Red Sox 2024

[Boston Boxer]

Here. We. Go

We are undefeated!

 

[PatsfaninTx]

Go Sox!!!

 

[Boston Boxer]

Damn, we are not undefeated any longer. Pivetta with 10 Ks in a strong outing.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Best pitching performance of the season and they lose. Terrible.

Really?
Red Sox lead MLB in ERA. 2.06
Red Sox lead MLB in strikeout/walk ratio. 45 k's : 6 walks!
Only 4 games but considering how weak all of us thought their starting pitching would be, these are mindboggling #'s.
Best starting pitching in MLB so far.
" suck" does not fit. Not yet,anyway.

 

[jimnance]

So tonight Houck 6 shutout innings no walks 10 k's. Team shutout.
Sox era now down to 1.60 by far best in mlb.
58/6 k's to bbs. Holy ****!
Haven't checked but my strong hunch is this the best pitching start by Boston in 1st 5 games- maybe ever?

 

[maust]

I will not get sucked in again, I will not get sucked in again, I will not...

 

[jimnance]

It's only 5 games so I'd need to see how good they are after 30 or so.
You never know. They have a lot of young talent.

And an ownership that stopped giving a damn a few years ago.

Their ownership sucks. Sox have one of the best managers in the game in Cora. Their pitching coaches are excellent and I like the GM, who's hands have been tied by the miserly owners.
And a lot of good young talent.
But F the owners. They have zero integrity

Cora is absolutely one of the best managers in the game today. Not extending him before the season speaks volumes about ownership and what it says isn't good. I like what we've seen out of Bailey's approach with the pitching staff through Spring Training. Breslow got a goatskin coat along with the job, unfortunately it was of the sacrificial variety. Henry and company have managed to squander what not all that long ago seemed like an almost bottomless well of fan base good will. Milking Sox Nation is one thing, cynically and blatantly milking it is quite another. Having our noses openly rubbed in their indifference is infuriating

You left on pandering and condescending.

I still wonder if Cora would've re-signed here if he was even offered. There seemed to be some, not so thinly veiled, back and forth through the media around the expectations of the team and the state of the roster with him and ownership a couple months ago. It drives me nuts that ownership seems have the mentality of if they aren't one of the 4-5 teams seriously competing for a championship each year then why invest at all? This team with some pitching help and an extra bat or two would be right there in the mix for the division and you build off that and maybe have a contender in a couple years. Instead they want to cheap out and throw crap against the wall and see if it sticks.

Thank God I left Boston in 1991 because that horrible Sweet Caroline **** would've kept me out of Fenway.
Makes me wanna vomit.

Glad I am not alone. I hate it.

 

[203Pat]

I don't love it but I don't hate it. I don't really get why Sweet Caroline elicits such strong emotions either way from the fanbase.

 

[jimnance]

This team is fun to watch
