    But the World Series ended five days before Halloween that year.

    A lot of us remember Kim in the regular season, but forget these three in the postseason: Timlin 8 G, 0.00 Embree 8 G, 0.00 Williamson 8 G, 1.13... 8 IP, 1R, 3H, 3BB, 14K -- saved all three wins in the ALCS, finished and won two elimination games in the ALDS, zero blown saves. It was Williamson's only postseason. Twenty years later, and he might still have nights where he thinks of Game 7 and asks himself, Grady... WTF?
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    At least the Sox won a playoff game vs NY this century. Correa better leave his watch at home next October.
  4. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    '03 they were one manager away; '21 could've just been a first-half Barnes away...
  5. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Changing the narrative again. The whole debate was about losing young pitchers for nothing in the Rule V draft... while instead keeping older players with little promise (except that they promise to get to the game on time).
  6. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    They can't even come in last bad enough to get a higher pick?
  7. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    On the mound in Game 7s for the Red Sox, I'll take Lolich in '67, Fingers in '75 (in the 7th, 8th and 9th) and Mike Scott in '86...
  8. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I have been from the beginning. Losing any young pitchers of promise is inept for a last place team with last place pitching and a front office constantly telling its fans "Wait til next core..."
  9. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Don't assume -- it's almost guaranteed that it any of those had . one. more. top quality impact pitcher
  10. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    No, Bloom will actually make $50K if he takes him back. I'm not sure how much the Sox have sunk into the three young pitchers selected in the Rule V, but the guess is it would be worth it to them to only make an additional $150K on the trio and welcome them all back into the system.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Ok, but this narrative just shifted from a Luis Castillo type blockbuster -- which would include trading several top prospects -- which Bloom has never made in Boston.
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    A lot of tombstones of Sox fans from last century that never saw one championship...
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the drafting team has to pay the losers $100K, and then if they decide they don't want the guy, can offer him back to his original club for $50K? Peanuts to a guy like Dombro, but not to someone hired to pinch every penny...
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    This is entirely the point. All those advanced college degrees in that office, and nobody knew what apparently Dombrowski did? And my point has always been it's reasonable to question losing any young pitchers for this franchise and its constantly stated goal of looking ahead. I'm happy and surprised someone decided to sign Devers, and intrigued to see which of Ward, Song or Politi winds up back in Boston's system. But if Braiser and Ort become the Beastie Boys and close out the World Series, I'll start an Extend Bloom thread.
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Do you honestly think Bloom will still be around when the Sox are just one player from another title? Will even we be?
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Guess we have some unreasonable fans on the forum. The rest of Red Sox Nation must just care about protecting replacement players who won't even last the year on the back end of the 40.
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I'm not sure what top-of-the-rotation ace the Sox can land for bullpen pieces, Aldo Ramirez and past-their-prime vets on expiring one-year contracts.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    You either work for the front office and have inside insight or haven't been paying attention to Chaim Bloom in the Chaim Bloom Era.
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    As a fan of a last-place team with crappy pitching that espouses building for the future -- and then loses young pitching to other teams -- it's unreasonable to be concerned?
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    If you're in the box, it's batter up, no excuses. What's the first thing you learn when you bat? Watch the pitcher... No ump's going to save you from wearing one in the ear.
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Snap, crackle, pop... (those were not the sounds of pitches hitting catcher's mitts).
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    If that's true, the Sox would be acquiring foundational starting pitching this year. If not, the shades may be drawn, but no sash is raised.
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I'm ok with umps setting the example in ST, but disagree with automatic called strikes if a batter is in the box but not looking at the pitcher. That's the hitter's problem, ready or not -- if he's in the box, he's fair game for the pitcher to pitch to. Come on, young people's brains are just wired differently growing up scrolling devices every day. Any Little League coach knows we can't even get kids to look at us for more than two seconds in practice, when we're actually trying to give tips on how to improve...
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Soto would be great, but not the Red Sox without legitimate starting pitching the next two years. If I'm trading my top prospects, then I have to get top starters -- like Beckett for Hanley, or Sale for Moncada/Kopech. Then try to sign Soto when he's a free agent; you're going to have to, anyway, if you're willing to trade your future for him...
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Of today's four pitchers in the Sunday game -- Wink, Murphy, Mata, Walter -- the latter looked the most impossible to hit. Kind of a live, dangerous version of Sale, Walter has the delivery of a death-to-lefties reliever.
