    Most people weren’t as observant as iortiz and me that season. We saw that the team had only 2 viable starters (Beckett and Lester). The others weren’t even viable. Beckett and Lester were also fading by the end of August and pitched to 5+ ERAs in September.

    A self fulfilling prophecy.
  3. a700hitter
    You didnt watch that season did you?
  4. a700hitter
    Agreed.

    Back then is when I first used the term “death spiral”. I also referred to “circling the drain” quite often. We did predict that collapse. No reinforcements were added at the end of August that year and like this season, 2011 Sox had no competent starters. They just needed to win 6 or 7 games that September, but they lost day after day and the losses were obvious by the 3rd or 4th inning each night. It was excruciating. This season will be less painful, because we probably will spiral out of contention before Labor Day.

    Don’t let the self righteous know it alls chase you away. Your posts are not offensive or defamatory.

    Arozarena is also on COVID list. I’ll take that trade off.
  8. a700hitter
    Except now they are the hunted.
  9. a700hitter
    And the same people will be mocking them as they pass the Red Sox in the standings. That makes sense... right?

    Should also ban FreddieLynn who was here in the off-season insulting people about politics. He had been banned previously too. And where has he been since we have been playing baseball. He doesn’t post or contribute. He was just an obnoxious agitator who tore this place apart. Mods dropped the ball on him. Ghost is annoying but doesn’t attack anyone other than FO and players, who are the subject of the Forum, not members of the forum. That being said, I don’t care if he comes or goes. But Freddie Boy should be gone.

    Reports are that he is working out at 1B. The last time he moved to a new position, he got injured in his second game and missed almost the entire season.

    Sure, I am giggly all day about it.
  13. a700hitter
    Fake News!

    Gallo with a 3 run HR to put the Yankees ahead in the 7th inning. It was a high pop fly Yankee Stadium HR.

    How was Rome’s starting rotation?
  16. a700hitter
    But they are very consistent.

    It was unexpected and it was great fun. I believe they could have gone deep into the post season if they were reinforced. I believed in them more than Bloom did.

    The pitching pickups have been very helpful for opponents BAs.
  19. a700hitter
    Management gave up on them, so now they will play for individual stats. And the pitching will go straight into the toilet.
  20. a700hitter
    pitch Plawecki
  21. a700hitter
    This series is a very bad omen going forward.
  22. a700hitter
    Maybe if he just turned around and threw the ball into the OF.
  23. a700hitter
    Even better.
  24. a700hitter
    FO gave up on them.
  25. a700hitter
    The death spiral has not stopped.
