    Unusual plays

    Who was it that would intentionally leave his batting gloves hanging out of his back pocket so they could wave goodbye to the first baseman when he was stealing second? It sounds like Rickey, but I don't think it was him.

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Brutal. Is it too early to worry about this lineup? When Raffy goes into one of his yearly extended slumps, runs are going to be really hard to come by.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    Nobody covering second. It's all falling apart.

    May 2024 News and Notes

    Cronenworth is signed to a long deal and has an OPS over .800 this year at first. They're actually decent there this year. Maybe they do have a deal for Kim in the works.

    Is Xander a backup middle infielder in the second year of an 11 year deal?

    Why is offense down in 2024, AKA is the juice(d ball) loose?

    The Red Sox are probably responsible for most of the jump in unearned runs this year. The ball has almost certainly been de-juiced. I wonder if hitters will be able to adapt now that there's a lower success rate in homers per fly ball. Can they go from trying to launch to trying to hit line...

    Unusual plays

    Is there a limit on the size of the oven mitts the runners use to protect their fingers? if you made that thing 3 feet long, imagine how many more bases you could steal.

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    The team has an ERA under 3.00. His framing and game calling are clearly not issues so far.

    The Tommy John Epidemic

    Why? League OPS is currently the lowest in 35 years. If anything the hitters need more help.

    Yoshida to IL

    They said he was "jammed on a pitch" and the hand swelled up. Then the pain and swelling didn't go away like expected.

    Luddite new computer recommendation

    I think the issue you're having is that you're overtaxing your spelling and grammar checkers and they're consuming all your system resources.

    Red Sox hire outside consulting firm to audit organization

    Do teams really have analytic groups of 70+ people now? I remember back in the old days when Theo was first hired it was a big deal that they crammed 10-15 stat guys into the "new" offices that were where the Fenway bowling alley used to be.

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    Especially Alex Cora, who is the moderately more talented version of Zack Short.

    Red Sox acquire Zack Short

    This is probably just to get them over the injury and illness bump for the next few days. I fear his time with the team will be Zack.

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    Why are stolen bases and caught stealing not good enough to capture what you're looking for? Back in the 1880s, tagging up on fly balls and advancing on errors were counted as steals. Taking extra bases is kind of ignored in current stats, and I could see the argument of an "extra bases taken"...
