2026 Red Sox Thread

I confess my faith to everyone.

Same.

May the Spirit(s) be with you. Amen.

I got the impression you are a fan of all bourbon.

Sorry if I gave a false impression. Conceptually I believe there's a place for all bourbons, it's just not necessarily on my shelf.

Sox keep on rollin'. That's 30 of 35.
Been a fan since the early. We've had some great teams. I dont evah remember a run like this.
What's tantalizing is the prospect of both Anthony and Crochet returning at some point.
Anthony will be back very soon so hes got 2 months to get into his groove. Looks good.
Crochet? I have no idea. He's obviously not just our best starter but when healthy he's in the conversation gor best pitcher in baseball.
Which he was last year. He was better than Skubal and should won the Cy Young.
Then he was dominant in the playoffs.
But the shoulder is worrisome. Here's what I know: if the Red Sox had Crochet and Anthony back at full health, then theyre the best team in the AL. Period. And very capable if beating the Dodgers. Again.
But that's a big if. I feel like we don't see Crochet til next year.

Our current streak of 25-3 is the same as Ron Guidry’s 1978 record. Not sure what that means, but the baseball gods are up to something

Also started a new winning streak. 7 straight right now. En fuego

"The Boston Red Sox have now won nine consecutive series, their longest streak in 114 years, dating back to Aug. 4-Sept. 15, 1912, according to EliasSports."

1 game back of the Yankees now.

I confess my faith to everyone.

So do I. It usually involves me putting my arms around someone, saying "I love you you old bugger. No I really love you" and then baptising their feet with vomit.

 

[manxman2601]

Caleb Durbin is really fun to watch.

 

[Clonamery]

May the Spirit(s) be with you. Amen.

And with you.

I'm still wrapping my head around how you go 31-46 and then 31-5 in the same season.
Everyone references 1914 Braves, last place on July 4th at 26-40, they went 68-19 to win the pennant and World Series.

The scouting group that identified these guys deserve a lot of credit. Unusually high hit rate.

[manxman2601]

Expensive promise.

 

[BTTA]

Expensive promise.

Yeah, bet that wasn't planned. And knowing the Sox orientation, they are going to have layoffs in the international scouting department because of this unanticipated expense item. Or maybe they borrow from the Pats' playbook and offer baloney sandwiches.

Thanks for posting that. Definitely makes me more optimistic.
Another reason: Story has ramped up rehab and could be back late August/early September. Yeah he was not good earlier in the season but he was playing hurt and really shouldn't have been playing.
Don't forget the tear he went on last half of last season. Speed,power and great defense.
We'll see.

By my calculations, that come to about $500.
For greasy, previously-frozen ballpark " food".
