It's double-header day! Can the Red Sox take both from the Guardians?

I'd say it's about time for Tanner Houck to get his butt in gear this season. No better time than right now.

This is going to be a very fun pitching matchup. Let's get the series W here!

If you can believe it, the Red Sox are 0.5 games out of first place in the AL East. All that stands between them and the top spot is John Emerson Hancock and the Mariners.

Brayan Bello is back! A tough matchup against the Mariners, but still exciting to see him back!

Didn't even get a screen grab of the pitching matchup... sorry everyone. Let's just grab a W!

Holy crap totally forgot the Red Sox play at 11am today... let's get a win here.

Guess this year is the triennial occurrence of Martin Perez being a Cy Young contender. Hopefully someone gets to him before his ERA drops below 1.00.

I'm certainly not opposed to giving the community more game thread responsibilities. I know that's how it worked before. The reason (Brock and) I are doing it this way for now is because the majority of community feedback has been about getting consistency into the game threads. If one of us is responsible for them, we can guarantee they'll be up around the same time every day. If we open it up to everyone, we don't want there to be an issue where a game thread is late or doesn't appear at all on a given day.

Listen, if Garrett Crochet pitching against his former team can't stop this sweep, this may be the worst week in Red Sox history in forever. How are we losing to the White Sox...

I, uh, don't wanna talk about yesterday. Let's just win today, yeah?

Hey all. Just wanted to open this up to get some community feedback on how we're handling game threads thus far. I've seen a bunch of comments for and against the way we've handled it, and I'd like to use this space as a chance to hear some ideas on what we could change/keep going forward. As a reminder for how the system currently works: On Gamedays: 1) A new thread is created for that day's game in the morning. It is pinned to the top of the forums. 2) During the game, a banner announcement at the top of the site (the floating bar thing) allows people to click into the thread from anywhere on the site. 3) The previous day's game thread is placed into the memorial game thread forum. It remains open for anyone to revisit and continue using, though it is removed from the main "Red Sox Talk" forum. On Days Off: 1) The previous day's thread remains in the main forum, though it is unpinned from the top. 2) No banner announcement is created, nor any new game thread. Again, please offer any suggestions you may have. We're open to trying anything that makes your experience on the site better.

Chase Meidroth is making his MLB debut tonight against the team that traded him (us). Hopefully he won't magically turn the sinking ship White Sox around.

Ah, gotcha. It's hard to keep everything on the main forum because it slows down processing times a lot if it gets cluttered. We'll see how things progress and change it as needed. Thanks for suggesting it. Meanwhile... thank god we won. This series was so depressing until that last inning.

Are you saying you want us to permanently delete old game threads? I'm not sure that benefits anyone — keeping them alive, even in a separate forum, allows people to always return to them. There aren't any "rules" about posting. You can always go back to old threads and post in them. We just move them around to keep clutter down on the main page.

We are open to a variety of ideas with game threads. We run them differently on each of our sites. The method we're using now is designed to 1) give people access to older game threads in one centralized place and 2) encourage people to participate in the salient daily game thread. I will note that on some sites, we leave two game threads active at a time (the previous day's and the current day game thread). Perhaps that's something we could try here if people are interested.

Hey, you know what would be cool? If the Red Sox didn't get swept by their division rival at home!

With a win and Yankees loss tonight, the Red Sox can move back into first place in the AL East. I'm ready for the Tanner Houck of '24 to show up.
