    Yup. It was a done deal way before the actual deal. Bloom got way too much blame, but such is the life of a GM.

    Suarez is 10th in fWAR, while Gray is 40th. I know W-L records matter to many, but Suarez has pitched better. 7th in FIP to 31st for Gray and 18th in xFIP (Gray 24th) Suarez is 26th in K%-BB% to Gray's 33rd. Gray has the better ERA, so that will get him in over Suarez, but it is just 2.69 to 2.94. (62 to 67 in ERA- for Gray.)

    Gotta like this win, but we need to put a stop to this "one step up and two steps back" pattern. Maybe it started last night. More likely not. 5.5 GB SEA (45-44) for the last playoff slot. (6.5 behind the CWS might be more reasonable, and TEX is just 6 games ahead of us, but 5 other teams are between us and that last slot.) We are... 1.5 GB BAL 2.0 GB ATH 2.5 GB MIN 3.0 GB HOU & TOR It might be nice to pass a couple teams by the ASB, but I'm not sure we can or if that would even matter.

    Why can't Brez ever get us any SP'er depth, instead of trading it all away?
  5. moonslav59
    Just don't call them "haters." LOL

    He thinks it matters if Brez & Co were right or wrong about wanting Devers at 1B and not DH. I mean it does, when judging Brez & Cothem, but not Devers. The fact is they wanted him to play 1B and he didn't. That's on Devers. They wanted him to play 1B at SF, too, and he did, but only after missing a workout session.

    I stand corrected.

    Don't you just love the long piss troughs?

    This site is going loony.

    The two situations are light years apart. What sticks out to me was how close DD got to trading Betts. That shows what the plan was long before DD left and Betts was actually traded.
  11. moonslav59
    I seriously doubt he doesn't want to be playing tonight, let alone 7 days off.
  12. moonslav59
    Ummm, Bregman offered to play 2B so the inferior defensive player could be babied and play 3B. Nobody asked or even hinted for him to play 1B. I'm fine with the dislike for Brez, but there is no need to suggest we make the team worse by playing people at the wrong positions just to make your point.

    To me, it's really more like this: Suarez, Durbin, Seagler & Monasterio vs Bregman, Harrison, Drohan and DHam.

    I will say that the toilets in Fenway are among the worst of the worst.
  17. moonslav59
    While I get on your case quite a few times, I hope you know a greatly appreciate most of your posts... even the ones that are wrong. (lol)
  18. moonslav59
    ...and who cares if "everyone" thinks he's selfish or not? We can't even all agree on what insubordination is.
  19. moonslav59
    The SFG GM, fans, teammates and manager experienced his insubordination. Moving the goalpost to wanting the GM gone over Devers does not change the facts about what Devers did. It is a worthwhile new discussion point. We just got a new principal at my school. The prior one told me he wanted me to switch to SpEd from ESL, as that department needs help. I did not want to move and let him know, but I accepted my new assignment. If the next principal tells me he wants be to teach ELA, guess what I'll do? If I refuse, I'd fully expect to be let go. That's what happens when employees are insubordinate, even with good reasons.
  20. moonslav59
    Who is overlooking 30 pops a year? Who is calling him a "demon?" He was insubordinate under two GMs and managers, within a year. BTW, Manny was dumped, too.
  21. moonslav59
    What's the chances the Sox can turn things around before the deadline? Here is the schedule: 3 @ LAA day off 3 @ CWS 3 @ NYM ASB (4 days off) 4 v TBR (in 3 days) 3 v BAL day off 3 v TOR 4 @ ATH 3 @LAD
  22. moonslav59
    There is a big difference from wanting to stay in the game and showing up your manager and the poor PR guy trying to do what he was told to do. Defending these actions and wanting this guy back is mind-boggling, to me. Blame Brez, Cora, JH & Co. all you want. They deserves a lot of blame, but the bottom line is insubordination, and condoning that is indefensible.
  23. moonslav59
    He painted himself into a bad light. he didn't need help, despite getting it. Refusing to come out for a PR'er confirms it was not only about Brez. It's about Devers and his fragile ego being more important than doing what's best for the team.
  24. moonslav59
    It's hard to know if only spreadsheets and models got Brez to make trades for Crochet, Contreras, Gray, Durbin, O'Neill and others that have done well, along with those that have not gone well or not so well, so far like Sale, Harrison and Priester, but I see a major improvement over the moves made after the Eovaldi trade in 2028 to the end of the Bloom era. This major step back in record, this year sucks and is the bottom line for many fans, but I think we are a better team now than when Brez took over the team. The farm is better. The young core is better. The 40 is better. The 26 is better. The record is NOT, for now.
  25. moonslav59
    One big plus from building up the farm is the opportunity it creates to trade for guys like Gray and Contreras. DD mastered that idea and maximized is by trading just about every over-rated prospects we had. (Somehow, lucky or not, he kept the ones that ended up doing well.) What would the future outlook of this team be without Tolle, Early, Rafaela and several other homegrown talent we decided to keep. Plus prospects and young players traded for like Abreu, Durbin and Bennett. I'm not sure we can trade away as many prospects and young players as we did last winter, and still maintain a young pipeline infusion for the next few years, but we may have to in order to put together a winning team in 2027. Hoping our young players grow and improve did not work in 2026. While some are upset we lost Harrison and Priester, where would we be without Gray, Contreras and others we traded for?
