    We'll work on this for next season. At this point, I just figured it's best to let things ride for two weeks and implement something more consistent from OD onward in 2025. After doing this for a couple of decades, I've discovered that if you want to change something, the best way to do it is the start of a new season.

    This sentence made my morning.

    Glad to have you back!

    Ooooh, that one is my fault. I read right past that line, should have caught it in editing.

    This is a new development, it's been happening to me as well. Only started in the past week or so, I need to reach out to the ad provider and see if they can do something about it.

    I'm impressed that all of you have been watching this bullpen all season and are still here, talking baseball.

    This is such a fun read! Well done, @Jared Mulholland!

    I think it’s the mediocrity. The same thing is happening on our Cubs site; the Cubs and Sox have had very similar seasons.

    Thanks for all the positive comments! I truly appreciate it. There's always anxiety around a project of this kind. I take community very seriously and I'm always low-key terrified that I'm going to mess up and ruin a two-decade old community.

    Trying a new thing here. The game thread will exist in the Red Sox forum for the day and I will move it to the game thread forum tomorrow morning.

    On the other sites, we carry the latest game thread in the team (Red Sox) forum. The next morning, I move it to the game thread forum and create a new thread in the team (Red Sox) forum. Is this something we want to do here as well? I like having the game thread in the most populous forum because it gets the most eyeballs, then moving it to another forum for later reference.

    I like to check in every so often and get the community’s thoughts on things. We’re two weeks in and we’re about 75% of functionality. Due to the unusual time we launched, things like prospect lists and other features will roll out over the next couple of months. So what are your thoughts? What are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? I’m still on the lookout for a consistent videographer so if you have interest or know someone who does, PM me. Almost all the front page writers so far are very inexperienced but I’m super-impressed with this group. You Sox fans are a passionate, smart bunch of people. We’ve had WAY MORE people signing up to write than any site we’ve launched before now and the content has been impressively good. With that said, in the coming weeks we’re bringing in more experienced writers including someone to handle most of the front page management so I’m freed up to work more on outreach. Please, let me know your thoughts, good and bad.

    To be fair, I literally laughed out loud when the Yankees signed Ellsbury to that contract.

    I think ownership is clearly to blame here. This year, the Sox have the 11th-highest payroll in baseball (per SpoTrac). Two years ago, it was sixth-highest. Five years ago, it was the highest in baseball. Ten years ago, it was fifth-highest. The Sox can't compete directly with the Yankees and Dodgers on spending. That's a reasonable limit. But they should at least be spending at Cubs-level and Giants-level. This is a franchise that dominates New England, which has a population around 15 million people. The attendance always averages over 30,000 per game. There's no excuse for a payroll outside the top ten of baseball.

    The Red Sox should have the budget to keep Rafaela as a fourth outfielder should that become the best position for him in the future. I'm generally in favor of locking up young players into free agency because the dollars required to do so just aren't that large. But for the reasons pointed out in this article, I'm not sure I would have chosen Rafaela as my first target.

    No worries!

    On Talk Sox, we host the game threads in the game thread forum.

    I was only able to watch the second half of last night's game and my takeaway is that Trevor Story looks hopeless with the stick right now.

    I think they have a winner in Breslow. He's an ex-player and even during his playing career, was always known as being one of the brainiacs of the sport. He's also a pitcher who embraces the modern approach. I think he'll be able to do good things in time; the problem is that it takes 4-5 years to see pitching development fully come to fruition.
