  1. One surprise trade of an outfielder, that is.
  2. I thought what he said made sense. The Red Sox were 3 games out of a playoff spot on August 1. They thought they had a healthy Sale coming back, and that they would have Paxton coming in September.
  3. STORK refuses to let boring old facts get in the way.
  4. Case in point - Jason Adam. Journeyman, signed as free agent for $900 K. Having unbelievable season. Has to be scouting and coaching.
  5. It's not because of his ability. It's because he takes the ball every 5 days and usually keeps you in the game. Like Porcello, and Wakefield before him. Guys like that have a value that goes beyond their stats.
  6. Who would you prefer as Red Sox manager? Cash?
  7. So you're basically saying Bloom lied about his deadline strategy.
  8. I know one thing the Sox should NOT do, and that's trade Pivetta.
  9. You're right, the Rays have been doing extremely well. One thing that fascinates me is where they get all their pitchers from. The names keep changing but the results stay the same. It's like they have a secret factory where they build them.
  10. I'm sure it's fine to watch a game in person. My adverse reactions to the place come from things like catwalks, cowbells, and a field that looks like a cheap, badly stained old carpet.
  11. Most people use the "TV eye test".
  12. Opt outs, opt ins, team options, player options, mutual options, vesting options...yeesh.
  13. Kind of weird that Florida has such low-revenue teams.
  14. We are experienced cherry-pickers here.
  15. They gave Bogey advance notice they weren't going to trade him.
  16. Today will be a memory tomorrow.
  17. Same here. But he's still young enough not to totally write off yet.
  18. Yes, I know very well, some people are all about recency. We did manage to knock them out of the playoffs last year, though...
  19. Those crybaby fans don't bother me at all. I tend to think crybaby fans have been a big help to the franchise. Without crybaby fans, maybe we wouldn't have signed Manny, or some of the other big name free agents that have helped us garner the 4 rings...
  20. Who says the Red Sox are at a competitive disadvantage to the Rays? Yes, they've been beating our brains in this year and have fielded competitive teams on a much more consistent basis in recent years. But "from 30,000 feet" as the saying goes now, we do have those 4 rings over the last 20 years to their zero.
  21. I'm with the fans on this one 100%, especially the ones who go to the games. They pay a lot of money. They are stakeholders.
  22. When someone says that I can't help wondering what kind of fence it is. In some cases it would be pretty uncomfortable.
  23. In Speier's article there was a statement from someone from another team saying that what Bloom was asking for JD indicated he was hoping someone would be stupid.
  24. "Buckling to fan pressure" is kind of a distortion, I think. It's not like there was a public outcry about not having a fire sale. "Recognition of fan preferences" would be more accurate, I think.
  25. Right. That's why I think Bloom did fine on the trade itself.
