No, you wussed out.
-
Bogaerts does have a 2.5 fWAR, though. What's the Red Sox fWAR for the SS position this year?
-
Right, I mean, have we already forgotten last year's deadline, and Bloom's stunning stealth acquisitions of Hosmer, Pham and McGuire, that helped propel us to a 25-32 record after the August 2 deadline?
-
Let's revisit on August 2.
-
Yeah, but I didn't say Cora had no other options. Nice goalpost move.
-
67 of the first 80. Seems about right for a guy Bloom signed for $10 million.
-
There are one-year contracts and there are two-month rentals.
-
I don't remember the complaints. I'm happy we unloaded Kike. But I'm also a much bigger fan of documented truth than I am of unsourced rumors.
-
Now that's blatantly untrue. Kike was traded after the Sox had played 100 games. Kike started 79 of those games, so 21% of the time he did not start.
-
Maybe because it showed a peculiar inconsistency. Or that Ort, Brasier and Hamilton aren't much of a hill to die on, as the saying goes.
-
We're on a great run right now, 16-6. But the 40-42 start might ultimately do us in.
-
Yes.
-
How would said fans know this, is the question. If there are any actual quotes from players, by all means let's have 'em, I say.
-
Agreed. But I for one am still concerned as heck about Story's elbow.
-
It appears he didn't get fleeced, but it might still be questionable protecting Ort, Brasier and Hamilton over Song.
-
I believe it's 4.
-
I know. But our season is still in a very precarious state. If we fall short it's inevitable that you look at the mistakes that cost us.
-
At the 2021 deadline, Bloom's pitching acquisitions were Robles and Davis. As I recall we didn't find out he'd acquired them until about an hour after the deadline.
-
One of these things is not like the others.
-
And I like Cora's attitude. OTOH I'm sure glad right now the farm produced Bello, Casas, Crawford and Duran. You can like both things, the big team and the farm, there's no law that says you have to choose.
-
Yes, some CBO's make major acquisitions well before the deadline. Bloom is not one of them.
-
Sorry moon, but we're 2.5 games behind the Jays and Stros.
-
And none of the guys DD traded has done much, really.
-
Yes, but Kike was really sucking.
-
Sorry, the joke is based on him being a Paul Byrd type...
