    In order: 1. Henry 40% owns the checkbook, he set the initial limitations the put them on the downward spiral 2. Bloom 30% no plan up the middle or for starting rotation, messed up trading deadline last season 3. Coaching 20% got caught with pants down in O's series, fire Dave Bush, players do not seem prepared ever 4. Players 9% small sample size, but you still at least have to show up and compete 5. Youk 1% he's terrible
  2. mvp 78
    No, because CERA is a nonsense stat and the sample size is extraordinarily small anyway.
  3. mvp 78
    IDK, I just don't see it with Murphy. Why was he protected on the 40 man? No way is he better than Thaddeus Ward.
  4. mvp 78
    Lawsuit if an overserved patron kills someone. Get that cash tho.
  5. mvp 78
    To be fair, he mentioned letting JBJ and Vaz go, not letting Betts and Bogey go. There's a big difference between keeping those tiers of players. I've been out on Henry ever since they let Mookie go. Not extending Bogey after 2021 was a HUGE mistake. If the FO has a plan, it's not obvious what it is.
  6. mvp 78
    If the worst thing they did was leave Devers hitting 3rd, I think everything would be fine. That's basically shopping for a new house and complaining about the color of the bathroom walls.
  7. mvp 78
    It's why I was flabbergasted when I saw it in Spring Training. It made little sense then. RF? LF? Ok. SS? No. Bloom just had no clue on how to fill the gaping holes up the middle. Starting rotation? What's that?
  8. mvp 78
    You see, there's a budget he has to manage to, PLUS we don't want to have worry about another cliff!
  9. mvp 78
    It makes no sense to trade Devers AFTER signing him to the big contract. He has way less trade value now.
  10. mvp 78
    I didn't say he was a good CFer. His injury wasn't caused by him playing out of position though.
  11. mvp 78
    His arm was a known issue...
  12. mvp 78
    To be fair, Bloom added Schwarber and Renfroe, but just let them leave. Duvall looked like he could have replaced Renfroe's production. Duvall didn't get injured because he was out of position. He could have been hurt running in on that same ball in LF or RF. He's a former GG winner. He's not some schlub. It's not like he was injured playing 3B or something.
  13. mvp 78
    Less than 100 PA's in that sample size. Last year in AAA: LHP: 967 OPS RHP: 798 OPS
  14. mvp 78
    I'd rather have McGuire, Anthony and Crawford than Houck.
  15. mvp 78
    I think EVERYONE wanted a SS. Kiké wasn't the ideal option. As a fallback plan during the season, it's ok, but not going into it.
  16. mvp 78
    In 2020, NESN went out of their way to talk up Springs as a late inning arm and potential closer. The Sox liked his spin rate and whiff %. I'm still surprised that they gave up on him, but stuck with some of the junk they kept around early on in 2021.
  17. mvp 78
    I'm glad you can admit when you're wrong about something.
  18. mvp 78
    There's been a lot. He makes some good choices, follows it up with a bad choice, then gets shown up a year later. Picks up Springs and then trades him to the Rays. Yikes. Picks up Martin Perez and then lets him go to the Rangers. Attempts (?) to re-sign Xander, but signs Story instead. Xander leaves for the Padres. Story gets injured. Xander hits lots of dingers. Yikes. Trades Vaz to HOU. Vaz wins a ring. Vaz wants to re-sign with the Sox. Bloom says no. Vaz is currently catching a great staff in MN. To fill (?) the hole at SS, Bloom puts Kiké there and signs Duvall (primarily a RFer) to play CF. Duvall gets injured. There is no depth up the middle. Signs oft-injured Paxton for 2 years. Paxton stays injured. Bloom gets his pants pulled down in the Rule 5 draft. Calls up Dalbec to play SS (?) because he can probably fake it. He boots the first ball. He just makes the weirdest most daft decisions. I said he'll probably get fired at the Memorial Day BBQ. We'll see.

    Yeah, can't get any ballgames when you get near the beach. If my office was directly across from the beach, I certainly wouldn't be able to follow the Sox anymore. Enjoy your break. If the Sox go on a streak while your gone, mojo says you can't come back.
  20. mvp 78
    Houck and Duran gets it done for O'Neill and De Jong.
  21. mvp 78
    You wanted Dalbec at SS yesterday. Don't try to cover your tracks and slink out the door the morning after, sir.
  22. mvp 78
    Game 1: Wentz LHP Game 2: Boyd LHP Game 3: Fleming LHP Game 4: McClanahan LHP Random? No. What do all these pitchers have in common??? What did I say above about how they are splitting the time with these catchers? Did you hit your head this morning? Should I call a doctor for you? Do you need medical attention?
  23. mvp 78
    Sounds like buzzarding to me.
  24. mvp 78
    Oh no, not that! Anything but that! Must commit seppuku after I finish the monthly financials today. Using CERA for an argument over a 4 series stretch? Looking at catcher usage over a 4 series stretch as a barometer for what will happen for the whole season? C'mon man! Bloom is just as likely to throw Dalbec there at some point to increase his trade value.
  25. mvp 78
    Considering that the manager is bad mouthing O'Neill in the press, you could probably get that package for less.
