They say you learn more from losses than you do wins, or something like that. 29 of 30 teams end the season without hoisting a trophy, and therefore walk away more educated than the World Series Champion. While I can’t help Jarren Duran learn to catch better or Connor Wong to hit home runs, I […]

The fires are mild this summer. I know because we’ve journeyed east on schedule. It will be five years before my window for this time shrinks from a Carlos Vargas target to George Kirby’s.

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell One of the most valuable players on the 2025 Red Sox was, for two months, one of the worst players in baseball.

I always wonder what I would have done. I think, I would have brought Hoffman in and tell him “you have six outs to get, I’m not going to take you out no matter what. This is why you are here.” The worry would have been that he has given up a lot of home […]
