    The guy who did get extended for market rate bucks is an unlikely HoF'er. He's a player, but no evidence of an individual who could lead or carry this team.

    Based on the IL players returning, it seems to be a moving target that gets later and later. I agree the promise of adding a Sale, Story, Whitlock, Houck sounds highly encouraging, the clock and calendar are ticking away. I have come to think that a Yalie philosopher like Bloom and hedge fund billionaire like Henry actually have very few people skills. They can read spreadsheets , and do regression analysis but have no concept of a dynamic built around 26++ personalities in their clubhouse. The numbers say that that this and that proposition should pay off over big samples , but it says nothing about winning today. There could be no two more disimilar personalities on multple fronts than Chaim Bloom and Alex Cora. How those two could have anything in common is beyond me. When Cora or Bloom eventually go, the exit interview transcripts would be priceless.

    Much agreed. Pap was honest and forthright. Wake's favorite comment , "Yeah, he does" adds a lot to the commentary

    Subsequently read Cora's comments that Story is still in ST mode and team won't insist he returns until Trevor says he is ready. He knows how his body is reacting to playing. Basically Story is another prima donna who has been close to worthless for 2 years since signing .
  5. vegasbob
    Why is Story being held back at Worcester for the next series? Any info available ? I know one thing, he isn't there to get to be a better player in AAA. If he just needs reps , get them vs the Royals.
  6. vegasbob
    Should have brought in Jansen, but probably saving him for the Royals . Reyes's is the newest BP stud
  7. vegasbob
    Verdugo with 3 hits in a meaningless effort . DP'ed when he could have made a difference with the bases loaded early in the game.
  8. vegasbob
    Outscored 25 to 8 in a key series. Or is that outpitched by a team with an actual rotation ?
  9. vegasbob
    Robertson, like many of his peers, thinks there are only 2 outs to an inning. He got those on about 6 pitches, but then collapsed under the pressure of the third out needed.
  10. vegasbob
    Came from the Dodgers in the infamous ( No, not Mookie), trade for Kike. Another guy came over also, but he isn't quite ready yet
  11. vegasbob
    Did they battle or just find yet another way to lose at the end ? That was the total history from 1919 to 2004. Like the '78 game , it was both , but always ended the same. Like 2023 is heading, wait until next year.
  12. vegasbob
    Unanswerable question----why can't the Red Sox hitters fly the ball the extra 3-5 feet that would convert flyballs to wallballs or better ? So many warning track shots
  13. vegasbob
    Don't look now but Bleier has achieved 5 outs on 13 pitches. Now he is due to blow up
  14. vegasbob
    But first, they had to lose the play-in game in excruciating fashion to B.F. Dent with Yaz popping out to finish it off vs Gossage
  15. vegasbob
    He also has been available a couple of times but the Sox chose to go with a spent JBJr. No offense JBJ, but if you could hit you'd still be there
  16. vegasbob
    Very small point in a 11-1 beatdown but in 5 innings the Sox failed to score from leadoff doubles, 2 on, bases loaded . The bats are about to go 9 games scoring 3 runs or less, except for last night's meaningless 4 spot and a 6 run win.
  17. vegasbob
    Sox about to go to 9-11 in the last 20 while supposedly making a run for the 3rd WC slot. What is it about reality that eludes these FO types. It was a poor roster to start the year, amazing that the team got themselves above .500 but are once again reverting to the mean.
  18. vegasbob
    Down 10-1 in the 5th inning with more to come, we will get the thrill of seeing a Red Sox position player come in pitching . Who is the lucky sucker. I'd go with Wong, wearing his catching gear so he doesn't get hurt
  19. vegasbob
    In all honesty and serious intent, how do these Llovera types get paid over $700,000 a season for having literally no ability.
  20. vegasbob
    Cora looking at his roster sheet, turns to Bush and asks if Bloomie got us any help with pitching . Bush says, No, are you drinking ?"
  21. vegasbob
    LLovera on his way to a big inning. See if he can hold the lead for the Jays to 5 runs
  22. vegasbob
    Nice chase by Duran capping his f***ed up day
  23. vegasbob
    Watch out if some kid shows up under the name CBloom. He is a pinball wizard at The Show. Knows all the analytics but could never play the game for real
  24. vegasbob
    Murphy should not have been out there to give up another blast.
  25. vegasbob
    Especially with Bogaerts knowing that he was not resigning with the Sox. Too much easy money out there , but not in Boston.
