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 wonder what kind of reception Kiké will get and how that will sit with the players.

Probably a double header tomorrow but I think they should do one game only showing Mookies tribute video and do the rest of the tribute videos during a different game. Mookie meant so much to this city it should be his welcome back first then everyone else later in the series

Daily Pablo Reyes appreciation post:
Contact markers are elite: Out of zone swing %: 23.4% (ranks 34th out of 381 players with minimum 140 PA) In zone swing contact %: 90.6 % (ranks 61st out of 381 players) Swinging strike %: 5.8% (ranks 19th out of 381 players)
He's middle of the pack in impacting the ball:
Hard hit % (statcast): 38.8% (ranks 205th out of 381)
At what point to we decide the break out is real, or do you guys expect a regression?

Will Rafaela come up for two days when Abreu has his baby? That would be a good idea. Abreu has made an impact, why not Rafaela ?

The Dodgers 1-2 is ludicrous— Sox line up:
Wong Casas Reyes Story Raffy Masa Duvall Verdugo
is 14.2 bWAR The Mookie/Freddie express is 12.4 bWAR
(I know… many of those guys have played partial seasons… rhis is not meant to be *that* serious a comp!)

I just want to get this series over with so everyone can stop the "what if they didn't trade Betts" stuff. (and by everyone I am including the media). It's been 3 years and that horse has been beaten so thoroughly it looks like a pudding pop.

Oh its not going to stop once LA leaves BOS this week.... its going to be brought up as much as babe ruth.... so prepare for this to be talked about when you are 98 years old Because the media is desperate for clicks

Personally, I'm not going to get mad or rehash the trade any more. Rather I think it's a cool moment to celebrate one of the greatest players of a generation who we were lucky to watch play at Fenway for 6 years and win a ring with.
With this season being so spectacular, Mookie has probably reached the rarified air of a guy who could retire after 10 seasons and at age 30 with a hall of fame career. That's pretty cool.

He has 3 options and is a candidate to join the team in September. If the Sox still need to option him in 2026, then he is not what we hope he is.

Something tells me he’s not gonna have the anabolic driven 2nd half of the career lol What a good reference point for younger fans who only know Bonds as the steroid guy- he was as good as a guy like Mookie (a no doubt HOFer imo) without the juice
