I really need to find better things to do with my time. https://talksox.com/your-daily-dick-pic/

Marco!

Welcome to Talk Sox!

I doubt even Edwin Jackson can name all the teams Edwin Jackson played for.

This is a game we play on the other sites and I wanted to bring it over here. Guess the player, the unobscured image will be released in three days or so.

I love it when projections do weird-ass stuff like that.

I moved the game thread to the Sox forum so more people will participate. There's a redirect link in the game thread forum so everyone can find where the thread has been moved.

I agree that baseball today is less fun to watch than it was 40 years ago. But technology or not, the pursuit of optimization is going to happen. Technology just accelerates that pursuit. The onus falls onto MLB to be the steward of the sport and change rules as front offices "optimize" the sport in unhealthy ways. And until very recently, MLB hadn't done a damned thing to slow down the rapidly-accelerating use of technology to homogenize the game. And that's on them.

Oh, I'm 100% okay with others starting game threads, I truly do not need to do it. My only real concern is the following: 1. They be started in the Red Sox forum 2. They be started as early in the day as possible As for the rest of it, I'm open to whatever people like/want.

Looks like the Fenway Sports Group AI bot finally found the forum. 😂

To me, this is the biggest reason why if you think a top prospect is anywhere close to ready, you put him on the OD roster. I'm surprised by how many teams ignore these new incentives.

I didn't say his weirdness is a bad thing!

I generally feel aggressive promotions are a good thing. But I'm just not sure about Campbell. He's just so... weird... and runs such high BABIPs that I think I want to see more of him in AAA, facing annoying 28-year-olds who pitch more than throw. On the other hand, it's far more interesting if he's on the OD roster.

Oh yeah, I'm of the opinion that the Sox should at least consider playing Bregman at second base. If Raffy wasn't so bad at third, Bregman at second would be an easy decision.

The infield situation is only messy until Trevor Story loses a leg in a freak golf cart accident some time in mid-March.

In a shocking turn of events literally no one saw coming, your Opening Day third baseman is

Yeah, everybody took the last few months to get their feet under themselves and develop a style. As the season progresses, I think we'll maintain a more regular schedule.

It's not a Bregman thread, it's a podcast that talks about recent Sox news, including Bregman. Lots of topics are discussed on the pod.

Good idea.

Thank you and welcome to Talk Sox!

Welcome to Talk Sox!

It's time to start thinking about the actual season, which is exciting. I wanted to get opinions on game threads. How they're managed is up to the community, we do it all sorts of different ways on different sites. I have a few requirements but they're not really all that important from the end user side of things: 1. Game threads will go in the Red Sox forum. The following morning, I will move yesterday's game thread to the archive forum (where it can still be viewed and posted in) to avoid cluttering the Sox forum with a dozen game threads no longer relevant. 2. We need them posted in the morning so I can do some prep work around promoting them during game time. Nothing too insane, just up by 11am eastern or so. With that said, do you all want me to just create the thread every morning? Or do you all prefer to have a rotating cast of people who create the thread and add their own flavor to that day's thread? I know in the past you had people start threads themselves to give a bit of flavor to each day's thread, if you all want to keep that going, say so here.

My only response to this is
