First people want it to be 3D. Then the’ll want is shaped like a dinosaur. Then an animated dinosaur. Before you know it, that’s not enough and they’ll be using cloning technology to bring surviving DNA matter back to life to bring the dinosaurs back. And once those dinosaurs start reproducing, there’s no putting that toothpaste back in the tube. Which is fine with me.. You got greedy and demanded a Cretaceous Apocalypse, and then go mucking anout trying to clean up messy toothpaste spills in the most futile manner possible!! Some nerve!
Just stick with 2D and be glad you have it…
But the playoff format has expanded multiple times and very likely some of those 2-8 teams that missed under older formats might have qualified under newer ones…
Mayer to SS, Story to 2b. Stop worrying about platoons.
If Romero and/or Arias force a re-evaluation in the near future, tackle that issue when it happens. No reason to get ahead of potential depth issues…
It was one thing to watch Bradley throw a ball from 350 feet away that made it to the plate in the air, but sailed up the line 10 or do feet. But Anthony’s throw last night looked like a right-handed outfielder seeing what it was like to throw left-handed…
Cora might be more than “part of” the problem. He seems to be a big part of the organizational dysfunction. But if he both he and Breslow get canned, i won’t mind.
Just firing Breslow does nothing but add to the continuing parade of GM/CBO types that distract from the fact that Cora has missed the playoffs more often than not, and quite often does so to teams with lesser rosters…
I admit thr failure to add Alonso/Schwarber type didn’t bother me, although the addition of Durbin didn’t thrill me either.
But either way, the strength of this team was supposed to SP. And especially Bello and Suarez have failed to deliver, wuth the only bright spot bring it’s only been 2 starts for each. Also the neglected bullpen hasn’t done much either…
To be fair, he said “we are 3.5 games behind looking ok”. I took that to mean the Sox are 3.5 games behind mediocrity, and just a different way of expressing how bad the team is.
The only thing benefiting the Sox right now is the rest of the non-Yankee teams in the East are also all underperforming. The Jays just came off a 1-5 stretch against the Rockies and White Sox. Baltimore is 4-6 against another soft schedule. Tampa’s bullpen has given up more runs than ExLax. The only real bright spot for Boston is at least they’ve been playing badly against playoff teams from last year…
