    So the main purpose of putting a bad, bad fielding Raffy back into the field was to get Anthony in the lineup, and moving a bad, bad fielder to 1B has pretty much been the only option of many on here, and the media. The Red Sox are solid at 1B without Raffy there.

    I should have added batting 2nd.

    He is playing where he was told to play, which is DH, which getting hm off the field makes the Red Sox a better team IMO, and I think Cora’s as well. There is a very bad misconception out there that Cora has told Raffy to go to 1B, which he hasn’t, which is driving the media, and many on here to come up with a negative, and false narrative.

    I would say this sums things up pretty well.

    Not just a bad fielder, but a real bad fielder, and I have never gotten the philosophy of moving him to another position. He is fine right where he is DH, and calling him all the bad names in the world isn’t going to make it happen. Some poster called him insubordinate, because he hasn’t gone to 1B, but his manager has never told him to go to 1B, so I don’t know how that is insubordinate.

    Why don’t you go do a Wildcard Standings update? Maybe you’ll feel better. By the way you are the one who said the gut punch losses were killing you.😉👋

    That’s what I said last offseason.

    Not quite visions of the Butterfly Man, but I agree.

    If all 36 losses were by 1 run it would still be 36 losses, and most likely most would be from bad fundamental baseball. They are what they are a bad fundamental baseball team.

    And I don’t think they have anymore of a plan now when Abreu comes back then before ST.
  11. Old Red
    Raffy is doing what’s best for the team in being the DH.
  12. Old Red
    The Red Sox don’t have a plan outside of shuffling the deck chairs around on any given day. Anthony in RF is no different than Mayer at 3B. They just fill in where there is an available slot.

    You also have what happens when Bregman comes back. More roster decisions.

    Gut punch losses? Talk about being over dramatic.🤭 The Red Sox are a 36 loss team that are more losses than every team in the league except for three. It was no surprise to me that the Red Sox took 2 of three from the Yankees, but it’s also NO surprise to me that the Red Sox looked like a Little League team losing last night, so the Red Sox losing again certainly isn’t a life, and death situation.
  15. Old Red
    As Lee Corso would say. Not so fast.
  16. Old Red
    I said before the Yankees series started it wouldn’t surprise me if the Red Sox took 2-3, so no surprise they did. Story Land had a good weekend for the team, and for us few supporters he has. Great to see KC hit too. The new Johnny Bench continues to impress, and like Cora has said 1B looks solid. Toro, Toro, Toro. Good weekend overall.

    MSNS.👋

    That’s true, but it’s also true Priester has pitched more innings than anyone else on the Red Sox outside of Cro Man. I know the BP needs work, but not the amount they are getting. By your analogy the Red Sox are under 500 with Cro Man, so why bother?
  19. Old Red
    When you say several of US are not for anybody being fired you are not even talking about a blimp on the radar screen of RSN. Out on many other different venues I visit Cora is getting blamed a lot more than Brez, and the call is getting more frequent, and louder for Cora to go.

    Gio offered hope? He had become a HR Derby pitcher.🤭🙈
  21. Old Red
    At least they got A Rod off of there.
  22. Old Red
    Not just disdain, but intense disdain. Wow! I was just a Bloom Basher.🤓

    The same one who said that Sale would stay healthy, and have a good year for the Braves? Yes paying all of Sale’s salary last year, and then watching him win a CY was ingenious. Thanks for reminding me.🤮
  24. Old Red
    Right again Max!👍👍👍
  25. Old Red
    He also signed Gio, and traded away Sale last year like the Red Sox had all kinds of pitching depth, which is the main point here. Priester wouldn’t have been a team savior, but someone who can actually pitch five innings would be like gold around here these days.
