    Anyone else? Dalbec isn’t a good 1b. Why is he worth keeping around solely as a back up?
  2. notin
    No one wants Dalbec. Hes 28, can’t hit MLB pitching, struggles defensively, and requires a 40 man roster spot. His only redeeming baseball asset is he still should have one option remaining next year, so while he needs to be on the 40 man roster, he will not need to be on the 26. Until 2025. Dalbec is DFA material. His best chance for survival rests on the fact that there are a few others somehow even more deserving of a DFA…

    I didn’t see jad respond at all, and 5Gold just said he liked the 2019 team more than the 2022 and 2023 teams. But that doesn’t have to mean he enjoyed that team…

    They might not catch the Yankees, but the Bronx Bomb Targets are perfectly capable of coming back down to meet the Sox…

    The best thing they can do with Crawford at this point is build up some stamina.

    If there are legitimate concerts about defense, Teoscar Hernandez is not a good option. Especially given the size of the train trying to run the Sox best defensive outfielder (Verdugo) out of town. Signing Hernandez and moving Verdugo means right field at Fenway would need to be manned by Hernandez, Duran or Abreu. Abreu is the only passable option defensively… If we need a big right-handed bat in the outfield, just bring back Duvall…

    So can World Series, but in still want Boston to go…

    The two most exciting words in sports are “game seven”.
  9. notin
    I disagree. I think it is possible to do, but Bloom himself definitely didn’t do it.
  10. notin
    It was part of Bloom’s job to think that far ahead. Although i would have greatly preferred he bring back Betts. Bogaerts and Devers just are not on that level.

    1. Not sure what your point was beyond missing mine. Jad said all he cared about was following the star players. The gang was all there in 2019. Did that make it enjoyable? 2. Previous World Series followups are irrelevant. 3. And why just a casual mention of GAME SEVEN of the 2008 ALCS!? That was one of the most exciting LCS ever. Sox down 3 games to one and trailing 7-0 in the 7th inning of game 5 and NEARLY WON THE SERIES?!? That does fit your criteria for baseball excitement!?! What do you need? A fireworks display leading to a series of public executions where the axes all get swung by swimsuit models?

    And now tell me what those numbers are in 2032…

    Didn’t everyone remember how much fun 2019 was?

    I was actually hoping for a sac bunt, but I would have been shocked to see Turner actually try one…

    They sold out this game ago? After coming in last place last year? But all year long you’ve been telling us about the reduced attendance and how Henry doesn’t like our, use this last place Team was selling out September games 6 months in advance! With people showing up! I guess that

    Sale is a part time asset. I think it would be wise to offer Pivetta arbitration and let him start the 20-25 games Sale isn’t available for…

    I’d have preferred he go for it. I like having a strong farm but two straight fire sales when the team was 3 or less games out of the postseason, while better than what Bloom did, is still ridiculous…

    And why won’t Verdugo be back next season?

    Would “Ripple” be better?

    Also no shot in Hell the Sox are getting a comp pick when Turner leaves. They’re getting a buyout bill for $6.7mill and that’s it…
  21. notin
    Trading doctrine for another pitcher that would have kept us within two games of the wild card would have been even better. Like I said, Bloom neither bought nor sold. I would have been ok with either commitment. If you’re buying, keeping Turner makes sense. But to do nothing was just inexcusable, and for the second year in a row is a good reason to fire Bloom. Passing up on one questionable trade is really not…
  22. notin
    I’d have been more OK with not making it if Bloom committed more to buying than just getting an injured 2b facing a non-tender…
  23. notin
    That was also selling. I would have been happier with selling than what abloom would up doing. I’d have made that trade, but let’s not pretend Cabrera is anything more than one of thousands of “raw stuff” guys who shows flashes of potential but ultimately struggles to stay in MLB…

    The thing why I just sing is because it has more to do with the Yankees winning than the Sox losing. And that was how it differed from 2011…

    The Sox won last night. Why are you here?
