  1. Specifically how Lynn and Rice played as rookies in ‘75. And not, you know, how they play today, pushing 75…
  2. Montgomery. I agree with the small crowd on the Internet that thinks Snell looks like Sid from Ice Age, and it’s just too distracting…
  3. So you think Bello isn’t the opening day starter right now?
  4. And our numbers will grow with every free agent who signs elsewhere. Two today. But when Stroman signs, there will be four of us. 8 when Clevinger signs elsewhere. By the time you find yourself willing to forgive Trevor Bauer or Julio Urias, the number of Cabreraphiles will have squared itself!! And there’s nothing you can do to stop us!!! (Is there a maniacal laugh emoji?)
  5. No red for number 7?
  6. Swihart wasn’t a very good catcher. Turns out, he was a worse OF. Holt never played 70 games in the OF in a season, and he played everywhere for Boston except pitcher and catcher. It’s misleading to say he was converted to outfield…
  7. I think Grissom gets a chance right away, simply because there is no other appeasing option. I can see it as a win for both teams. A healthy Sale is a massive loss, but we haven’t seen a healthy Sale since 2018. Atlanta had no place to play Grissom, but was willing to gamble on a SP they hope can pitch this year…
  8. And there was no need at 2b, which is why Betts was moved. If the Sox didn’t have Pedroia, they very likely never move Betts to the outfield…
  9. And ERA only came about because wins was not a good way to evaluate relief pitchers…
  10. Well, actually it looked like a combination of two things. 1. Pedroia did have the 2b job locked up. 2. Bradley was struggling mightily as a hitter. They moved him where they needed help. Pedroia was the primary reason they didn’t need help at 2b. Brock Holt doesn’t belong in the conversation of players moved to the OF. He was a utility player who bounced around and never played 70 games in the OF in a season…
  11. You calling him fat!?! Real mature…
  12. Technically they don’t have a long term contract at SS. They just didn’t like Grissom there…
  13. Who cares? He probably can’t pitch either, but it doesn’t matter since the Sox won’t be using him there…
  14. Until Renfroe…
  15. I meant money. But time is apparently equal to money…
  16. I don’t think they are willing to spend, at least not as much as fans want. Henry wanted Rays-level efficiency. Bloom didn’t deliver. Next up - Breslow. But at no point d did the Sox say anything about going back to being a large market. Kia Sedona’s have full throttle,too…
  17. That’s because Bloom actually made moves. They may have been unpopular, but he did make them…
  18. It’s always fun when the guy who reignites the chat calls for the discussion to stop…
  19. You don’t think maybe only having 80 plate appearances was a factor?
  20. Hopefully Duvall isn’t out the Sox range this year…
  21. Henry could have ordered Dombrowski to trade Betts and then fired him for doing so…
  22. For what? We’d still need a 2b (which would take $10-12mill.) And on its own, that $17mill gets what? Another question mark like Giolito? (Technically it wasn’t enough to get another Giolito.)
  23. Also, “one of the worst pitchers in history” feels a tad melodramatic…
  24. But… but… but… the object of the game is to win…
  25. Yes. Kluber only pitched 55 IP. I expect more from Giolito…
