    Maybe we can rehire Benny. He’s lighting it up with 4 consecutive last place finishes with the Pirates. That is his specialty. Oh, but he has a 5 year plan, so let’s see how that works out. Many like his approach. He had 3 last place finishes with the Red Sox in 4 seasons and 7 of 8 in his career. That is quite a record, but he has learned to finish last much more cheaply.

    You are entitled to your opinion. They finished last. That is on Bloom and Cora and Kennedy. Easily replaceable. Fungible executives. Buh Bye. That is what I would do if I was ownership.

    The 22 Red Sox are playing out the string in last place. I keep reading that Bloom has built up our farm, but down the stretch the only prospects getting any experience are Cassas (hitting .150) and Bello without impressive results. Where is the future. Duran only loses value as he plays more at the MLB level. Downs is a complete bust, so they don’t dare expose him any more. Who from the farm is ready to step up next season and contribute?

    players who underperform don’t stick around unless they are under multi-year contracts. The FO guys and the manager are even easier to replace. Bloom has had 3 years. Cora got 3 extra seasons for his championship. IMO, it is time to change the personnel at the top. Sam Kennedy hasn’t made a great case for staying either. Buh Bye.

    If they lose 9 of their last 11 and end up with 88 losses in last place with a $200+ million payroll, maybe the owners bring in a whole new management team.
  6. a700hitter
    That was predictable.

    If McGuire had followed up his 3 run HR with a Grand Salami, he would have been so excited that he probably would have rubbed one out on the subway ride to the hotel.

    season ending surgery.

    White Flag #2 Ort. He just doesn’t belong on a big league roster.
  10. a700hitter
    I thought that was game set match and #61.

    White Flag time — Brasier

    The Royals fired their President. Fire Bloom and give him a chance.
  13. a700hitter
    That’s my exact sentiment.
  14. a700hitter
    Why do we have such hard luck pitchers? LOL!
  15. a700hitter
    I had no reason to expect anything other than 5+ ERA Pivetta and I keep expecting him to revert. Neither has happened... yet. His ERA is lower this year than last, and he got his career ERA under 5. If he can pitch 160-170 innings with an ERA under 4.50, he’ll always have a job in some teams rotation.

    Almonte has almost 1,200 career ABs.
  17. a700hitter
    No one would describe you as shallow.
  18. a700hitter
    i didn’t wait to answer. I answered a few minutes after seeing your question.
  19. a700hitter
    Not high. I don’t think the Yankees would give us an arm with a lot of upside for some salary relief. I don’t think he will be another Whitlock if that is what people are hoping.
  20. a700hitter
    He hit the ground with a thud.
  21. a700hitter
    Barnes had imploded in the second half of 21. He did not break camp in 22 as the closer.
  22. a700hitter
    Do you have high hopes for him?
  23. a700hitter
    We will not have to see him pitch any more. That is a positive.
  24. a700hitter
    Yep, very few should make even the league minimum. None should get multi-year contracts. They are easily replaceable.
  25. a700hitter
    At the beginning of the season some posters predicted the number of innings that Wacha and Hill would throw. Does anyone remember those predictions?
