Duquette was also a f***ing genius...he got Pedro, he tied up Manny, which in itself caused future "headaches" or so the next GMs thought...instead, what it did was force the Sox to keep him and let him produce. He signed Damon and he made the Varitek-Lowe trade...f***ing genius!
-
Bloom is into the "exotics." This is Yoshida, this is putting together a catching combo that is cheap...that and it seems he is completely in love with the Dodgers...here, go work for them, then you can have all the Dodgers you want.
-
Dombrowski was a f***ing genius...so was Theo...why? They went after important things needed to win a WS title...Theo went hard for Schilling, plugged the defensive hole at SS with the Nomar trade...Dombro brought in key components while the farm was producing the likes of Betts, Beni, Devers, Bogie...if indeed Bloom was told here is your budget, then the Story signing is a laughing stock to blowing that budget badly.

Kike Hernandez?

Bloom can do no wrong. It's all good, finish 10 games under .500, all good. Keep him forever. I don't care anymore...He helped put a product out there that I don't care about the players. It's sad, but all good.
-
It's time...Bloom fired and start anew with a different philosophy. This one is a .500 or lower nightmare
-
Bloom has 100 dollars to spend at the supermarket. Bloom spends 50 of it on junk food that won't last, then overpays 25 for a giant rib roast, and the other 25 he spends on cheap canned goods.
-
FROM GLOBE: Twenty of the 26 players in uniform Sunday were acquired by Bloom, as are 11 of the 13 players on the injured list. This is his team, something made clear by watching Andrew Benintendi go 7 for 12 with three doubles over the weekend for the White Sox.
-
This is it entirely, Bellhorn. *bigger expectations* and a feeling that the Sox should be up there with the big boys battling for a playoff spot. Not just a cheapie 1-game wild card.
-
Themes, bad defense, errors in situations that kill the Sox...pitchers who are throwing great--then felled by injuries...Inconsistent hitters....not sustaining winning...You can't follow 6-game win streaks with disturbing 2-game losing streaks v. bad teams. This is the .500 Sox of 2023
-
Lot of DH types are on the Red Sox...bad fielders galore
-
Extended bereavement leave for Verdugo on a grandparent. It's a terrible loss, but the timing was terrible for Alex and Sox.

6/20 @ Land of 10,000 Mistakes

Duran has been outstanding, Yoshida clearly a great signing--there I said something nice about Bloom. -

Very happy to see Sox on a roll. This will save a lot of jobs, including the Bloomster. -

I have to say the Kluber save is one of the most horrific statistics that shouldn't be recorded (automatic rule on last 3 innings) in the history of MLB. You should not get rewarded for getting bombed. -
Cora is only as good as what he has to work with and the team is turning it around, so maybe his approach isn't so bad. Not necessarily agree with benching Verdugo for his running gaffe (he already pulled him during that game), but Verdugo took it well and has been hitting tear ever since. Good managing? Maybe so.

Love how 4th in the MLB Slugging is somehow not good enough. Nice.
-
JD 2021 total season.. .286, 28 HR, 99 RBI, led MLB with 42 doubles...but hey, let's use the pandemic shortened season of 2020...good work....JD in 21 playoffs--you know when it counts--3 HR, 10 RBI, .344, .447 obp...he faded so badly.
-
Love the fiction that goes on in here. Moon at least backs up his posts when he argues. He is a loyal Sox fan (once a Pilots fan).
-
.303 .391 obp .596 .987 ops That's NOTORIOUSLY SLOW FINISHER IN POSTSEASON....
-
JD is not paid to reach base, he is paid to hit extrabase hits (34), and drive in RBI (48)...if you want to include OBP, there is a long list of MLB players who suck at it. Different league, different times...
-
JD Martinez 4th in Slugging in MLB, 15th OPS, 14th in RBI, 13th in HR. Justin Turner starting to heat up, that's great...but I don't want to hear anymore JD bashing when he has put up outstanding numbers for MLB.
-
What does any of this have to do with Firing Bloom? He should still be fired for putting out a .500 product that only recently in the last few days showed some life.
-
First doubleheader win at Fenway v. Yankees since 1976....wow...anyway, good for the Sox, good for the pitching, and good for some joy for the Sox fans for a brief weekend.
-
Terms that I'm sick of--"sustainability"...Waiting for Guffman-Sale-Story-Duvall (back but the effects of the hitting tear he had is not or should be expected)...Holding on to Kluber...Announcing signings of journeymen utility guys...Sick of losing attitude--Fire Bloom, Fire Cora, Fire half the roster. It's the most unlikeable team I think in terms of how it is run. The players, I don't hold anything against them. They are just collectively a .500 team at best. That's on the Director of Baseball Opps.
