    The *Fates* have decreed otherwise.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Although you must admit, reducing those pitch counts from 100-110 to 60-70 is a somewhat significant shift...
  3. Bellhorn04
    It's a very bad name. I just wasn't expecting the performance to match it.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Fatse is unquestionably the most inept individual in franchise history.
  5. Bellhorn04
    If the offense does nothing again today, the Fire Fatse thread is coming.

    They beat the Angels 4-0 on May 3, back in relative good times, when Wacha was healthy.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, the offensive futility is at historic levels. We're averaging 3.32 runs per game. In 1968, the Year of the Pitcher, the Red Sox averaged 3.79.

    Extending Barnes looks like a total loss. But it's an easily survivable error financially for a rich team.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Have Mother's Day games always started this early?
  10. Bellhorn04
    I really don't think the intention was to be this bad. But Bloom's construction of the bullpen looks terrible, there's no way around that. It really seems to make the "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" approach look questionable, to put it nicely.
  11. Bellhorn04
    That would be totally antithetical to Bloom's philosophy. That would be a Dombrowski move.
  12. Bellhorn04
    But Whitlock is our best potential pitcher, period. Not trying to be a smartass, but we could have Eovaldi close and Wacha pitch the 8th, too, if the philosophy is to use your best guys at the ends of games.
  13. Bellhorn04
    No doubt you're right that Whitlock closing would have turned a bunch of losses into wins. But considering our other issues, I don't think it would be a season-saver. As 5GG's says, this is a Bloom issue, not a Cora issue.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Possible exceptions: Eovaldi Bogey JDM Wacha Hill

    I assume you mean in Red Sox franchise history? I doubt it, but I'll have a peek. The 2020 team was down 10 after 28 games, on a later date of course.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Oh well, it took Henry 20 years to oversee his first tear-down with the Red Sox. Looks like it's going to be a doozy.
  17. Bellhorn04
    For him it's just another opportunity to troll, you know that.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Thanks doc! You knew we needed cheering up.
  19. Bellhorn04
    More torture from the Dead Bats Society so far.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Last 13 games Suzuki is hitting .157 with 18 K's and 2 BB's. Major league pitchers put together a book on him real quick. Now we'll see if he can make adjustments of his own.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Valdez was a possible choice, but recent outings have been less encouraging.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I get your point. But I'm not sure they should keep Whitlock in the pen simply because there's so much dreck there. What you're saying probably would make the most sense for 2022. But in the long view Whitlock should be a starter.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Guys who are going bad may look like they don't care, but they're probably frustrated as hell. Nobody wants to suck in front of millions of people.

    "The strategy of hooking starters early only works when the bullpen is really good." - Cap'n Obvious.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The one "obvious" pitcher Bloom acquired was Ottavino, although it was in a quirky deal.
