    Tyler's chronic difficulty staying on the field had a lot to do with him coming cheap, so he was kind of a perfect fit for the 2024 Sox, but not really in a good way.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Neither looking great.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Teoscar Hernandez might have been a better get for an RH bat than Tyler O'Neill. And the Sox reportedly had a clear shot at Teoscar, but ultimately cheaped out again.
  4. Bellhorn04
    More irony is that Henry is obviously pissed about the "full throttle" thing becoming such a hot button, and then he goes and serves up "unrealistic expectations" as a new hot button.

    I'm afraid that with this interview Henry really clinched that while he's a brilliant man in some ways, he's a total dodo in others. This interview was a very deliberate thing done by e-mail, so he had every chance to think carefully about what he was saying and how it would be interpreted. He had an opportunity to say some things about how he could understand frustration with the recent results. Instead all he does is scold the fans and the media for being impatient and unrealistic. And yeah, it is pretty f***ing ironic for him to be scolding about impatience and unrealistic expectations after firing Dombrowski and Bloom, both of whom seemed to be doing essentially what they were paid to do. Now it looks like poor Breslow is left holding the bag for another *very disappointing* season.

    It somehow seems fitting that right on top of Henry's comments about fans' unrealistic expectations, the Sox lose back to back games against the dreadful White Sox and dip under .500 again.
  7. Bellhorn04
    What I'd say is that Bloom did *virtually* nothing to help the 2022 or 2023 teams at the deadline. The Vazquez trade was a future-oriented move that looks like it will pay off with Abreu. That was the only significant sell move.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Same.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I was only talking about starters.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Except the big deal with Yamamoto was how young he is.
  11. Bellhorn04
    If we signed a guy for $11 million you could say the same thing.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, unless their name is David Price.
  13. Bellhorn04
    It was really stupid of Henry to say anything about a 1 in 30 chance, implying that every team has the same chance regardless of their advantages or disadvantages in wealth and baseball acumen.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, the mismanagement started in earnest when Epstein left. It's been Before Theo and After Theo. After Theo we got 2 more titles, but 6 seasons under .500, going on 7.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I think a big part of the problem is he doesn't have a guy like Larry who knows something about PR any more. Plus, John, if you're going to keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut. You just went and opened it again, y'know?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Henry may not have meant it this way, but he managed to portray the "typical Red Sox fan" as Johnny from Burger King.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes, there's a reasonable explanation for losing last night. It's our record over the last 3 seasons that does kind of scream "mismanaged"...
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I don't talk much because my words tend to get used against me. But I will say this, fans have unrealistic expectations, think you should win it all every year and want you to spend like there's no tomorrow. Fans are all wrong. I sure hope those words don't get used against me.
  19. Bellhorn04
    And the Red Sox are due to get back to .500! And the Chisox have their best pitcher going. We are the u****dogs tonight.
  20. Bellhorn04
    He's kind of unique, this kid. But the K/BB is unsustainable, one would think.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Celtics legend Chipper Bird?
  22. Bellhorn04
    We might be seeing more and more of Mr. Refsnyder in the lineup, as moon has been requesting.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Aye, we'll be holding ye to that, laddie.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Time for Boras to retire.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I don't think medical science is advancing quite as fast as you're suggesting...
