    Yoshida might want to start learning a knuckleball?

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    I think this is all anyone is saying just from a different angle. Both those guys, and Bello, don’t have enough track record to say they will regress to “who they are”. As it’s too soon to say either way, it’s also too soon to say they NEED to go outside and sign or trade for a proven ace. For...

    I'm thinking acne.

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    Also.... while it's true that his value MAY never be higher, it's also true that it MAY actually get even higher and that value is most valuable to the Red Sox. Hitters as good as Casas already is (and I think he's got at least 8-10 more good to great seasons in him) are pretty rare to find...

    Pittsburgh 4/19, On the Road Again

    Definitely need to fight the yip! Correct those and this team is 13-7?

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    This would surprise me. He's been pretty damn good at the plate this season so far (SSS) and I think he's a better defender than the numbers give him credit- and I can't think of a defensive position that rating it by any measure other than holding runners/throwing out is anything other than...

    I’m also curious about Mikey Romero and Zanatello’s futures.

    Thanks. Yeah guessing he’s at least 2 weeks away

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    I don't think that the past performances of any of Bello, Crawford or Houck are indicative of where they will eventually land this season. Their MLB track record is too thin or too interupted by freak injuries for any accurate predictions. Pitchers (or any player) can improve (or regress...

    I keep scrolling through your stuff to find info on Grissom. Am I just missing it? Has he been playing yet?

    SS possibilities going forward

    The calls for Rafaela to be brought up last summer are by these same people who now think he should be sent back down.

    To err is human; three errors is the Red Sox: the defense thread.

    So get rid of Hamilton and we’ve got Aaron Burr! Cool! seriously though it’s crazy to see how important an anchor- and in this case- the most important defensive position on the field- being lost sets the ship adrift. When is Grissom back? Will he even help? The team on paper is better than...

    Tanner Houck 2024

    Saw this game there. Won free tickets, good seats too! Man I thought they finally added the missing piece to the team that year and they were going to win it all!

    4/18 vs Guardians

    Did John Henry jump up of his seat and yell "WINNING!!!!"? I just always worry about how much money he's making.

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    I was discussing this in another thread... but I think the Sox will be lingering just outside of playoff contention this season into July and they'll be put into another similar situation like in '22 and '23 at the deadline. Agree or not, Bloom decided that either the returns weren't good on...

    Tanner Houck 2024

    And to think… I wanted him as the closer

    4/18 vs Guardians

    What a beautiful game by Houck! THAT… in today’s game is how to pitch! Despite that gem….I still don’t believe anymore. My stupid optimism I had up until Grady’s Day (and returned from October’24 for almost 20 full years) has been replaced by the feeling that nothing will go right. Every...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    I was the same- 6’2 freshman 140 lbs of pure muscle. The coach did put me on a crazy diet with protein shakes, high fat, high carb…. Did nothing. Can’t beat your insane metabolism at that age. I was an incredibly good hitting good defensively at either corner. My max baseball potential ended...

    4/17 vs Guardians

    Definitely has talent.... maybe not for professional major league baseball though? Seriously though, after his '21 season I thought they could reasonably expect a good player to rotate across 1B, 3B and DH to hit around .775 with 30HR's (and still a horrifying amount of K's). I wasn't expecting...
