    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    I took particular note of your section on Sale struggling significantly more with RISP. Couldn't this be due to either: A) struggling out of the stretch VS windup B) other teams being able to steal signs when they have a runner on 2nd

    Saving Sale

    The losses of Papi and Pedro have been softened greatly by Mookie and Sale. The Machado dustup made Sale instantly my favorite player. Dude has cajones

    JoKe

    This is driving me crazy. Who's the guy up front in white? And the 2 guys in between Swihart and Sale? You'd think them not wearing a hat wouldn't make such a difference

    The Red Sox and Developing Pitching

    I can't help but think the current upward trend in pitching development has a lot to do with Bannister. He did some great work with Rich Hill and Doug Fister. I hope they are able to keep him on staff long term

    BOS bullpen 2018

    While I agree with your general point that there is a gross overreaction to 1 game happening here, I think this one post is not an example of such. Some of us don't get to watch a lot of games or ST, so a poster asking for some feedback from the other posters here is a reasonable ask. Many of...

    MLB 2017 Offseason signings news/rumors

    I find it extremely hard to believe that Moose didn't get any better offers than that. That contract is so bad it boggles the mind

    Blake wants to rake

    I agree with this. Not only do I agree that his offense doesn't play long term at 1b, but its a position the Sox have pretty well covered. If Swihart can't get reps at 2b, ss or 3b to prove he's at least adequate there, then I don't think he gets many ABs with the Sox save for a few games at C

    Blake wants to rake

    For some reason Swihart always makes me think of Brandon Inge. He's an athletic catcher who should be able to play a few different positions around the diamond. I don't think he will be as capable on the left side of the infield as Inge was but he should also have a little bit higher BA. Inge...

    JDM is signed-5 years, 110 mil

    Are you referring to the old forum named the sandbox or are you using sandbox as a euphemism for something more vulgar? Because I'm sure many of us can think of another place where a large portion of this thread belongs

    The offseason heading into 2018

    Forgive the lack of knowledge, but you guys keep bashing the CBA as being terrible and for the uninformed (like me) baseball players seem to have the best situation of all the major sports. With the exception of the low salary, team control for the first few years their potential for earnings...

    Winter Meetings 2018: Rumors and Speculation

    Seriously, they just let anybody in here now? Matt Holiday won the batting title in 2007. Otherwise the Yankees haven't signed an NL batting champ since before Tony Gwynn and that's when I stopped to even check if there were any others. As for the NL Cy winners, there was Randy Johnson and...

    Winter Meetings 2018: Rumors and Speculation

    This is cool to read. He bought a watch from one of my stores a year or two ago. I wanted to go down there and just talk baseball but figured that would be annoying. Now finding out he was a Sox fan make me regret it more

    Let's get crazy (risky acquisitions and offseason plans)

    Regarding JBJ's defensive value, forgive my ignorance but do any of these stats accurately take into account JBJ's arm? Even with the decline in strength and accuracy last year, I would still venture to guess he has one of the top 5 CF arms in MLB. All the times that people don't test him going...

    David Price 2017

    Can we please not? Haven't we had enough threads completely devolve into nonsense? Especially threads regarding David Price. I'm guessing the vast majority of SOSHers would prefer to discuss David Price's pitching going forward. I personally don't care for any more discussion of his...

    Sox claim Doug Fister

    Strangely enough, when I used to watch the tigers pitchers back in the day, I loved Fister and thought he had much better "stuff" than Porcello. When the Sox traded for Ricky P I was skeptical of his long term future and was upset they didn't get Fister instead for a much lower package. Now...

    Devers called up to Majors

    Thank you for posting this. Man I miss watching Vlad play baseball. Best bad ball hitter I've ever seen and the bat just seemed like a toothpick in his hands. If Devers is even a remote approximation of Vlad it's going to be a blast watching him with the Bs. Thoroughly likeable young nucleus...

    What's the matter with Rick Porcello?

    Just did a little crash course on fangraphs and there were a couple of things that stood out, but who knows if they are meaningful. it looks like he's featuring a much heavier mix of curve balls and mainly sliders this year than last 2016 SL% 4.7 CU% 13.8 2017 SL% 16.5 CU% 14.8 At the...

    What's the matter with Rick Porcello?

    I am not versed in pitchfx whatsoever, but I remember two years ago RP changed his pitch mix to get more strikeouts and that resulted in a spike in HR/9. Then last year he changed it "back" so to speak and relied more on his sinker and more GB outs. I wonder if he is again being lured by the...

    Shank aka CHB calls out David Price calling out Eck

    Are YOU joking? He made a joke, about the saying "take him out back and shoot him" and why it is "out back" so technically it is a saying joke or a shooting joke. It has absolutely nothing to do with lynching or race. Don't make the 87th incarnation of this thread about race AGAIN please Sent...
