Red Sox News & Links: Running Out Of Time overthemonster.com/2024/9/3/24234…

The bad news is none of these guys can pitch. The good news is the Red Sox are assembling such a deep group of position players, they have the currency to acquire desperately needed top of the rotation pitching if they play their hand correctly this winter.

Yo. Sorry for long message but just wanted to provide a personal update and this may be the only one I ever do. I debated doing this, but I don’t really have much of a choice. I have kidney failure. We’ve determined it’s permanent and won’t get better. My GFR (kidney function)

"The Red Sox have played like toenail fungus since the All-Star break. Yet thanks to the tedious triple Wild Card format, their playoff odds remain roughly equal to the chances of rolling a nine with a standard pair of playing dice." -Matthew Gross overthemonster.com/2024/9/4/24234…

Who’s got Wild Card fever?!?

I was sucking wind in the Rockies last week, so I completely missed that Pod On Lansdowne did a 20 minute bit pretending that it was March 2025. I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake, so let me be clear: this is the best Red Sox pod out there, and there's no close 2nd.

Not everything about the Red Sox is awful right now! As Jake writes, Kutter Crawford has turned his season around, and it bodes well for 2025. overthemonster.com/2024/9/4/24235…

What do the Red Sox need to turn things around? Well, better pitching, hitting, and defense, obviously. But barring those how about . . . the supernatural?? overthemonster.com/2024/9/5/24236… v

Quotes don’t matter. Good stories do. @dansecatore dives into a recent kerfuffle that says more about some members of the media than it does about Rafael Devers, a broken man on display for all of us to see. overthemonster.com/2024/9/6/24236…

Wrote about Rafael Devers deciding not to talk to the media, and then some members of the media deciding not to do their jobs (and then also a little about existential anxiety, because apparently I just can't help myself. . .)

.Dan Secatore nailed this. I'm much more interested in reading about everything that happened versus any throwaway quote Raffy would have given. Deadlines and algorithms be damned.
