    Are the Flops mathematically eliminated yet?

    3-0 Game over
  3. FredLynn
    Just tuned in. Already losing the game. Gonna be a long season.
  4. FredLynn
    Glad to see that so many other people here are developing a REALISTIC look at the prospects for the FLOPS this year. Fourth place.
  5. FredLynn
    Yeah-I watched that game. Great comeback! They never gave up, unlike these bums.

    3-0 Game over
  7. FredLynn
    It was over when I called it-right after Suarez’ hr.
  8. FredLynn
    I didn’t like the signing. They should have spent money on a better hitter-like E Suarez
  9. FredLynn
    He’s just not that good. Very average.

    Game over
  11. FredLynn
    Probably going to be like that all year. I expect they will be average to lower third in runs scored this year. Gotta be able to hit the ball out of the park with some regularity.

    Rafaela is on the bench. I'll need to find someone else to whine about I guess.....what's Wong been up to?
  13. FredLynn
    I see he pitched a MASTERPIECE !
  14. FredLynn
    Watch and weep. Gray is a decent #4 SP. The fact that he is starting game 2 would seem to indicate that management foolishly regards him as our #2 SP. He isn't.

    I remember being wrong once..........................but I was mistaken I am very comfortable with my predictions about this season. I think we will be slightly better than last year by a win or two, but since the other teams improved more than the FLOPS I don't think we will beat them out to a playoff spot. Too bad too......we could have had a great year except for ...................well, everyone knows why.
  16. FredLynn
    You book it.....and book your loss too. Truth is, even if they squeak into the playoffs it will be another fast exit. That was fine last year. This year I expected more. And there could have been more if Henry wasn't so cheap.

    LOL. Show me where I wrote that I believe that ST numbers mean much. I don't, so good luck. I do believe that Seabeach was correct in that on a team basis going into the season with some momentum IS important, but on an individual basis.....preseason stats are next to meaningless.

    I think its fair to say that the Sox offer to Alonso was not competitive because of the number of years guaranteed. It was LOWER than what the O's offered him, obviously. Had we signed him I think our offseason would have been complete and our team improved. Right now I do not think we will score enough runs to compete for a ring, or even for a playoff spot.
  19. FredLynn
    They could finish as high as third...but no playoffs. That might be OK with you. Its not OK with me.
  20. FredLynn
    We already have visibility. Fourth place. Sellers at the deadline. Maybe third if the Orioles underperform.
  21. FredLynn
    From what I read their offer to Alonso was not competitive. They didn't even try to get Schwarber. I think you cannot make a team comprised solely of top end talent like Betts, Alonso, Schwarber etc. You need a mix of excellent players and players who don't suck but are more average to slightly below average. What frosts me is that this year we had a chance to be really relevant and have a shot at a ring. I don't think many people believe that is the case anymore.
  22. FredLynn
    Which Fred? I have repeatedly said the he spends, but not enough relative to his means
  23. FredLynn
    I didn’t say he NEVER spends. He just doesn’t do it often enough. Had he loosened his purse strings this year and signed a premier bat instead of some of the guys he fished out of the dumpster we could have been in the top five competing for a ring. He’s allowing a window of opportunity to pass by.
  24. FredLynn
    Well it’s pretty clear that their policy is to avoid paying market value for top end talent. Suarez is good but he came at a cost that was less than top of the line talent this offseason -and he was an exception. Both Schwarber and Alonso got more. Henry just doesn’t pay up the way he can afford to. Too many examples exist to deny that fact.
  25. FredLynn
    The "good reason" was that the Flops have a policy, apparently, of not signing prime talent at market cost. Instead they tend to make insulting offers (eg: John Lester) and as a result struggle to even MAKE the playoffs let alone be serious competitors for a ring. This year will be no different. It will not be any different as long as cheapskate John Henry owns the team.
