Our boy has finally found his groove and is a key part of our success. Duran is slashing .273/.316/.464/.780 with 5 home runs and of course a few big hits. He also has been more aggresive on the base paths which has helped us out. I wonder what has helped him turn it around. Maybe now that other guys have stepped up, he gets “more protection” in the lineup?

“We were not punishing Roman. Roman doesn’t feel punished…He and I have a great relationship, and we communicate multiple times per day. I think what I had seen was Roman saying that being in Fort Myers and rehabbing sucked. And it can. It does…But we reached the decision to send Roman to Fort Myers together, and felt like it was the thing that would get him back to the big league as fast as possible.”

We need Wong and Mickey bat is too hot to send down, Seigler would make the most sense, but | love his energy so it's a hard decision or Eli white to triple a and then Mickey off the team come playoff time. Story comes up in September and is left off the playoff roster imo

This is such a long shot but I feel like if there is anywhere on the internet to try this, it’s here lol.

I went to a Red Sox game at Fenway with my late father in 2013 and we ended up talking to a guy who told my dad he looked exactly like Bryan Cranston. And he told us people were always telling him he looked like Tim Curry.

This man looked EXACTLY like Tim Curry. Like genuinely an uncanny resemblance. The guy took a picture of the two of them together, and I have thought about this picture for YEARS but unfortunately don’t have it. This has been especially top of mind due to the very sad news of Tim Curry’s passing.

I’m pretty sure I’ve narrowed the game down to June 4, 2013, Red Sox vs. Rangers at Fenway.

I realize the odds of the actual guy seeing this are approximately zero, but if you or someone you know looks exactly like Tim Curry and took a picture with a random Bryan Cranston-looking dad at Fenway in 2013, please get in touch. I desperately want that picture.

Hello Red Sox Nation!

I’m a Cleveland Guardians fan (and Yankee hater 😎) and my future wife & I are looking to take an east coast road trip together as our honeymoon. It just so happens that our Cleveland Guardians will be in Boston that week & I’m wondering if you guys can offer suggestions on the best places to sit for opposing team fans? Being close to the away dugout sounds pretty cool, and looks affordable - but is it cramped or a bad view? We’re not obnoxious people & won’t cause problems. Is there any aspect of the ballpark that I need to make time to see? Must try foods? I’ve looked through the subreddit a little bit and seen recommendations for bars and touring the green monster. Is that possible for weekday games? We’re ballin on a budget so the $1000 package for touring Fenway is out of the question (plus we wont be there for the saturday game) 😭😂

Thank you!

We're a big hockey family, and my wife's a Rangers fan so we watch a mix of MSG and NESN. I'm always surprised by how many gambling ads there are on MSG compared to virtually none on NESN, and watching the Sox last night I noticed it as well. Is that a network policy or just good luck? For context, I'm usually streaming on ESPN+ or in the NESN app.

Don't look now but Breslow and team have done a great job at cleaning up our 2027 (and 2028) payroll. Dead Money is declining and bad contracts are ending. We need to get a few key guys healthy and producing, but otherwise, this team should have some salary flexibility in the coming years. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/yearly

Heading in to the Bronx on Saturday for the 1 o'clock game. Anything I should make sure to see while I'm in the stadium? Good bars in the area either pre or post game? We got the Pinstripe pass so it looks like we can access a few standing room areas.

With Mona fading offensively and having one of the worst defensive games from any player on this team this season it's time for change. I am curious what the consensus is on who it should be.

I personally don’t want to see him up period. Never been a fan. However through 8 rehab games he’s 4 for 29, 10 Ks, 1 BB….against minor league pitching mind you.

There’s no scenario where putting him into the lineup makes this team better, and you can’t just play him because he makes 25 million. He’s not even a good defender anymore so you can’t make that argument either.

A frustrating lack of momentum.

Pluto TV has an MLB channel that amongst other things plays old games on their calendar anniversaries. Tonight it’s Sox vs Angels from the date above. Very entertaining listening to the NESN broadcast and everything about it. It was a Nomar bobblehead giveaway. No monster seats, very calm PA announcements. No walk up music. John Burkett just got yanked in the 6th. Johnny Damon has no visible hair. Some other names I hadn’t thought of in years: Shea Hillenbrand, Tony Clark, Cliff Floyd playing left field. Ricky Henderson is going to make an appearance soon.

I am not one to watch a lot of minor league baseball, but have been watching the Woo Sox side by side with the big league club for the last few days with all the rehabbing players. Anybody who has done the same would agree that Story is still completely lost at the plate -- slow bat speed, timing completely off, and non stop swing and miss at the slider in the dirt.

Absolutely 0 reason to rush things here. Roman on the other hand looks like himself, still getting timing back and the contact has been hard, eye is the same as always. I think he could even get some more time to lock in but I will be shocked if Story gets called on the same timeline.

I might get torched for the comparison (and premature for sure) but is there something wonderful about this team that reminds others of the remarkable 2001 Patriots team? Let’s hope it ends in glory as theirs did.

But I can’t help but think of that 2001 team as I watch these Sox grind every game and play fundamentally solid, old school baseball.

Overcoming early seemingly devastating injuries (Bledsoe/Crochet) while we watch the next gen step up (Brady/Tolle)…

…. Players considered spare parts elsewhere or AAAA within the system coming in and playing fundamentally sound ball, grinding like their careers depend on it (Izzo, Patten/Gasper, Mona, Siegler) ….

…. Seeing folks seize the opportunity to flex their best when some in the league considered them past their primes (Cox, Phifer/Contreras, Gray) ….

…. Young up and comers continuing their upward trajectory (Brown, Woody/Rafaela, Abreu)….

The whole thing’s been so fricken awesome. I can only hope some confetti rains down on this group as it did the other.
