  1. Agreed. One bad game does not a season ruin…
  2. Nobody says that, but a lot of people say it gets said…
  3. My issue is Wong swinging at a 2-0 pitch from a guy whose thrown 10 balls in his last 11 pitches…
  4. Booser not fooling anyone today…
  5. I suspect - with no evidence whatsoever - that Mookie never really wanted to stay in Boston…
  6. His track record over the past few seasons shouldn’t be erased by a bad 9 start stretch…
  7. I’m new to this superstitious stuff. Should I announce or mark posts done purely for that reason?
  8. I added explanations while you were typing. See above…
  9. But that wouldn’t be helpful. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you give him another hobby to spend some of that $360mill contract on. I mean, it’s not like bowling is all that expensive. Mookie needs a bass boat…
  10. Apparently you missed yesterday’s game thread. I questioned his choice of Valdez and his sub.450 OPS at DH. Valdez hit 2 HRs and 10 TB. So now I will see if lightning strikes twice…
  11. Cooper at DH?!?! What’s Cora smoking?!?!
  12. Why is FSG - worth approximately $8billion - doing major budget cuts on the Red Sox, a team that earned them over half a billion in 2023 alone?
  13. I actually don’t find it all that plausible, since Henry must have been somewhat aware of DDs management style from their time together in Miami…
  14. What makes you think 72 wins changes anything? The Sox won 71 games in 2014 and nothing changed…
  15. Romy Gonzalez. Not sure why he was avoided…
  16. It’s not about what DD was allowed to do then. It’s about what he’d be allowed to do now. Henry went with Bloom because he wanted to stop the heavy spending and build from within. DD does actually have a part where he did things like that, and for Henry, no less. So if Henry did keep DD on board, he’d have to operate within the same budget Bloom did, and not the one he has in Philly…
  17. 3 for 3 with 2HRs, 3 RBI and 10 total bases. I think I need to pick on Cora’s choice of DH more often…
  18. I bet Grissom, like most players, would rather start on a bad team than sit on the bench or be buried in the minors for a good one…
  19. For a closer, control & command >>> velocity…
  20. Hendriks actually doesn’t have much experience as a closer. 114 of his 116 saves came in one 4 year stretch of his 13 year career…
  21. Does this all start in 2018? I’d have never approved the Price contract in the first place. Also, don’t forget once DD realized he could never get Mookie to sign for what he was allowed to spend, he pivoted to securing Bogaerts and Sale for roughly 75% of what Mookie signed for. So Mookie wasn’t that much further out of reach…
  22. Oh I agree he did allow DD to. But that was then. The whole reason they switched to Bloom was to start their new path of not spending (while saying they were)…
