When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

I'm fairly intrigued by the larger base size. Baseball has a long history of a runner being called out if the glove and ball are down ahead of the runner. In recent years, I'm guessing due to replay, the neighborhood play no longer applies, both on turning DPs as well as on tags. Runners these...

I agree the Fubo reviews have been a great help. Thank you all for your input. I am very pleased with YTTV, other than dropping NESN. The unlimited DVR, and ability to say “record all of xyz” is one of those things you never knew you needed, but now hate to do without. Change of schedule, rain...

Thanks for clarifying that, Kelpap. I did send it to SK, and he forwarded it internally to be addressed. What I found encouraging was the level of who called me (an exec VP) as well as his apparent sincerity and willingness to be open to improvement. No excuses, and significant discussion on...

SoSH was never mentioned, although I "anonymously name-dropped" in my email to Sam Kennedy. I referenced sending same email to a well-known local journalist asking for advice getting it noticed, and he suggested, correctly, that SK was very responsive. I agree the team most likely recognizes...

Thanks for all who inquired about the status of my letter to the Red Sox, both publicly and via PM (post #226). Writing this is a mix of sharing what I learned, as well as helping me process my thoughts. I had no reply after 3 weeks, so I forwarded the email to Sam Kennedy, asking if he would...

Quoting myself here for context. I let this percolate for a while in my subconscious, and sent the following letter to the Red Sox this morning. Dear Boston Red Sox, I write this with hope of encouraging the entire organization to use its power, forum, financial position, and collective voice...

As a white dad of a black 9-year-old boy, the increasing racial divide in this country both exhausts me and horrifies me. My single most important role in life is to protect my son. The fact that so many like Brasier exist within our society has been a mild shock to me over the past 5 years. The...

I believe it is a Honda issue. I have a 2018 civic, and have had many CarPlay issues since buying it new, although less severe than yours. The dealership explained that their interface was built for android, and the apple portion was an add-on. They offered no solutions. Connecting is sketchy...

I admit to enjoying the Mr Chemistry thread more than I should. I envision a combination of Tom Bodley and Bryan Cranston/Walter White from Breaking Bad.

Probably some perception bias there in my part. It just seems like so many less possessions of “my turn to shoot” without Mr. C around. We still see “no Marcus, no, no.......nice shot”, but seems less frequent. On the other hand, jack happy is a great phrase. Sounds like a Who song played in...

I am not a shot mechanics guru, so I appreciate all the good insight on this forum. To the eye test, he seems to have significantly better shot selection on 3s than earlier in his career. Much more in the flow of the offense, i.e. shots that CBS wants. In terms of defense and overall court...

I’m in the midst of a 2-week YouTube TV trial. I watch most sox, Celtics, and pats games, quite often on DVR. I am fairly happy with their DVR functionality so far. Primarily use any of 3 devices. TV with built in apps, TV with roku, and older iPad. All somewhat different controls, but all...

Not related, but top of my wish list for rule changes is to eliminate all video replay personnel. Why is technology allowed there only, but not elsewhere? 20 seconds max to decide whether to challenge, with no assistance. Would be less clear when to challenge, and perhaps give advantage to a...

I've also been frustrated with this pattern. 10-day DL seemingly makes it easier to go that route, but I'm not seeing that. Beyond not healing as quickly, the bad habits developed when compensating for an injury can last even longer. I would have guessed the team would welcome an opportunity to...
