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

Didn't Houck just say he has the last start ?

Tampa lost today so we will need to get swept to pass them in the Tankathon standings. That would get us #9 unless SF also gets swept

After almost 5 seasons, could be Pivetta’s last start as a Red Sox. Was a fun ride:

Wouldn't be surprised if they swept Tampa. They've been eliminated from the playoff race so it would be fitting to win out and miss out on moving up the draft board.

Sigh. End of the 2024 string. It has been better than I hoped, and mostly interesting (with a fair amount of pain interspersed). Looking forward to intently watching three games of hopefully good baseball this weekend, because I'm really going to miss it until the truck loads up in spring.
I am uncharacteristically optimistic about 2025.

Well I was optimistic about this year going in and I’m optimistic about next year coming out. The second half collapses are getting tiresome, but at least the young guys developed nicely

Pivetta's been frustrating at times, but if this does end up being his last Boston start, I will miss him.

One of the all-time great fleecings in Red Sox history. Maybe not Slocumb for Tek and Lowe, but it's up there.

Yes it would of been this generation's Slocumb trade if Seabold did anything for the Sox. At least the kids have the verdugo trade. Fitts and Wiesert (sp) have already done more for the Red Sox than Verdugo for the Yankees.

What year would you have to have fallen into a coma to wake up, see the Orioles, Tigers, and Royals are going to make the playoffs, and think “that checks out.” Somewhere around 1983? Will we be seeing Paul Splittorff in game 1?

Will we be seeing Paul Splittorff in game 1? 2014 actually. Royals beat the O's in the ALCS after the O's knocked off Detroit in the ALDS. Royals had defeated the Angels in the ALDS after beating the A's in the Wild Card Game to make this bizarro playoffs feel more complete. It being an even year in the 2010s, the Giants won the WS of course. That said I agree it feels very 80s.

It's the same lineup. Would prefer to see the bench guys.
Yankees are sitting Judge & Stanton

Mickey Gasper getting into 0 games in a week of meaningless games makes me think he's not gonna make it on the 40 this offseason

It's Priester or Criswell. Reward Priester.

We really need to get swept to do good on Tankathon and that's not very likely. I'm just gonna root for Dubs for now.

As I said in another thread, Sox probably aren't sweeping or getting swept. So, assuming no sweeps from the teams around us positive or negative, logically we should be somewhere between 12-14th odds wise, which gives us something like a 8% chance on average to move up anywhere into the top 6. Getting the 9th pick would give us a 20% chance at moving up into the top 6, but again, it requires being swept and the Giants not getting swept.

This, if anything, should point out how futile it would be to purposefully tank at this point. Too many factors at play in order to assure at least the 9th pick.
