Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand hate and vitriol for those reasons.

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
Hitch replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I didn't want Bregman for those years or money, but felt we had painted ourselves into a corner and needed to get it done in the end. -
I've been somewhat surprised by how many people are going to bat for Cora and the coaches. We've been horribly prepared for most of their tenure (we weren't even prepared for the ABS system). We've made a disgusting amount of errors for most of their tenure. And there was clearly two camps ignoring each other when it came to hitting. Then add in the regression of everyone this year... It was absolutely time to clean house. Whether they've got it right, we'll soon see. As will Breslow as it's his show now. I also feel quite uncomfortable with the hate Breslow gets. It's different to others I've seen, more viscera and personal. It's quite odd.

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I

Yes and no. Having some more veterans on the team would have been very valuable to the team. Hearing all the recent stories about Bregman, Anthony at the very least would have be in a better place with him here. Bottom line is we put a lot of pressure on players to carry the offence that weren't ready. Bregman was the big miss. -
Benintendi had 1.6 war over his last two years with us. Then went 2.9, 2.9, 2.3 per season elsewhere. Verdugo actually did better than I thought year 1 with Yankees. If we can't judge Hamilton, we certainly can't judge Ref.
-
Verdugo and Beni? Really? Ref has been gone 2 minutes. Vaz was on the down slope.
-
As I posted in another thread - Cora and his coaches had a lot to answer for.
-
Can't you two just put each other on ignore? Your continued and childish obsession with each other is making threads hard to read.
-
Fair questions.
-
I didn't see yesterday's game - that was the most I've enjoyed a game in a while.
-
That's what I really like about this move. Hopefully it has the desired effect.
-
That might be the worst challenge of the season.
-
Durbin may be struggling with the bat but he hoovers everything up at 3rd. I really like Early. We've got a good one there. Him, Tolle, the Pig and Suarez is going to be some 4 if they stay healthy.
-
I don't think it helped continually batting him first, either. But yeah, a little more help than just Contreras would have been helpful.
-
Nice to see us running again, too.
-
I think people need to get off Anthony. Way, way too much pressure has been put on him. He's looked very good in his first spell up. Let's take the temperature out of what we're expecting of him and just let him play without expecting absolute eliteness in his first full year.
-
Well this is a little more enjoyable. Better at bats all round tonight for most.
-
I still have some hope he'll start hitting again.
-
I'd be very surprised to see that this year.
-
Go where, though? They aren't eating his contract. Nobody is taking him. I really like what I see from Mona.
-
Fred currently waiting for something bad to happen so he can come in and say 'just tuned in...'
-
Yup the guy at the end of the phone blew that one.
-
Got to challenge there!
-
Exciting times ahead.
-
I'm good with Monasterio starting (I like what I see with him), but surprised to see him at SS.
