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

With Martinez hobbled, the Red Sox have made the glorious decision to carry a 13th position player.

Two Josh Smiths on the roster. That's going to be annoying to type and describe on a message board.

I also don't know why the Sox are even bothering to put Martinez in the outfield at any point of the season with Holt back. Ya JDM you will lose value if you became a full-time DH right now, but it might extend your career. I don't get it.

Lol my name recognition is getting worse by the minute. That's alright. I was getting confused, too. Taylor is the lefty reliever and Smith is the right starter turned reliever who had previous big league experience. I think there was another Josh Smith as well?

Tampa could run out a hack with a 12 ERA and they would shut us down. I don't get it.

I guess the Sox aren't playing the Royals anymore.

idk why the offense has been so bad the first time through the order this year

Ya I'm not sure if this offense is better this year. The regression of Mookie Betts and JDM takes a huge hit on the biggest production of the offense at the top of the order. Plus, JDM is missing a lot more games.
The progression of Devers and Vazquez helps mitigate it, but the Sox were the best run scoring team in the league last year, despite all the holes you had all over the field at catcher, second base, third base.

stupid start to this inning; single, groundball infield single in the hole, passed ball...this might not end well

The team this year seems to struggle maintaining its sharpness and focus. Short good stretch then blah. Let's see is Porcello can find his command.

Kiermaier is swinging through all the high fastballs then Leon calls an inside slider...bad decision

Goes to show that anyone can look good against the Royals.

We will get the obligatory Porcello MEA culpa post game interview when he admits he sucked. Gets tiring.

Well, we know we can't fool em with ground balls right at people. Pop flies won't work either.😡
Striking out on bad pitches is a poor plan, too.
