    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    Repeating that I am in love with Breslow and Bailey and their work, and repeating that they do appear to be better than Bloom was at maximizing pitcher performance. But how can we say that Bello and Pivetta were maxed out? I will give you Houck. No question there. But Bello’s season last year...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    But even by that measure, they did very well under Bloom. Pivetta turned it around after years of disappointment. Whitlock struggled with injuries but had stretches of brilliance. Crawford and, especially, Winckowski, were terrific as rookies. You yourself have argued persuasively that Bello was...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    Gonzalez made it to AA last year at 21, pitching his final 48 innings there. He had a 2.42 ERA, 11.73 k/9, and 1.14 whip. Walks were too high at 5.21/9 but they’re actually a tick higher this year at 5.74. His k/9 this year is even better than last year but his whip is about the same and his ERA...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    This is a good post and I agree with pretty much everything you are saying. Couldn’t be happier to have Breslow and Bailey in the organization! But Bello, Houck, Whitlock, Pivetta, and Crawford were all good/promising pitchers who were putting up encouraging results before Breslow and Bailey...

    Shertenlieb Show? Rich Radio? - mornings on ZLX

    OK, I see where I misunderstood. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify. You are right, of course, that Fred is a beast as the front man.

    Shertenlieb Show? Rich Radio? - mornings on ZLX

    Maybe you’ll be proved right and Rich will crash and burn. But, collectively, I think your comments in the thread significantly underrate his talent and creativity. My guess is he’ll put together a fun and inventive show that will transcend the ZLX format, much as T&R transcended sports talk...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    This guy needs to be kicked out of the league. He clearly has anger management problems.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    This is an honest question: Is it your belief that the announcers and their producers were aware that Beverley had twice whipped the ball at fans, hitting one of them in the face, and having that awareness then said what they said? A second honest question: If the league and its broadcast...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    What does this have to do with the culture of the NBA? Announcers employed by a cable network calling the game missed the horrifying actions that led up to the jawing. The first announcer says might have to get security involved, second announcer says now is not the time to trash talk the Bucks...

    Red Sox hire outside consulting firm to audit organization

    Whaaaaa! The Sox traded Mookie! Whaaaaa! The Sox are cheap and want to cut payroll! Whaaaaa! Everything the Sox do is wrong and stupid and bad! Anyone who bothered to read the article, or did so with an open mind, might conclude that Breslow, likely with the behind the scenes encouragement of...

    Brad Stevens: President of Basketball Ops

    Fortunately, Wyc did.

    Oh.

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I’d totally forgotten Jon Miller had a Boston era! He actually challenges McDonough as top dog. Awesome catch!

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    I think this post is lock-the-thread good. I don’t think there can be any question that McDonough is the best play by play guy to ever call a game in Boston, and, oh mercy, does Ned Martin belong on here. But overall this list nails it. That no one else even mentioned Cornbread Maxwell is really...

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    After reading their Wikipedia entries, I suspect that you might be right. Wyc seems as though he's focusing less on businesses these days outside the Celtics (though he has partnered on a tequila with Michael Jordan!) than Pagliuca is.

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    Is Pagliuca richer than Wyc? I’d never stopped to consider that.

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    Horford plays with evident joy, appears to be beloved by his teammates and coaches, and is an important part of this team’s core. He also chose to sign the specific extension, including the number of years, that he did. I suppose anything is possible but I would be shocked if Al is not with this...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    This is a fair observation. You are correct.

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    It is worth monitoring, I agree. But this thread started with people declaring that he needs to be subsidized and dumped to a small market team and that he cannot/will not earn his contract. The potential reasons for his second-half nosedive have been well documented here (as you acknowledge)...
