The fakest home sellout streak of all time. Scalpers had so many tickets they couldn't unload, but it would still count as a sellout for some games.
Are you blaming COVID or the product on the field for the attendance?
Before the season, we predicted anywhere from 70 to 82 wins. Nobody on here predicted high except in jest. Vegas had them at 77.5 wins.
This team is not underachieving.

Sam Kennedy admits that 2024 Red Sox have ‘under-performed’
No, with the product you allowed to be put on the field, this is where we expected them to be. Ownership always pointing fingers at everyone else.
I wouldn't care about the last part if he just stayed out of the way. He still seems to muck things up from time to time. Maybe Theo will help? Maybe not?
If it wasn't for Machado, Pedroia would have had a much better shot at sticking around on the HOF balloting for a while. Now, he's more Ian Kinsler/Willie Randolph than Ryne Sandberg.
He's not scared, they just know he has foot in mouth disease and try to not have him around as much anymore. Plus, he has a lot of other things going on and the Sox aren't as important anymore.

Will Smith was the focal point of Mookie Betts trade discussions in 2019, but the deal got scuttled when the Red Sox got hot just before the trade deadline.
The Will Smith name was initially brought up by Speier and he's not a guy who just throws s*** at the wall.
Also, aside from 2023, Quantrill has been a fairly decent SP. He's not a TOTR guy, but is a decent 3/4.
Everyone is excited about Jordan Hicks 46th in fWAR at 0.8 fWAR. Quantrill is right behind him at 0.7 fWAR.
Teel is having the best May out of the 3.
Mayer still has a 462 OPS vs LHP, but has spent more time in AA than the other two.
Anthony doesn't have split issues this year, but started off the slowest.
There are clear spots for all 3 guys to take over in WOO so that's not a factor.
Mayer - end of June
Teel - mid July
Anthony - late July
Similar to how Bill Walton thought you could turn an inning ending double play into a triple play and roll the third out into the next inning.

He hoped for a triple play when the White Sox had one out in the bottom of the first. When Benetti informed him that’s not possible, Walton asked, “Well you can carry it over (to the next inning), can’t ya?”
