    Its beyond ugly. Its meaningless and irrelevant. The time for ugly was two months ago.

    Thats what makes this season so (and I will be nice)....disappointing. It IS a good team. They just didn't bother to show up this year. Its a team that should have made the playoffs.

    Brasier was a flash in the pan.

    Not good at all....three runs in less than five innings. If carried out over 9 innings its an ERA of over 6. Nothing to be happy about. An example of why this team sucks this year.

    They have been mailing it in ALL YEAR. Did anyone expect it to be different in September??

    I heard he already has an offer on the table, actually. Selling cars with Daniel Bard.
  7. FredLynn
    Its Saltalamacchia....he needs to be fired along with Levangie. How can you keep Levangie?

    Who is this other announcer with OB? He is awful. Worse than listening to the paint dry.

    Henry is not an automaton. Unless his middle name is "Data" emotions and some degree of subjectivity will always affect his decisions. I think he is calculating, but certainly not free from emotions and subjectivity. And unlike Kimmi's stated opinion, I don't think this was a panic move. He just thought it was time for a change, that DD isn't the GM to lead a rebuild.

    Cora also had a bad year. I would give him one more year, but I would not be surprised if they canned him too.

    The "major changes" were inevitable, playoffs or no playoffs. The team simply isn't going to afford to keep the core it has now and add enough players to make them competitive year after year. Betts is going to get paid; Sale and Eovaldi and Bogaerts are already getting paid. The bullpen needs an upgrade; so does the farm system-we cannot trade for marquee players or sign them as FAs forever without an ongoing source of cheap quality labor from our farm system. Now whether the changes had to happen in 2020 or 2021 is up for debate, but eventually they HAD to happen. Like I said, its going to be a sad couple of years for Sox fans I think. Unless you are also a Patriots fan :-)

    I think its more than just about not making the playoffs. I think that the handwriting is on the wall for a rebuild now. DD is not the right guy for a rebuild; he is a destroyer of farm systems. Henry knows that. This is going to be just the tip of the iceberg. Mookie will probably get moved this offseason; we can't afford him. My guess is that Cora gets one more year. If he manages like a brain dead cockroach like he did this year he will be gone the following year. It won't take long to rebuild, maybe a couple of years. But major changes are afoot and its probably not going to be a lot of fun to be a Sox fan for a while.

    About time for Moreland...
  14. FredLynn
    LeVangie should be fired if he was the one responsible for this bankrupt scatterbrained strategy.
  15. FredLynn
    Point made. Good thing we will not have Porcello to kick around next year. Or Bradley. Or Leon.
  16. FredLynn
    Fixed

    On OUR staff he is the ace. I doubt many other teams would look at a guy with an ERA of nearly 4 (3.97) as ace material.
  18. FredLynn
    Now that its over why not let as many minor leaguers as possible get a cup of coffee at the ML level?

    Most prognostications I saw here were in the 90+ win area about two months ago.
  20. FredLynn
    Actually, I am proud for foreseeing the future of this team months ago. While others were mostly irrationally optimistic I saw a team that was going nowhere for many reasons: SPing, not being ready to start the season, playing brain dead baseball too often, managerial mistakes...etc. I am proud of being a realist and seeing that my assessment of this team was correct.
  21. FredLynn
    If his ERA was just 4.30 I could live with his contract. But its nearly 6 this year. I am not going to miss him.
  22. FredLynn
    We are right on course for 86 wins despite our crappy rotation. Despite that fact the pen has been OK and the offense has been pretty good. I don't think I will be off by more than a game or two at the most.
  23. FredLynn
    LMFAO.....what a horrible useless player Porcello is
  24. FredLynn
    If the Red Sox want to have any chance to win this they better get someone up in the pen right now.
  25. FredLynn
    Moreland has all he can do just to try to make contact. Hopefully we can get rid of him next year too.
