One big league homer…off Mike Clevinger.

I don’t know why Braden Montgomery is in Secaucus, NJ, but he’ll be on MLB Network in a little while. I’m sure it’ll be on the Sox site later.

Probably already mentioned, but the two Red Sox series are back to back weekends in April.

I’d like to see Meidroth up just to see what he can do. Teel and Gonzalez at AAA but not for long. Montgomery- maybe W-S to start and flies through to AAA by the end?

RIP Rocky Colavito His Hall of Fame chances are better now that he’s gone.

MLBN not even live at 7p on Tuesday. They really scaled back this year. They know it’s not what it used to be.

2025 Draft- 1. Nationals 2. Angels 3. Mariners

They used to end it on Thursday morning with the Rule 5, but now that’s tomorrow afternoon. I think anything could happen Wednesday late, but probably not. They may officially end with minor league hiring events, but MLB Network doesn’t have programming there on Thursday.

Crochet to the Reds tonight. Robert to the Phillies tomorrow. No. Same stuff we’ve read in quotes. It’s all GM speak until things actually happen.

That’s what…

121 losses is going to be tough to top, but I can’t imagine a scenario where the Sox don’t have the worst record again.

Hopefully Manfred made the comment just to see the reaction. I’m happy baseball fans know it’s dumb and this will just go away. I’m no Manfred fan, but some of the recent changes- pitch timer and defensive alignment have been helpful for the pace of the game. The runner on second base in extra innings is dumb, and should start in the 12th inning if must be, but I can live with it. This golden at bat idea is garbage.

Mentioned it before, but who gets in is mostly a result of who is on the committee- and then it’s basically fixed on who gets 12 or more to get in. Based on the committee this year… I’ll say Dick Allen and John Donaldson get in. Announcement on Sunday night.

There have been plenty of big at bats that have been decided by lesser known names forever. It’s been a great part of baseball being different than any other game. This is just a dumb idea that is only going to put star offensive players in a position to fail more often.

The sports are too different to compare. A floor and cap in baseball would help the product along with a few other things.

I’d be for a fan strike until there’s a salary cap and floor, but it’s not going to happen.

Chris Sale wins Cy and clinched his entry into the Hall. Cease 4th.

“The MLB” has got to stop. Abreu? Good luck.

Yes, Cole has won a Cy-last year. Couple 2nds too. On the Hall of Fame highway.

These committee votes are kind of a joke. It’s more about who is on the committee than the players themselves. I wish there was a one time meeting of a blue ribbon panel to decide yes or no on everyone under consideration, and either you get in then, or you are forever not considered. Stop playing with old men’s emotions—and their families too. More than anything, the Hall should be about getting guys in their 40’s in so they can enjoy it with their families and come back to Cooperstown each year.

The delay between tv and Gameday is almost a minute. Wtf.

Cole is a stud if you allow him to be a stud. He was great.

Looked at his player page. His #1 similar player is Daryl Boston. Had to laugh. I like the hire, but what’s it really mean in the long run under a Reinsdorf ownership? Good luck, Will.

It’s the little things in baseball. Some huge opportunities lost for the Dodgers. Not over, but the winner of this game is probably winning a championship.

RIP Fernando. He was a big deal in 1981 and had some other good years. Sad this is happening right before the Dodgers/Yankees Series.
