I'm not sure I'm buying the excuse. It's like Manny's grandmother dying before spring training 5 times in his career.
-
Are you talking about now or 2020? I thought this was about no massive cuts from 2019 to 2020.
-
I doubt many teams are asking about Story, but GMs don't make decisions based on small sample sizes, especially from players who were playing injured or returning from long times off due to an injury. Many GMs would like Story on their team- just not the contract.
-
Is Bloom part of his "family?"
-
That just arose?
-
You are being too kind with the sandbag part. Insert "rocks."
-
LOL. It is getting absurd, right?
-
Bloom may be the one laughing at Cora! "Good luck, skipper!" "Have fun, right hand man!" "Enjoy the dysfunction, man with Henry's ear!"
-
I thought you were saying the whole ship is still dysfunctional. Plus, you never wanted Cora back, anyway. Now, he seems to be your hero.
-
That was the real mistake made.
-
I do think the "mandate" was to cut significantly below the tax line in 2020. Despite the sunken cost of Sale, Pedey and half-Price in 2021, we still stayed under by about $4-5M. That was an increase from 2020, but still not really near 2018 or 2019 levels. It wasn't until the Story signing we got back near the 2018 level, and by then several teams had passed us and stayed ahead.
-
You still don't even grasp nobody wanted Bloom kept around.
-
I'm fine with your opinion and the facts. It's just a never ending stream of vitriol. How is this for something to chew on... Bloom stabbed Cora in the back for years by giving him crappy players, including no SS for '23. Cora got him back. Bloom got off the dysfunctional ship, while Cora is going down with the ship. (Not my opinion, but as valid as yours.)
-
That's not an answer, and they did make some deadline deals in 2020: all selling.
-
Give up this tired metaphor. Please!
-
That's the difference. One admits- one denies and deflects.
-
Was the 2020 mandate to just "get under?" Was Bloom just showing off by going way under?
-
Pretty small list, isn't it?
-
It was a time-delayed detonation.
-
Every posts he makes includes a tired and repeated jab at Bloom, we've heard hundreds of times. Over his head... Gloom Bloom... Cora the right hand man who has JH's ear... Like I said before...
-
(Note: there was never a Bloom Brigade, unless you count one guy, Max, as a brigade.
-
It's never the players: blame the manager and GM!!!!
-
I always do. It was worth every penny and sacrifice.
-
Maybe, mostly, but if we praise DD for the results, he deserves to be discussed on the aftermath.
-
2019 to 202 was not "massive?" No Betts, half Price, Porcello and others. Then, the trickle of funds slowly increased.
