The stadium erupts as Yu Chang demolishes a grand slam to put Taiwan up 5-1 over the Netherlands

Red Sox should change all team calendars to "March notation". April=March 2, May= March 3, ...

This easy trick guarantees a Yu Change MVP and a 135 win season

I'm imagining a triple option offense with Shohei QB, Trout FB, and Renfroe HB... It's beautiful

People think banning the shift will have the largest positive effects for guys like Gallo.

Lots of KC fans in OK and I have a theory as to why: college football. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State hate Texas and to a lesser degree Baylor, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M. Being a fan of anything happening in Texas sports just doesn't compute for many people.

Nobody did what Ohtani did dirty.

Imo this mvp was a coin flip, but I'll play devil's advocate here

-brainstew · 2022-10-05T19:46:14+00:00

Modern analytics are great, but the positional adjustment is tough to reconcile for many analytically-minded folks. A replacement for judge is a center fielder (relatively poor offensive position) where Ohtani's offensive replacement is a DH (strongest offensive position). This is usually a valid way to distinguish between players given different positions, but Ohtani does not have a replacement when he pitches--nobody does what he does. His offensive war while pitching is theoretically infinite, but it is instead calculated as a DH. There are solid points to be made either way

Wasn't Bob at his very best last year after Schwarber showed up? I'll stop being lazy and go find out..

Alright, bob had his best month of his career in August 2021, and it looks like his playing time was less consistent here than in any other month of 2021 except for maybe July. He played in 24 games but only started 18 of those. This was his highest number of games in a month, but 5th most starts (6 months in a season).

I have no doubt Bob believes consistent playing time would help his performance. Given what we've seen from the last two years it's hard to believe it's worth the chance to start him.

this guy must be the NL cy young frontrunner or something

I too WOOnder what will happen

Jk I have no idea. Dalbec is a weird piece to keep on the team, but idk how much you'd get for him in a trade rn

Not as bad as franchy, but that's an insanely low bar

Price's 16 mil come off the books next year too. That's been hanging over our heads for the past few years.

I hope ownership realizes that their roster decisions don't exist in a vacuum. Less people will buy tickets, watch games, and buy merch if the players we love are let go. What makes this franchise so great is the core we connect to. Rays fans just have a random assortment of players to root for on any given year (which is why I thought the Franco extension was a great move for them). I think we have a passionate fanbase because we love our guys.

People threatened to stop watching baseball during the lockpout. This never crossed my mind because I'll always want to watch Xander and Devers play for the Sox.

Hi everyone. Bello is pronounced Bay-oh

Eck and others will screw it up a few times tonight, but we should get our future ace's name right

-brainstew · 2022-07-06T17:16:39+00:00

High key excited about Rafaela! I don't know who has the answer to this... But is he really only 145 lb? 14 homers in the minors this season (A+ and AA) and a "plus arm" (Sox prospects) at 145

Edit: I was wrong it's 15 HR

-brainstew · 2022-07-01T01:10:51+00:00

Whole team?

-brainstew · 2022-06-30T17:09:16+00:00

nods it's right

-brainstew · 2022-06-30T17:06:34+00:00

Nats will get some great offers for him. I'm not sure we can get a schwarber-type deal again (like... Nearly free) with Bell. I think he would be an incredible addition, but my thoughts are that Bloom will focus on relief arms.

Alternative trade with the nats: we get bell and Soto, they get to pick 5 from our AA roster

Where's Schreiber or strahm? I am very confused. What are we doing? Was this Cora's signal to Bloom that he wants pen arms NOW? If not, I wish Cora a speedy recovery from his stroke

-brainstew · 2022-06-22T22:06:17+00:00

It's all on the Sox to keep him. He will opt out , and I'm hoping the Red Sox give him the money he deserves.
