Red Sox/MLB 2024 Regular Season 2: When the Red Sox win, kids eat free at the 99 Restaurant

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Yeah. I think I have better things to do with my time than watch Red Sox baseball, so I'm checking out on the '24 season.

See you guys around the Bruins and Patriots threads.

MLB Extra innings baby!

Tons of great baseball to watch

Cam Booser is getting a look

I think he’s our 2nd best lefty reliever in the system so thank god

 

[Mione134]

Can we get somebody other than Hamilton up here

 

[CDJ]

Kyle Boddy worked with him in Cincinnati. He has a black widow throat tattoo that’s kinda sick, that’s the best thing about him for sure

Me imparting my wisdom on young, impressionable minds.

I taught them the Serenity Prayer, and the importance of accepting the things that are out of their control (the rainy conditions) and the things that are in their control (always making sure of getting one out on defense).

I’ve never seen a team make the simple things seem so difficult.

The have an easy 3 more wins already if they were performing the fundamentals at even a 70% rate.

I’m talking tagging a base, not getting picked off, getting a bunt down, executing a basic double play and fielding balls cleanly.

Agreed.

But I don't put getting a bunt down as a fundamental play anymore. Seems to be the toughest thing to accomplish in MLB.

A guy I work with told me yesterdays starting lineup didn't have anyone making over 1.5 million in it - John and Linda must have been thrilled..

thats major league the movie bad

A guy I work with told me yesterdays starting lineup didn't have anyone making over 1.5 million in it - John and Linda must have been thrilled..

1. $30mil/yr tied up on a really good hitter who's a defensive liability at 3B. An awful contract that they signed because they were afraid to piss off the fan base any more than they already have.
2. $22.5mil/yr tied up on a SS who can't stay on the field consistently.
3. $18.6mil/yr tied up on a below average defensive OF who doesn't really do anything exceptionally well offensively.
4. $16mil/yr on a one-pitch closer, who's one pitch really isn't that special anymore.
5. $19mil/yr on a panic-signing (see #1 above) for a questionable SP who got hurt before his first start.

That's $105mil on 5 players who are either hurt, flawed or really should be DH'ing. When they have spent, they've spent foolishly.

Linda's louboutins aren't getting any cheaper you know.

Henry and Werner get to write off the injured players' salary, they have insurance for that.

I just looked and Rob Refsnyder is the fifth-highest paid player on the active roster.

Just an embarrassment. The active roster payroll in 2024 is less than than the team payroll was in 2001. Every member of last night's lineup made less money than Hipolito Pichardo did in 2001 - and that's not even adjusting for inflation.

Full throttle

Lineup is disgusting but at least Rafaela is at SS

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

I am more disappointed with the people who still pay to go watch them. Think of all the more pleasurable things you could do instead

To each their own, but for me, there's nothing better than listening to a ball game on the radio with a cold bear and some sausage on the grill. That's what I'll be doing tonight.

Enjoy your weekend, fellas......

I’d recommend warming up the bear.

I do the same. Plenty of great baseball to watch with MLB Extra Innings and free streaming of quality baseball out there than the Sox
