History!
2026 Red Sox become the first team since 1901 to have the first three hitters in their order all strike out in their first three at bats of a game.
125 years!
@MikeMoran777 They have to have rules set in place to prevent teams from changing their schedules late to benefit the power ranking. The western mass tournament being part of the regular season complicates this.
Southampton NY isn’t the easiest place to get to so I might as well get this started early!

We all knew the Angels NOT trading Shohei Ohtani was a mistake.
But now seeing that there was an offer ON THE TABLE to net Junior Caminero (45 homers at 21 years old) and other prospects just makes it that much worse.
Rejected an offer to turn the franchise around to chase a <5% chance of making the playoffs.
And then in the offseason Shohei asked the Angels if they would match the Dodgers offer and they wouldn’t.
So in the end they finished 73-89 and lost him in Free Agency to the Dodgers for nothing but a draft pick.
I can’t even begin to explain what a horrible business decision that was and it will haunt the organization for decades.
Today marks 20 years since Doug Mirabelli’s wild ride, from California to Fenway in time for Yankees-Red Sox.
You might know the story.
But have you heard from the air traffic controller and the state trooper?

Negotiated with an undrafted FA one year, no agent.
I said: "Ok, we'll do minimum contract, $1,000 signing bonus."
Long pause.
Then he said: "Mr. Brandt, I only have $200, but I promise I'll get you the other $800 next week."
"No, no" I said. "We pay you!"
Bless his heart.
