    Yep. Mike Ehrmantraut was not wrong.
  2. Bellhorn04
    It's been a brutal combo of Henry not approving very many big moves, and his CBOs whiffing hard on their limited chances. But he's the one ultimately responsible for all of it.
  3. Bellhorn04
    We'll let that stand but please no followups by anyone.
  4. Bellhorn04
    There are some bad jokes available there.

    He chose the Cubs 53 million over the Sox 26 million. Tough call, not.
  6. Bellhorn04
    They've never learned their lesson about not trading lefty starters.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I read about this too. If they do sign Fried some forgiveness will be bestowed. But what's funny is that even if we do, Giolito isn't really guaranteed to be with the Red Sox for very long.

    I think it's a combination of the two with a lean toward the $$$. In all the rumors and innuendo last offseason I read one quote from an unnamed executive that suggested the Red Sox were "looking for the perfect deal", which kind of made sense when you look at what happened and didn't happen.

    I forgive Schiraldi absolutely. He threw 55 pitches in that game. And he was throwing strikes in the 10th, the Mets just managed to get knocks off them. Poor Stanley, he was instrumental in both the 1978 playoff game and in this one.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Brilliant call on my part. 😁
  11. Bellhorn04
    "Interesting" is one way to put it. For starting pitchers, Giolito's 38.5 mill leads the way in total investment by light years! Second place is a tie at 10 mill! It's how they roll in this brave new Red Sox world.

    I'm picking on imanaga because the Sox were actually in on the bidding for him according to the reports but wouldn't go beyond a 2 year 26 million offer. https://bosoxinjection.com/posts/report-reveals-infuriating-reason-red-sox-didnt-sign-shota-imanaga-this-offseason-01hwk36pfhbr#:~:text=The Red Sox didn't,million offer to the pitcher.

    And Eovaldi really is a guy they should have re-signed. But they have been absolute tightwads with free agent pitchers. They wouldn't beat the Cubs $53 million for Imanaga, for God's sake. What has become of us? We're talking cheapskates here, folks, let's be real about it. 😛

    To me a realistic plan with post-2019 Sale would have been to view him as a wild card until he proved otherwise, not as the presumed anchor of the rotation. I don't even like the word "plan" that much with some of this stuff. A large % of baseball players are very unpredictable from year to year. Teams need all sorts of backup plans, if they expect to be successful. Look at Texas in 2023. Their Hall of Fame candidates, Scherzer and deGrom, were virtually useless, and it was Eovaldi and Montgomery who really delivered, especially in the postseason.

    He's in the inner circle of our hitting coaching now. If they fire Fatse I suspect he's the replacement. Just have to watch and see if our approach gets better next year. Way too many Ks this year.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Did Bloom ever actually say anything about that being the plan and the reason he signed nothing but cheap short-term starters? It could easily have been part of a different plan - the scrimp and punt plan.
  17. Bellhorn04
    OTOH no one is ripping them because Whitlock and Story got injured again. The usual grumbling that Whitlock should be in the pen, of course.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Wacha has exceeded 124 innings in each of the last 5 full seasons, averaging 135.9. The way things are now, he might be a lot closer to the top in innings pitched over that period than you think!
  19. Bellhorn04
    Chains of events. If Schiraldi gets Carter out, Steamer and Buckner are lifting the trophy instead of wearing goat horns.
  20. Bellhorn04
    You're right. I may be reaching. What I'm really wondering about is the Red Sox "organizational philosophy" about hitting and how Lawson fits into it-they clearly think he's a perfect fit.
  21. Bellhorn04
    That's true. Maybe more pertinent is that they went from 18th in K's in 2023 with 1372 to 3rd in 2024 with 1570.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Right, it's just that a lot of people don't seem to realize the score had already been tied by the time the ball was hit to Buckner. The real problem was that McNamara didn't pinch hit Baylor for Buckner against Orosco with the bases loaded in the 8th.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Dillon Lawson has been promoted to assistant hitting coach. Wonderful news. 😛
  24. Bellhorn04
    I'll take it a step further and say he's in big trouble.
  25. Bellhorn04
    For me the very best moment of all the moments was the end of ALCS Game 7 in Yankee Stadium, looking at the guys in the dugout getting ready to run on the field and celebrate.
