    Can he pitch?

    Two years of Benny for $10 million and they pay Rusney Castillo $10 million/year for 7 years and he is stuck in mothballs in the minor leagues. Thanks Ben.

    These idiots need to shut their mouths. MLB can't be happy with this look.
  4. a700hitter
    I like that idea.
  5. a700hitter
    I think the organization is very confused about their culture right now. Lately, the behavior of the organization has been inconsistent and erratic.

    Can a robo ump tell a batter to get back in the batters box?
  7. a700hitter
    It makes you a cheater.
  8. a700hitter
    No need to worry. He'll be rehabbing in Fort Myers for most of the season.

    So they got a damaged prospect foisted upon them.

    But we could have watched one of the All-Time great Red Sox players for another season and had a better chance of being competitive in 2020. We lose Betts for 2020 and the FO has decided to throw in the towel on the season before it starts. 2020 should be a blast. It's March 13th, pitchers and catchers are reporting and they have a gaping hole in the rotation. I guess bloom thinks he will fill that hole by rolling out one garbage can after another on the 5th day. That isn't going to work.

    The whole sign stealing scandal is dumb. It's part of the game, but you can't use electronics to do it? What if I have a front row seat at Fenway and the TV monitor is right in front of me and I start calling out the signs to the Red Sox batters? They need to go to a system like football. Let the pitchers and catchers communicate electronically. There would be no signs to steal. They are debating robo umps, but electronic communication between pitchers and catchers is a no-brainer.

    An enigma.
  13. a700hitter
    I haven't noticed that.

    Poor kid.

    I know that some of you guys have pre-teen kids who like baseball. When I walk my dog, at times kids wearing Red Sox hats or shirts come over to greet the dog. I always ask them who is their favorite player. Almost every single time, the answer is Mookie Betts. Many of them are easy to identify, because they are wearing Betts shirts. It remind me of when my son was that age in the late 90's and all the kids loved Nomar. When the Sox traded Nomar, he was 30 yrs old and physically shot. Those kids who are Mookie fans are crushed.

    I wouldn’t hold my breath on Mookie coming back. The point is valid that it is very rare. Edit: Plus Mookie will find that Boston is small, overpriced and hard to get around. There are much better places to live.

    Dewey will be at Fort Myers for the duration of Spring Training. This year, I will be there at the beginning for a week. Last year, Iortiz, Dewey and I took in a couple of games together. It was a lot of fun. I missed out on seeing John Tudor last year. He is friends with the guy who sits behind Dewey. Drop us a line when you get there if for nothing more than to say hello.

    Vindicated? The larger point stands. It almost never happens. Also, she didn’t say that it never happened. She just said that she couldn’t find one.
  19. a700hitter
    When will you be down in Fort Myers?
  20. a700hitter
    When he was 50 years old?
  21. a700hitter
    I think Bloom will add some pieces before opening day. If not, the season will be an obvious tank and ticket sales will suffer.
  22. a700hitter
    Time will tell. I’d rather have watched Mookie play 1 more year for the home town team. He is one of the most exciting players to wear the Red Sox uniform and these acquired guys are not worth 1 year of Mookie to me from a fan’s perspective. Plus, we now have a gaping hole in the rotation. It is shaping up to be a forfeit of a season if Bloom doesn’t make some other moves.
  23. a700hitter
    The FO is deep into this screw up and they don't have an exit strategy. Boy Wonder Bloom got cute with a 3-team deal that has backfired. No matter how this ends up, it is a black eye. How does Mookie play for the Red Sox in 2020? That's not possible imo. The Red Sox are desperate now. This will have an ugly end and the season is being sacrificed before a single pitch has been thrown.
  24. a700hitter
    It's officially a cluster f**k.
  25. a700hitter
    Excellent point.
