  1. It is a somewhat heated point of debate as to who is to blame for trading Betts. And it's obvious that we tend to pick sides with Red Sox executives just like we do with everything else. The general consensus is that the decision to trade Mookie had to come from ownership, because they are the biggest stakeholders and we're talking about an enormously popular and talented player who commanded a massive, long-term contract. But Bloom is the guy who pulled the trigger, so it's also natural that some are going to point to him as a culprit in the affair.
  2. What fans forget is that after 2018 the Red Sox front office said they'd like to keep all of Betts, Bogaerts and Sale but didn't think they could keep all 3 of them.
  3. I know, that's why I have no intention of doing it.
  4. No, because he was better than that. Manny was one of the best hitters in the history of the game.
  5. If ya really want to know what I think, I think predictions like these are stupid and pointless. Betting is a whole different story. Betting is even more stupid, but at least it gets the adrenaline flowing.
  6. I suspect he'll start tonight vs. Lynn and sit tomorrow vs. Urias.
  7. Trout and Judge have higher career OPS+ than Manny but still have years to go. Pujols would have been higher if he retired younger. A few names in the conversation.
  8. They did switch places in the 3-4 spots so you could look into that.
  9. Plus the incident with the road manager or whatever he was. Not really a spotless record.
  10. That does seem like a logical move. Not sure how much Verdugo would bring back though, probably have to add a decent prospect or too. As always you have to figure out who you match up with.
  11. Sometimes a no-call is the most intelligent call.
  12. Yeah, it's just the way this team has been. 2 or 3 games out of the playoffs on this date and you still have a realistic chance. 5 or 6 out and you're as good as toast.
  13. Question for discussion: does "lineup protection" exist? Mookie is so freaking hot that it would be tempting to give him the Barry Bonds Treatment and walk him a lot. But it's a questionable tactic when you have Freeman right behind him with an OPS of .988 (Mookie's is now at 1.009).
  14. Cora will figure it out. I know that's just the answer you wanted to hear. Duvall is red hot too. Good problem to have and all that.
  15. Except Raffy is more of a big Teddy Bear. Manny could be a Teddy Bear, but sometimes turned into a Grizzly Bear.
  16. I don't think this was a terrible call.
  17. Cora will probably rotate them.
  18. There's no maybe about it.
  19. I think in general kids play much less playground sports now but much more organized sports.
  20. Trivia question: has a position player pitcher ever been removed and replaced by another position player pitcher?
  21. What about his barrel rate, Captain Nemo?
  22. I don't think you got much pushback on that. I may even have chimed in knowingly.
