2026 Red Sox Thread

[ViperGTS]

Quick disclaimer. I'm in the UK so I don't get to watch full games, just the highlights on YT each morning which, coincidentally, has becaome a bit of a highlight of the day of late.

I want to ask. When Tracy took over, I noticed for a few weeks the team seemed to get really aggressive on the bases - lots of being thrown out at third or at home. I'm starting to wonder whether a) that was a strategy from Tracy to get this team to be more aggressive/less passive and b) whether that has been a catalyst for the streak they're currently enjoying. Am I off base, or is there something there? They are less passive and there's clearly a fire there now.

It's a Tracy thing. It is a big reason they are being successful now. And kicking Driveline out help a lot. The other major part is Tracy doesn't play favorites at this point in his career. That might change but when you are a AAA manager you don't know who is going to be around due to call ups or trades etc. That also is a help.
