    Sort of like me doing tax returns when I'm stoned.

    The Red Sox tried the 'bring back the whole gang and keep the party going' approach in 2019. They really, really did.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Another point you may want to consider on the asterisk thing: in Manfred's report on the Red Sox 2018 sign stealing, it explicitly says that it did not occur in the postseason.

    Was Cora disciplined for 2018? I may have missed that.

    I read the comments section in the Globe story about JBJ leaving the team. It was a mixed reaction to say the least. There were a lot of people calling him a lousy hitter and an overrated player.
  6. Bellhorn04
    It's natural for us fans to feel that way. The athletes and doctors obviously feel differently, so our opinions don't really matter.

    It was Bauer - who else?
  8. Bellhorn04
    Nope, not immaterial.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Agree with both points 100%.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I only disagreed with that example because Benoit wasn't one of the woeful ones.
  11. Bellhorn04
    But you also attributed their loss to us in 2013 to their bullpen.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I don't really get how you're framing this. Just that you're leaving out that keeping Betts for 2019 would also mean getting virtually nothing for him.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I think you have to give Friedman his due. I believe that when he made this trade he figured he had a shot at signing Mookie to an extension, and that was an integral part of why he did it.
  14. Bellhorn04
    He didn't do a very job with their bullpen, I can't argue with that.

    Every team has issues of some sort unless they're the 1998 Yankees or one of the other juggernauts. The pertinent question with DD's Tigers is whether it was the bullpen that prevented them from winning titles between 2011 and 2014. Anyone who subscribes to the playoffs are a crapshoot theory to any degree would have to answer no.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Which is a real problem.
  17. Bellhorn04
    For a number of years now. I assume this is just another COVID issue.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Way too many questions LOL
  19. Bellhorn04
    What do you suppose happened to these fans in 2019, when NESN ratings started their plunge? Seems to me the outfield that year was the Killer B's.

    It feels weird not being able to follow these games on Gameday.

    John Henry knows all this. He didn't get where he is by being a dummy. The Red Sox have said the reason they hired Bloom was to try to have more consistent good results. Henry no doubt got tired of the roller coaster ride that started in 2011. And I believe he thought a large part of the problem was trying to fix everything with big splashy signings. We need to give Bloom a chance.
  22. Bellhorn04
    When it's 4 years in a row, I think it's a fair argument, yes. But if we want to turn this into a playoffs/crapshoot discussion, that's kind of a different thing.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The bullpen was not a strength. But the first place finishes suggest that was not a big issue. And when trying to show it was what cost them titles, using that one pitch by Benoit is fun, but not really fact-based.
  24. Bellhorn04
    We'll never know unless Mookie tells all someday. Which he won't. He's a tough and smart cookie. I respect that.
  25. Bellhorn04
    One bad pitch to a great hitter from a guy who had an excellent season? C'mon man.
