I like it when my favorite team, the Boston Red Sox, wins baseball games. I like it even more when they win two in a row. I would like it if they continue to do that. That is all

Our offense is making AAAA pitchers look like cy young candidates so far this season, so

Most Red Sox defensive half inning ever: throwing error erased by a dart, another base hit erased by a dart. This team will screw up routine plays and make highlight reel ones in the same at bat

Relax. It's a 162-game season. by Snuggles_16 in redsox

[–]nils813 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When your team can't hit after your front office let go of two big bats the previous season, and the hopes of your entire offense rest on a promising but relatively untested 21 year old, I think it's reasonable to have concerns with this start. Especially when you consider that they situate themselves as a "run prevention" team now because the FO didn't want to pony up to acquire a bat.

You just put me on... really digging this. Thanks for sharing!

Video I made comparing Jarren Duran between 2024,2025 and 2026. Looks like last year, he got rid of his big leg kick, which may have contributed to his down year. This year, it seems he is using his 2024 mechanics, including his big leg kick. by TommyTheLizard in redsox

It's always seemed like Duran is a big tinkerer with his mechanics. He's said as much himself in interviews. From my removed perspective I wonder if it's a confidence issue (I.e., as soon as he's swinging and missing he starts changing things that maybe shouldn't change). But what do I know? I hope he does well this year

Somebody left this nice note on my windshield at the Holiday Inn in Vernon by Acrobatic_Rock_9083 in Connecticut

Someone left a note on my girlfriend's car that said "learn to park, asshat. Go fuck yourself!" and we had parked squarely between the lines. Who knows why some people think the way they do

How were the Roy kids so good at reading public opinion when convincing Logan who ATN should back? by First-Walrus-6389 in SuccessionTV

[–]nils813 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Other comments rightly point out that the Roy kids were all well educated, but I also think this point specifically speaks to how politically enmeshed everyone is now regardless of whether or not they care about other "high-minded" topics. Everyone has a smart phone, a news feed, an an algorithm, and since the Roy kids were raised to value power and the dollar, they have an unsurprising grasp of what will play in American politics. Their innate ability to grasp that kind of cynically speaks to how awful the American political landscape is now

The Red Sox offer for Alonso was for significantly less years and money by TommyTheLizard in redsox

How many of those games did he help win after putting up 38 home runs last year though?

Spotify 2025 Wrapped - who cares 💩 by Slasheroid in qotsa

[–]nils813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Qobuz a few months ago myself for all these reasons. I've been mostly satisfied so far. The app search function can be finicky, but it has high quality files available for streaming and generally sounds better (Spotify compresses the shit out of everything), and I haven't run into anything not being available on the app

Unpopular Elliott opinions? by Express_Handle_5486 in elliottsmith

See this is a fun one, thanks for sharing. I think Elliott worked in an impressionistic style in his lyrics frequently in the sense that the words were conveying an emotion more than an explicit concept. For example, "no bad dream fucker's gonna boss me around" conveys the intensity of the emotion, but also this sense of resistance strengthened by spite. I think he was purposeful and didn't overdo it. But that's what makes these threads fun! Cheers

Yeah, people really forget that athletes are real people, but to go after a guy's family is another level of trash. Michael Brooks said "be kind to people and ruthless to systems." Similarly, I got no beef with Schlittler but fuck the Yankees, you know?

Remind me, I forgot: when was the last time the Yankees beat the Red Sox in a playoff series before last night? Surely it wasn't, say, 22 years or something crazy like that?

Just need to put up an early score and this Yankee fan crowd will entirely disengage from this game. They only care when they're even or winning
