    The Mets are a .500 team.

    Ben had the ring and young talent ready to compete at the end of his tenure. Bloom has no ring and much less young talent at the potential end of his tenure. I've compared the two in the past. They both made wildly ridiculous personnel decisions. Neither have much of a personality to lean on (don't go to the Tik Tok bourbon guys to see what they say about the Whistle Pig bourbon that Bloom was flaunting in the Globe piece). Ben had more success, partly due to Theo. Bloom could be replaced by an internal promotion and the machine would march on. Henry's bottom line may be better off for it too.

    https://twitter.com/Hunter_Noll/status/1661774607857201157 On the 10th pitch of the AB, your favorite prospect’s favorite prospect goes deep for a two-run shot. The second home run of the year for the Boston Red Sox prospect.

    No, moon. Dipre is right. I don't know what you're missing about this conversation. He hasn't swung more than last year. He has the same pitch selection. It's not good! He's impatient! When he takes a pitch, it's usually by design and not because he sees a pitch he doesn't like. He'll go up there and say "well I need to take a pitch so I'll take a pitch now." He needs to learn what pitches are the right ones to swing at. We've been talking about this same exact thing for the past year.

    We really don't know what Henry's expectations are for this team. That's all that matters at the end of the day. If he's happy with the Sox being 85ish wins, then Bloom keeps his job. There's just so much behinds the scenes stuff that it's hard to forecast the "palace intrigue" nonsense with FO job security.
  6. mvp 78
    I don't remember ANYONE on here saying they'd win the division. At best, people said they'd compete for a Wild Card and half of the forum laughed at them saying they'd be WORSE than '22. Not one person on this forum voted for the Sox to win more than 90 games in the 2023 poll. How the hell would that win the AL East? You're just flat out making this s*** up right now.

    Who said this? I think some people said they'd get a WC birth...
  8. mvp 78
    Billy Beane is as big of a crook as owner John Fisher.
  9. mvp 78
    Better than what they were last year, but yes they are mediocre.
  10. mvp 78
    Plus crucifixions on technicalities! That's actually our specialty.
  11. mvp 78
    A west coast swoon? Well I never!!! Hmph... Unbelievable.
  12. mvp 78
    Meidroth is 9th in OBP for 2023. Hickey is 40th in OPS for 2023.
  13. mvp 78
    We all have our faults.
  14. mvp 78
    It's about swinging at the right pitches. Rafaela has a tendency to swing at anything his bat can reach. He needs to only swing at pitches he can make good contact on.
  15. mvp 78
    I need to post quicker now...
  16. mvp 78
    They are asking him to be "selective" not to simply just take more pitches. They don't want him to just sit around and get into an 0-2 count for the sake of doing so. He's still swinging out of his shoes more often than not. The only difference this year has been is that his SLG is down. 2022: 3.623 P/PA 2023: 3.600 P/PA He's not taking any additional pitches per PA this season. In fact, it's in line with last season in AA. Kavadas sees 4.732. The player that I saw with a lower P/PA than Rafaela was Christian Koss, who is not know for having a very patient approach either.
  17. mvp 78
    Kavadas was a 10th round pick, so I think it's a good get by Bloom. He at least adds depth to the org.
  18. mvp 78
    I think they may have been overrated at one point. I think they have a really good foundation now. Just maybe not pitching wise.
  19. mvp 78
    Like dipre said yesterday, you can get guys like that via FA.
  20. mvp 78
    Hickey is good. BOS next year at some point in non-catching role? Dalbec gets traded or released. Alfaro is just here in case of injury. Fitzy is just an org guy. Mayer needs to be moved up to AA. Hamilton shouldn't be on the 40 man. Bonaci only has 18 career games at A+. Probably is there for rest of the season. How many 2B/SS can you put in AA? Jordan needs to go level to level. May get stuck at some point. Kavadas gets to AAA next year and is there all season. Hasn't really shown plus plus power numbers you'd want from him. Abreu is very interesting. Next guy called up if there's an injury? Duran better get back to hitting. Yorke will get to BOS later than Mayer. His new stance could put him into prolonged slumps.
  21. mvp 78
    600m.
  22. mvp 78
    IDK, that offense is really good. I'd take a lot of those young guys.
  23. mvp 78
    My post was talking about last season.
  24. mvp 78
    Needs to play actual defense before he can be called up. He has a popgun arm. Sox believed in the bat of Valdez and were proven right. LHB, pull hitter with a huge FB rate in WOO. 974 OPS Home 751 OPS Away He's loving the WOO jet stream. All those flyballs will just die in Fenway. Neither of his homeruns on Tuesday night would have gone out at Fenway per Statcast.
  25. mvp 78
    You're talking about guys that can help Raffy, but didn't mention Nathan Hickey. Is he Manny? No, but his bat is playing up in AA. Good chance he's in AAA by year end and they dump his catcher's mitt. Only issue is that he's a LHB.
