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'm very interested to see which sacrifical lamb is going to pitch tonight.

I'm worried about the Sox splitting here. Happ and Paxton look like they belong in this rotation and the hitting has started to wake up.
MFY does have a better lineup and bullpen though.

Sox get back on track by taking three out of four in The Bronx this weekend. Are you obligated to say that? lol. Would that even be a good thing at this point? They're better off catching the Pirates than they would be winning 3 out of 4. I'll be optimistic. They'll win a game. I mean the law of averages says it's time, right? Since 2019 they have lost what, 17 of 22 games against the Yankees? They're due to win one, right?

They should serve up more home runs to Judge so the Yankees can’t afford him anymore and they have to give him away to the Angels or someone. It’s a thing.

it is the MFY. Anything less than a win will cause me serious distress.
Sweep the leg !!

The gambler’s fallacy. 6 straight rolls on black doesn’t mean red is “due” and therefore more likely. EV of wins for this Red Sox team against this Yankees team is probably around 25-30%, so 1 win out of 4 is probably the most likely outcome.

I still believe in that if you're going to pick a card ten times and it comes out red the first six times, you'll eventually wind up with black at some point over the next four card picks - I'm still a believer in the law of averages, but whatever. 1 out of 4 would be fine, although if the Sox lose all 4 I'd be just as fine with that too, as long as the Pirates start winning some damn games.

Bring on the L’s I want that #1 pick. Yeah that’s where I’m at too. Let our scrub pitchers get smoked, root for the young guys to hit well, and just tank our way to a high draft pick.

Chris Mazza would be lined up for Sunday, but don't count out a Houck call-up.

I think in the right situation both of those guys could profile as back end rotation talents. You need those. This is the perfect season to test them out. It seems like the time is right for Houck. I don’t see any reason to rush Mata. I’d rather see him get his feet wet late next season with eye to a rotation spot in 2022. He is still so young, and he’s barely even experienced AA. Even the small risk of injury or loss of confidence makes me cautious. Add: really, I’d like to see Dalbec play. He falls into my “why not” category more than any. And Chavis regularly at 2B. Let’s find out what he has and make a longer term decision on his role.

An honest question for those of you who are rooting for the Red Sox to lose: do you really mean it? Like, do you watch the games and then get annoyed when they score runs because it makes their draft position worse? Because that seems bonkers to me. Rooting doesn't actually change what happens, so might as well just stick with your emotional investment in the team and hope they do well, right? And if they don't, then you can get excited about the draft pick. Personally, I couldn't root for the team to do badly if I tried.
But maybe I am taking this too literally and saying you're rooting for them to lose is just a way to cope with the disappointment or express frustration. In which case, carry on...

I'm interested in seeing Brewer stretched out. He has been good in 2 inning or more outings as a Red Sox however its a small sample size (16 2/3 innings/ 3.23 ERA). He has the velocity, multiple pitches (albeit so are show me pitches), and a starter's frame. Could be a bulk (100 innings in a regular season) guy.

Brewer is basically the last man standing of the guys that were stretched out to three innings in summer camp. For me, given the shortage of starters all along, the two relievers I most wanted tried as starters are Brewer and Darwinzon.

For me, yes but from a different perspective than you paint. Right from the start, I've not been a fan of a 60 game schedule. Therefore my attitude is similar to watching the Sox in spring training of a normal year except there is a draft prize available. I've also mostly watched on Gameday because the 7:30 start times coincides with my kids Zoom schooling. I can usually only manage a few quick peeks during any given game so, there isn't much of a visual stimulus for me either. I usually watch the highlights but I have yet to watch a complete game in archives.

In which case, carry on... i am going to bet some of the rheotoric is apathy, but there is philosophical dogma to "Tank" to get high draft pick. I am with your philosophy, I won't ever want less than a win, as much for the players and the efforts they put in, than anything else. Competing and losing is not fun for the participants (and fans to a lesser extent)
