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

Going into 2020 the top 4 starters were Sale (TJ), Price (traded), E-Rod (heart condition), Eovaldi (missed starts due to injury), so at one point #5 starter, Martin Perez was the Red Sox #1. Under those circumstances expectations were obviously low, and the Red Sox were behind in games early and often. They finish stronger though at 12-9. They were actually 20-20 on the season against all teams not TB and MFY (4-16) to finish 24-36.
In 2022 the it feels worst even though their record is better, because of how many games the Red Sox have had a lead only to blow it in the 8th or more often 9th innings. I can not blame only the bullpen as many times the offense simply did not score enough runs. I can not expect the bullpen to pitch 4 or 5 innings every night and give up 0 runs, because they are only leading 2-1. The number of close losses as been almost unbelievable. I hope Bloom & Co spend enough and wisely to make the Red Sox competitive (and I hope the injury situation is also better in 2023).

I hope Bloom & Co spend enough and wisely to make the Red Sox competitive (and I hope the injury situation is also better in 2023). Let's not forget horrible defense and throwing the ball around like it's a Globetrotter's game either. This has been a labor of love to watch the laundry perform the way they have for 3/4 of the season. I'm guarded at this point. I'm not Anti-Bloom as some are, but I want to see better decision making and I will leave it at that. Ultimately I'm rooting for Bloom, because a good Bloom means a good team. Auditions however in Boston are like acts at the Apollo. If you can't perform they will yank you off with the hook.

Well said. Losing Sale, Wacha, Eovaldi, Pivetta, Paxton, Houck, Whitlock, Barnes, Crawford, Winckowsl, Seabold, Mata (thatâs a dozen) and more to the IL, often at the same time, we kind of re-lived that painful 2020; painfully. (Notice I didnât even mention Arroyo, JDM, Kiké, Hosmer, etc.)
We now face KC and the rest of 2022 with a near healthy team, augmented by Bello, Casas, Wong, McGuire, Kelly, and hopefully German, Politi getting some MLB experience. With so many huge decisions to be made from now to 2023 ST, this is a good time to follow soxprospects.

Monaco and Youk... that's ok.
Wacha. Good.
Casas.
So, some interest.

after being blacked out for the NY Series, I am back. Don't know that I have the stamina to watch the whole game, but given the season i almost over, gotta get some Sox belly fat to make it through the winter hiberantion.

Are these the “meaningful games in September “ I was promised?

Wacha will probably get 4yr / 72-80 million this offseason. Not sure Bloom will want to go that deep.

that was a nice play, but come on, not a Web Gem. He had to hardly move.

Casas makes everyone in the infield look better with wingspan.

Look at these cowards bringing in the lefty to face the .111 hitter.

I could be mistaken, but I believe every single Triston Casas plate appearance at the major league level has reached a 3-2 count.
