We have gone over all this many times over. You analyze things the way that you need, and want to, and there is nothing wrong with that. I on the other hand analyze things the way I need, and want to, and there is nothing wrong with that either. I could care less how Bogey’s D metrics stack up against all the other SS in baseball. All I care about is that he is good enough for me to play SS for the Boston Red Sox. Same thing with Vaz I could care less what his D metrics say on how good he his compared to the rest of the league. He for me was good enough to be the C of the Boston Red Sox., so I have never said the good old eye test is the best way to analyze things, but I have said it is good enough for me much to your chagrin, and I’m not going to change my opinion no matter how many times you bring the eye test up. It obviously is wrong for you, but not wrong for me.

 

I'm fine with everything said here. I also know I can and will never stop you from strawman building and just plain wrong intrepations of what words mean, but I will continue to point them out as long as you keep doing it, "mush to your chagrin."

 

 

[Old Red]

You absolutely didn’t like my prediction of Gallo. You’ve said it’s wrong multiple times. Ok - let’s hear your prediction? Or heck, your preference. It’s all fine out here in Anonymous Internet Forum Land…

 

I don’t make predictions, because I’m bad at it. My preference definitely would be to have a OF alignment for the Red Sox next year of Gallo in RF, JBJ in CF, and Renfroe in LF. Can Bloom make it happen?

And I will point out every time you over analyze, and interpret things wrong, which you have done many times over much to your chagrin. Mush?

I think you’ll be equally disappointed with Gallo in RF, Hernandez in CF and whoever in LF…

It's funny how you call being exposed for not know what simple words mean as overanalyzing.

 

Yes, I do misinterpret what others say, too, and gladly correct myself as soon as possible.

 

Occasionally, I make typos, too- mush to your chagrin.

No over analyzing is saying I HATED CORA, which was 100% not true, and that was the best example of all. You’ve also been wrong a lot more times that you have corrected yourself. Of course you would have to know you were wrong in the first place, and lots of times you don’t think that, so of course you are the last one to know.

Well, maybe you hated Cora, but you’ll learn to live Gallo

That was over a year ago, and I apologized right away. You've brought it up dozens of times, but always leave out the apology part.

 

You have a weekly example, and at times almost daily.

 

BTW, we still know you dislike Cora, although you haven't come out and said it, so maybe I wasn't so wrong, afterall... just maybe.

Once again you don’t know s***, and over analyzing once again. Like I keep saying MR. Wrong MR. wrong they keep playing your song. I said I never would have hired Cora back, and I don’t think he’s as good a manager as some think on here, but I like Cora, and have even posted that before. You apologizing for the Cora statement isn’t the point. The point is you analyzed a statement, and come to a wrong conclusion, and still continue to do it. If you didn’t over analyze in the first place you might not have got it so wrong. I have no problem voicing my opinion, and if I didn’t like Cora I would have no problem saying so.

I have no problem with you disliking Cora as our manager. Stop overanalyzing (lol). I didn't mean dislike him as a person, silly! You dislike him as a manager, and it's good to see you own up to it, for once.

 

There is hope for you yet. Now, off to bed. The street lights will come on soon.

Yes, I apologized for making a wrong conclusion. I said you hated Cora. I was wrong. You don't hate him: you just dislike him as a manager.

 

Where am I continuing being wrong?

 

I'll gladly apologize, if I am still getting it wrong.

I said I dislike Cora as a manager? News to me. By saying I don’t think Cora is as good a manager as some people think does not mean I dislike him as a manager. I think some on here have overrated Cora, and I just not going to do that. Nice try though to try, and put words to my name.Now I disliked Cora as a manager I would say I don’t think Cora is a good manager. It’s not that hard to understand unless you are looking for something completely different. It’s kind of like where you know I stand on Bloom. No doubt.

If this sounds like you like him as a manager, I'd hate to see what you write about managers you like:

 

I never would have hired Cora back, and I don’t think he’s as good a manager as some think on here.

[moonslav59]

BTW, did I say you said you disliked Cora as a manager?

No, I said you dislike him. It's called inference. You do it all the time, except you are wrong more than right- as in your strawman construction company.

I know you think you are, but you are not the word police, or the interpreter on here if you was you would have been fired long ago for your incompetence. You showed your true side when you said ERod was in a mental institution. Real class, or lack of. How insensitive that comment was, and not funny at all.

Words have meaning. Some need context.

The staff at The Athletic lists the Red Sox among six potential landing spots for top free agent Aaron Judge:

 

https://theathletic.com/3742516/2022/10/31/aaron-judge-free-agent-destinations/

 

Subscription required but here is an excerpt:

Meanwhile, the lineup lacked its customary pop, as the club hit just 155 homers, 10th among American League teams. Adding power to next year’s team is a priority. So pursuing Judge would seem like the perfect fit, right? It should be — and it still might be — but adding in the outfield isn’t the only big hole the Red Sox have to fill this winter.

The Seattle Mariners were not on the list despite Aaron Judge's reported positive interaction this year with Julio Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr.:

 

Aaron Judge, Julio Rodríguez exchange signed gear

WWW.MLB.COM

---

SEATTLE -- Julio Rodríguez was about to duck from the home dugout into the batting cage to take more swings as he works his way back from a right wrist contusion. But first, he said: “We’re about to make a trade.” Say what? The Trade Deadline has passed? No, it

 

 

Seattle fans should be careful what they wish for in an expensive, long-term contract.

[Old Red]

Well, I'd rather Xander AND Raffy combined than Judge.

 

Agree, but if JH doesn’t want to open up his checkbook very far they won’t get any of the above.

But would you prefer Devers and Judge over that pair? Even taking into account Judge’s potentially exorbitant contract?

[mvp 78]

That's quite the 1-2 punch. It's like running Manny/Ortiz out there again.

 

If the owner is ok with going over the lux tax, I'd do it. I'd be more confident in Judge than some of the other FA's out there.

 

Hard to say "yes" when I don't know what the final $$$ amount is. My interest is piqued though.

[mvp 78]

Agree, but if JH doesn’t want to open up his checkbook very far they won’t get any of the above.

 

Would that be Bloom's fault or Henry's?

[Old Red]

Would that be Bloom's fault or Henry's?

 

I think you would have to know all the facts to make that determination, but I would lean towards Henry’s.

Well, that will never be the case. Whenever someone leaves the Sox, you only get the pro-Sox POV.

 

Tito

Theo

Farrell

Dombrowksi

 

All were dragged once they left. Cora and Bloom will eventually be dragged too. It's how this ownership works. It's why they bought the Globe.

True, and I think Tito got dragged more Than anybody. They bought the Globe, but they haven’t harnessed Shaugnessy, and he’s Henry’s biggest critic.
