    Yoshinobu Yamamoto signs with Dodgers for 12 years, 325M

    First time this century that the Dodgers scored 11 and lost. He mentioned after the game that he had an issue executing from the stretch. He only threw one pitch from the wind up to start his night. I guess in Japan he never gave up baserunners. Something to work on.

    2023 Offseason MLB News/Rumors Thread

    Monaco filled in on a few White Sox games this year and I was concerned we might lose him. This would be a bad start to the off season. Much prefer him to DOB.

    Spring Training 2023 Thread

    I’m heading to Ft Myers in a couple days to visit family. Wondering if we can catch some extended ST action or games at or around the JetBlue complex. Will be my first time there though I played in tournaments at the old Sox complex. Any advice/insight appreciated.

    Greatest RH hitter in MLB history

    Mays and Aaron, tied. They are incredibly close as hitters. Hank had (barely) more power and Willie had just a bit more on base skill. OPS+ of 155 for each. Without missing almost 2 war years Mays is probably right around Ruth in HRs. He hit over 40 and was MVP his first year back from...

    Following Former Red Sox 2022 Edition

    Heath Hembree was called up by the Dodgers yesterday and pitched an inning (2 h, 0 r) vs the Mets and got credited with the win. Vasquez is no Reese McGuire but he’s still hitting. Batting .340 for the Astors.

    I just want him to pull a real miracle and hit a triple. He has zero in the last 8 years and 1 since 2011.

    Red Sox in season discussion

    Yes, it’s highlighting the amazing year by Judge but also a severe power outage from two of the top Sox power hitters. Last year JD and X combined for 53 HRs. Since 2019, X has hit 27 HR per 162 games. It’s not an insignificant part of the Sox mediocrity this year.

    Red Sox in season discussion

    Xander and JD combined have 18 HRs. If we double that total, Aaron Judge is still 7 ahead. X and JD combined have 8 fewer rbi than Judge (97). Even adding Devers’ HRs to the 18 from X and JD, Judge is still ahead by 1. . X does have 1 more hit than Judge.

    When he blew the save vs the Dodgers the other night I noticed him take a quick break on the side of the mound. I thought something seemed off. I wonder if he was feeling it right there.

    Over 19 minutes. That’s how long the top of the 7th took as the Phillies batted in DC today. What happened? Nothing. Three walks followed by three K’s. Could have been worse. The three walks only took 12 pitches. Phils have won 13 of 15.
