    You've seen the posts people write on here, right?

    They didn't bench him. I'd bet that Mookie would be more likely to do well during the 2020 postseason than Kimbrel.
  3. mvp 78
    That devastating loss of Nunez, Holt and Kimbrel (who they didn't even trust to close out games in the WS).
  4. mvp 78
    One step forward, two steps back.
  5. mvp 78
    Didn't Sosa and McGwire save baseball?
  6. mvp 78
    I think the floor for the 2020 team would have been last year's 84 wins, but the ceiling is competing with the Yanks/Rays for the division. It was risky for sure.
  7. mvp 78
    It's also the same basic team from 2018 that lapped the field.
  8. mvp 78
    I'd say make it more HR happy.

    Unproven? Bloom had a pretty good track record in TB. I think they are punting this season and trying to build something long term. I agree with others that they could be big sellers at the deadline even if they are above .500. There's no pressure on this season. Nobody is going to be watching. They waved the white flag when they moved Betts.

    The best chance for him to come back is for ticket sales and ratings to absolutely suck balls this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    I'm not arguing that it didn't have to be done. I'm just saying that this is a situation that I haven't had to go through as a fan of the Red Sox. I wasn't shitposting in the sandbox in PreK when Fisk and Lynn left.
  12. mvp 78
    Maybe he likes his current options better? If you guys have faith that Bloom knows what he's doing, you'll have to just agree that he's doing the right thing now.
  13. mvp 78
    It hasn't been reported what he is signing for.
  14. mvp 78
    When Clemens left, a lot of people thought he was fat and washed up. It's not the same as Betts leaving.
  15. mvp 78
    People keep saying "pitching" but there isn't really anything of value left. Maybe Bloom has made a few MiLB offers to pitchers but they are holding out for something better? Maybe Bloom just doesn't like the pitchers left?
  16. mvp 78
    Yeah, IDK. If you're going to say that everyone left, at least try to back up your position. However, if you don't know who Alex Speier is, I honestly don't think you're really paying attention and are just making stuff up. The Fangraphs interview I posted was conducted AFTER DD was let go. If DD had ruined the analytics department, I'm sure the Sox wouldn't be saying that it actually grew under DD's leadership.
  17. mvp 78
    I like the Bloom is finding cheap options and upgrading everywhere he can, even if it's just at backup catcher. I wonder if Bloom just doesn't like the pitchers that are left sitting around in FA.
  18. mvp 78
    Chris Cotillo: Sources: Red Sox close to deal with catcher Jonathan Lucroy. Depth option behind Vazquez, Plawecki. Likely a minor league deal.
  19. mvp 78
    Bounce back season? Depth signing?
  20. mvp 78
    Boggs, Nomar, Manny, Pedro were all on the downswing of their careers.
  21. mvp 78
    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-conversation-with-red-sox-analytics-department-overseer-zack-scott/ I haven’t seen it noted anywhere that there was a mass exodus under DD. Read this interview where it states the department grew under DD. If you don’t know Alex Speier, you must not watch many Sox games.
  22. mvp 78
    The last time a star player left near the top of his game was either Fred Lynn or Carlton Fisk. Lester is a step below those guys IMO.
  23. mvp 78
    I would agree. I didn’t expect him to make miracles. He’ll need a few years to make his mark.
  24. mvp 78
    Waiting on the panic move of re-signing Mookie this fall........
