I think I read that the Flops pen has been #1 in baseball since the ASB-not sure of the time frame but it’s been very good
-
No way Anthony wasn't going to come through there. He is going to be some kind of player over his career.
-
Are you getting this game? Probably because its a home game for you, at least on your home TV station. BTW: Toto is Dorothy's dog.....he doesn't play baseball
-
I know you guys miss my expert commentary but don't worry: I'll be back tomorrow!
-
Chance the Flops score here: zero
-
I did pay for MLB with the understanding that occasionally I would run into this nonsense where AppleTV has the game. Its fine. I can live without seeing the game once in a while. There's probably a way to do it but its not worth the effort. Its already the 7th inning I think.
-
I see....so its the normal lack of control of the zone.....I'm doing pretty well just watching gameday in the background.
-
Good. You should be after the management again sat on the fence instead of either getting the players we needed or been sellers. You must be a real Flops fan if you are disappointed.
-
This is what players do when they are demoralized.....swing at a lot of first pitches just to get the game over with
-
Don't read them.
-
Just correcting your misrepresentation. You seem to need that sometimes.
-
If management didn’t want to give the team what they needed to become competitive in October then they should have been sellers. This BS of playing it on the fence leads to perpetual mediocrity. Is that to your liking? Id rather they sucked
-
They’re demoralized. They needed a couple of steaks and management bought them cheetoes
-
I don’t know why you have Apple plus but it’s not free with Hulu: No, Apple TV+ is not free with a Hulu subscription. Apple TV+ is a separate streaming service with its own content, and it requires a separate subscription ”

Must lose. Losing more games gets us a better draft pick and increases the chances we won’t make the playoffs in which case Breslow and Cora are likely gone.
-
You must mean it’s a good thing YOU can’t watch it. You very much need my commentary. And you know it
-
I can’t watch it either. Probably a good thing.
-
I think the players are going to be pretty angry that management failed to give them the boost they needed to make a serious run in October. It’s a slap in the face and it must be pretty demoralizing. Flops lose at least 2 of 3 vs the Astros.
-
That’s very likely to happen. Look for a major swoon this month. That’s not a bad thing. Since we won’t be playing ball in October we do need to improve our position in the next draft.
-
Yes, there were a lot of excuses made by Breslow in the media today about how “hard we tried but couldn’t match up”…..weep weep weee..p. I have no sympathy for an incompetent GM nor for a cheapskate owner who happens to be a multibillionaire. It’s their JOB to get the deals done and they failed miserably AGAIN. The team needed a couple of steaks to be able to make noise in October and they were given Cheetoes. Better to have been sellers and plan to be competitive in a couple of years. All the other teams in the playoff hunt improved significantly and Breslow played the fiddle. Your mindless optimism is noted however, and dismissed.
-
I think you underestimate Red Sox fans. They know that we lack the talent this year to make a good Oct run unless we get a significant infusion of players that fill our needs. I would have applauded being a seller and tanking for draft picks-that will likely happen now anyway. There will always be bonnetheads whose baseless optimism and mindless support of the losers currently infesting the roster clouding reality, but most Sox fans know the truth about this year's team: not good enough.
-
Well I do. Breslow screwed up. Again.
-
This makes two years of sitting on the fence. That is absolutely NOT the way to manage a team. You make your decision to go all in and give your team the players it needs to make the playoffs (after which anything can happen) OR you sell. Sitting on the fence is more of the same, and its BS.
-
The players knew what the team needed: a good RH bat to play 1B, a good SP to work as our #2, and a backup catcher to replace Wong, who has been awful. I remember reading comments in years past from the players saying the same thing: "we knew what we needed and management didn't come through". Its a slap in the face and it tells the players that management doesn't have the confidence that its worth supporting this team with the players it needs to make a deep Oct run. I think you'll see a pronounced summer swoon now.
-
The message this sends to the players is clear: "we do not believe in you enough to provide you with the additional help you need to make a run at a ring". It has to be demoralizing so I expect that many will give up to an extent and the tanking I wanted before the deadline will take place naturally now. Henry has to sell the team....its the only way.
