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

Three good pitchers throwing. TBD has been better than I expected.

I’d be thrilled with a split

I expect a sweep. We kill all the good teams. Unfortunately, we get killed by the bad ones. That means, if we make the playoffs, we should be the favorite.

12.5 MM AAV through 2028, team option for 2029 🥵

I had to double check the Strider strikeout numbers in the original post. I haven't paid much attention to the NL in recent years and my first reaction to an almost 15 K/9 was that it was a typo...

You know I watched sports center they were throwing roses at the Orioles. They are playing great but call me crazy I feel if we just make the playoffs I love our chances vs the East. Nobody scares me. But we need a couple of fixes. Real bad. We need contributions from the SS and 2B . Not all the time but they have to show something once in a while . We will see Mr Bloom. Don’t give me next year crap. I’m done waiting . Strike now . If not could be very foolish. I mean I not giving up Maher or nothing crazy like that. I don’t think he has to mortgage the future for a couple of pieces. Give me a break. I wanna watch playoff baseball with our team. In the dance.
Obviously a starting pitcher. I mentioned this before. I can’t assume.

I can’t assume. All the Sox need to be relivant is 1- get some more guys healthy. Starts with Scrieber, storey, and hopefully at least a couple of sale , Houck, Whitlock 2- trade for a starting pitcher. Obviously a top end guy would be perfect, but almost any reliable guy would work. 3- fix the logjam of middle infield. Preferable adding a LHH. 4- at least get Macgiure back. Or add a C that can play defence. I don’t think this plan would cost much in way of prospects ( depending on pitcher added). |

Any guesses for who is pitching for the Red Sox today? I was wondering if they would call up Bear Claw since he’s scheduled for Worcester today |

On the other hand, if they don't, who would the opener be? You don't want to lose the game in the first inning and this team is capable of doing that to you. |

Won't be Bernardino since he just went two days ago. I REALLY wish we had one semi-capable right handed reliever (outside our high leverage guys) to open a game against a fairly right handed heavy Braves lineup. Dreams of Ryan Brasier..... lol.
If it wasn't Schreiber's first game back, I would love him to open for Pivetta. Funky delivery, league hasn't seen him in a while, and most importantly.. he's actually good.
If he throws Jacques out there again.. or Bleier... We'll be chasing at least 5 runs after an inning or two, almost guaranteed.

He seems like the most competitive RHP option against this lineup. |

Looks like thunderstorms could be rolling through Boston this evening; it may be a good game to be going with an opener.

It seems to me like every time we faced Morton in Fenway we got him into a jam the 1st inning and he somehow escapes out of it then cruises the rest of the outing so please Sox no inning ending double plays or weak pop ups with runners on 3rd and less than outs.
Finish him! Thanks xoxo
