent for decades, it is virtually impossible. I suspect the...

    BPDA approves Fenway Corners, a $1.6 billion development around Fenway Park

    If the Sox could promise to let the sausage guys and bootleg tshirt guys stay on the streets, the rest is fine. As many have echoed, the smell of urine and the general area is devoid of anything exciting beyond the main streets around Fenway. Having a more lively area would only be a net...

    The Future of Alex Cora in Boston

    To paraphrase Walpole Joe, "these guys aren't as good as you think they are". I'll also refer to the Bobby Valentine era as the benchmark for questioning how much a manager impacts winning vs the quality of the roster. Cora is miles above Bobby Valentine, and this team is likely closer to Joe...

    Luis Arráez and his chase at a .400 Batting Average

    Great point. That was super fun. His entire resurgence was amazing.

    Luis Arráez and his chase at a .400 Batting Average

    I love this. Aside from checking if Judge homered the night before during last season, when was the last time there was an interesting reason to check on an individual player every day? The analytical look at this is laugh out loud funny. Is it too early? Is he getting cheapy hits? Do I care...
