    The same happened when Theo was here and s*** the bed big time.nWonder if It is LL's fault as well for Porcellos' mess. LOL!
  2. iortiz
    Because the later make 2013 a fluke year than anything else.
  3. iortiz
    ... But we were going to make some moves at the trade deadline, remember? That was the master plan, right?, right? LOL!

    The other day he said that he was the responsible for this mess. Probably it was just a PR statement but I really don't know. The funny thing is that some posters here think that LL is the one who always make the bad moves and Ben the good ones. Not sure how they came with that conclusion. When I listen them, seems like LL is the devil LOL!. Speaking for myself, I have no idea what to think about LL. Said that and as you said one thing is for sure, we do not know how/who make these calls.
  5. iortiz
    I thought that Ben was the GM. How do you know that LL was behind the signing? or is it pure speculation? or is Ben just a puppet?

    For the price we are paying for Porcello, Sandoval, Castillo and Ramirez, we could have Lester, Scherzer and Nelson Cruz. And still have enough left over to sign a decent 3b until Devers is ready...

    What? I think that you are the one that have cognitive reasoning issues. All of my bets were that Porcello would finish with an over 4 ERA, Hell, I was willing to to put the bar at 4.5, but I did not see that necessary since some of you were so damn sure that he was a under 4 ERA guy. LOL Now, the time to collect is coming.

    well said spud.

    I never liked that trade, BUT.... I said, well If their plan is giving him a No 4-5 role it will be acceptable, since at the time I expected the addition of a couple of arms, which never happened. Instead they gave him the No. 1-2 slot and not only that, they gave him an extension without a single pitch in red sox uniform. yes, it was really, really stupid.

    When I see Porcello (aside 2014 and 2015, in order to be fair), I see a 4.5 pitcher, but in the ALE and in fenway, I see a 5 ERA pitcher. Meaning "could be destroyed"
  11. iortiz
    Take away 2014 and make the sum. As I said, last year was a fluke year. I said that, over and over and over again.
  12. iortiz
    I would try to trade Porcello and Miley, but I do not see any team taking this junk. If we keep Porcello and Miley they shall be our No. 4 and 5. We need at least 2 solid, proven and durable pitchers. I've been saying this for a while.

    I think that Kim believed what it's in your sig, and it is oks but it is time to move on. Some of us did not drink Ben's kool aid at all.
  14. iortiz
    I put a lot of metrics and intangibles over and over again in order to show you why this was a horrible rotation and a bad strategy from day one. For example, you said that Porcello was a No. 2, in what planet? (you were the only one believing this based on a bad diagnosis)... and he is not even close. Some of us said that he was a No.4-5 given his career numbers. I also said that he was going to be destroyed in fenway (which was blasphemy at the time), and is actually happening. It's good to be optimistic and all Kim, but if you want to solve a problem, first you have to accept where the problem is, otherwise the problem will be there over and over and over again, like in this team . You keep saying that the strategy and plan was/is ok. You keep saying that Porcello is still a good idea. etc. It is not. Hopefully this team take a new direction and strategy. That Kim, is the main problem in this team in recent years.
  15. iortiz
    Hopefully he's traded somehow. He is clogging our future.
  16. iortiz
    Well, Hamels to Texas.
  17. iortiz
    Yup. It is pathetically run and managed.
  18. iortiz
    We have allowed 19 Rs in 2 games.
  19. iortiz
    This rotation is a disaster.
  20. iortiz
    Miley is 4.65 ERA. Red Sox pitcher type.
  21. iortiz
    I suggested few years ago a guy like Friedman. I'm pretty sure that out there are several candidates who can run this team successfully.
  22. iortiz
    Then what? This is what JH and his crew have to work out already. As I said, they need to rebuild the FO first (whatever that means), and then execute the new strategy and direction for the short/mid/long term.
  23. iortiz
    This is a great franchise. Great fan base. Great history. Great ball park. Great city. Plenty of resources. Unfortunately this team is run very poorly. We have all to at least be competitive every year. Aside 2013 which at this point seems to me like a fluke year than anything else, this team has been run very bad in recent years. All I ask is a competitive team. How worse can it go with a different strategy and direction? we are one of the worst teams in baseball in recent years, asaide 2013.
  24. iortiz
    Do not be pessimist Pal
  25. iortiz
    Planet Ben? LOL! Yes, Ben and his crew have to go. In the meantime I would try to move all those stupid contracts.
