Theo built the team from scratch? He didn’t bring in Pedro or Manny or Trot Nixon or DLowe or Varitek. And he gave up a bigger prospect than DD ever did when he traded Hanley who had and excellent career.
Moncada? Kopech? Margot? Really? That has you so upset. Who were the other future everyday players that he gave away? And he brought back Sale (a top 5 pitcher) and Kimbrel (a likely Hall of Famer). I think those were pretty good trades.
But we must hate and revile the man who was at the helm for 3 consecutive Division titles which had never been done before by the Red Sox and we will have or live a long time if we want to see it again. He also was at the helm of the winningest most dominant Red Sox championship team in history. He deserves scorn, because he traded Moncada and and few other nobodies.
Tonight was a good start. Sale should destroy the O’s tomorrow. Then we will need to see good Erod for a sweep. That will give the team some confidence and momentum and hopefully Bloom gets rid of Robles.
I am not expecting a lot of help from him. Dave caught lightning in a bottle with him in ‘18. It’s well past the time that he he should have gone back to moving furniture.
But my prediction was wrong and the Red Sox are not going to lose 90 games and they were in first place after 100 games. Do you consider that to be a shambles? Nice try.
He left in 2019 and the team was in first place after 100 games in 2021 after a bad shortened 2021. I’d hardly call that a shambles, and DD would have gotten the horses to make the stretch drive. He wins wherever he goes. Bloom can only dream of having that career.
Bloom’s judgment has to be called into question regarding the bullpen arms he acquired. These were not additions. They are negatives who have hurt the team. Robles has always been a bum and Davis is a complete nonentity. I’d have preferred to stick it out with Workman. These bums were not an improvement and anyone familiar with Workman and Robles should have known that.
The Sox radio guys said this also and flat out stated that Robles shouldn’t be on the team.
This game shows us nothing. The Rays trotted a pig to the mound and let him get clubbed. Cash wasn’t going To make much of an effort to win this game. It’s a lot better than losing, but I don’t think this signals a stop to the death spiral.
