The Way Too Early Tear Down Thread
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yeah, it really worked out well for the Yankees last year when the Sox were buyers instead of sellers. -
Not really. When you say someone over's their head, that implies they can't do the job, and that's incompetence.
-
I'm still in the public accounting trade at age 66. I have Fridays off now and my legit working hours per week are down to 20-25.
-
But if Refsnyder does well, will you also call that over managing?
-
Sale didn't quite make it back...
-
It's always easy managing from the armchair.
-
Sometimes it's trial and error. Plus they were expecting Barnes and Robles to be better.
-
I would think Bloom and Cora saw eye-to-eye perfectly on that one. Bloom is the guy who acquired Arroyo. Cora is the guy who likes platoons and L-R matchups.
-
It's happening right now, like it or not...
-
Got him in the Beni-Cordero trade.
-
There are always going to be some ifs.
-
I understand the logic behind trying Arroyo. He's cheap and his 2021 offensive numbers were decent, especially against lefties. He had no position once we signed Story. It looks like Refsnyder may be the guy now.
-
I realize he doesn't look good in the outfield. They thought he could make a better transition. Bloom obviously thought Arroyo's bat had some potential, I think that's why he acquired him in the first place...
-
Arroyo had a .769 OPS last year in 181 PA's - and a .885 OPS against lefties. If he was doing that this year, the idea would look much better...
-
I think the timeline is that DD signed Sale and Bogey to their extensions after negotiations broke down with Mookie.
-
I concur again.
-
And that's the real reason, yes.
-
And because DD didn't sign him to an extension.
-
Sure, but none of those guys were ready in 2020, except for Houck at the very end of it. I think the "mess" comments mainly apply to the 2020 season.
-
No, it's not pure fiction. For various reasons, the only starting pitcher left from the 2019 rotation in the 2020 season was Eovaldi. Betts was gone and Cora was gone. Unless you really think it was Bloom's idea to trade Betts.
-
OK, Barnes's second extra inning appearance was on May 4. He came on in the top of the 10th with the score 4-4. Already used in the game were Davis, Strahm, Robles and Diekman. Barnes got 2 outs, then gave up a HR, single and walk. Sawamura then came in and gave up a single and HR. Danish was in Worcester at the time. It was slim pickings.
-
And I have to say it one more time - Northcut is a beautiful name for a home run hitter.
