A game thread that was only one page long? Where are all my game threaders?
-
Perez looked so good for the 1st two innings. Really good. Then he just fell apart in the 3rd.
-
Manny Ramirez, at the age of 48, has just signed with the Australian Baseball League. LOL
-
LOL Bogaerts and Moreland doing what they do to give us 1st and 3rd with no outs. Can the Sox score???

Yesterday was a good day for non-Yankees fans. The Yankees are now 9-13 against teams not named the Red Sox, and only 1/2 game up on the Buffalo Blue Jays.

I have always felt like Cashman was a good GM who was too heavily influenced, or rather strong-armed, by the powers that be around him. That said, he has been the GM for an awfully long time. Maybe it's time for a fresh look.

100% with you Bell.

I think you need to go back to being the TS historian. I like to know what's going on with our posters, past and present.

I disagree about his attitude. He gets a bum rap on that.

Not really. In hindsight, it worked out really well that we traded him. But Price was traded before the pandemic shut baseball down, before it was known that Sale needed surgery, and before ERod's heart issues due to COVID. None of knew that we would have a shortened season and that Price would opt out. We could have had a good rotation. At the time the trade happened, my feeling was that we need the starting pitching more than we needed Mookie. (That is not the same as saying that Price is a better player than Mookie.) At that time, I didn't think we should have traded Price.

I am still in shock.

Yes, I realize that there's almost always a team that is willing to pay an arm and a leg for those top free agents. I just prefer it not be the Sox.

Sometimes, you gotta love Boone.

You need to post more often Hitch.

100% Oldtimer. Well said. I am thankful for the 2018 World Series and would not trade it to have our farm system back, but I have never been a fan of that approach to building a winning team. Bloom seems to be the right guy to get us back on track for long term sustainability. Obviously, the result is still out on that. Large contracts should be a very rare exception (and by large contracts, I mean 6-7 years, not 10+ years), not the norm.

Workman has been extremely shaky since being traded to the Phillies. He has successfully saved 2 out of the 3 games he appeared in, but neither save was very clean. One save came on a bang bang play at the plate.

Amen, brother.

We should have never traded Price.
-
Tonight's game has been officially postponed.

Ha, sounds very cat like. Dogs are awesome. End of story.

It is never a good idea to take a player into arbitration. It's not just the Red Sox with Mookie, it's any team with any player. That's how arbitration hearings go. Theo had that long record of not having to go to arbitration with any players, and people kind of rolled their eyes whenever it was mentioned, but there was good reason behind Theo's diligence to that. In short, I agree with you about the arbitration process possibly hurting the team's relationship with Mookie. We are going to have to sign free agents. There is no way around that. If Henry maintains his patience and allows Bloom to do his job, Bloom should be able to sign quality players. I'm not talking about dumpster diving. I'm just not talking about Mookie Betts all star type players. There are a lot of good quality players in between, for a fraction of the cost. As far as some of those impulsive contracts you speak of, we have Lucchino to thank for that. He is King of the Shiny New Toy.

Yes, that is definitely some consolation. Even better when they lose one with their ace on the mound. -
Amen, brother.

NO!!!

Our team looks horrible this year because so many of the position players are under performing. Not saying that anyone is, but one should not let the poor play of the team this year make them think that this team needs to get rid of those players or that this team will not compete next year. No fire sales. We still have a solid core to build off of for next year. IMO, the offense will work itself out. Strengthen the pitching and we could be competitive next year. Bloom might trade some players, but he is looking for returns that will strengthen us "for 2021 and beyond". He is not punting next season.
