  1. Hey I'm back. Um, did you forget James Paxton? James Paxton, Red Sox reach deal WWW.MLB.COM The Red Sox added a proven starting pitcher who can bolster them for the 2022 stretch run and perhaps beyond, signing lefty James Paxton to a one-year deal that includes a two-year club option for the ‘23 and ’24 seasons. The club did not announce financial terms, but a source

  3. Hi all, I know I haven't been around in a long time. The lockout has really turned me off from baseball. I'm hoping once it ends I can regain my excitement for the sport.
  4. Where did you read that we lost Ottavino? I keep track of https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32644225/mlb-free-agency-tracker-latest-moves-grades-analysis and it's not there.
  5. Heartbroken that E-Rod is gone.
  6. Yes, but he's my favorite Sox player.
  7. I feel like Verlander is this year's equivalent of Corey Kluber. Let's check in and see how Corey did: 5-3, 3.83 ERA, but only 80 innings pitched and 16 starts.
  8. Hey all, my Astros-watching friend just threw in the towel: "Nah it's over. Once the Stros Lost McCullers, there workhorse and experience they were doomed. Injuries to Garcia also bad news. Baker not a fan of and he's never been good at managing a bullpen or lineup. Hopefully this is his last year in Houston and he retires lol. Altuve is now lost, errors killed us or this would have been a completely different series now. The Sox will be celebrating on Wed night. Congrats The Sox aren't even that great but they play well as a team. Other then Devers and Bogarts there's not one other player I would want on my fantasy team lol. Kike is playing out of his ass and he struggled for most of the year. Just got hot at the right time of the year and that's all it takes in the playoffs. Have to say never saw them even getting past the Yankess lol The network always wanted SOX and Dodgers in the world series for ratings... But the Braves may ruin that Wink"
  9. So who is our closer now? It's been all blowouts so we haven't needed one.
  10. My understanding is the velocity was quite good on that pitch. If you are beat for a grand slam on a good pitch above the strike zone, I think you tip your cap. That said, yeah he's probably missing the changeup to keep hitters guessing.
  11. Oh I hadn't heard that line about "rediscovered his best stuff"; that's wonderful news. If Chris can be Chris Freakin' Sale, as Moon puts it, then our rotation looks tough to beat. Sale, then Eovaldi, then Rodriguez, then either Pivetta or Houck. Combine that with our surging offense and we might repeat the 4-1 result.
  12. If this were a movie, there would be a montage of bullpen sessions, throwing at stop signs at night on the street, and having to disarm a robber with a well placed throw of a salt shaker, and then he'd be good to go.
  13. Wait, you are saying that when the Yankees are eliminated, you don't switch to rooting for their sibling team the Red Sox?
  14. As is, I think we have a chance. If Sale suddenly becomes dominant, I think we move to favorites.
  15. Honestly not thinking about next year at all, but there's too many variables to consider at this point if I were. Do they resign E-Rod and Schwarber? Does Chris Sale regain his command? Do any of our hitters exercise their opt-outs? Do we make a big free agent splash, like a closer? Do we retain Iglesias somehow (always liked him)?
