Red Sox/MLB 2024 Regular Season V - Sox finish 81-81

I want them to go after Flaherty. He's a FA. And would be exactly what we need.

I'd rather have Max Fried (if he elects for free agency in November).

Edit: On second thought, let's sign both!

Fried scares me from a potential injury perspective, but I wouldn't say no.

Burnes is the guy I'd be all in on. And I'd also take a flyer on Bieber and see if he'd be able to go by mid-season.

Flaherty and Fried

I'm here for it.

i don’t see them spending for impact free agents and i don’t see the kids making enough of a leap next year. going to be another year of mediocrity at best.

I agree. I doubt they are just going to flip and empty the bank account. It will be the same rhetoric with increased ticket prices.

Maybe so, but they can fix their bullpen for a reasonable cost, and I think that's exactly what they will try to do. I don't see them bringing Jansen back either, so I'd expect them to try to bring in 2-3 quality relievers. Its not sexy and the fans will whine about it, but it would be effective.

QUALITY bullpen depth and improving the defense are the 2 things I'd focus on the most.

I'm rooting for them just so 90 year old Bob Uecker can finally see a title

Is Shohei... underpaid?

 

[CDJ]

They’re not ruling out him pitching in October either lmaooooo

The freakiest freak of our times. Won’t see another athlete quite like him

 

[CDJ]

Not for nothing he’s 6-6 with 3 home runs 10 RBI and 2 SB today, it’s in the running for greatest singular game ever

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

I hope the best baseball player ever made some bets on himself.

Ohtani's numbers are absolutely insane.

That seems good.

3.833 OPS in today's game. Gotta be the single greatest hitting performance in a single game in baseball history. I don't know who's in second, but I'd wager it isn't even close.

EDIT: I just looked it up. Nick Dumovich had a 3.000 OPS in 1923 with the Cubs (Minimum 4 Plate Appearances). He had 4 PAs, and went 2-2 with a Triple, a Walk, a HBP and a base hit......as a pitcher.

 

[McGarnagle]

I mean, I'm compelled to root against the dodgers and their buying every major free agent every year, but how can you not root for Shohei?

Mike Cameron has a 4.200 OPS game. 4 HR and a HBP in 5 AB

That whole thing about betting on games and throwing the translator under the bus comes to mind.

Sorry, I know this is off topic, and I don't mean to be "that guy" but...

The photo in your avatar is Gil Gilbert not Gerry Cheevers, what's up with that?

It's just a poor attempt at irony.

My initial avatar pic was very close to yours btw.

Unsurprisingly, the Sox have run up the white flag after last night's loss.

They waved that flag two weeks ago.
