    I assume that because I've been watching his presumed replacement play at 2B.
  2. jad
    And who are you going to delegate to execute that plan and find replacements: Bloom?
  3. jad
    I always turn the sound off when music comes on: S.C. is one of the worst. Close behind the SSpBanner. But the absolute worst, particularly when you're at the park and everyone expects you to stand and get all weepy chauvinistic is God Bl A.
  4. jad
    Let's just call these guys what they are (or will be, once Bloom gets rid of Bogey, Devers and JD): our "core." Just think how formidable they will be when joined by the boat-load of untested prospects we are so excited about getting.
  5. jad
    We'll find out once Bloom starts compiling his list of over-paid mediocrities to replace Bogey and Devers.
  6. jad
    Oh I guarantee a win! (Just not entirely sure which team will get it.)
  7. jad
    Ah, just dreaming of all those prospects we're going to get for Devers.
  8. jad
    Yes. Absolutely. Because I don't enjoy watching Bogaerts or Devers any less because the rest of the team sucks.
  9. jad
    So you're ok with Bloom replacing a 'face-of-the-franchise' player with someone half as good for what might be the same amount of money?
  10. jad
    It's just so unfair that the RS have to play teams better than they are.
  11. jad
    Yeah, you're right. Why, one of them might even be the next Trevor Story!
  12. jad
    Yeah, because you sure as hell don't want to offer Bogey Trevor-Story money!
  13. jad
    When did player "value" become "what I could get for him in trade?" To me, the "value" of a player is how well they perform and how much fans like watching them play, not the hypothetical haul of prospects one could get by getting rid of them.
  14. jad
    Afraid I agree. And I have no doubt the FO will adopt the strategy: when your team sucks, identify the best players and get rid of them.

  16. jad
    I am, and was, aware of that!
  17. jad
    I'm not sure Story becomes acceptable simply because there are some players out there who are even worse.
  18. jad
    Given the dismal performance of game-thread initiators this year, I'll try one, with a guarantee that at the end of the day, my record will be as good as anyone else's.
  19. jad
    In my experience, whenever you ask questions like this: "How bad could it get?" "What could POSSIBLY happen?" "How much lower could we go?" you tend to find out.

    The obsession with 'closer' is something I don't understand. You don't need a 'set-up' guy, an '8th inning' guy and a 'closer'. Mario Riviera wasn't a great pitcher BECAUSE he was a great closer. He was a great closer because he was a great pitcher. Same is true here: the RS pitching hasn't been ineffective bec. they don't have set roles; it's ineffective bec. the pitchers themselves are ineffective. Once again: this is Bloom/henry's fault, not Cora's.
  21. jad
    Oh, Bloom and Henry (who are responsible for this mess and more to come), already have their fall guy in place. You know they won't fire themselves.
  22. jad
    Hey! Stop criticizing Dugo! He's one of Bloom's guys!
  23. jad
    So the problem with the RS this year is Scott Boras?
  24. jad
    Yeah, we don't need Bogey, we got Story!
  25. jad
    Did you forget about Devers? I don't know what ihis OBP is, but Ill bet it's above his average, which alone is better than .310.
