    April 7. End of the West Coast Trip.

    This is the most bewildering thought: these ill-fitting Sox, mocked by disbelievers for more than four months, were a couple of routine defensive plays and a couple of cheap runs away from 10-0. Their Moxie would please Ted.

    4.6 - Angels in the Outfield

    Sure, if they average 4+ IP all year. But it’s the second time through. Some efficiency and longevity gains can be expected. Can’t argue with the results so far.

    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    I think the entire point is that Cora knew he was dealing without his closer and did nothing to adjust before the fact: e.g. let your cruising relievers go an extra batter or two. He’s dogmatic to a fault.

    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    Very hard to argue with any of this. How fans can cogently lay out an ideal strategy and it not occur to a Major League manager is baffling to me. Cora almost couldn’t have helped them lose any more.

    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    If you know Jansen isn’t pitching, why not ride Campbell until he gives up a hit? 14 pitches, 9 strikes, no threats. Cora walked the team off a cliff.

    3/28/24 - Opening Day 2024 - Red Sox at Mariners

    So the new hip-wiggle celebration bench shout-out is what, a bear mauling? They’re calling it a swim move but I don’t think that’s right. Wong’s needs work, whatever it is.

    NESN graphic about O’Neill’s numbers with the bases loaded, with runners on the corners.

    2024 Spring Training Stuff

    I think it’s pretty self-evident if you spend any amount of time in both places. The spring training thread is still full of good content. But roughly a dozen posters turn every other conversation into a shit fling at ownership or an ad hominem attack. This used to be the place to escape Chicken...

    The sane forum, some would say. The feeling I get from browsing here versus browsing there, it’s dopamine versus poison.
