For the record, below are the top 20 ranked players in the Red Sox Minor League System on the day that Dave Dombrowski was hired and what has happened to them since then. Apologies in advance for the formatting issues, not sure how to include a table in here. Since he was hired, the Red Sox have tra...

I consider it short-term because, in making trades of that magnitude, you should be a championship contender after those trades or at least have the flexibility to still acquire a player if needed in-season. The Red Sox, as currently construed, are not a championship contender. Remember, after all t...

It’s just a message board, that’s all. Making it big was WPRI news, the PROJO ran articles on it, story was on the wires for all to read nationally and internationally, written up the a policeman was hit, not good press. But I don’t see where this board made too big a deal of it. The lesson to be l...

I'll admit that Pomeranz has exceeded my expectations since arriving in Boston. However, the innings total on the season and the inability to go deep into games falls on Pomeranz, not the manager. Pomeranz consistently runs his pitch count too high early in the game and prevents himself from consis...

To be fair, the conversation with Farrell in the dugout came after Pomeranz threw 97 pitches through 4 innings. He was consistently getting pulled because his pitch counts were rising way too high early in the game. He needs to be more efficient when he pitches and go deeper into games in order to ...

I am a big Stanton fan, but I don't want any part of a trade for him. Instead, I'd rather see them sign JD Martinez in free agency. Martinez has arguably been a better offensive player than Stanton over the past few seasons and will only cost money (and much less money than Stanton costs), not prosp...

Looks like the carousel could be getting very active in the coming days and weeks. I think we're going to wind up seeing a lot of interim coaches this year.

Pitino the first to get canned. What's going to be interesting is there will be lots of high profile coaches on the market next year looking to get new jobs and restore their reputations I don't think these guys are going to wind up getting second chances.

I don't think there's any way that Pitino makes it out of this unscathed. Too much smoke around that program now for him to be able to plead ignorance and keep his job.

Will this be a problem going forward? As long as we aren't involved in this, our relationship with Adidas shouldn't hurt ...

Article mentions the All-American player as Brian Bowen, who committed to Louisville. Not a good look for Rick Pitino and Bruce Pearl, both of whom have had run-ins with the NCAA and whose programs are being linked to this. Will be interesting to follow this and see what comes of it.

The Narragansett Times has updated their website with the article that was mentioned earlier today, in which the player's name was mentioned.

There was one specifically (the 12 men on the field penalty), where he just threw the ball up in the air to see if his receiver could make a play. Can't remember the other interception or the penalty that got it nullified.

The issue was more with the electronics, and not the sign stealing. MLB has rules is place that makes using electronic devices in the dugout illegal. My guess is that the team will be fined and that will be the end of it.

A big part of the strength of the URI backcourt is that it goes beyond EC and JT. Including Jarvis, Dowtin and Stan gives us a lot more quality depth in the backcourt, which in my opinion, makes the backcourt better than that of the other A10 teams.

I tried to see if I could narrow the possibilities down by identifying teams that have won 20 games in each of the last 2 years.

Who is this core group that is fine with an inferior product? Anyone who has consistently gone to games over the past 5, 10 or 15 years. So the best way to support the team is to not go to games?

Is this article really accurate? Unless I'm misunderstanding, the article seems to suggest that our athletic department is turning a profit and that we don't field an FCS football team.

Speaking of Cheringtons mistakes. Jed Lowrie would be a really good addition for the team. Not only would he be a really nice upgrade at 3b but he is cheap, can play SS, 2b, or 3b, and comes with a team option for 6m next year. He could be a great super IF sub next year as well as insurance incase ...

With regards to Travid Ford, shouldn't he be grouped with DH in terms of A10 experience? Counting his days at UMass, he is going into his 5th season as a coach in the A10.

I'm thinking that Preston is going to be part of the starting 5.
