    The Elam Ending — No More Fouls!

    Quick bump here as we head into Championship Week in Chicago. Wichita was a something to behold... man Kansas loves their basketball. Over 20k tickets sold last weekend there and the Marquette Alumni team won $96k (25% of sales). Syracuse and Ohio State were also strong. As for Elam, the...

    The Elam Ending — No More Fouls!

    The issue is really the logistical costs associated with competing in a winner take all tournament. Not just the travel /F&B around advancing through the tournament, but the time and resources put in preparing for it as well. In a perfect world, we would be able to cover hard costs for all...

    The Elam Ending — No More Fouls!

    Just seeing this, but I handle revenue and partnerships for TBT. Elam Ending was such a great success this past year. Nick has been analyzing every game and is suggesting some tweaks to the format. We think there will be a couple changes implemented this year. Most are still under debate, but...

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    1. Next year it’s $226 and $246m 2. Both the base tax and the top tier tax increase as second offenders, so it would be 30% on first $20m over, 42% on next $20m, and then 75% after that. 3. Their would be another year with the draft hit. 4. Each year of continued tax increases the base. 5...

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    And the $40M+ surtax increases to 45% as second time payor. Coupled with the 10% increase in base penalty, the Sox would owe 75 cents on ever dollar spent over $246M.

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    While history has proven this ownership is willing to pay the luxury tax and incur the annual increase that comes with consecutive offenses. it has also shown that A/ they don't like to surpass the 2nd tax surcharge level and B/ tend to get back under the cap fairly quickly to reset the...

    Which type of plate discipline is eating Panda?

    I much rather take a shot at an arm like Latos on FA than trade for Shields. He's the youngest pitcher on the market, will take a one year deal, etc.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    But separating BB's respect for the military from some other entities is not, i don't believe, the point. Respect for the military is fundamental to who he is. It's always been part of his personal life... and we know it quite often bleeds into his professional one. It's not a "monthly"...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Yep, I am more or less in the same camp (i.e. nowhere to put him). It's not just one injury, a bunch have piled up. elbow, shoulder, knee, sneezes. On the other hand the Reds have a pretty lousy track record of dealing with injuries and last year he probably WAS worth the $12M in terms of...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Thoughts on Mat Latos? I know the injury issues.. but he's averaged 2.7 WAR over past 3 seasons (which would be prorated to 3.7 if healthy - I know.. but still). He's 28. Can the Red Sox make a play for one of the top 4-5 FA's discussed above as well as a guy like Latos? Seems like a 1-year...

    Trade Rumors

    I think he should be, but the concern (I'm guessing) is how the transition to the AL would work itself out long term. He had issues this year when he moved over.. but sample size is too small for me to throw the towel on him not being considered elite anymore. Not to mention his BABIP jumped...

    Yoan Moncada signs with Red Sox($30 Million)

    Incredible stuff by the FO. They have such depth in their offense... giving them such flexibility in the trade market or potential injury issues.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    You know we are dealing with Goodell's NFL here, right? I'd do cartwheels for irresponsible... this seems much more deliberate than that.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    The NFL really doesn't want this damn story to die. More leaks with no evidence. They have video of someone not running direct from the room to the field?? Is that even the protocol? Unless there is some rule that the ball boy must go directly to the field after retrieving the balls.. this...

    Red Sox & Pablo Sandoval agree to 5 Year, $100 Millionish Deal

    I keep coming back to Ken Arneson great blog recently as I think about this deal http://ken.arneson.name/2014/11/10-things-i-believe-about-baseball-without-evidence/ Specifically the point about having different type of hitters in a lineup to make it harder on pitchers "Belief Without...

    Grantland

    The thing that annoys me most about Grantland is that I'm just not able to keep up. To me, that is a good thing. Which has made this thread so great - I actually wish they had instilled a "like" option or something. I understand people will like different writers for different reasons, but...

    Beyond The Rulebook: SoSH's guide to How to Follow Baseball

    Not very technical, but it has everything to do with how I follow baseball Between Pitches Baseball, more than any other sport outside Golf, is game that has more down time than actual action. Even the longest plays take 10-12 seconds at most. But unlike every other game - there is so much to...

    Grantland

    I'd say a couple things after reading through those: 1) I think those numbers are promising for Grantland. During the month of the launch (not event a month, 3 weeks really), they had nearly 1 million unique users. While Grantland wasn't promoted that heavily, it was to Simmons readership -...
