  1. As part of the inquiry, baseball investigators have interviewed the Red Sox team trainers and outfielder Chris Young, a former Yankees player. The Red Sox told league investigators that the team’s manager, John Farrell, general manager, Dave Dombrowski, and other front-office officials were not aware of the sign-stealing operation, the people said.
  2. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/sports/baseball/boston-red-sox-stealing-signs-yankees.html?smid=tw-share The Red Sox have apparently added a modern — and illicit — twist: They used an Apple Watch to gain an advantage against the Yankees and other teams.
  3. Better late than never.
  4. They could easily make room for Brentz. They just don't want to.
  5. This place isn't a hivemind. There are all sorts of people with all sorts of opinions. Farrell is going to get roasted for everything he does whether it's right or wrong.
  6. Farrell: 13 - WS 14 - last damn place 15 - last damn place 16 - 0 for ALDS 17 - ? If they can't even show up to the ALDS this year, why would he stay around? Francona was fired after not making the WS for 4 straight years. Is it Farrell's turn now?
  7. Núñez 3B, Pedroia 2B, Benintendi LF, Betts RF, Ramirez DH, Moreland 1B, Bogaerts SS, Vázquez C, Bradley CF, Rodriguez
  8. I'm hoping it's just a rough patch. Hard to really call it an implosion until a lot of behind the scenes stuff gets leaked. They have a lead in the division and an ok schedule. They should be able to win the division.
  9. Rodriguez vs Estrada. I doubt I have any mojo left after my recent winning streak, but let's give it a shot, eh.
  10. By "it" you mean "beer", right?
  11. No. He sucked then too.
  12. https://nesn.com/2011/08/morgans-magic-leads-1988-red-sox-to-surprising-playoff-birth/
  13. What he needs to do is save his money because he's going to be out of baseball sooner than later. He's made over $4M so far. Hope he still has a big chunk of it.
  14. If we were a .500 team this year, this board would be deader than dead and the posts that would be on here would be wretched.
  15. For real. There are some really terrible opinions being expressed on here. It'd be like saying "well, MVP knows much more about advanced stats because he's a boy who played baseball and has a CPA, Kimmi is just a teacher." That's just dumb and offensive to me. Sorry that you have to deal with nonsense like this from time to time.
  16. Put the pipe down, son!
  17. Not with that attitude he can't!
  18. Yup, he's the guy I wanted last year whenever I was questioned about my Fire Farrell stance.
  19. Since he's a FA after this season, it makes no sense to suffer through a year long drought just because you like a guy.
  20. Ok, so don't hire Valentine again? Find someone who is actually competent and not all about personal branding? I highly doubt Disarcina rubs people the wrong way like Valentine did.
  21. If they go 0-3 again in the ALDS this year, he's definitely gone. I'll take a sig bet on that from anyone.
  22. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=5409&position=3B&type=&gds=2017-08-26&gde=2017-09-04&season= He's on an epic tear right now! Put up an SOS for all belt buckles in the SF area. I do like that he's doing WORSE in SF than he was already doing in BOS.
  23. I beat up on FO for being a little slow on promoting Devers, but I could at least talk myself into it. With Brentz, it just makes zero sense here. There's too much upside. Even if he just wins one extra game with a pinch hit, it's worth it to get rid of a AAAA reliever wasted on the 40 man roster. I hope Brentz gets a real chance somewhere next year (I wish it was in BOS, but don't think it will be).
  24. trolls gonna troll
  25. On the last SoxProspects podcast, they noted how Barfield's HR total is indicative of him just being able to wait for bad pitches and that he'd never see the same flat sliders or poorly located offspeed stuff in MLB.
