    The Crapshoot Factor has been MASSIVE the last 2 postseasons. The 2022 Phillies winning the pennant with a Pythagorean 87 wins instead of the Dodgers with a Pythagorean 116 wins was one of the all-time crapshoot results. You're a Crapshoot Denier.

    It was notin who had interest in Greinke. I'd take him at this point. But it looks like you just might get Mata.
  3. Bellhorn04
    And if Kluber and Greinke sign in the next 4 days, it'll still be December, but every free agent pitcher any of us had in mind will be gone.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi to the Rangers. Down to Kluber and Greinke.

    Are the Red Sox the undisputed kings of the lowball offer? Is there any other team in MLB that has had so many lowball offers become public?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Whatever you think of Bloom, you have to admit that we haven't seen stuff like this from the Red Sox for a long time, if ever. Making it public that they're after certain guys, and falling drastically short with their bids. The positive signs are the bullpen adds, and Yoshida. But the overall plan is still murky.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Hopefully Bloom doesn't tell us later that his No. 1 starting pitcher priority was a guy that another team signed, with the reason of course being the price tag was too high. That would fall in line with what happened with the other top priorities of this offseason, Abreu and Bogaerts.
  8. Bellhorn04
    So as it stands, we're going into the season with a nice combination of injury risk (Sale, Paxton), journeyman mediocrity (Pivetta), and inexperience (the rest).
  9. Bellhorn04
    And reportedly, the Sox don't even have interest in Eovaldi... No rumors on any of the other possibilities, either, for that matter.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anyone's crying over Hill, but I think we do need another starting pitcher for 2023, regardless of whether they're part of the core group going forward. I would say this is one of the rare occasions where at least 90% of us are in agreement. We need Kluber or Eovaldi or Greinke or a trade. Bloom basically promised a starting pitcher. He laid it on pretty thick, actually, with the "leadership, upside and innings" stuff.
  11. Bellhorn04
    We can all think what we want, of course. The only evidence we're left with of wanting him back is Bloom's words.

    Goodbye to our 2022 team leader in pitching fWAR!
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it's the big picture. It's one thing after another that suggests they really have no clue what they're doing right now. They said they were going to compete while rebuilding, they did a good job of that in 2021, but 2022 was bad and 2023 is looking worse.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Too honest about Bogey being their No. 1 priority, you mean?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Many things are possible. Sure, we may end up glad we didn't retain Bogey. On the other hand, we may regret it deeply. We also may end up deeming the Story signing a disaster. Or the Yoshida signing. What's the point in posing a bunch of questions no one can answer?
  16. Bellhorn04
    We'll never know if the Red Sox actually wanted to keep Bogaerts or not. One way or another, the team's credibility is shot.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Brasier may end up as the Face of the Franchise. (Sorry. I know that's a very sick joke.)
  18. Bellhorn04
    Correa? We'll be lucky if they make a serious offer to Andrus.
  19. Bellhorn04
    If there's one thing Red Sox fans can count on in the midst of all this turmoil and negativity, it's Ryan Brasier.
  20. Bellhorn04
    It's a thad song. Not the way it ort to be.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I don't know, it seems quite possible they never wanted him back and the story about him being a priority was just more of our current front office's ******** stories. Not wanting him back makes more sense, especially considering their joke offer and the Story signing. The net effect is they leave a lot of fans unhappy, confused or both. Good times.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Well, there are bashers who focus on the obvious stuff, and bashers who focus on the less obvious stuff. The way things are going, there's a lot to choose from.
  23. Bellhorn04
    And if you're going to be listing good moves and bad moves you can't leave out the non-moves, either. moon and mvp and others say it was a damaging non-move not to trade Bogey, JD and Eovaldi, get something for them, and get below the tax line. So that's an example of a bad non-move in your books.
  24. Bellhorn04
    moon, we could finish last five years in a row and you'd find a way to have Bloom's good moves outnumber his bad ones. Maybe it's not the right methodology to judge performance by. All the majority of fans care about right now is that we won 78 games last year, this was supposed to be a big offseason, and we may have actually gotten worse. Bloom is going to be judged on the 2023 standings. It will be his fourth season, and if we finish last he'll have done the same as Cherington except that Cherington won it all his second season. And we know what happened to Cherington.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that's what I'm saying.
