Two words: Larry Lucchino No one could overcome the Bobby Valentine fiasco.
-
Come on Rick, get this last out!
-
Aarrrgghh
-
As I just posted, we'll have to wait to see what happens. I will be glad to give Dombrowski my sincerest apologies if our team remains a contender beyond the 3-4 year window.
-
A lot can and probably will happen over the next 3 years. We will have to wait to see what happens. I can just say that as of now, I am not pleased with the long term outlook of the team. Dombrowski is a smart baseball man. He has time to right the long term ship.
-
I think that the understanding between them was better for a while, but that it gradually worsened again. I have no proof of this, but I strongly believe it.
-
I was just reading that it's the 10 year anniversary of the pizza throwing incident. That was hilarious. Reminds me of how much I miss Orsillo
-
Just speculation and interpreting what I'm reading between the lines. I think he 'forced' a lot on both Theo and Ben that they were not in agreement with. Moves like Pablo just don't fit the MO of guys like Theo and Ben. IMO, Larry did a great job from the business aspect of things. He should have stayed out of baseball ops.
-
I am surprised by your opinion on the topic of clutch.
-
Yes, more or less.
-
That was not the first time that I've complimented Dombrowski. I give credit where credit is due. FTR, I liked both the Smith and the Thornburg trades.
-
I have basically stated and agree with everything that was in that person's article. In other words, your opinion of him translates onto me.
-
Two words: Larry Lucchino But regardless, those were not all in moves. They were flashy, yes, but not all in. I think Ben might be behind the Hanley signing, but I think CC and Pablo were all on Larry.
-
That's a very valid possibility.
-
Even if he's not going to be our 3B or the remainder of the year, he needs to be given a fair chance to build up some trade value. I don't expect him to be an all star, but 2 weeks into the season is far too early to give up on him one way or the other.
-
He does appreciate it. I'm positive that Dombrowski reads my criticism of him and takes it to heart.
-
The long term philosophy is to have young replacements ready to take over by the time these guys hit free agency, in order to control costs.
-
Thank you for this post.
-
You have to start somewhere. I think the Sox were legitimately trying to head in that direction. Regardless, the farm was strong and the team had/has several homegrown players on it. You can't trade away all of your prospects.
-
Only by me.
-
2012 does not count. He finished last 2 out of 3 years, with a World Series thrown in there just for kicks.
-
I don't hate the Rays as much as I used to when they were managed by Maddon. That said, the Rays just rolled over for the Yankees, which I don't appreciate. We should take at least 3 of 4 in this series. WIN! WIN! WIN!
-
Both. I agree that mental factors play a large part in the game. I agree that players are not going to be in the same state of mind with every at bat. I don't agree that a player or team can 'will' themselves to win a game or get a hit with increased focus.
-
Umm no. The 'Focus effect' is hardly fact. And don't assume to know what I have or have not done competitively.
-
Even with the two last place finishes, Ben should have been allowed to keep his job for one more year.
