6/19 @ Land of 10,000 Mistakes

I was half kidding bit factually where was I wrong? -
6/19 @ Land of 10,000 Mistakes

In defense of posters here. We recognized how bad Kluber was before Cora. Posters recognized Pivetta has been bad for over a year. Something Cora did not see. Finally Cora was forced to admit Kike was not a shortstop. I'd say that is three major f*** ups that destroyed early part of the season. Yes keep kissing his ass. -
It seems easier to fill position players on short term deals. Starting pitching should be developed with young arms
-
Maybe it's time to give up something of value for young team controlle d starting pitcher.
-
No just as an emergency. You are so gullible. He sucks as a starter. Period.
-
It's tough knowing Sox has $45M on IL and another $10M wasted on a starter. Sox would have been better off writing Kluber a $10M check and told him to stay home. That's how bad the signing was. That's how bad Bloom's decision was to sign Kluber.
-
Houck and Whitlock returning to the pen as many of you suggest ain't happening. Bloom and company are very pleased with their deveolment as starters. They will sell that to JH. Long waited internal development of starting pitching. We may have solved filling starters 2 3 and 4 spots. The team has no interest in reviving Pivetta's starting career.
-
Trading Kike and Turner would be salary dumps. Team then has money to improve in other areas. As you said Turner trade would open Yoshida's move to DH. Trading Verdugo would be Rays move. Getting in return a player with longer team control.
-
The guy thinks sitting Devers was mainly due to a left hander starting. Think about that statement. Overriding factor was scheduled day off. Your comment is dumb and stupid. Apparently he thinks Cora is now platooning Devers. And I hurt someone's feelings.
-
Stupid comments? Put me on ignore you motherf***er.
-
Only player I'd hate to trade would be Martin. He could close for us if Jansen is traded. I would think we"d get something in return for Paxton. He could be a valuable commodity for a contender, Texas?
-
Cora is drooling over pinch hitting possibilities in extra inning.
-
7th start for Whitlock, 3 good outings, 3 bad ones. He is 3-0, 18 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 3 BB, 15 K's, that probably works out to about 1.50 ERA or less in his 3 good outings. Keep in mind that both Bello and Whitlock have worked on slowing down the change up in order to get greater velocity separation from their fastballs. They've attributed THAT fact to the success versus the Yankees.
-
Must see TV tonight...Whitlock on the mound. Sure beats watching Kluber and Pivetta.
-
I get it that you have to perform where you play. But that based clearing double looked like a routine fly ball in any other park. Kutter was unlucky.
-
Paper said scheduled day off.....something Cora is famous for. He wanted right handed bats but Casas is in the lineup along with Verdugo.
-
Games Played so far. 65 Devers Age 26 65 Turner Age 38 Yeah, one's a DH and the other 3B. Why not DH Devers? Why do we baby these athletes? Is it so hard to swing a bat? What are your thoughts on this Mr. Robinson? Mr. Gehrig?
-
I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of people that can follow John Henry's instructions. Just for THAT, Bloom gets no credit from me. Hell, I can probably do it.
-
I don't quite understand the poster that said this guy was a racist........is there something out there that I'm not aware of?
-
Kike told Cora he loves playing shortstop. You've got to take care of your son. Have you ever watched a team coached by a player's dad?
-
You have to look HARD for good things. Such as our three youngsters doing what they did over the weekend versus the Yankees.
-
It's timely done as you know. Thursday is an off day, so he'll get much needed two days rest. I hate Cora sometimes.
-
He's a hotdog and I hate hotdogs.

The Red Sox starting rotation -- long term
Nick replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I hate to see what his athleticism looks like in couple of years. To me, it's an overpay for a designated hitter with no power. I'm very serious about this. As other positions fill up with better talent, I'm not opposed to eating some salary and dumping him. Not right now..... -
The Red Sox starting rotation -- long term
Nick replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Question is an ace to be with 10 year projection worth trading Mayer and other player pieces and giving out $30M long term contract when the team controlled years expire?
