Just saw Kyle Boddy was hired by the Red Sox in an advisory role.  I respect his opinion on most topics, and even though it didn't seem to work with him at his role with the Reds, he probably gets a longer leash with a brand new GM on the Sox in Breslow to implement his philosophies.

Maybe the Sox finally turn their pitching around to match their usually strong offense.  Playing in the AL East never gets easy...

Yea I saw he made a point about how he has had other opportunities but felt Boston was the right fit for him.

Josh Hader to Astros?

Astros "Making A Push" To Sign Josh Hader - MLB Trade Rumors

Hader to the Astros. Some more defense being played by Elias. Keeping these guys outta the AL East. 

Stephenson to the Mets or Phillies?

The only big moves left that could hurt us are Montgomery and Snell. Both don’t seem like fits in the AL East.

Josh Hader is now an Astro. 95mil 5 years.

Hader married a girl from Texas that he met while playing AAA ball in El Paso, so perhaps he wanted to go somewhere in Texas.

Or, maybe they offered the most money.

How is this "playing defense" by Elias?

My bad, it was Corpus Christi, not El Paso

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By banks703 · Posted

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
