    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    He’ll be busting his belt like Pablo Sandoval by August at this rate!

    Even if Sale wins the Cy Young Award, I don’t think you can call this trade a heist without knowing what Grissom is going to do between now and… what, 2028 or 2029?

    I hate the phantom runner so much. a) a ground out followed by a flyball plates the go-ahead run and b) I have zero faith in the Red Sox bringing that runner home regardless.

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    I know we're dealing with an absurdly small sample size with Grissom right now; but another way to look at his season... He's currently got a .185 BABIP (5 for 27), which is incredibly bad luck. Steamer and Zips had him projected for a .319/.320 BABIP. If he had that BABIP while keeping the...

    vs. Rays 5/13

    Plummeting Ticket Prices

    I'm sure a lot of it is just me getting older - but there was once a time that becoming a Red Sox season ticket holder was atop my bucket list. I thought that if I ever won the Powerball, I'd get season tickets right by the Red Sox dugout, and living within walking distance from Fenway. Now...

    10th of May, 2024- Someone starts a damn gamethread

    5/5 Cinco de Mayo por las Medias Rojas

    It's going to be extra infuriating this year when the Yankees sweep the Twins out of the playoffs. I think Minnesota is my fourth least favorite franchise, behind 1: MFY and a tie for 2: TB/BAL...

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Rafaela has 22 hits and 17 RBI. I wonder if he has the best RBI/H ratio in the majors among regular players.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    If we had any of those guys, their arms would come flying off - and not only injure the pitcher, but also strike Wong and McGuire in the trachea. Or the larynx. Not sure which. Somewhere in the throat.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    I had the same reaction to Houck in the 7th there as I did with Pedro in the 8th of Game 7. With a lot lower stakes, obviously. Same "what the fuck is he doing?" thought process though.
