    I continue to try and stay positive, and I don't believe we are as bad as we are making ourselves look, but man is it getting old feeling the game is over the moment the other team gets a 3-0 lead.
  2. Hitch
    Yes, but it was VERY early. An absurdly small sample size. Any other roster he'd have had the chance to hit out of it. But this 5 into 3 kills any of that.
  3. Hitch
    Not to defend him too much because he's been poor, but he seems to have suffered the most from this outfield mess. He is a guy that needs to play every day and keep his rhythm.

    Oh dear...

    He's also looking a little frail to me recently. So a change coming along in the next few years wouldn't shock me.

    I've really soured quickly on Cora. I actively want him gone at this point. I've not felt this way about any manager. I'm just at my end of seeing us make dumb mistakes and enter seasons unprepared. Time for a wholesale change. Bres I'm okay with having another year or two.

    I couldn't agree more. As a big fan of a European football club, I've made this point before - Red Sox fans have no idea how bad an owner can be. Especially when you get to the levels of money needed to buy them that the Red Sox is now at. The other thing to consider - would fans be happy being owned by the Saudi's or Qatari's? Sports washing gets old quick.

    Ain't that the truth.

    Crotchet seems pretty adamant he's fine, so we'll see. If he isn't, this season is DOA.

    My favourite Fred tactic is the - 'I've just tuned in' when something bad happens. Not so much when we win or play well. There are several posters who you can see are desperate for the team to be bad so they can attack ownership. They want it, they would prefer us to be bad so they can say they were right. Fred is the cheerleader of this group. That said, his multiple complaints are not without basis. And if they don't pull out of whatever this is in the next few weeks he'll be well within his rights to go into overdrive.

    Again, the comment was to show how useless a comparison to Crochet for Tolle was in this example, when there were vastly different elements at play for Crochet. You've used 10,000 words to miss it again. With the veracity, mass, and sometimes sarcastic nature in which you post, you can claim to think deeply about everything you decide to post if you want, but I simply don't believe you. 👍 Either way, I think the topic has run its course.

    I don't believe Crochet was the closer the CWS. And the point (that is continually being missed) is that he came into that bullpen with the freedom to develop against MLB pitching because they were not in a race. Tolle still needs much development and would not get the same luxury if promoted (which he won't be). Any other issues with it - take it up with the people thinking it was a good comparison. I thought it was a stupid one when I first read it. I think it's a stupid one now.
  13. Hitch
    You obviously didn't understand my point. It was that Crochet was able to develop in a pen that was not under pressure to deliver results because the CWS were not competing. Tolle would not have that luxury or space to develop while being in this pen. Something you seem to have given no thought to. And he very much has a lot of development to go. Luckily this is all moot because they won't bring him up in that role. As they shouldn't.
  14. Hitch
    I refuse to believe you can have read my post and think my point has anything to do with this reply.
  15. Hitch
    Right? Logic is out the window these days. It's day to day on every judgement.
  16. Hitch
    You're comparing apples to I don't know what the hell. Where was Crotchet in his development curve? And does the fact that the WS were winning like 40 games a year, meaning they can have him develop against MLB hitters with absolutely zero concerns about the the outcome of a game, mean nothing to you? You need bullpen help - go and get it. (We've literally got two proven MLB pitchers back any time now by the way, so why you'd even look at Tolle boggles the mind). When your stud prospect has work to do on all his secondary pitchers, you do that work, not call him up to a bull pen to throw one pitch. I think this weird start has broken the mind of a few people.
  17. Hitch
    So a completely different scenario? Gotcha.
  18. Hitch
    I see it the same way, assuming Crawford and Sandoval end up in a good place.
  19. Hitch
    Man, I really hope we get this right. Not just for us, but for a guy who must have thought he had a great career ahead of him at the start of last year.
  20. Hitch
    What has Monasterio done wrong that warrants sending down?
  21. Hitch
    What is up with that! I saw Cora say last year that they were working on getting him to pull more. Weird how he's still not able to do it.
  22. Hitch
    Those benefits are far outweighed by the benefit of actually spending time working on the pitches he still needs to develop to become the top line starter we hope. He has a lot of development left to do. We can get pen help from numerous places if need be. Disrupting the schedule of our best prospect is not one of them. Thankfully, the FO see it the same way.
  23. Hitch
    Yes really. He's got a tonne of stuff he needs to work on to still become what we need him to be. Let him work on those things.
  24. Hitch
    It would be very helpful if they beat the Twins in this next series, because they then have a seriously tough run after it - Tigers Yankees Orioles Blue Jays Astros Rays Phillies Braves
  25. Hitch
    Absolutely not. You don't f*** around with your best starting pitching prospect so you can get some help in the pen.
