    The next OC?

    Josh McDaniels has almost certainly made more money from his two head coaching contracts AFTER being fired than he made actually coaching! And then the OC contract money was just double dipping. Josh will get $10 million a year from LV for the next 4 years.

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    Keep in mind that the $10 million annual deferred payments due in the late 2050s and early 2060s may be nothing more than the MLB minimum!

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    People probably don't want to hear this, but I suspect that when the light of day is put on the details of this contract, it will represent what the Dodgers were willing to risk in AAV without being able to get contract insurance. Or if they were able to get partial insurance, it will be...

    Someone has to take the hit. Opie Steps up vs Giants

    Remaining games...Chargers, Chiefs, Bills, Steelers, Jets and Broncos.... this will likely end at 2-15. I suppose they have a chance at beating the Chargers and the Jets. Both are at Gillette , not that it matters much. The other 4 teams are much better and playing for something. The Patriots...

    Nadir

    My nadir far and away was also game 6 in 1986. The Red Sox were mere moments away from winning the championship.. We were practically celebrating the win as it slowly unraveled and finally slipped away. It's hard to remember that there was still a game 7 to go through!

    MLB playoffs suck (at picking the best team)

    Why are every.everyone's knickers in a twist about best of 3 or best of 5 series when the NCAA basketball and the NFL are a series of one game eliminations? Does it make a difference if the Dodgers lost in 5 instead of swept in 3?

    2023 LDS Game/Discussion Thread

    So if this round was a 7 game series, the Orioles would be down 0-3 right now. While we all know that's possible to overcome, it sure wouldn't be likely!

    As a Red Sox fan, I had to find things to root for. So I decided that I would like to see a WS between Torey Lovullo and Rocco Baldelli. So far, so good.

    The NFL and NCAA playoffs are all single game elimination affairs. You have to draw the line somewhere.

    Offseason rumors

    At the risk of being overly repetitive, the size of an Ohtani contract will, for most teams, depend on the ability to get reasonable contract insurance. I believe the Red Sox are a team that regularly insures larger contracts. With all the metrics we have in baseball these days, do we have a...

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    The landscape really depends on where Yamamoto ends up. If he ends up wearing a Red Sox uniform, then one more starter out of the Snell/ERod/Seth Lugo group gives us a pretty good rotation on paper regardless of which of the current group remains in the rotation.

    Has "Framing" Pitches by the Catcher Gotten Ridiculous?

    Many umpires have a hard enough time calling balls and strikes accurately. Is it just me, or has the tactic of catchers framing pitches gotten out of control? They even seem to frame pitches that were already perfect strikes. Not that it would be easy to police, but why is framing pitches even...
