When the Sox become what we term "unwatchable." That's a feat on itself. I loved this franchise, the teams for years and years even when it was Jimy World and back in the Brunansky homer-less Sox...this team is just not very good and not fun to watch.
-
Rusney Castillo....never materialized...not comparing Rusney to Yoshida, who was a far better bet to perform well at MLB level...What do they have in common? Having to make the adjustment to MLB, not just the hitting side...you have to be able to field in MLB and run the bases...well, Yoshida not very good at both.
-
It's why JD Martinez's of the world are a premium. All-Star this year. Devers RBI machine...power....can never have enough.
-
Runs don't get driven in much anymore in a league where contact is tough and runners on 2nd and 3rd and less than 2 outs is not any automatic to score even one run.
-
They wanted singles, doubles hitters in a HR all or nothing league.
-
The power-hitting Yoshida....he will not hold up over time.
-
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.

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).
