    Where did I say I expected it? You frequently confuse the conditional tense with absolute statements. I just said IF..... He went 31 GS and 164 IP, last year at 4.34. Had he given us that, yes, not a big enough difference to help the overall grade for the staff.
  2. moonslav59
    I never said we would go 6-0 vs TEX and TOR. Nothing indicated we would do that, but the point was valid. We had a chance IF we went 6-0 and well in the other games, too.
  3. moonslav59
    Yes, in the long term, but I meant in this year's spending choices and level of players. I should have qualified my statement.
  4. moonslav59
    If he gave us 30 GS and 190 IP, it would have taken a big strain off the pen, and kept 1-3 pitchers from ever starting a game. It's hard to know, for sure, but he'd have had to have had a 3.20 ERA for 200 IP to get us into the playoffs, and even that wouldn't have been a clear thing.

    If the plan was always to not go over, this year, going over last year made no difference.
  6. moonslav59
    This was posted before we were just swept.
  7. moonslav59
    Nobody can ever even name one poster. Nobody said our rotation was deep or loaded. I said we were deep with mediocre pitchers. That's about as close as I know anyone said.
  8. moonslav59
    It was clearly not attended to, but if the plan was for setting up the foundation, first, it's not "mind-boggling" to me that we waited one more year. If we don't go "all in" on the rotation, this year, I'll be extremely bummed.
  9. moonslav59
    Maybe 21-30.
  10. moonslav59
    If he gets fired, it might be because it was a 4 year plan, and he took 5+.
  11. moonslav59
    The weird thing is, he did best with his 2022 SP'er additions than 2021 or 2023, and that team had a worse record.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm not. I've said, a few times, I'm not going to expect "this will be the winter we spend."
  13. moonslav59
    He would not be the guy I mention when naming our best 5-6 prospects, of even our best 15 or maybe 20.
  14. moonslav59
    This must make you so happy.
  15. moonslav59
    Just could never put it all together for long enough stretches. One leg always seemed to be broken, but not the same one.
  16. moonslav59
    Everybody agrees. I doubt it would have mattered, unless you go total hindsight.
  17. moonslav59
    Makes no sense, again.
  18. moonslav59
    The Weissification of the Yanks.
  19. moonslav59
    I was actually thinking of suggesting Story try bunting for a hit. Better chance for a hit. Lesser chance for a K.
  20. moonslav59
    You think this team was a .550 team? It never sounds like it.
  21. moonslav59
    That's the $50M question. If JH truly wants to stick to a plan for more than 4 years, instead of swinging wildly from one extreme to another, maybe he sticks with Bloom a bit longer, but if he does can him, I doubt he brings in a wild spender with bent on trading a bunch prospects. I think he will seek a balanced GM, with a history of doing well with big signings and building up the full system, not just the 26.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes. Every year a team loses, you can look back and choose the bums, add up the money, then choose a guy we shoulda- coulda signed and blah, blah, blah. The fact is, Bloom signed a bunch of guys who worked out well, this year and last, but he swung and missed at the most important signing: SP. He coulda-shoulda spent more on the rotation. For whatever reason, he did not. The tax line is just a partial excuse. He had enough funds to get a real pitcher and chose not to.
  23. moonslav59
    No. The game threads all prove Cora has lost every single game and tried to lose some of our wins.
  24. moonslav59
    It seems like more and more, each season. I'm thinking we are due for going over the tax line, and JH must be feeling the anger and angst, if that matters to him, at all. I think we go over $48M (which I figure gets us to the tax line.) He may spend right up to the second line, which might be $67-68M.
  25. moonslav59
    Cora is to blame for every single Sox loss. - brown hats.
