    Max, our culture is all about blame, and since the old adage is the buck stops at the top, many feel it has to be Bloom & Cora's fault. It's oversimplification and more of the blame everyone but the actual people responsible for losing- like the players. The GM chose the wrong players. The manager played the wrong players. The manager managed the players wrongly. Sure, they get pissed at players, here and there (see the game threads), but for the most part it's more Cora and Bloom's fault than the fact that Bogey and JD can't get key hits, that 80% of the rotation got hurt, often at the same time, the 800+ OPS 1bman was a fluke, one of the second half & playoff heroes (Kike) slumped, then got hurt, then when a bunch get healthy, Houck and others get hurt. That all has to be on Cora and Bloom. Someone has to be blamed. It can't just be poor or unfortunate circumstances. Someone has to pay for the frustration we all feel. You "can't fire the team," so...

    It's nice to play in meaningful bowl games, and advancing one round will be better than we've had in ages.
  4. moonslav59
    Cept the granny.
  5. moonslav59
    I was going to say the same. I thought PH'ing Arroyo was best, but Cora made the right choice. Many probably felt brining in Kelly was a big mistake. Oh, wait...
  6. moonslav59
    He's made some mistakes, like every manager does, but he is so far from "horrible," it makes me laugh when someone says it.
  7. moonslav59
    Wrong! Exclamation point!
  8. moonslav59
    I am feelin g better and better about offering Wacha a QO.
  9. moonslav59
    Had he gone 7, the 8th and 9th innings guys might have done what they did.
  10. moonslav59
    He did have an RBI 2B, earlier, but that did seem like the defining moment of the loss. I hardly ever blame one guy for any loss, and blaming Story would not be one of those times, for me.
  11. moonslav59
    It doesn't matter who it is, we just can't get "the hit."
  12. moonslav59
    We just can't ever get the big hit, anymore.
  13. moonslav59
    Let's see if the BA leader can get a hit, now. GO BOGEY!!!!
  14. moonslav59
    Ok, Dugo, Bogey and hopefully Devers. Let's pull this game out of our asses!!!!
  15. moonslav59
    Is he hurt?
  16. moonslav59
    There is nothing to defend.
  17. moonslav59
    I'd have started Arroyo, too. Pham in LF. Maybe this was "Pham's rest day."
  18. moonslav59
    Here's how the game ends: Arroyo doubles as a PH'er for Plawecki. Pham grounds out to move Arroyo to 3B, and then Dugo doubles him in. Bogey gets his 3rd his and an actual RBI and we get a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth from Barnes. (Ooops, I must have dozed off...)
  19. moonslav59
    I think he's only on the roster to mentor Wong and McGuire, but it doesn't mean we have to play him.
  20. moonslav59
    Honestly, though, tell me how many times you've seen a manager remove a catcher because of his arm, and I'm talking about including the days SBs were actually a thing, too.
  21. moonslav59
    I meant, if the Yanks sign Bogey. I was responding to jacko's point about the Yanks signing Bogey.
  22. moonslav59
    Maybe the 4 HRs in his last 29 PAs and the near complete lack of power by the Sox was one reason. (I'm not defending Franchy or Cora, but that is one possible reason.)
  23. moonslav59
    You really believe that? I thought you were being sarcastic.
  24. moonslav59
    Lucky to be only 4-3. This game is not over.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes, managers often remove bad-armed catchers when men get on base. (LOL)
