Bloom will get a free pass because ultimately the organization won a long time ago. He was brought in for business reasons, not for baseball. Give Dombrowski lot of credit in that he spent to win. And they did.
-
Panda Sandoval and Carl Crawford....BEFORE they signed with the Sox or even when I learned either were going to be Sox...the first thing I thought on both was bad fits, not going to like it in Boston, not going to like daily scrutiny and sure enough both were all-time busts. Sometimes, you got to know the landscape. Young kids who grow up in the system understand Boston and then learn to enjoy being a Sox...old veterans who have cushy situations in other lesser media cities, simply don't get it. Like I said, it doesn't matter, and who cares. Sox won 4 titles and that's all that matters now. Memories and Ortiz and Hall of Fame selections
-
Pham has a famous quote that Bloom probably respects. Upon signing with Reds, I believe his line was "all I care about are my numbers. I have to take care of me." good, perfect for the clubhouse.
-
If Bloom was in another city, he never would have acquired Hosmer and Pham and he would have been in sell, sell...JD gone too.
-
Who cares...
-
Lot of people keep defending Bloom, but the 2021 team had a lot of things go our way. 2022 isn't all Bloom, but he set the tone by not retaining Schwarber (but then throwing big money to Story) and trading a very high return Renfroe.
-
His deadline is an F...because he didn't know what he was trying to accomplish. Dumping a .282 hitting catcher who is a big part of the clubhouse leadership was fine, as long as they were really in sell mode. But to get Tommy HitMa(m) Pham and an over-the-hill Hosmer is right up there with just whatever. That's Bloom Doom...whatever...B-? Jesus, it was a car-wreck.
-
In his prime, best defensive CF in Sox history. Lynn right up there, but JBJR covered incredible ground. It was sad to see him turn into a slower version who often had to play RF.
-
We had Betts, Beni, Vasquez, then Refroe, Schwarber....and we turned it into average joe Verdugo (playoff Kiki 21, MIA 22), Cordero (one of the worst trades ever), gave away Vasquez hitting .282, get a DFA for Renfroe, and refuse to sign Schwarber, but go ga-ga over Story (injured goods) and then add over-the-hill Hosmer (Bloom's love interest) and platoon Pham. The pitching staff needs work and now we can prepare for Xander and Devers to be gone by 2023. Bloom's job is complete...turn the Sox into a bad version of a fake low budget team.
-
Bloom Doom.
-
The JBJR DFA while Hunter Renfroe 19 HR, 46 RBI, .806 OPS just more daggar in Bloom's plight as GM. One bad move after another.
-
You sell, you sell, you don't dump an important cog, then add and buy......unbelievable approach. Asinine.
-
Bloom-ing Idiot. Trade the heart and soul of the clubhouse, a team void of catcher other than Vazquez, who actually wants to be a Sox, then acquire has-beens and relics and cost cutters. That's why the Sox suck. They are a shittier team than last year by leaps and bounds. Story gets the money, Xander/Devers will get the shaft when the time comes. Wouldn't bring back Renfroe, wouldn't even attempt to sign Schwarber, gave away Beni, got ultimately an average outfielder for MVP Betts. But hey let's get back aging JBJR, and have Hosmer at first and Pham platoon in the outfield and let's rely on Plawecki to be the full-time catcher. This team flat out is terrible and will get worse rest of season. Starting pitching fell apart and too many minor leaguers occupying MLB positions.
-
I'm all for execution...at dawn for BLOOM
-
Sox went from worst staff to best staff almost overnight...Bloom GM of the Year, JD Comeback Player of the Year, Houck is a sensation, Renfroe, Kike, Arroyo turned into viable starters, Barnes/Eavoldi All-Stars, and can't say enough about the tag team of Devers-Bogie.
-
Dalbec has to pick it up, but in his defense team is doing well, he is a pretty good defensive 1b, and you can develop him in the process...downside he becomes the Sox new JBJR
-
no grade on Moreland, but even 4 days a week he's better than what Dalbec offered this season.
-
I respect your views, but he is indeed a GG candidate every year.
-
I haven't been on here much..but I think Xander is AL MVP...his defense is flat out Gold Glove and his hitting is All-Star and he hits to all fields, and he hits for power, and he is a game-changer...Xander is just fantastic. JD has returned to become a monster hitter (got the video back). Vasquez is just a terrific hitter to all fields again and Verdugo is another guy who simply comes out every game with fire in his eyes and tries to win. This is a winning bunch. Pitchers have been mostly great. Richards has turned his season around and Barnes has been sick great in pen. Love the makeup of team and Cora back as well. Go Sox!
-
Go Sox!!! Woo-hoo 6-game win streak...the fun is back, Cora is back..JD is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack, baby
-
If you're going to blow it up, blow it up....get rid of Boegarts, Devers, sell Sale, trade EROD. Hey, do it right.
-
Best Red Sox 2nd baseman offensively and defensively in their history (Doerr included). He could have had 3 WS titles if anyone else would have stepped up in the 2008 ALCS. Homers off Garza for a 1-0 lead in game 7. Loved the bravado with humor and his ability to make web gems in his sleep. He made so many dazzling stops and saved Sox pitchers countless times to end innings on a diving play. Forever loved the Colorado game, 5-for-5, 3 HR, 15 total bases and he hits the GW HR in a 13-11 win. Laser Show has gone dark. Sad.
-
I would agree. There seemed to more outrage over DC because of New York's considerable success with Sparky in the pen (then Gossage supplanted him in the main role)...
-
It was tough, but Lyle became a beast with Yanks and they already were upset about Ruth.
-
Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?
dannycater replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Bradley will be back in CF....Okay, that's what I want but likely not to happen.
