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

Hamilton defensive player of the year in the minors for the Sox. Who votes for this? Has anyone seen him throw? Wow to me that means nobody in the organization can play defense.

lol Cora picks up the phone, decides to challenge, then the guy calls back and says actually you're gonna lose and Cora tries to tell the ump not to bother
Cora will now learn his lesson to make sure to be 100% sure before challenging anything

They finally bestir themselves to challenge a call and... NESN never showed a replay of it? Or did I miss it?

I'm on vacation in the western NC mountains near the TN border. Kayaked twice, hiked - so can absorb a Red Sox game. I'm so relaxed nothing can annoy me

I never overrated this team. I called 79 wins in January - that's what it looked like, that's what they are. I didn't use advanced stats. I looked at last year, looked at the roster, the injuries - and just wasn't impressed.

[Stefon voice]: This inning has everything: blown challenges, bad pitching, defensive flubs, annoying BABIP luck!

Clever— keep the Rays close so the Os take the last four seriously. That’ll help with the draft.

Pittsburgh, Cleveland and San Francisco are the teams to root for around the league to help our draft position. We have the tiebreak on Cleveland and SF.

I looked at last year, looked at the roster, the injuries - and just wasn't impressed. Yeah, well, the advanced stats (e.g., ZiPS) also said they were a 79 win team. *I*, on the other hand, looked at the roster and thought they could win 88 games! Was I wrong - or did reality simply fail to live up to proper expectations? Who's to say, really.

How come their fielders get to catch line drives hit right at them but ours don't? No fair.

Camera guy putting the bleachers center frame on a ball 8 feet in front of the wall is the worst part of this game so far

I overestimated partly because I didn’t want to be accused of bitterness against Bloom. Was I wrong about Bloom? Who’s to say? The owners? The record? All of baseball history?
