7/26 vs CLE

[Swiharts Ghost]

Bloom can be blamed for some things, but he certainly can't be blamed for the plethora of injuries on this team.

I love the word 'plethora.'

 

 

Stop now !! Yes he can and he has to be because these injuries and the black hole at 1b amongst a plethora of other issues could have been addressed long long ago .He has taken a second place team and watched them run the plane head first into the concrete without making anyyyy necessary trades when it was clear t everyone that the ship was sinking again in July .

[Swiharts Ghost]

Chaim Bloom suuuuuuuuucks

[Swiharts Ghost]

Go get Sean Murphy Go Get Josh Bell Or Ian Happ go Get a starter Dooooo your f***ing Job Chaim

[moonslav59]

Moon WTF are you talking about ? Overpay WTF ???? There is no OVeRPAY it’s what he deserves and yes he’s our Derek f***ing Jeter .I am sickened by how you give this asssss hole GM a pass ! This guy has let his team go to s*** .X cannot help the Corpse Of your Bob D and your Franchy binky he can’t get the corpse of JBJ or the wildly disappointing play of Verdugo ..Barnes ? On and on .The Last Place Red Sox are on nooooooo one but Chaim Bloom man .

 

Where am I giving Bloom a pass, in the past few days?

 

Answer the point I made. If Bogey is the leader of the team and the face of the franchise, why are we in last place?

 

Why pay him what he wants, which is surely an overpay?

 

(I should have left you on ignore.)

Yes, then Bogey can lead them all to a ring- just like Jeter!

[moonslav59]

Here’s proof:

 

“ In an email exchange with Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, Red Sox owner John Henry downplays mandate to trim payroll to below $208 million. It's the middle of January, and spring training caravans are about to start their engines.”

 

Proof of what?

 

Henry is a liar?

 

Bloom chose not to spend all on his own?

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yes, then Bogey can lead them all to a ring- just like Jeter!

 

All those players are waiting at Taco Bell for Bloom to pick them up.

[moonslav59]

Aren't game threads during and after a loss so wonderful?

The downfall started when we let Tacoby Bellsbury walk.

 

Man, he was the face of the Taco Bell franchise!

Moon, compared to the shite that's happening in real life, this is insignificant.

Tacoby Bellsbury. Well played!

Truer words have never been written.

 

No doubt.

 

Sometimes, I chuckle at these threads. Sometime, I take them more seriously than anyone should.

 

I'm actually looking forward to the deadline and 2023. How nutty is that?

 

Maybe, tomorrow, I'll regret thinking that.

[moonslav59]

Tacoby Bellsbury. Well played!

 

Somebody else coined that phrase, but I thought it was fitting for the moment.

 

Man, we lost so many fans when we let him walk.

You're a great SOX fan and you provide valuable info. You have nothing to regret. Good night.

 

Btw, I still don't like WAR.

Proof that Henry has ordered Bloom to get the payroll down. No one lied. It was a business decision by a guy worth $3,5 billion dollars.

One listen to "Why Can't We Be Friends," and you'll be a convert.

Ok, I misread your implication.

 

BTW, it's not the first or only time Henry put the brakes on spending- sometimes for 2-3 year spurts.

Current salary is around $230m I believe. So Bloom has to find a salary dump of about $22m.

Not gonna field a competitive team that way.

Every championship team in every sport has a strong bench to cover for injuries which happen, to blame every loss on an injury is for losers, if you blame losses on injuries what are you going to blame when you get rid of star players, same thing. All starts with front office then trickles down

Finally, a reasonable post. It wouldn't fit in on moonslob's unrealistic threads though.

Their LOW RIDER is a stone cold classic.

Welcome to the cellar, we keep losing games

We can't field the ball honey, you know the names

We are the people that can't hit whenever we may need

If you got the money, honey, we got your two seats

 

In the cellar, welcome to the cellar

Watch it bring you to your sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees

Mwah, I, john henry wanna watch you bleed

 

Welcome to the cellar, we lose here day by day

If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the high price you'll pay

And you're a very Swansea girl who's very hard to please

You can taste the fenway dogs but you won't get there for free

In the cellar, welcome to the cellar

Drink my, my, my, my my moonshine

Ooh, ah, I want to hear you scream

 

Welcome to the cellar, it gets worse here every day

You learn to live like a fenway rat in the shithole where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually

You won't have what you want but you better not expect it for free

 

In the cellar, welcome to the cellar

Watch it bring you to your sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-knees, knees

Mwah, chaim gonna watch you bleed

 

And when you're high, you never ever wanna come down

So down, so down, so down, yeah

 

You know where you are?

You're in the cellar, baby, you're gonna cry

In the cellar, welcome to the cellar

Watch it bring you to your sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-knees, knees

In the cellar, welcome to the cellar

Drink my, my, my my, my moonshine

Cellar, welcome to the cellar

Watch it bring you to your sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-knees, knees

Down In the cellar, welcome to the cellar

Watch it bring you to you

It's gonna bring you down, huh

$16 is Price. We may be able to save $6M on DH going from JD to _____.

 

The rest just needs to be replaced with equal dollars, minus arb raises.

 

We lose 9 contracts- some won 't be missed. Some were good players who were hurt or underperformed, this year.

 

Lux Tax $$$M

22 JD

20 Bogey

17 Eovaldi

7 Kike

7 Vaz

7 Wacha

5 Hill

3 Strahm

2 Plawecki

Let JBJ go, and that's another $12M. Maybe find a way to dump some of Diekman(4) and Barnes (9)deals.

 

There should be some ways to rebuild stronger than we are now, but Bloom needs to be at his best.

 

[Tedballgame]

Only 3 starters guaranteed for next year are Story 2B/SS, Verdugo LF and Devers 3B. Every other position is a question mark depending who they trade and/or don't re-sign. They will have money to spend but they are going to have to spend in order to have a competitive team.
