    Jojo was a man who thought he was a Red Sox, but he knew it couldn't last.

    Maybe the overall record at this point was expected by many Red Sox fans and media before the season began, but let's not pretend certain factors to get here weren't a total surprise. The Sox are on about an 86-win pace. If you knew preseason that the starting rotation would get basically nothing from Crochet, Bello and the departed Giolito, would you still expect that? Maybe, with Gray and Suarez aboard, and progress from the young guys. Still, that means every new thing had to go right... right? And what if I told you that in the greatest month of the history of the franchise, one of the back-up infielders in the Durbin trade would be the primary shortstop and lead the team in batting average?

    Let's go, Boston Red Herrings! (cheer the fans who play for the Pickled Herrings).

    That's a really long post of data lauding the arrival of Rafaela to MLB stardom. Meanwhile, back at bb-ref, a quick click shows Ceddanne second only to McConigle in the AL in overall WAR -- 5.6 to 5.2 -- even better than Yordan Alvarez, Bobby Witt Jr and Junior Caminero. Rafaela is also tied for the best dWAR and most doubles in the league... ... and in this day and age, Ceddanne is also in the Top 10 race for the coveted batting crown, currently tied with Contreras at .288 (be still, Yaz).

    It was Schlitz -- until they sold it, cut corners on ingredients and ruined the taste.

    This is the theme to the Red Sox season and actually for the forum this summer. Therefore, everyone that bickers about past debates should lighten up, and anyone who makes suggestions -- however some deem outlandish -- for trades or improvements should be welcomed and hailed. I have noticed that even posters who once thrived on disparaging or refuting-with-stats other opinions have mellowed. The reason, the 2026 Red Sox have amply amped, is so simple: Nobody knows nothing, so everyone knows everything.

    Damn ticks. I don't even eat red meat anymore.

    Sam Kennedy denied those were stitches. He officially called them minor railroad track scratches that should clear up in a few days with Aquaphor.

    Hear him talk, see him in specs, he's a normal humble guy. Then he dives to stop a ball 20 feet away and hits nasty pitches really far and you realize the Red Sox have an elite professional ballplayer they should unleash on the world every night. When we think back on the winningest month in Sox history it's a marvel reflecting on the Drohan trade. Sure, the Brewers got 2/5ths of a rotation for the cough, NL Central... but Boston got 3/4ths of a new, young and exciting starting infield... at least for one month.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    My first thought was who would get more starts on the mound down the stretch: Scherzer or Springer. If it's Max, then how many times would he have to allow umps to inspect his hands, glove and cap before he strains a wrist and has to miss time, before the Sox put him on the 800-day IL for an amputated fingernail?
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I don't think they give you a choice -- all their beers come in tiny cans like Snack Pack Pudding, and there's no coozies since they're too small to get warm before empty. The game isn't relaxing because it's not even taxing, so everybody is already relaxed when they begin. To make sure, they remind you it's better if your liver is pickled before you start.

    You forgot one step -- which is all players need when they play it: miniature tennis, which uses ping pong paddles and whiffle balls. But I think it was invented for Americans who don't want to or can't move very far or fast, so if Roman doesn't have a leg issue, he can skip it... ... though if he stays on the IL long enough, the Sox are confident he can develop a new leg injury like Casas or Crawford.
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Golfing won't get him ready. The ball isn't even moving... shhhhhhhhhhh.

    This is the great hope for a Hunter Goodman deal -- Career Home Runs: 38 Home, 38 Away.
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Part of the reason LA is a homer haven is that the Dodgers have home run hitters -- 6 guys with 12 or more, compared to 3 for Boston. But then the Red Frauds are suddenly the antithesis of the modern 3 True Outcome Offense: last in the league in longballs, second to last in bases on balls, but get this, Hunter Goodman fans... only 3 AL teams have less strikeouts! We need more bunts and hit by pitches; inhumane sacrifices to exercise extra-inning ghosts -- keep running Sox, counter-clockwise to all that's sacred... or is that scared... sacredodgerbleu!
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Duran would have been out if he tried to score on his own pop-up. Unless he was the outfielder throwing the ball to the plate.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    .851 Mead- OWWWWW!!!!! Dang yo.
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Then he's not even a volleyball in Tom Hanks' movies.
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I've already said I won't trade Arias for Goodman. But I will give up multiple good pitching prospects, which a team that plays half its games at Coors Field can never have enough of.
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Maybe by then Arias will be the next Witt. Or Lindor. Or Mayer...
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Cards have good catching prospects, so maybe Brez can entice Bloom with more pitching prospects for Ivan Herrera. An NL All-Star though not a great catcher... but one more Contreras type bat for Fenway is just what we need.
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    At least she didn't include that third round high school power hitter...
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Jen McCaffrey, respected Red Sox reporter for the Athletic, offers this trade proposal for Bobby Witt: Arias and Eyanson... AND Anthony... AND Tolle. Holy moldy. How do you like them bad apples.
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Or just pulls pop-ups in the Bronx.
