    The Story remains the same? The progress back from injury

    I couldn't find the old thread and new threads are good. Here's a place to discuss Story's performance after returning from his elbow surgery. A big question has always been how his arm will respond to both a more difficult position and the rigors of post surgery play: View...

    ESPN: How the Gruden email leaks led to Dan Snyder's downfall

    How Dan Snyder was hoist by his own petard This article is bananapants insane. Seriously, it's a must read - there's the suggestion that it was the NFL itself who uncovered/leaked the emails because the league itself wanted Smith to continue as president of the NFLPA. - Al Davis influenced...

    Verdugo 2023

    Spinning this off from another thread. Where does Alex Verdugo fit into the club's plans for 2023? At 26 years old he should be considered to still be in the prime of his career, but what does his prime actually look like? One of the big issues this year for the club was the lack of power from...

    Vazquez' future

    View: https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1443956451119087626?s=20 This got me thinking about what will happen with Vazquez for next year. My gut feeling is that he's not the Sox' starting catcher next season. He's already 31, has a 76 OPS+ this year and has been dreadful on the...

    Openers and no closers: Can the Tampa Bay method work here?

    I want to break out some discussion because this has been on my mind for a very long time and it's worth discussion and getting other viewpoints. The basic question is: Can the "Tampa Bay" method of team-building work elsewhere? The Rays have achieved something incredible over the last 15...

    Richards and Perez to the bullpen

    View: https://twitter.com/alexspeier/status/1425537700074074114?s=20 I actually think Cora might be onto something here. If these guys are able to throw harder in the pen while still being able to go multiple innings that could have a very beneficial effect on the rest of the pitching staff...

    Stanley Cup Final: Dallas Stars vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

    Just the matchup we were all expecting last October. This is simultaneously the most southern SC matchup (in terms of cities represented) and the most northern (in terms of where the games are actually being played). Also the first SC Final featuring two Russian starting goalies.
