    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Great examples! I believe the argument is for the elbow to be below the shoulder, ideally with the ball pointing in a direction between shortstop and third. A little chair yoga exercise... raise your elbow above your shoulder and rotate your throwing arm back and compare a similar motion...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Baselining the proper throwing mechanics in a biomechanical model might provide the next market efficiency. There was concern that the so called inverted W arm action was leading to elbow and shoulder injuries at a faster rate than the so called L arm action. I can't imagine this would be an...

    Happy Thanksgiving! I’m grateful to be a fly on the wall in this amazing community of fatalists, enthusiasts, and savants. Cheers!

    2022-23 Bs Ticket Thread

    You only turn 50 once. Looking for 2 tickets for 2/11. To kick off a birthday extravaganza week. My wife is shipping me back up to Boston (and then Vermont for full disclosure)!

    Expectations for the 2022 Pats

    Exactly.

    Expectations for the 2022 Pats

    11-7 with a slow start to strong finish progression. Expecting a top 3 ranked defense. Would not be surprised if the offense progresses into a top 10 unit.

    Pats Preseason: Offense Edition

    I like this decision from a competitive stand point. Mac Jones still has the opportunity to outplay Cam Newton. Cam will likely cannibalize the reps with the 1's in practice today. If Cam performs poorly today and Mac does well with available reps, does Mac get the start on Sunday?

    Tonight: MFY@ Rays for 3. Who you rooting for?

    Sweep the leg. The Rays could stand to be knocked down 3 pegs.

    Pats Draft Poll

    Voted to trade up to 10 and draft a QB, but would have choose to wait to draft a QB at 15 if Pitts, Sewell, Chase, Smith, Waddle come off the board quickly. If no QB is available at 15 take Horn or Parsons.

    Better anthem choices than James Taylor

    Phish. Guster, and Grace Potter are all good suggestions. Have to continue that independent theme with Susan Tedeschi and Ryan Montbleau.

    Swihart's second rodeo

    Heck no, I am saying that a larger sample size is needed and warranted based on need and upside. The team can afford to give Swihart a longer audition at catcher this year. Blake is still the Red Sox highest upside catching prospect, yes?

    Swihart's second rodeo

    Swihart has demonstrated that his defense is not terrible and he's flashed an intriguing hit tool for the position. @tonyarmasjr makes a compelling case. The Red Sox have a 9 game lead and are on a historic win pace. Data drives out speculation. The team can afford to give Swihart a chance to...

    Swihart's second rodeo

    I want to deemphasize Swihart's performance during the injury plagued seasons, especially if his injury's are not chronic. Increased playing time will drive out speculation. Swihart should be evaluated as a catcher or set free. The injury to Vazquez opened the door for Blake to earn a role...
