Month: March 2016

Lefty and Righty are Back for 2016!

Well, at least Brock is happy to see us again. (Boston Herald/Matt Stone)

Welp. We may have dropped the ball a little bit over the offseason. Fortunately for us, we have a readership of almost zero, so no harm done, really. But hey, it’s baseball season again, and that means literally months of slogging through the middle innings of games that are already hopelessly out of reach. FEEL THE EXCITEMENT.

In all seriousness, though, this year’s version of the Red Sox can’t possibly be worse than the 2015 edition (right?). So Lefty and Righty are back to bring you all the Red Sox analysis you can handle, and if last year’s output is any indication, probably much more than you would ever actually want. But wait! Can you expect changes from Lefty and Righty this year? Maybe! Changes may include:

  • A shift away from game-by-game recaps. I know, you’re pretty broken up that we won’t be delving into the minutiae of every single Red Sox game this season. How will you cope? But this means more time to think about the content we want to post and less of me waking up at 3:15 in the morning slouched over my laptop. It’s a win-win. Look for posts for each series instead of every game from now on.
  • We’ll pay you to read our website! Just kidding. I’m actually not even sure that would work.
  • More roster analysis. Especially because Boston’s success this year is going to have a lot to do with its roster construction.
  • Less Don Orsillo. Sigh.
  • More Rich Hill analysis. Yes, I know he’s on the A’s now. But I’ve been saying that the Sox were idiots all winter not to re-sign him, and he’s gone ahead and walked 12 batters and given up 10 hits over 7 and 2/3 innings in spring training, and I need to find out if I’m an idiot or what.
  • More blogs about other Boston teams. The Celtics are super fun to watch, the Bruins are going to make the playoffs, and the NFL Draft is coming up. So you can, at the very least, expect us to deliver some uninformed content about the hockey playoffs.

In terms of what you can expect over the next week, we’ll break down the roster once it’s been finalized, and we’ll have a preview of Boston’s first series of the season, a 3-game trip to Cleveland. And then we just write a few more posts, bingo bango, we’re famous. Should be fun!
