They'll explain Drohan's rise on the next podcast.
-
His downfall was blowing it up only to sign Pablo, Hanley and go with whatever that 2015 rotation was.
-
If you just put it on a tee for an MLB hitter, it's going to go far.
-
You have to. He has the job. Otherwise, you're just packing it in until he's fired.
-
A good GM would get prospect that are not "average" for Xander or Betts.
-
As always, it's just a wait and see until Memorial Day. No harm in complaining though.
-
Will look forward to Speier's next book: KaBloom: How the Red Sox Blew Up Their Historic Franchise...
-
I also completely understand why some people have hated Bloom from day one. He has no personality, got hosed on the Betts trade and looked absolutely foolish in 2020. If there was a carry over from 2021 into 2022, maybe there'd be an argument that Bloom is THE guy? Right now, his future is murky at best. Aside from tanking a short season to get Mayer and selecting Whitlock, what has he done?
-
I don't know if anyone can really say for sure what Henry is thinking.
-
It shouldn't take 10 years. 6 at most. They had enough talent to deal that they could have restocked the farm system early on.
-
Look, it's hard to not want to win as many games as possible every year. I get it. I don't fault posters that wanted to try for the playoffs last season. To me, it just seemed like the team was treading water and Bloom's whole plan was to build for the future. Right now, it's unclear how he's building a future? He's hoarding average prospects. I'm not sure that gets the job done. I agree with the theory of what was proposed, I don't agree with its execution.

@alexspeier The Red Sox are giving up a ton of homers - 12 through 5 games. They’ve noted that the ball is flying at Fenway. But that issue has been made way worse by the fact that their pitchers lead MLB in meatball percentage Great job!
-
We've discussed this ad nauseam, I believe. He's following the Ben Cherington trajectory. It depends on if Henry is ok with it. If I'm the owner, I'm not happy with it.
-
Even with some one year deals, what will Bloom replace them with? More old starting rotation guys on one year deals?
-
Also the adage of "pitching wins championships" since Bloom is allergic to building a rotation.

April 4: Pirates at Red Sox
mvp 78 replied to moonslav59's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Chang was great in the WBC. LFG!!!! -
Agree.
-
I asked it before. Wonerment?
-
Why hasn’t Bloom brought over developmental guys from TBR?
-
Stinks like a poopy diaper.
-
Yes, it's only been 4 games. 1. I'm only worried about Arroyo, because he's never been good enough to be a starter. 2. The starting rotation has looked bad and needs to show improvement the next time through or there is a HUGE problem.
-
When the exit velocity of your HR is 106 MPH, but it's still called WIND BLOWN... SMDH...
-
Because the Sox said for a long time that they wanted Xander. Then Xander went to the Padres. Then then the Sox said Story would be the SS. Then then then Story got hurt. Posters were speculating at the time period of the first sentence.
-
If Trey Ball did work out, Bloom wouldn't have re-signed him anyway.
-
To get Alcantara from the Marlins, the Sox would have to give up Mayer, Rafaela, Bello and Houck. How much do the Sox really believe in Mayer?
