If only we still had Reese McGuire. BluBaughs would be annihilated.

Newcomb as an opener this year: 10.2 IP 0.84 ERA, 1.79 FIP, 0.75 WHIP. Use him to get through Yordan and let Sandlin or Fedde get innings 2-4/5.

I had a hot run there for a minute earlier this year, but after my first loss I chose to step down from gamethread duties due to fear of becoming the next Ron.

Yeah, I will always be a big fan of Frank, but he has always been insecure and the other things that go along with being an insecure person. I think it's easy enough to chalk it up to his background or whatever so it's not like I think he's a bad person or something, but it's hard to deny even if he has sometimes been right to point some of the fingers that have been pointed. Some of the fingers pointing at him were right too.

I still would start Sandlin and just have him on a short leash and only expect him to go 2. Or I see us opening with Newcomb

SOXTEMBER 2026

Today the bears announced no roster moves, so Caleb will not be put on IR

So Caulfield made up the probables?

LFG! Take us to October!!!

Bullpen vs. Bullpen

Let's get that W, folks

Just luck. I don't like the idea of Ron but what are we gonna do lol

The Sox have a really good record when Fedde pitches 3+ innings in any role. Something like 19-9.

Has that been the criteria in the past or are you just looking for a lucky charm ? We're hardly ever in the playoffs so I have no idea if its Ron because he had the last winning game thread accidentally or what . A Mod needs to step up here and provide some direction .

Finally voted.

Frank has always seemed soft and easily offended.

Fucking beat me to it. @ron883

They did do a national search the last time and Schriff was not the first pick. I know of a few people who got a very close look. Wonder if they will be considered this time around again.

Just walk Alvarez.

I vote anyone that voted "No, the Sox miss the playoffs" isn't allowed to make a playoff game thread.

Antonacci?

The rudest interaction I ever had at Soxfest was with the Chairman of the Board himself. What a grouch.

If Will insists on an opener I'd like to see if be Hagen. Let's see what this kid is made of in a big spot. It's not like we have a ton of better options and he's been lights out this year and I don't trust Fedde to get through Yordan in the first.
