    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    It's not just more Pedro and Clemens. Modern pitcher usage is just boring no matter who's involved. There used to be drama in the 7th or 8th inning. Could the crafty veteran figure his way out of a jam? Did the manager wait too long to make a change? Could the fire balling reliever come in...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Seems like we should return to the pre-1968 mound to give pitchers more of an advantage versus hitters instead of having to throw every pitch at 99 mph.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I've been pretty vocal in my criticism of the front office over the last few years and, more recently, of FSG, but I've taken my time posting here because I don't really know the answer. Henry & Co. merit a lot of love for the 4 titles and there's the devil-you-know argument (I think about Jets...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    He already owns a piece of the team. He is (or at least was) one of the limited partners in the partnership Henry put together to buy the team.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    Sustainable apparently meaning "flitter around .500 most of the season and hope you get hot late" to judge from the last several years...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I don't know that I'd put it that way, exactly. They'd be perfectly happy (ecstatic probably) if the team wins. They just don't want to take financial risks that might increase the likelihood of that happening.

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    He says "I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place," but the CNN piece claims that he said it was a government job, not that "the events" never happened at all. So what events does he believe took place? Wasn't his original 2021 Covid vaccine thing also...

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    They drew 3.3 million people last season, easily an all time record for them. What a disaster!

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    This guy really is the world's biggest attention whore, isn't he? It was pretty funny the way this news shut down talk of the Saquan/Tiki feud on WFAN this afternoon, at least for the time I was listening.

    A Stupid Gamble: DraftKings Ripping Off Baseball Prospectus Articles

    The AI probably did it. The whole thing is just a giant plagiarism machine, right?

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Nobody else will get worse or get hurt? Yes, performances are always changing but not always in a positive direction.

    What if you could change one thing - Red Sox edition

    This, a thousand times this. I guess there was also that Ruth deal, but that was before my time. How about no WW II/Korea so Teddy Ballgame has a shot at 715?

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Okay, we shouldn't be surprised that some feel that way. Does that satisfy your need for lawyerly precision?
