    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    For those of us that have been around for a while this is still only 1/10th what it was like when G38 came for Thanksgiving and the ARod trade that ultimately wasn't.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    A simpler way to read this is that he now has an offer in hand from the Red Sox and is shopping it around NY to see if one of the two teams will beat it. And it's probably more complicated than just years and $$$ or AAV so he wants to do it in person.

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    EVERY NFL team handles injuries like this. No team is transparent on injuries. Now, excuse me while I sit down, I'm sidelined with a "lower body".

    2022 Dolphins: Our coach is cooler than yours

    If the doctors didn't see the "falling down" part of the video then that would be the first failure of the string of failures here. That's the whole point of the independent spotter.

    2022 Dolphins: Our coach is cooler than yours

    The coverup is always worse than the crime. This wouldn't have stunk to high heaven last week if they hadn't thrown out the inane claim of it not being a concussion and being a back injury instead. Anyone with a functioning brain knew that was pure bullshit. The only thing I fault McDaniel...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    No, they expect some sort of show which then gives them their article or sound bite or whatever. And when they do get that sound bite they play right along and ask as many similar questions as possible to keep generating the same response. A tennis game as it were where they keep tapping the...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    Yep. And there's a reason that the guys are on the defensive side - if they could catch the ball they'd play offense.

    Ime Udoka suspended for the 22-23 season

    This whole "consensual" thing is just a red herring. If Ime got suspended for a consensual relationship with another woman in the organization then the woman also would have received some sort of "punishment". So, obviously, it's more than that. The other weird aspect of "consensual" is...

    Ime Udoka suspended for the 22-23 season

    A great way to alienate everyone in the organization who isn't leaking information. I don't think I'd appreciate my boss feeding me stories/details about something just to see if I'd leak it. I don't really want to work for someone who doesn't trust me like that.

    ERod to Tigers: 5 years/$77 million, opt out after Y2

    He's going to start on Sunday with no rehab assignment? I realize he wasn't hurt but it's been quite a long stretch where he hasn't thrown in a game. Or did I miss something here?

    Worst 3 game stretch in Sox history?

    Yep, this was the worst stretch for me too. They came into ‘04 with a ton of expectations and then immediately crapped the bed as soon as it really counted. I’m so glad I gave up on the Red Sox for good at that point and never watched a game again

    Jarren Duran: Today We Like Him

    Yeah, right. Sounds like mom or dad smacked him upside the head.

    How Do You Root For the Sox?

    Quite true. If I had known then what I know now about G38 that definitely would have lessened my enjoyment of that team. The politics of the past 6 or so years and the intermixed covid issues have really done a number on me as far as players I root for. Try as I might, I just cannot see the...

    How Do You Root For the Sox?

    It's definitely both for me. However, I certainly don't find it as enjoyable to root for the "Red Sox" when they have players that I abhor. Would I rather root for a team with Houck, Duran and Sale and win or one with Pedro, Big Papi and Mookie and lose? Probably the latter. I will have...

    Jarren Duran: Today We Like Him

    I was coming into this thread to write about how different Duran has looked this year compared to last. I was going to say how much more confident and aggressive and fun he seems. Alas...

    How Much Do You Hate the Shift Ban?

    Whenever a player or team finds a way to exploit the rules in a way that changes the game and makes it less appealing the rules gets changed - in every sport- except baseball. Baseball is the only sport that treats everything as 'sacred'. Every other sport will alter its rules to keep with...

    How Much Do You Hate the Shift Ban?

    I hate the shift. I don't mind small defensive shifts but it was getting silly. I absolutely hate it when a lefty hits a one hop bullet to right field... and gets thrown out by the 2nd baseman playing 80 feet in the outfield. For the "players should learn to adjust" crowd. If you're a...

    The Mainboard MLB Lockout Thread

    Does it even matter who's fault this all is? I see this all the time, "the owners are doing such and such to shift blame on the players...", "the players are winning the PR battle to put pressure on the owners", etc. But what difference does it really make who is to blame? Is anyone going...

    The Mainboard MLB Lockout Thread

    For every sports lockout/strike I always hear about how it will cause a "lost generation" of fans. I've always been rather dubious of that claim... until now. I grew up in Mass and moved to the Seattle area in 1995. The vast majority of the days in the spring and summer have the Red Sox...
