Sign me up for 1/10 for Montgomery on day 1.
-
It was MUCH easier to get tickets back then. Even for Pedro starts you could walk up and get tickets on gameday. I got tickets to a Bartolo Colon v Pedro matchup that way back then. I think things started to take off after the '99 playoffs from what I remember.
-
I think they need someone in between.
-
That was his calling card if his offense doesn't work out.
-
Yeah, he's not in my top 20.
-
He'd be fine. His 4.10 xFIP that year wasn't that far off from his career norms at the time. I don't see him as being better than a #3 though.

Remember everyone, when a player doesn't perform it's always someone else's fault! -

It's been noted on his chart for a loooong time. -
Now THAT is a vocab word.
-
Oh yeah? But whataboutism: @alexspeier Announced attendance -- paid tickets -- is 30,029. It's the lowest attendance at Fenway for a Red Sox-Yankees game (not including pandemic-restricted crowd sizes of 2021 and 2020) since May 27, 1999.

https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1701680312525205846 @redsoxstats That was a frustrating at-bat by Rafaela in a big spot. Got two horrendous breaking balls hung over the heart of the plate and fouled them off, while swinging at 3 pitches way out of the zone. The Rafaela experience in a nutshell. -
https://www.mlb.com/redsox/team/front-office/brian-ohalloran I guess he's a CIA plant. Before working in baseball, he spent two years studying ethnic conflict in Tbilisi, Georgia, and three years supervising business operations for an international logistics company in Moscow, Russia.

I don't think they can pass two teams. It's too hard at this point. The magic number is at 14. If they sweep those series, but go 7-6 the rest of the way, TOR/TEX get into the playoffs going .500 against all other opponents. The likelihood of the Sox going on a 13-6 run is slim to none with Paxton and Sale being shut down for the year. They just have no pitching left.
-
If they had a replacement today that was better than Bloom (THEO), I'd say just rip the bandaid off. I don't think they really are close to getting that. Anyone they get is just rearranging furniture. Could BOH do the job without Bloom?
-
With the visible smoke and buzzards, it's probably time to start placing our bets.
-
Doesn't help them pass SEA. If they go 6-0 in those three games, they still could be 3 games back of the WC.
-
Yes it is. Especially for this team.

Did you expect something more from us? -
What did Offerman do in the two years after '99?
-
Why did they sign all 3? IDK! Not a great idea!
-
No. Duquette gave the Sox some real great seasons like 2000 and 2001 even when it had HOF talent on it. They would have never gotten to a WS under Duquette.
-
The reports were that the scouting department were high on Masa. This wasn't just Bloom in a vacuum picking up a guy on his own. Aren't all FA signings risky? Most of them are about 50/50.
-
Dan Duquette?
-
The issue with JD was that he fell off after the first month or two the past few years. 6/1 - 9/30/22: 703 OPS The worry was that he was older and was just wearing down. I think people are hopeful that Masa is just adjusting to the game and can be better in the future.

At least nobody got stabbed in the forehead with a fork.
