It’s time to play ball, but in some brand-new, swagged-out uniforms. The world-famous Fenway Park: Home of our beloved Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox’s famously known ballpark has been the Red Sox home for baseball for the last 113 years, that’s over a century, which is crazy to think ab
The Red Sox's season has concluded, but do you need your next baseball fix over the long winter?
Fans who follow the Red Sox know the thrill of building a team from the ground up — from scouting promising talent to developing all-stars. But what if you could experience that same excitement firsthand, managing every detail of your own franchise? That’s where Franchise Ball steps up to the plate. It’s a free online baseball simulation game that lets you become the general manager of your own
1. Create Your Blog
When you click the Blogs section on the top menu, you'll be taken to a list of most the most recent entries from our community. At the top of this feed you'll see the "Create a Blog" button. Click it and you'll be asked to enter a few high-level details: the title of your blog within the site (i.e., "John's Red Sox Blog" or something more clever/creative), a brief description, and the category it will belong to (if you're not sure, just pick "General").
To hop on over
Every offseason, we offer our You’re The GM! tool (formerly the Payroll Blueprint) to build your ideal Red Sox roster. This year, we’ve updated and streamlined the tool a bit to improve the experience.
The idea behind this feature is to give fans a chance to play the role of General Manager (or CBO or PoBO… you get the idea) for their favorite team, the Boston Red Sox. It’s meant to give fans the opportunity to discuss (and, let’s be honest, argue) how they would approach the long, dark MLB
As opposed to the previous default state of the site, you may want to set a custom feed as your Talk Sox landing page. It's that useful. Instead of having to click through the (kinda insanely large now) site, you can tailor a feed to show basically whatever you want: select authors, topics you've followed, fellow users, unread content only... the list goes on.
First, to find your personal feed, near the top right of the screen you will see a newspaper icon in the red bar below your user inf
Talk Sox Tips & Tricks, Part One: Tables! With this series of blog entries, I'm going to try to cover some of the features of the new site in a few paragraphs. Using the old site, as I'm sure many of you are aware, tables were basically unusable. That has changed! I'll tackle B-Ref tables quickly in this post but you can do similar things with FanGraphs or other sites that use table data (which is how almost all stat sites display their content). First, pop on over to Rafael Dever''s B-Ref p
Brock, I think when healthy Contreras is a good add. Based on his history in the game, even at DH and 1B his body is subject to historical levels of wear and tear, so I put his GP over/under at 108 since 135 seemed like a career year. I believe we bought high. We have to hope 2/3 of a player can be back filled by Casas, Yoshida and Abreu the lefty platoon player.
We are not ready to win the playoffs - We should get in but we can't win with the current lineup. We have a DH with little power hitting 227 and a replacement first baseman hitting 219. (Yoshida/Lowe). We scored 4 runs in 2 games against good pitching - Just like you will see against playoff teams. I like our young pitching but we must get replacements for the 2 mentioned hitters thru free agency or trade to contend. Don't see a solution in our farm system. Those two spots need to hit with power.
