2026 Red Sox/MLB Season Thread

Already a crazy start to the day today. Lowe with a 2-run HR, then Mets put up 5 on Skenes and take him out of the game all in the very first inning

And last night Logan Webb got destroyed. Nothing makes sense!

[Goldstar88]

Roman Anthony has 3 hits so far. Not too shabby.

Crochet is an absolute stud, glad we have him

I predict 90'ish wins.

I predict a RH DH type slugger will be added along the way.

I predict BOS will score more runs than it seems people think.

Get to the playoffs and you never know.

as a Brewer fan - that's been my team's philosophy for a decade.  hasn't panned out too well.

Brewers have still made some nice playoff runs, including nearly making the WS in 2018

Unfortunately it seems this is the new Sox ownership model. Do enough to basically make the playoffs or stay in the hunt, all while Fenway still gets filled with people ($$$) and meanwhile they don't go above and beyond to win like the Mets/Padres/Yankees/Dodgers, etc. (and yes I'm aware it hasn't exactly panned out for NYM/SD but I respect that they have ownership willing to try)

We have some blue chip players like Crochet, Anthony, Chapman, etc. which they can capitalize on with a few more moves around them but they just don't. Lot of reliance on young players and depth or utility guys to fill roles.
