    The homework includes facts you omit, like the fact that Berrios had 1.3 years of control and did not deliver on the expectations TOR and you had, at the time. 4.75 ERA w TOR 2021-2022 1.32 WHIP You really wish we made that deal? (Note: the signing of Berrios and his 2023 numbers are not part of the suggested trade.)

    Well, the expected rotation was supposed to be Sale, Paxton, Kluber, Pivetta and Whitlock, so technically this was the rotation depth: Houck Bello Crawford Winckowski Mata Walter Murphy If you want to argue Bello was always going to be given a rotation slot, then move Pivetta or Whitlock to rotation depth. The pen was not so deep with talent, but I think the hope was that we'd have more than 1 pitcher with 15+ GS'd, by now, and some could be used in the pen. The expected 8 in the pen might have been: Jansen Martin Schreiber Bello or Whitlock Houck Bleier Brasier Joely The depth: Crawford Winckowski Kelly & Ort Mata, Walter, Murphy I guess we should have planned for 99 injuries. (Not a sarcastic statement.) (Bernardino added after some DFA's)

    Who would?

    Exactly. They were also 7-0 v TOR, 4 days ago. This next 10 games may mark the start of a change- or not.

    I know you and others really want to blame Bloom for everything, but this one is obvious.
  6. moonslav59
    100% Agree, and it wasn't Bloom who decided.
  7. moonslav59
    Let's see after this 10 game "easier" stretch.

    All he needed was a manager who doesn't treat him like his son!
  9. moonslav59
    No. I was curious about the timeline. I wanted us to offer him the world to stay. I hated trading him. I think, once we decided to trade him, with one year left, then added half-Price to the demand, we did okay on the return. Istill wish we kept Betts.

    I can see a chance rafaela shocks us all and immediately hits MLB pitchers well. He's one of those guys that you throw away all the reports. Just my take.
  11. moonslav59
    The trade suggestion in question was made over a year ago.
  12. moonslav59
    In your mind, maybe.
  13. moonslav59
    How long was it from the time he refused the Sox maga offer and the trade?
  14. moonslav59
    Yup.
  15. moonslav59
    They want to think if they can snow the fans, they will keep buying tickets and NESN subscriptions. It's obvious why they lie. I'd be okay, if they just told the truth and went all in on a 5 year plan. Instead, they play it halfway and get nothing: now wins now, no fans support for the BS and an extended future that could have been much better.

    Huh? I've said 2023 should be his "make or break" or "legacy year". Later, I said I don't think JH shares that view. Please try to get my position right. I think he made some good deals under the circumstances handed to him. More bad than good. I think his number 1 priority is to build the farm, and it's impossible to grade him on that, this soon. I wanted us to trade prospects for 2 SP'er not One. Why would I be okay with today's performance?
  17. moonslav59
    Agreed.
  18. moonslav59
    What if those guys told him to trade Bello? LOL
  19. moonslav59
    That would also include: Duvall (after this year) After next year: Pivetta Urias
  20. moonslav59
    He did make a few comments that made it sound like he wanted help and that October should be the main priority. I don't think he meant October 2025.
  21. moonslav59
    It sure looks like they felt this way. They should have "sold," if they felt that way. This whole trying to con the fans thing never works and makes the longer term outlook worse than it could have been.
  22. moonslav59
    DD is untouchable. You should know that by now.
  23. moonslav59
    Yes, them all sucking has nothing to do with the losing. Can we stop coddling the players for not doing what many little leaguers know what to do? That being said, it should piss fans off that so little was done at the deadline. It's one thing to put the long term future of the team as the number one priority, but we could have gotten someone like Flaherty without giving up any very promising prospects. I'm a big fan of planning for long term success, but for 4 years (deadline 2019 to deadline 2023) the best prospect we parted with was Aldo Ramirez (for Schwarber.) That pretty much tells it all. Forget the lies Sox brass tells us, this was always a 5 year plan (or more.)

    While the big club cobbled together a pen game, today, Sale went 4.1 with Woo: 0 ER 3 H 0 BB 7 K While the big club was floundering at the plate vs TOR, Trevor Story, the guy Cora said would be called up v TOR, homered for Woo while going 2-3. He also doubled and walked twice. RHernandez homered, again (14th). His OPS is now up to .837. Dalbec hit his 27th (.996 OPS.) Rafaela 3-5 POR won 11-2 Coffey: 6IP, 4H, 2ER, 3BB, 7K Rosier is elbowing his way into the conversation (3-5 w HR) Hickey 2-3 w BB Jordan 2-5 w HR GRE is up 8-6 in the 8th by scoring 7 in the 7th. Paulino homered (2-4) SAL lost 8-5 Dean last two-thirds Jh Garcia 2-4 (the other J Garcia) w 2B Romero 1-5 w 2B Asigen 2-3 w BB & 2B

    Don't tell me what I feel. Both represented losing hope, to me. It's not a comp of the team talent levels. You and the majority of Sox Nation probably feel otherwise. Enjoy your gloating and celebration of losing.
