    Not mine. I'm asking YOU to set the over/unders. I would bet that he's not here opening day 2025? I'd say that's even money.

    I think Refsnyder batting third is more the result of ChatGPT. .

    So far Bloom has gotten rid of ALL high-priced guys and replaced them with "his" guys--generally cheaper and less productive. I'm curious--why do you think Devers' situation is different? That no one in the RS organization will say, "Hey, John. Look. Here's a way to put a couple of hundred million in your pocket." What in the past history of three years of so makes you think JH is committed to keeping him? Because everything I see suggests he will soon be gone and there will be plenty of teams willing to take on his contract.

    What are the over/unders on when Devers demands a trade? Win/win situation. Devers gets to play with a serious team, and MOST IMPORTANT, John Henry gets another 300million in his pocket.

    A 'healthy Story'!!! OMG that's funny! STop, you're killing me!!!
  6. jad
    But what team would want them? Except maybe a team that got rid of an all-star OF, SS, DH recently and needs a utility player to compensate for them?

    The RS can't even play intelligibly enough to be understood by professional sports broadcasters

    WTF???? TWO RUNS DOWN in the 9th???? You BUNT? Even the Rays announcers are baffled.

    More RS defense! Did Vertugo forget the rules of baseball? (Looking again, it must be that he expected the cut-off guy to take the throw better? But he doesn't seem like he would show up a team-mate in that case. Guy must have been in the wrong place?)
  10. jad
    TOTALLY agree. I actually spend a fair amount of time flipping channels to see Bogaerts and Betts play. Those guys are a lot of fun to watch (but that of course has no place in BLoomian/Henrician/analytical/corporate-greed economics).

    I'm not sure I would suggest Devers stop doing what he is doing (and ... oops, was that another HR?) and follow the advice of "casual Sox fans".
  12. jad
    Oh there certainly is! They will pitch, hit, and field even worse than they are now.
  13. jad
    Well, at least the RS defense is clicking on all cylinders.
  14. jad
    The RS have no chance.
  15. jad
    Yeah, Bloom has totally fixed the farm! Of course, there are no middle infielders or outfielders that good enough to be called up even in emergencies, or first basemen or pitchers. But everywhere else, Portland and Worcester are just FULL of future all-stars.
  16. jad
    Yeah, it's really a shame and bad luck that, even over the salary cap, the RS just don't have a fair shot at signing players like Betts, Bogaerts, Benintendi, Vazquez, J.D. Martinez and players like that.
  17. jad
    So how much time does he get? All the average fan (e.g., me--who likes to watch great athletes and familiar athletes perform) sees is the loss: Bogey, Betts, Vaz, Beni, JBJ ... etc., and in return, nothing but broken-down, injury prone guys (now on DL), or guys with what I'll call 'character' issues hanging over them. Guys like that are, from an economic (analytics) standpoint, good deals. But if you care about your customers, they're the worst.
  18. jad
    It's a roster built by a former Rays employee who obviously had no idea what those who made the real decisions in Tampa were thinking.
  19. jad
    But wait--Bloom apologists have claimed repeatedly that he's 'building up the farm.' Odd that in those years of boy-genius building up the farm, there is not a single shortstop who could even come up in an emergency.
  20. jad
    But the good part is that the stream I get will use the Rays feed, so I won't have to listen to the NESN booth.
  21. jad
    Big game hunting.
  22. jad
    golf
  23. jad
    Come on, now. It's not Bloom's fault there were no free-agent Shortstops available this winter.
  24. jad
    Yeah, looks like Brasier's now found his role! And as for shortstop, how come that wasn't a problem last year?
  25. jad
    It was to allow for a rain-out on opening day, no?
