  1. I do disagree with you for sure on point number 2. For the record, i do not consider you a whiner or a gloom and doomer. I also know that there won't be anything I say that is going to have much of an effect on what your thoughts or concerns are. I'm smarter than to think I can work that angle with you.lol Once again, for the record, i don't really care who the GM is as long as they are moving us toward the common goal. my concern is directed toward the players. I think Theo was great. I don't think that Ben was as good as you think he was. I like the aggressive moves that DD has made for the most part.
  2. Potatoe, potato - I do call it whining. Not everyone here who says something positive about what DD does needs to be branded "anti Ben" or anyone else. if losing the players that you mentioned dampens your future hopes and dreams with respect to our franchise, so be it. I feel sorry for you and anyone else who feels the same. oh well, I'm very much looking forward to the next 10 years of Red Sox baseball. No looking back for me. I'm a historian of sorts so I do appreciate Red Sox history,but I see the future being very bright. Thank you Theo, thank you Ben, I choose to look in the other direction.
  3. You know what - this is a tired whine. win now win now win now. I'm really curious to know what posters you are referring to. Most of us have given credit where credit is due to our illustrious gm's throughout the years. Disagreeing with someone's point of view with respect to the direction that the franchise wants to take toward accomplishing special things does not necessarily mean that someone is in "win now mode" . There are many posters here who truly do not think that Dombrowski has done anything to dampen our future dreams. Has he done things differently then Ben cxerington did? Of course. Liking what DD does does not mean that you disliked what Ben did.
  4. A little love for what Vazquez got done last night too. How many teams out there wish they had one of what we have 2 of? this could turn into one of the great job-shares in franchise history.
  5. I just worry about pitchers in general. Haven't read anything about Kppech yet but I do wish we still had him. I have read about Moncada's start.
  6. good to hear - health is the key
  7. This is pretty much how I felt exactly. Once again, he is young, left handed, and big. He seems like a hard working young man. there is absolutely nothing there that we have seen to be negative about. I have been down on some of our guys in the past for sure but normally it is because of something that relates to them doing or saying something that I just don't agree with. This kid has done nothing that I have of heard of to cause anyone to be down on him. Relax and enjoy I say. It is possible believe it or not that he has already accomplished more at the ml league level than Espinoza ever will. I hope that I am wrong but I would take a young ml proven pitcher with upside over a teenager who is years away all day every day. Oh wait - years from now if I am proven wrong, i will eat that crow as well. And for the record - allthough I am not into animal cruelty - I'll get that crow myself. Had a little experience - lol
  8. You are right and I am guessing that it isn't just New England thing though. The gloom and doomers can be overwhelming. There is 0 happening to not be excited about. Today as well as tomorrow. The current ownership has and continues to show that they are willing to use all ways to build and sustain a healthy franchise. No one is operating on a win now at all costs philosophy. The farm has been dented but not at the expense of our future. On going on record here once again - Although I absolutely agree with the deal that brought us Chris Sale, the only prospect that I think we are going to someday really want back = Moncada.
  9. Good night for Swihart - single, home run, 3 rbi's
  10. yup - just heard it again - Bucksnorts out with an injury. That gd shoulder program we have just keeps working its magic.lol
  11. Nice job for Pomeranz tonight. He is young, he is big, he can throw. Mid 90's with a superb breaking ball. i might be the only person here who thought that this was a decent trade for the Sox. Regardless of wether the trade ultimately works out or not, this kid deserves a few positive comments.
  12. makes sense 90 throws - good game!
  13. Maybe Davis and that's it? We'll see.
  14. he hit 95 early- I'm sure that he is tired. If he does come back out there, I hope it is a very short leash.
  15. 6 innings - 3 hits - 0 runs I'm feeling good for him.
  16. Hey - did I just hear that buck snort just left a game due to injury? if I heard right - really that gd medical and training staff from boston must have struck again.
  17. He looks one s*** load better than good so far.
  18. I'm not sure that they are any worse than those of any other team. I really only follow us in any great detail.
  19. I think that it is notable I just don't see it as being a negative thing in any way. Pitching is so unpredictable that more often than not it is a case of being damned if you do or don't. Sale is for sure an ace. I bet we all agree on that one. As much as I like Porcello, I'm not going to say that that signing was a stroke of genius. Who knew that we had a potential MVP with that sign. I don't know whether DD will wind up proving to be better or worse than anyone else who has done his job. What I do know, is that I like a GM who addresses needs and isn't afraid to make moves that he thinks will give his team a chance to win.
  20. I really was just kidding around. i really only truly follow the Sox but my bet would be that every major league franchise fights with similar issues.
  21. It has to be because of the Red Sox shoulder strengthening program! it has even affected Espinoza way over on the left coast. Damn Red Sox medical and training staff. There are too many of them to begin with. Too many to count on opening day.
  22. I wonder if somebody can blame DD for this one. Maybe he should have traded him ? I think that it is a crapshoot with any pitcher. The one prospect I am going to miss watching develop is the one that I think could become a true superstar - Moncada. He is off to a red hot start in AAA. I say this but I am very happy we acquired a true ace in Sale! Good to see Devers off to a good start as well.
  23. yes you have mentioned that by the way!!! I think that I am beginning to be contrary just for the sake of it. I would love nothing more than to see Pomeranz come back and pitch well. For the Red Sox sake of course but also for Pomeranz and so that I could have a good laugh.
