    He's an average to below average pitcher who has thrown over 140 innings in a year twice in his career. He's having a good stretch and it doesn't impact the Sox in any meaningful way.

    Is it really atrocious if they are above .500?!?!? Webster's defines atrocious as savagely wicked or cruel. It's not like we're Washington Nationals fans coming off a WS championship and going 172 - 278 (.382 %). /s

    This is a bigger issue than "Michael Wacha is having a good season." Overall, Bloom hasn't put competitive teams on the field. Is he overly concerned with the bottom of the 40 man roster and not the top of it?
  4. mvp 78
    The people that are bringing him up aren't the ones saying he isn't good. The people that are bringing him up are doing so to say "why didn't Bloom re-sign him." Bloom could have signed any number of FA SP's. There weren't any posters on here yelling from the rooftops that the Sox needed to sign Wacha while the guy was languishing in FA during ST. If Wacha is really a 180 IP, sub 3.00 ERA guy, he would have been worth a QO. NOBODY thought that was a good idea when it was brought up by moon last season. Wacha isn't here. Who cares. Why keep going back to the one player doing well? Xander has struggled since April. Vaz has been bad. I don't think we need to give Bloom flowers for letting those two guys go or pan him for not keeping Wacha in hindsight.

    Houck vs German

    It was probably time for him to take a "scheduled day off" and they waited for a LHP to be the starter? IDK. As for the babying comment, I ain't going back a few pages to read all about that. You guys can hash that out on your own. The ignore feature works both ways from my experience.

    Spicy.
  8. mvp 78
    He knows so much about roster construction that he let Kiké get to 14 errors, -7 DRS, -9 OAA in only 400 innings at the most important fielding position. He was worse than Edgar Renteria in 2005! He was probably the worst Red Sox SS I've seen in my lifetime!
  9. mvp 78
    What does Wacha really have to do with the 2023 Sox or Bloom anyway? Pan him for not signing Wacha, but congratulate him for not signing deGrom or Rodon? Should we go down the list of all available FA and grade him on which guys he should or shouldn't have signed in hindsight?

    It depends on what Bloom wants to do. If he's building for the future beyond '24, it would make sense to deal Jansen if there's a substantial return. If he thinks he can't extend Verdugo, he should probably consider the same thing. Verdugo's trade value will only go down from here the closer he gets to FA. Will they already punt on '24? Doubtful as they keep telling us they are going to be competitive, but do it in a half assed manner. Most of us like the concept as presented, but not the execution. There have been some good things that Bloom has done, but lots of bad things too.
  11. mvp 78
    Cora bad
  12. mvp 78
    He said that it was a very recent thing (since 2020?) and that he went overboard with it and just recently reeled it back in a little.
  13. mvp 78
    Masataka has the same SLG as Juan Soto. His ISO is higher than Vlad Jr's right now.
  14. mvp 78
    @DanSecatore This lineup has compiled a total of 77.5 bWAR over parts of 50 cumulative seasons. That's an average of 1.5 bWAR per season. This is the lineup equivalent of Jeff Frye. I try not to get swept up in emotion when I look at lineups, but I really bristled at this one.
  15. mvp 78
    Turner has not been very good in his 33 innings at 3B. Also, he had the weird in between play where he didn't make it back to 3B for the runner a few series ago. The best alignment would be Devers at 3B and Turner at 1B.
  16. mvp 78
    Part CBO, part coaching, part players.
  17. mvp 78
    Whitlock vs Gomber Refsnyder LF, Turner 3B, Verdugo RF, Duvall DH, Arroyo 2B, K. Hernández CF, Casas 1B, Wong C, Reyes SS Bench: Devers, Mastaka, Duran, McGuire
  18. mvp 78
    Ooof. I think he probably needs to be moved to 1B in the next week or so. Dude is fat and has a baby face. Also, his binky is now in SD.
  19. mvp 78
    The problem lies in the Sox terrible PR spin that we all see through. Just say "we needed the pitcher and the tweets weren't a big enough deal to us" rather than talking about understanding people's pain or whatever the f***.

    Why is the chef doing the gardening?
  21. mvp 78
    Possible DFA/non-tender candidate?
  22. mvp 78
    And with the FA cost?!?!? Yuck!
  23. mvp 78
    At least make him Maker's Mark 46...
  24. mvp 78
    Not a chance. We don't get the top shelf stuff.
  25. mvp 78
    They have also struggled to get pitchers to excel once they get to AAA.
