They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

I don’t have the feeling of hopelessness I do when we’re in the trop
A good series here and the damage is undone

Houck and Pivetta have been the Red Sox best starters so far.

Likely to go with Sale or Bello on Mon, 4/17 Sale on 4 days rest, Bello on 5.
So far only Kluber (opening day) and Whitlock have pitched on 4 days rest. Pivetta and Whitlock will pitch on 4 in this series.
Raking all the starts by xwOBA, from best to worst (I'll insert Kluber 3 tomorrow):
Houck 2 Crawford 2 Houck 1 Sale 2 Kluber 2 ===> MLB Average Pivetta 2 Sale 3 Pivetta 1 Whitlock Crawford 1 Kluber 1 Sale 1
What are the odds that all 5 guys who have pitched twice were better the second time? 1 in 32, and hopefully 1 in 64 after Whitlock's second. The early-season weather is likely a part of that, but the biggest thing is that the starts in bold were all against the Tigers, a much worse offense than the others. I'll do this tomorrow relative to opponent offense.

Sandoval is such an underrated pitcher
I know I argued Houck over Pivetta, but the other situation to monitor, is how long of a leash does Whitlock get before we say hey we rather have a dominant reliever?
Thinking at least 8 starts for him before that is a thought

OK - calming down my passions - resetting to watch with fresh eyes in this new series. Yup - it's early. Time to reverse the troubling trends and get some wins. Clean game day thread. Clean slate.

In an attempt to cleanse my palate I'm taking the kids down to Greenville tonight to watch the Drive. |

Hoping for a split here. Would be pleasantly surprised with 3 wins but also wouldn't be shocked if the Sox get swept.

So is the game impossible to watch tonight unless you have an Apple TV+ subscription? Or is it still on NESN and/or MLB.TV? I don't have time to watch tonight regardless, but I'm curious for the rest of the season.

It is impossible to watch without an Apple TV+ subscription or a tolerance for sketchy websites that can be easily Googled.

Kikés batting 5th, not sure anyone wants to see this game.
our 5-9th hitters are
.114
.189
.132
.120
.0000000000 Mr Chang
Combined 20/157. What a disaster.

I'm predicting a Chang home run in a 9-1 loss.

Bello vs. Ohtani on Marathon Monday is really fun.
Also read Houck will be sent to the bullpen after his start. I'm assuming Crawford goes down once Bello is up.

Renfroe having a good series is not what Sox fans need mentally.

This might be the worst stats I’ve ever seen in a Red Sox lineup, 6 batters sub-Mendoza and with little power smh

For anyone who was hoping for a more civilized game thread this series, we start off with an RBI double from Hunter Renfroe. In fairness I don’t think anyone’s watching since it’s Apple TV lol |
