If he is dumb, but I wouldn't count on it.

I think Jeter bites at a package that include Bradley and Bogaerts and not much else.
-
LOL!!! That's because you are a good baseball poster and you limit it to baseball.
-
Stay away. Ankles are tricky and can really become chronic.

Announcement to Season Ticketholders [TABLE=width: 500, align: center] [TR] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Dear Season Ticket Holders,Today we announced that John Farrell will not return as Red Sox manager in 2018. Sometimes organizations need change to improve and now is that time. This morning, we met with John to express our deep appreciation for all he has contributed to the Boston Red Sox including 2 World Series Championships and 4 Division titles in his 9 years as pitching coach and manager. John has become a friend to many of us and he will be missed. There is a sign in our clubhouse that reads, "We play for championships." While this season we fell short of our ultimate goal, there is a lot to be excited about as we look ahead. The work towards that goal in 2018 is already underway. Thank you again for being an integral part of the Red Sox family. We are grateful to each of you for your ongoing belief, commitment, and support. Sincerely,Sam Kennedy [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] -
IDK, as I said, I don't listen to them, but yesterday was brutal. They mocked his terminology interminably. They said that the players hated him and that he let Price ruin the clubhouse and on and on.

Not Ausmus, please.

I almost never listen to WEEI except for game broadcasts, but yesterday i was listening on the way home and they were s***ing hard on Farrell, especially Merloni. Until then, I really didn't think Farrell was going to get fired, but they went after him hard. After listening, I thought that they would not have gone after him that hard if they didn't have some inside information. Maybe they are always like that. As I said, i never really listen to WEEI.

And they never provide us with any attribution. Lacking in journalistic integrity.
-
Unlike the David Price situation, we have no contractual entanglements that would negatively impact our budget and payroll at TS.
-
Whoever comes in will need the support of the front office when the manager is inevitably challenged by the players. If the FO doesn't back the new manager, he will be neutered and useless.
-
You are entitled to your opinion... But I am a must read. Now, on your way. LOL!!
-
Stanton?
-
Agreed. He has no chronic condition or injury.
-
4 months from now. Who will we not see in Ft Myers?

I am really warming to your idea of Ortiz being the new manager, but but I don't see it happening. This group of players is highly paid with a sense of entitlement, and with sour puss Price as the prominent voice almost any new manager will have no chance of getting control of the place. Ortiz would command the clubhouse. Players would respect him, and if he loses his temper, they would sit up and pay attention. Having no managerial experience, he would need the support of a very experienced coaching staff. -
There has been a lack of assimilation by some, not many but by some. And yes, 2 years should have been enough time. Time is up.
-
Maybe, but the early exit sealed his fate.
-
I have not misrepresented the fact that you come here to be argumentative and obnoxious with posters using arguments that can only be characterized as inane and stupid.
-
LOL! No, no poll necessary, and most of them (BDC) are good some are excellent. If it starts to get ugly around here, I put my trust in the judgment of Youk.
-
Maybe we can get a third base coach whose arms and voice work, but we will all miss Butter's spring training charts and no one got to the ballpark earlier, except the groundscrew... who have a bigger impact on the team.
-
He probably attributed BDC reaction to Talk Sox. He wasn't here when Tito got fired.
-
I was mad at the players in 2011 too. They disrespected the manager and the organization by the way they behaved, but the truth is that even the best managers have a shelf life. Tito's had expired, because he lost the clubhouse. Even he knew that it was time to go.
-
lol!!!
-
That really didn't take long. Usually teams wait until the World Series ends. LOL!! No big loss. The players were getting too comfortable seeming not to care. That wasn't my perception. I thought these guys gave it their best, but others perceived a lack of heart and effort. I guess they were right. Also, the comments after the game by the players were disappointing. To say that they took losing in stride would be an understatement.
