No one touches the Auerbach/Russell Era...not even close.

That's the rub. He can't/won't just become a coach...he craves the control, obsessed with that control, and to his credit, he sure did a lot with that control. It's just the game has passed him by--as far as evaluation of talent. He is a good in-game coach, maybe too conservative at times, but with a lack of talent you get what you get. It's on him. He has to go. I salute The Hoodie for all his accomplishments. Time for a new vision, new set of eyes as GM and coach.

Hope you are well Moon...you are the most loyal Sox fan I know...I just lost my enthusiasm for the team and the management has sucked my fandom right out of me.

Dough Boy...I don't miss Newton as a QB, but I loved his nicknames that he gave certain players. JuJu Shuster over Meyers...Jakobi put up 150 catches for 1,650 yards in 2 seasons, and was Jones most reliable receiver...nope, let's go with Schuster, or Agholer, or that TE who did nothing....BB clearly a crappy GM on offense, has been for way too long. No priority in offense. Let's get Elliott because need to establish that running game with Stevenson...but the league's best are passing teams. You better have a QB, you better have WRs who are going to move chains...Pats don't have either of those options.

I was a pre-Brady Pats fan...Loved the Bledsoe years and the 70s teams as a kid. They didn't have to mail it in though. BB and his decision making last few years and his draft picks have been let's face it...terrible. He drafts a kicker when he had a reliable kicker. He has gone the Shula route and Shula's last few NFL years were signs of his demise too. Pats could have been competitive with some idea about the importance of the QB, importance of possession reliable WRs, and an understanding about speed. So while it's great to say "hey we had our run" and we did, but no excuses. Sox same thing. Can't just keep saying hey we won in 04, 07, 13, 18....we good, no more need to go for success....great then f*** it.

Sox, Patriots are no longer hungry franchises, living off the fat of the land and the laurels of winning so many championships. Price of success? Yankees? Hungry, haven't won in a while. The Sox and Pats have virtually become unwatchable even from a TV point of view. I couldn't wait to see the Sox at game on the Left Coast--but for the first time ever in my life I didn't see them v. Halos in 2023. Pats I just can't watch them anymore...you start to lose interest in teams that lose interest in the fans wants and lose interest in making the team the best it can be. The excuses for both franchises are just that...excuses.

Yup
-
Sox don't want guys like Wacha or Eavoldi, don't want pitchers like that.
-
At least the Sox have the kids...until they get good, then trade them so they don't have to pay them because the organization has become a low-budget operation.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
dannycater replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Breslow has started his Sox exec career with a splash....not -
Can't wait for the Sox to make that big splash signing *Story*
-
What did I miss? Did the Sox win the AL East?
-
Done, thank christ
-
Story was a disastrous signing, far worse than Sale. Waiting for him to show up, waiting for him to get over injuries...waiting for him to hit for power, to do anything. Waste of money...money that could have been and should have been used toward Betts
-
Every time I compliment Bloom, the Sox immediately turn to s***...so with that said, Fire Bloom!
-
So far it's all working pretty good of late for Chaim, Reyes, Urias, Turner, Wong have all been contributing. The staff is coming through for them too.
-
Turner has been as advertised. He has done well, hit in the clutch, and is having a good season, worth the signing.
-
I hate posting here...why? Apologists board for Chaim by too many posters who basically are accepting of the Sox way of doing things.
-
Yes, but it's okay to play a .145 hitter dropped to minors immediately, or throw a s***** Llorens just because he was "acquired"...but hey let's have Story who may have actually helped in this series--a short fence, a fly ball hitter to left....yes, let's get him 100 percent....you know after the Sox are about to be eliminated from WC competition. Good job.
-
Story felt it was necessary for him to finish his minor league assignment...pussy. Absolute waste of money.
-
Completely agree with a catcher's influence on how well certain pitchers peform. The better the pitch caller, the better the defender, the better the arm to cut down any basestealers...all come into play. Some of the Sox secondary catchers over the years paired with some of our better pitchers. Just worked out. Always believe moon's theory is correct. It used to be you would see how some great Sps wanted and got the catcher they preferred. It's important to pitcher's psyche too, comfortability.
-
Good old Daniel Nava...reminds me of the days when Brian Daubach was the team's most consistent power hitter.
-
Yoshida has made Bloom into a genius. So has the team sticking with Casas over Dalbec. Pivetta been pitching lights out of late. Sox are no slouches and smart to unload Kike--although his monster series in playoffs a few years ago remains memorable.
-
Gotta give the Sox/Cora/Bloom credit and the team is finding a winning attitude of late...wrong division for Sox, but obviously the entire East just happens to be very good this year.
-
In Bloom's defense, the Yoshida signing now seems like a great move...Gotta say I'm surprised Yoshida has kept up his high average, I originally thought MLB pitching would fool him...it has not. Paxton has been great, Verdugo and Turner have been really good, Cora/Bloom stuck with Casas instead of going to Dalbec...gotta give the GM credit where credit is due. I'm not obtuse in seeing the team play well and knowing Bloom has made some interesting moves that may have helped the team going into the next few years.
