ABS Challenge System Adopted by MLB for 2026
Bellhorn04 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I'm with MVP. Nobody wants to see inferior officiating in major league sports. As soon as people see it in action, all the other issues go out the window. -

I like it, personally, but mainly because it highlights how often major league pitchers can dot the lines. -
LOL I thought Breslow was the guy whose job is on the line with you.
-
.590 home, .506 road. Not sure what you're getting at.
-
Shocking you would predict such a thing.
-
I know. Sometimes it's more like you're talking to the other people on the thread rather than to the person you're responding to. The people that run this site should love Fred though. He jacks up the post count with all these futile back-and-forths.

Well, I realize the Devers trade is a hard one to evaluate based on numbers, but I still believe that was a positive move for the team. I'm easily affected by recent results though, I have to admit. Just a couple days ago I was lamenting not acquiring a bat after they traded Devers. Then they go out and play 2 great games in Toronto and it's pretty hard to complain all of a sudden. Crazy game. And it makes intelligent adults like we all are here talk some pretty cxrazy s**t. 🤣

So now the Flops are a good team, the same team you've been calling bums for months. I'm sure I can dig up plenty of posts where you said they were very lacking in talent and should be blown up and rebuilt. You contradict yourself a lot.
-
Yes, that definitely helps. Craig has done a great job putting this staff together. 😉
-
Now you're just rattling. Lowe has proven to be a good pickup. He's had a solid career and was having a bad season, that happens to plenty of good players.
-
If our needs were not met, how are we in a good position to make the playoffs?
-
90% is too high IMHO, especially if we keep this in the realm of sports. If there's that much dumb luck, how come the Yankees and Dodgers continue to thrive and the Pirates and Rockies continue to suck?
-
Too much randomness to evaluate such things. Deadlines are generally about picking up complementary pieces. And I think we've all agreed that you usually have to overpay bigly at the deadline.
-
It's a sucker question because there are too many possibilities and too many unknowns. He could have traded the whole farm for a bat that would have marginally improved our chances. Would you call that doing his job? He acquired 2 players that are helping, Lowe and Matz. I think you're over-rating the importance of the deadline. It's rare that deadline moves push any team over the top. Dombrowski may have done that in 2018 with Eovaldi and Pearce. That was a great deadline. But they don't happen often. DD didn't do much at his other deadlines with us.
-
That's pretty wild.
-
If this team makes the playoffs, Breslow was correct in thinking that deadline moves weren't going to be the difference-maker. I realize you will now pivot to "but we could have been much better".
-
Red Sox 2007 trade deadline acquisitions were Bobby Kielty and Eric Gagne. Amazing that Theo didn't get fired for that disaster! 😄
-
The link doesn't work for me. But here's a revelation: Just because somebody said it on the internet doesn't mean it's true. And no legit sportswriter would be using the term "epic fail".
-
Where the hell does that quote come from?
-
The point is you also said you don't care what other GMs did - but you only use that one when it's pointed out that other teams didn't do that great either. It's amusing.
-
Let me clarify your hilarious self-contradiction. Fred: "Other GMs did more than Breslow at the deadline." SPLINTER "No other teams acquired a top shelf starter either." Fred: "I don't care what other GMs did."
-
Lowe is hitting better than Suarez in their new uniforms, another point that may have eluded Fred.
-
Do you realize how much you're contradicting yourself? You're saying you don't care what other GMs did at the same time you're saying other GMs did more than Breslow. 🤪
-
Nice picture of Narvaez. Nice trade by Brez!
-
Sox have to win, agreed. I do like the A's as a spoiler though.
