    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    In a way, I'm thinking Story's days at SS are over from a mostly uneducated viewpoint. At short, he just has to cover more area, and do more acrobatic type maneuvers to make incredible plays. Thus exposing himself to more injuries. His one year at 2B with Bogaerts was less eventful, although...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I saw him make his first error IIRC on Wednesday at Oakland. Tried to pick the ball up and throw at the same time. But with Pivetta pitching it did not matter. LOL.

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    The other GMs have probably noticed our luck/expertise in the Rule 5. On Sunday Whitlock (from NYY) pitches a gem. Then closed out the game with Slaten, signed in a marginal trade with the Mets.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Dalbec outpaces them all in his versatility to strike out !!

    Let's Kut to the Chase

    Really good pitching first three days, you couldn't have imagined this a week ago. But with your best hitter not healthy, where is the offense gonna come from? Great pitching by Seattle. We can't get to Oakland and LA soon enough to get the bats in rhythm. O'Neill off to a good start, but I...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    What I can't get my mind around this off-season is the second (?) trade they made. Sale for a 2B/SS type player. First Sox traded their icon/fan favorite pitcher, in the rotation they had little depth. Sure he had an injury history. Then they got a 2B, which is a redundant position...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Who would have thunk that both the Lucases would not make the opening roster ?!!

    Red Sox sign RHP Chase Anderson

    I think Breslow is also thinking of building numbers ahead of the possibilities of other pitchers going on the IL this year. He might be in a state of shock at how many have gone down already, Mata, Giolito, Kelly, Murphy. And last year with Sale, Houck and Whitlock.

    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    What are the chances that Boston does not address other pitching moves until the trade deadline? By that time Breslow will have explored all the analytical "internal stats" and things "lining up" , of what we now have, and can make a more educated choice for 2024/2025. Surely we will know by...

    Red Sox Sign CJ Cron

    Cron's chances of making the roster may depend on his physical condition. Is he fully recovered from the back ailments from last year? Interestingly he came off IL last year to be the replacement for the Angel's Ohtani who had gone on the IL.

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    Criswell had four clean innings today with 4 K's. I'm pulling for him, used to pitch for my alma mater. Both Jansen and Martin got to relieve Criswell. The Sox defense had a glitch today when Wong overthrew 1st on a pick-off. Gave the O's their only run, so far.

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    Guy I know saw a Sox game the other day with Criswell pitching. He was barely hitting 90 on velo, based on a jugs gun somebody had. His strategy seems to be changing his pitching angles to keep batters off balance. I think Houck and Whitfield look to be the more effective 4 and 5 starters...

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    Getting ready to roll. In ten days the Sox get on the plane and depart for real action in Seattle.

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    Sox put up a nine-spot in the 1st inning against NYY today. If I remember Story, Devers and Wong went deep. The Yanks pitched Will Warren, but only five of the runs were earned, because of errors. The split squad tied the Bravos on the road 3-3. Dalbec and Reyes got homers.

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    Song had a rough outing in his first appearance. Then looked good this week with a clean 9th inning. And like you said, it could have been the first of the week, as I think he's only gotten the call two times.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    I'm thinking 69 wins. The catalyst of that is taking an internal solution to replacing Giolito, as Brez may have implied. If the inside solution takes hold, there will be a growing number of losses by June, and the Sox will be mostly sellers at the deadline, dispensing even more of the...

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    I watched Teel play a few games at Univ of Virginia. He is a really good athlete. For UVA he also played a few games in RF to show some versatility. Although he most likely won't leave catcher in MLB, his athletic ability allows him to get up to speed on the basepaths. Connor Wong doubled as...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I got the 168 games /3 years from the search deal - CoPilot. That was given to me by my Harvard friend. Search vehicles are what they are. If I dig deeper it shows he has played 100 games+ but one time in his six year career MLB. I hope this year he gives us a jump-start on the right hand side.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I voted yes, to sell. They have assembled a team missing a few stalwarts from last year, and replaced them with lower budget type players. Giolito the exception. I have a feeling this new business model will be carried forward in 2025, where they try to sign as many as three new pitchers by...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Raphaela may have to be the bromide for Sox ailments this year to play IF and CF. Grissom has missed all his ST games. Now O'Neill is having nagging calf problems this week. He played all of 80-90 games for Cardinals last year, about the same over last three years, approaching 95. TO'Neill...
