    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    I like Abreu and his approach too. But that would be a lot of LHH in a row at the top of a lineup if you think Duran should still be here and leading off.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    No, I am not. Please stop twisting my words around for your own pathetic commentary. And maybe actually watch a game.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I totally agree about the stealing, but a lot of that is he hasn't been on first base enough. I wouldn't mind seeing him bunt early in the count to try to get on. And thanks for noticing him as an exciting baseball player and not just being a stathead. I like advanced stats too, but I also...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I know the BA and especially the OBP leave much to be desired to this point. But he is leading the team in RBI, and is 2nd on the team in doubles and triples mostly out of the nine hole a quarter of the way thru the season. That's not nothing. And he is from Latin America playing in a bunch...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I'm not sure is Ceddanne Rafaela is getting nearly the credit he deserves for stabilizing the defense on this team over the last month. With Romy back, it looks like Cora is going to start little Raffy in CF against LH starters and at SS against righties. This gives him the flexibility to move...

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

    I'm mildly surprised Cora didn't find a way to get Dom Smith in the lineup. I know it is a LHP, but he is 3-4 in his career against P Corbin.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Since Rafaela took over the SS job full time, the Red Sox are 9-6 and outscored their opponents 77-34. He has bumped his BA up 40 points in that span. I watch every game. He has settled down the whole defense, and it helps that Duran has quietly played a great CF. You can look at all the...

    5/4 Grissom needs a day off

    Have you never seen Cora manage? Guy coming back from injury, (and illness) day game after a night game...i don't necessarily agree but i am absolutely not surprised.

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    same here. I’m on NESN 360 app on my tv and have no announcers, just ballpark audio… I actually don’t mind it

    Lineup Predictions

    My FanDuel account has MIN -194. I'm about ready to throw something on Sox!

    Lineup Predictions

    Yes, that's correct. I was just guessing at a lineup before it came out. It is so like Cora to ease a guy back in at DH, especially now that we don't have any set one.

    Lineup Predictions

    I was close...Cooper in and Short out and a bit different for bottom three of order. I posted it in today's game thread. I'm pretty sure this is the 33rd different lineup in game # 33, which is pretty unbelievable.

    Lineup Predictions

    Well i think we will finally see Vaughn Grissom tonight. My guess is Cora eases him in by DH-ing him his first game. I'll take a stab at tonight's lineup: Duran CF Devers 3B O'Neill LF Abreu RF Grissom DH Smith 1B McGuire C Rafaela SS Short 2B

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

    Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but….Rafaela is already worth the deal they signed him to. He has totally solidified the infield D with Story going down. That in itself has made this season competitive when it could’ve totally gone of the rails very early. His bat is a work in...

    Red Sox sign Dominic Smith

    I disagree. I think the fact that Valdez can only play 2B will make him the guy who goes down once they activate Grissom. McMillan of the Globe pretty much said the same on pre game show.
