Bonds, Clemens, Sheffield and Valenzuela got less than 5 votes, so they aren’t eligible again until 2031. If they don’t get 5 or more votes next time then they’re off the ballot for good.

Most MLB media saying the #RedSox efforts to get Joe Ryan were "feeble" or "not close."
Meanwhile the Sox are saying the opposite, that they put forth their best effort but "things didn't line up."
Given how the only one saying they tried hard is them I know who I believe.

#RedSox went with the “inventory over impact” approach to their Trade Deadline and watched all of their Wild Card competitors get better.

I genuinely believe that Fitts isn’t ready to be at the MLB level. The stuff is there but he doesn’t know how to use it properly. #RedSox

Garrett Crochet really showing “ace” stuff tonight. Has he been perfect? Far from it. But he’s battling and that’s what you want your number one to do. #RedSox

If @mlb.com really wants me to care about the All Star Game they have to prove that THEY care about it first. I don’t do popularity contests and that’s all it is.

Dave O’Brien just said on @NESN that Kutter Crawford made the All Star team last year. He is incorrect- Kutter was not named to the All Star game in any capacity. #RedSox

Has anyone else playing #PokemonScarletViolet noticed that they’re not getting a very large quantity of outbreaks? Also that the outbreaks all seem to be the same rotation of mons every time?

n order to even have a winning record for the season (because that’s how low the bar is now) the #RedSox need to go 53-46 over their last 99 games and I’m not sure they can.

The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different result. That’s what it feels like watching the #RedSox these days.

Ryan Helsley hadn’t given up a run in his last 23 appearances, dating back to last year.
He hadn’t walked 4 batters in an inning since 2019.
He did both today.
