    Will the Red Sox pick up a PPI this year?

    How old are you?

    I think we should add this to the SOSH subheading: Home to the Red Sox DTFC contingent and a place where Rick Lancelotti's name is still thrown around. A bunch of old dudes who are super cringe.

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    We were fortunate to have Rafaela's versatility last year when our middle infield went down and we lost TON for a third of the season. He *could* start at 2 different positions if the shit hits the fan but his superlative defense shows up in CF, not SS. So yeah, he could play a lot if Story goes...

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    Second worst OPS+ in all of baseball? Actually not. I wont try to parse the difference between Truly Horrible and just plain bad. But according to your link, he was second worst among QUALIFIED batters in the American League. So he was second worst among hitters who amassed 450+ plate...

    How old are you?

    I'm a few months older than Oil Can and a few months younger than Nip. I don't mind being old, but it weirds me out to think that The Can is eligible for Medicare. Growing up in southern Virginia, I knew nothing of the Red Sox and baseball was something that only came on Saturday afternoons...

    Max Fried signs with MFY

    I'm a big fan of DD. I can't think of a more surprising and shocking firing of a POBO. We have sorely missed his decisiveness and aggressive pursuit of the players he wanted, and he was a top notch talent evaluator. He knew which prospects to trade and which ones to keep, and didn't mind...

    Max Fried signs with MFY

    I get that people are frustrated, but I am SO tired of reading complaints like this over and over and over. Dombrowski got fired because he didn't have a plan to sustain the level of success he achieved in 2018. Or, a major piece of his plan was to count on big money pitchers staying healthy...

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    Not to hijack the Arrenado discussion, but someone needs to push back against the whole Story-can't-stay-healthy story-line (bad pun I admit). He's been a durable good-hitting/great fielding shortstop his whole career until needing elbow surgery. It gives off a Chris Sale vibe -- a freak injury...

    Mark Bellhorn: Hero or zero?

    My question is: Would you go halfsies on a pizza with him?

    Should the Sox sell high on Jarren Duran?

    True he has no shot at the Hall of Fame, but he does have a decent shot at the Hall of Pretty Good. The guy has pretty much exceeded expectations his whole career, except for the fact that he seems to have taken a while to adjust to higher levels of competition. Last year he clearly made the...

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    Not sure how much evidence you need. He just had his breakout season. And he appears to have the approach and mindset to keep getting better.

    McAdam: “Full Throttle” may mean business as usual

    Losing out on Yamamoto has now spilled over into "we must pay whatever it takes to land Snell or Montgomery." But DeJesus makes an important point about free agency splashes. I think most of us are old enough to remember Carl Crawford, Hanley and Panda. Even John Lacky and David Price, who...

    9/9 - We Are Going To Lose

    This. And with 2 outs, he should have gotten a great jump. Since when is down 1 in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs the time to play conservatively? Its when you want to see your team go balls to the wall, win or lose. And this. Coras bullpen moves have become Grady-esque.

    '23 AL Playoff Picture

    After the so-called Boston massacre in 1978, the Sox went on to LOSE 5 out of the next 6. We lost 9 out of 10 in Sept, and the season was over. But for the fans younger than 60, something amazing happened. The sox went 8-0 to tie the Skanks on the last day of the season. I don't quite recall...

    IF and WHEN 2 different things, but hey, I'm an optimist. Since last night I'm an angry optimist.

    He should get a full playoff share when the sox sneak in on the last day of the season.
