Perfect quote by Mac: “The 2026 Red Sox season can be best described as a trip around the merry-go-round. They went up, down, around and around, and when the ride was over the team found itself right back where it started.”

I have no issues with a shorter season (good luck getting to 61 HRs!), but having the higher playoff seed choose which team to play? Don’t see that ever happening. I do see smarter initial playoff seeding and re-seeding happening based on records, though.

MLB proposes shorter regular season, best-of-7 Division Series

Major League Baseball proposed to shorten the regular season to 154 games from 162 games starting in 2029 and to expand the Division Series to best-of-seven in bargaining with players.

99% of those remaining watching the playoffs are simply rooting for the Dodgers to lose, right?

With the failures of Mayer, Campbell, and Anthony (yes, Anthony), and it’s not like Teel and B. Montgomery are tearing things up for the White Sox, should the Sox sell high on Arias in a blockbuster?

Never mind #2, as I just read your article from a few today’s ago on this topic. Thanks!

Who else saw the stat that, combined, the Dodgers and Braves are 1-28 w/RISP in their series. Those are numbers Sox fans can understand! But all 10 runs by the Dodgers so far all from homers? That’s something foreign to us.

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Chris Sale starting in one playoff game tonight, and Nick Pivetta in the other. In other news, Schlittler loses to the Rays and the Yanks are one game from going home!

1. What are the odds Duran is non-tendered, or traded for pennies on the dollar, and then turn to pursue Randy Arozarena? 2. What surprises might be in store when the 40 man roster is reset?

Pulling Gray was clearly a mistake, but it didn’t matter because the offense was horrific. That’s not on Tracy. What reporters should be hounding Tracy about is why he still trusted Miller when he clearly had lost his magic the last couple of weeks.

If this is the kind of comment that gets one to run the Red Sox, I should have been running the Red Sox years ago.

“104 win pace after July 1”?? That is a JOKE, and Breslow knows it. The Sox had an incredible 32-5 stretch and then were under average, and worst offense in MLB in September. Breslow is blatantly lying to the fans with that statement, and he knows it.

010

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Sox were the worst offense in MLB in September. Literally, the worst. There is nothing surprising about their offense here. And their starting pitching did just fine. The only surprising thing was how badly their relief pitching got shellacked!

010

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Those stats pretty much describe everyone in September.

#RedSox scored 71 runs in September, the 2nd-fewest in any month of 20+ games over the past 100 BOS seasons. Only September 1966 was lower (70). The last AL team to score fewer than 71 runs in a month of 24+ games was the 2018 #Royals, with 58 in June.

Let’s assume Gray wants to keep pitching for 1 or 2 more years. Clearly his $30M option won’t be picked up, but the Sox have to still pay $10M buyout. Would Sox offer 2 yrs at $20M/per? Would any club offer that? Would Gray accept it?

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The 32-5 run was the aberration - the rest of the season was the real Sox team this year. How the hell did they go 32-5??

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Contreras upset with how Tracy used analytics, and now Sonny. I 100% agree with Sonny here, but nothing mattered in the end because the offense was the worst in baseball (literally) from Sep 1 onward. But Tracy goes from hero to goat (not GOAT) just like that.

000

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Absolute BRUTAL takedown by Contreras on the Red Sox use of analytics: “At the end of the day, it’s not about data. It’s about executing the game plan.” #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Well, Red Sox Nation, it was an incredible ride this year! From the lowest of lows to the highest of highs and back. The offense will have lots of time to figure out what happened as the lockout will impact the start of the 2027 season. It can’t get any worse for them. Good night! #redsox

Bright spot? Give me Sogie! He can go into the offseason feeling really good about himself. #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

OK, no way to put a positive spin on this disaster of an inning. It’s over. Tough to lose this badly in both games. Bullpen fail. Offense fail. Starting pitching was excellent. Lots of things for the press to talk about all off-season, though. #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Crochet will be having nightmares all off-season about this appearance, which will only make him stronger! #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t care. I love seeing a healthy Crochet on the mound. Defensive meltdown: 1. Adley takes to long to throw to 1st on the K 2. Contreras with terrible non-stretch 3. Horrendous throw to 2nd on the steal attempt #redsox

000

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Good point by the broadcasting crew calling out how Contreras was way out of position to grab the throw from Rutschman, thus allowing the runner to be safe.

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

We can’t even celebrate Crochet’s K to his first batter. 🙁 #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

We’re about to see Crochet in a game for the first time in forever. I don’t care how he does, it’s 1 inning too late. #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

A run? What?!? Huh?! What’s that straight line in the ‘runs’ column for the Red Sox?!? #redsox

020

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

If the Red Sox somehow come back to win this game, please don’t ever pitch Miller again. Need a lefty? Bring in Crochet!

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

At this point, it would be better to have Mayer back.

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Stupid stupid stupid to pull Gray and put in Miller. Did Tracy even watch the game last night?

000

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

OK, not a problem. Red Sox still on pace to win this game 2-1. Glass half full! #redsox

If the Red Sox are going to miraculously win this series, it will be by scores of 1-0 and 2-1. Also remember that in 2004, the Yankees destroyed the Sox in G3 to go up 3-0 in that series… #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

So happy for the White Sox and all the ex-Red Sox on that team. Genuinely happy. And it has the bonus of sending the Astros packing with their tails between their legs!

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but apparently Roman is just as injury prone as Mayer. #redsox

Including last night, the Red Sox have scored 13 runs in their last 9 games. That’s 1.44 runs per game. ONE-POINT-FOUR-FOUR! 😡 #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

So… not what we wanted, but not an unexpected outcome for the Red Sox. Gray and Suarez are equally capable of shutting down the Yanks through 6 or 7, and our top relievers are available. But none of that matters as it’s all about the offense. It’s what we’ve been saying all month long. #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Wow, it’s the Ben Rice show tonight! Wow! But it still counts as just 1 win in the series. #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

That was one hell of a play by Sogard to turn that double play. Too bad it likely won’t mean anything, but still need to celebrate it. Sox down 4-0 going T8. #redsox

wcbosox.bsky.social @wcbosox.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Bruins just scored 3 goals in 1:15 with under 4 minutes to play to beat the Rangers 3-0, so maybe that (plus 1) can carry over to the Red Sox right now? Anything’s possible! #redsox
