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

Apparently Heinemen and Isaiah Campbell are going down tomorrow, and Bailey Horn is coming up. Wong coming back from paternity leave.

The Padres traded away Soto. Bogaerts was awful and then was lost to injury. Machado's been only a league average hitter.
Somehow they have a team wRC+ of 113.
(Don't bother looking at Profar's stats. They're definitely not absurdly comical in any way.)

Since he left the MFY, Mike King is one of my favorite pitchers to watch. His mastery of the front door sinker to LHH is unparalleled in today's MLB.

Profar is having one of the more fascinating seasons in baseball. He’s just absolutely raking suddenly out of the blue in a way he never has. I don’t know if he can keep it up, but he’s not getting especially lucky he’s just been way better. If he does, I wonder what his FA market looks like.

Manny Machado has not played a game against the Red Sox since 2019 (he was hurt last year when they were in San Diego.) He has not played a game at Fenway Park since the 2018 World Series.

I don’t know if he can keep it up, but he’s not getting especially lucky he’s just been way better. If he does, I wonder what his FA market looks like. It's also interesting because it wasn't like there's one specific big change in his game. He's doing everything across the board a little bit better than he has in the past (more walks, fewer strikeouts, more power, average exit velos up) and boom, 50 points better on the xwOBA. A tiny bit of BABIP luck (he's been relatively unlucky throughout his career) is getting him some shiny baseball card stats on top of it. It's kinda cool to see him finally be the player we all thought he could be.

It's kinda cool to see him finally be the player we all thought he could be. His LD% is up a bit and he cut his IFFB% significantly, but I agree there is no huge change to explain the massive jump in AVG EV. At his age and defensive outlook I’d bet against him keeping this up, but I’m happy for him. It’s been a long and winding road since he was the #1 prospect in the game

Is this Don Orsillo’s first visit to Fenway since 2015?

Is this Don Orsillo’s first visit to Fenway since 2015? Sometimes after the Sox game, I'll flip over to the Padres telecast to hear him do a game. I think it's one of those things that you can't really appreciate something until you lose it.

I think it's one of those things that you can't really appreciate something until you lose it. When OB started, I liked him way better than Orsillo. I thought he was a god on the radio. I'm more indifferent now, not sure if he has changed or if I'm jaded. He certainly doesn't have the same talent in the booth next to him compared to Remy and Eck, although I like Youk. What I REALLY miss is OB doing radio. I just cannot stand Will Flemming's intonation, though there's no denying the care and work he puts in, as well as his inside connections and report with the players and guys behind the scenes. It's such a shame because Castig is the best out of all the guys noted above, but I often have to turn off the game when he's done with the first couple of innings as I just can't listen to Flemming. Anyway, just whining; first world problems. Carry on.

However, I do anything to get Monaco in the TV booth every day. Also, this may be blasphemous, but I find Orsillo super grating these days with the Padres.

Apparently Heinemen and Isaiah Campbell are going down tomorrow, and Bailey Horn is coming up. Wong coming back from paternity leave. Interesting! Campbell surely earned that demotion, but I hadn't given any thought to Bailey Horn.
Welcome back to the new dad!!!

The North Remembers Manny Machado should've been charged with felony assault and then sued by Pedroia for loss of wages, pain and suffering and loss of income from a future Hall of Fame induction. I will continue to stand by this forever.

I have updated the Craig Breslow scoreboard for the midway point of the season. Negative value of the Grissom/Sale swap dwarfs everything else, unfortunately.

I think with them just optioning Booser & Keller, Horn is really the only viable option they can exercise for a call up that isn’t injury related.

The vibes are immaculate boys Fitting, as Dalmatians are one of the more insane breeds of dogs. My uncle had one, and if ever a dog behaved like someone on crack, Sparky the Dalmatian was one.

Rainout before an off day is just cruel. I don't mind. This team is short on arms at the moment. It needed the full reset.

Are you going to update the Bloom scoreboard? Might be illuminating to see how many surplus value one year deals are going to end up offset by the ongoing Story and Yoshida contracts.
