    2023 WC Round Game/Discussion Thread

    Funny context: the Tampa game drew 8,000 fewer people than the A's reverse boycott this summer.

    Apparently the lowest postseason attendance since 1919? Holy shit.

    It's looking good this inning.

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    Signing Bauer would be a massive fuck you to every victim of domestic and sexual violence, and let's not do that please.

    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    YES that Gomes/Holt catch is one of my favorite pieces of baseball video ever. So glad the camera operator lost the ball too.

    Better than the official highlight cause the walk up music was so important. View: https://youtu.be/MF0GLfd1Hqk?si=wHm2IR-6V6iZAfTW

    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    The 2004 ALCS sparked my return to baseball fandom and the beginning of my relationship with the Sox, but the 2013 and 2018 postseasons were the most memorable for me as a whole. 2018 made me feel lucky to watch a team that good, but the pure vibe of 2013 was simply unmatched. The joy of the...

    The Story remains the same? The progress back from injury

    I'm not sure where you're going with that comparison or even what you're comparing.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    I'd say they should, except 49 is a special number for knuckleballers and I'd guess Wake himself might want it available if another one comes along. He absolutely deserves the honor though.

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    They reset this winter. I'd expect them to go over the threshold next year; they have a lot more money coming off after 24 from Jansen/Martin/Verdugo/probably Sale, so that's another easy reset if they want it.

    So....who is the new GM/head of baseball ops?

    I don't have a globe sub, is this a quote from the article or your own thoughts? Either way, I'd ask the author to back up the bolded with an argument.

    Will Cora be back in ‘24?

    Kind of interesting that all the people caterwauling about him here can't imagine how that might be the case.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    That's wonderful, thank you. (and once again, fuck NESN for kicking Orsillo out of town. He should have been here today just like he should have been here for Remy.)

    9/30 - Losing My Religion

    Reyes getting into the spirit of the festivities here. Really looking forward to the top of the 8th where we rack up 5 consecutive hits and fail to score.

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    You may be forgetting a bit about how absolutely atrocious he was as a starter at the beginning of the year. I've been a Pivetta defender for a long time as a mediocre innings eater, but this spring he couldn't even touch mediocrity with a pole. Removing him from the rotation was exactly the...
