Some are pointing at RedBird Capital as the real culprit in the Sox recent penny-pinching. RedBird bought 10% of FSG in 2021 when FSG needed a cash infusion because of COVID losses.
-
O'Neill is banged up again. He's one of those guys always threatening to be on the IL. That was evident the last couple of seasons but we bit anyway, because he came cheap.
-
Henry's ill-chosen words further highlight the stunning lack of PR savvy in the guys running this team now.
-
Bodies of a lot of fans of other teams in those seats now. Fenway Experience.
-
Ifs buts candy nuts. Not much we're doing looking like genius.
-
C'mon man, Teoscar has an OPS+ of 134. I wouldn't have brought him up just because of the granny. It was admittedly an attention-getter. But the guy is having a pretty respectable career. And like you say, he's a wee bit more durable than the guy we got.
-
If this season dissolves into a total shitsunami like it's threatening to, it's great that it'll all be captured for posterity by NetFlix!
-
Teoscar and Imanaga are two players the Sox reportedly could have had on very reasonable terms and yet they elected not to meet the price. This is where this franchise is now. And it's pretty f***ing pathetic.
-
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.
-
Neither looking great.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Same.
-
I was only talking about starters.
-
Except the big deal with Yamamoto was how young he is.
-
If we signed a guy for $11 million you could say the same thing.
-
Yeah, unless their name is David Price.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
Henry may not have meant it this way, but he managed to portray the "typical Red Sox fan" as Johnny from Burger King.
-
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"...
