I’m so sorry you feel that way But let me correct you. A “ troll” intentionally stirs the pot just to stir the pot. Everything I write here is something I actually believe in. For example, if I write that the game is over (and by your own admission I’m right more often than not) then I believe it’s over. If I write that Rafaela stinks or that the flops are a franchise of chokers that’s what I believe. Each to his own. See the difference? And frankly I don’t give a rats ass if you agree with what I write or even if you detest it. Why don’t you just ignore what I write. You might feel more balanced that way. Oh-and the name calling is personal and offensive. Comment on my posts if you like but the personal s*** is beneath you. 🙄

And deprive you and others here of my expert and supportive commentary? Never! Knowing that the Guardians are more deserving of a berth in the playoffs than the Flops is one thing. Becoming a fan of that team is another thing entirely!
-
González has 289 ABs. I guess you could call him an every day player. If he isn’t good enough to fill that role it’s up to our GM to find a better player.
-
Bregman isn’t going anywhere.
-
The Flops were on track to win a WS in 1986 when Buckner made his infamous error in game 6 with the flops ahead in the series 3-2. They went on to choke away a chance for a ring. It’s who they are. They find a way to choke.
-
That’s a post that attempts to use injuries as an excuse for poor performance. Injured players aren’t in the lineup, I don’t blame Breslow for the injuries. But I ABSOLUTELY blame him for not bringing in the talent at the TD to maximize the chances of success. The M&M twins? Really? 👎👎👎
-
Nah Go Guardians! They deserve the playoffs more than the FLOPS do. This team, this franchise, is a bunch of chokers. At one point recently they were nearly a lock to make the playoffs. Now its less than 50-50. How many times in the last 10-15 years has this group of bums choked away a significant lead......more than any other team I think. 1978, 1986, 2003, and 2011...is there more? You can add 2025 to the list. Worse franchise in the Boston area by far.
-
The Astros have more lost WAR than the FLOPS yet they are in first place 15 games over .500. They seem to have managed well enough. Our guys simply didn't suck it up. Instead they just sucked. Not single player on the injured list got an AB since they went on the list. Its up to the players who ARE playing to perform. Obviously they have not. Instead they have AGAIN folded at crunch time. Its who this franchise is. Chokers.
-
Bregman, Yoshida, Gonzalez, Rafaela-they all have been stinking. So has our starting catcher to a lesser extent. I’m not asking Eaton and Hamilton to lead the team to October. It’s the regular players I expect more from. And I DEFINITELY expected more from Breslow at the TD. He whiffed.
-
And those who are ML capable are stinking. Fact is, this team simply doesn’t have the talent to deserve the playoffs. And that’s Breslows fault. He needs to be fired.
-
Thanks. Flops fans are entirely too willing to play the injury card to apologize for guys stinking. The fact is that the regulars out there with few exceptions simply haven’t sucked it up and played well. I’m not going to let anyone excuse their performance and blame injuries. That’s BS. It is the culture of the Boston Red Flops to choke down the stretch. I don’t see that changing until Henry sells the team and new management is put in place. This is by far the worse run franchise in the Boston area.
-
3-6 if they’re lucky.
-
The problem is not the injuries. The problem is that the guys who ARE in the lineup aren’t performing. Bregman. Gonzalez. Rafaela. Yoshida. Refsnider. To a lesser extent Narvaez. Etc if you asked the manager and the players about why the team isn’t going to make the playoffs I doubt very much that they would excuse their performance by playing the injury card.. I won’t either.
-
Again, I am not going to go down the list of injuries for every team. That information is available to you if you’re interested. Injuries are an excuse that is convenient for people who like to excuse poor performances. Bregman isn’t injured now, is he? He is still stinking. So is Gonzalez. And Rafaela? Is he injured? These guys are just sucking. Maybe if they didn’t suck we would have made the playoffs. Now that seems very unlikely. Fact is, performing well is up to the players who are playing. The bums we are trotting out there just aren’t doing their jobs. Btw, I looked at your link. Seems two teams right in there (Astros and Dodgers) are worse off than us and the Jays are very close-yet they lead the division. Injuries=excuses
-
Oh-so injuries to other teams don’t count? Only Flops injuries are responsible for us stinking? Injuries are just an excuse. Fact is, this team has historically flopped over and over again. It’s their personality. No sense denying it.
-
At best. And no playoff games. Again. It’s what this franchise is: bums and chokers.
-
Judge missed time. Cole missed the entire season. I don’t want to go down the list of injuries for every team. Everyone has injuries. If we had a significant injury (and we did) what did our GM do to address it?
-
I’m saying that every team has injuries they need to deal with. The Yankmees lost Cole for the entire season and they are right on the heels of the Jays for the AL pennant. Judge also missed time and can barely reach the infield from RF. Breslow knew we had injuries. What did he do to address them?
-
I'll contact them. Look for a revision by tonight. Do you really believe that we have a 90% chance at making the playoffs? Cleveland is peaking, we are tanking. By the end of the day its one game in the lost column separating us.
-
Talking about injuries, which every team has=excuses.
-
Well....now the Guardians are up 3-1 over the Tigers. If things hold its a one game lead for the last WC. The FLOPS are sinking like a rock. I put their playoff chances at maybe 20% due to a difficult remaining schedule and the fact that we just aren't a good team deserving of Oct baseball. Breslow failed.
-
If you look at the OPS numbers for the FLOPS after the first three batters in today's lineup the only player with an OPS over .690 is NATE EATON, a part time player. Thats five guys below .690. Its no wonder we can't score runs. Wonder who is responsible for providing the team with talented players....hmmm.
-
Game over. The FLOPS will not score five runs. The Guardians might not win but if they do its just a one game lead for the last WC. And we have to play the Jays and the Tigers, both of which are much better teams.
-
One more run for the As and I’m going to have to call it over. The Flops can’t score. They are on the brink of losing a home series to one of the WORST TEAMS in the league. Pathetic
-
Fail to believe me at your own peril!
