    It mens EVERYTHING if you’re giving Bloom kudos for picking him.
  2. Old Red
    Mayer fell into Bloom’s lap after 3 other teams passed on him.

    The narrative was out there all around MLB from MLB network, ESPN and others, so it was a lot more than the mean Boston media. Some of the candidates even admitted it themselves, so I don’t think Boston as Sam said is the place that everyone would want to be at. DD got fired after 4 winning seasons, and a WS title and I don’t think working for JH is all that enticing. I have no doubt the 10+ number was correct IMO.
  4. Old Red
    The Red Sox were the laughing stock of baseball on MLB network, and many other venues when 10+ candidates wouldn’t even interview for the HOBO job of the Boston Red Sox especially after Sam said Boston would be the place where everyone would want to be. Yes if the Red Sox finish last again this year I’ll be all over Brez as will many, many other fans, and will be deserving so as it will be with Cora.

    Not true, but I’m glad it appears that way. I’m wasn’t against Brez signing even though he was the 12th pick in the 2024 HOBO draft. I’m not against the Crochet deal even though as one astute talk show host said yesterday it was to soon, to much for so little experience. Most of all right now I don’t think the sky is falling , and concerned at all about Raffy, and the state of the offense. I get all the concerns, and worries, but ONLY after 5 games I think the panic is not warranted, and things will work out for the most part, and Raffy is just messed up, and not ready for any IL, and the rest of the lineup will straighten out too. 5 games is not the season, and nor is 20 AB .

    I was against the Bloom hiring the second I heard about it, and said it more than once on here. To me it was that looking for that third option in that fork in the road at trade deadline, and the losing last place in the division finishes he’ll be remembered for. He did do some good things, but picking up trash in the stands between games of a DH didn’t help the team in the standings. One poster on here once said we’ve got Bloom, and we’ve got Cora like that was going to give the Red Sox a competitive advantage. It Didn’t.

    If he ops out after 2030 that would be a total of 6 yrs under control, so you were right on.
  8. Old Red
    Record setting of futility at that.
  9. Old Red
    Starting out 1-4 is not good, but the Red Sox started out 7-3 last year, and that didn’t lead to anything good. The team isn’t hitting, but I can’t see it staying that way, nor do I see any changes being made to the lineup, or personnel in general after only 5 games. It could be worse. The Braves are 0-5.
  10. Old Red
    If things work out it will be a least 6 yrs of control.
  11. Old Red
    4-17. BA with RISP? How many RBI, and how many LOB?
  12. Old Red
    I would not put to much into the Fact that Ref Man is in the lineup today, and get his 1st AB of the season. Most likely he’ll play more than not against LHP, but that doesn’t mean Abreu won’t see some AB against LHP either.
  13. Old Red
    The Red Sox should be able to hit this LHP today. He’s far from a Dave McNally, or what they faced in Texas.
  14. Old Red
    The sample size isn’t really the issue here it’s the results, or lack of results. I fully understand the concern that Raffy is still suffering from shoulder issues that have carried over from last year. Raffy just set ML League record of futile ineptness striking out 10 times in the first three games of the season, and has 12 K’s in his first 16 AB. He looks slow, lost, and whatever else you want to call it. It’s circumstances, and not the infamous sample size IMO.
  15. Old Red
    Like I said like only Max can
  16. Old Red
    Casas takes to many mental swings.
  17. Old Red
    Ref Man in the lineup today batting 4th.
  18. Old Red
    Well said Max like only Max can.👍
  19. Old Red
    Weight, mechanics, shoulders, being the DH?
  20. Old Red
    Yes the K’s, and lack of hitting with runners on base have carried over from last year.
  21. Old Red
    I’m not saying he’s not hurting, and I guess just hoping it’s his mechanics, and not his shoulder. I know athletes hide injuries, but until I hear that’s what it is I’m going with it’s not anything physical.
  22. Old Red
    If his mechanics are out of sync couldn’t that have something to do with bat speed also?
  23. Old Red
    I’ve said before that Story left his best bat back in Colorado, and most likely his D isn’t as good as it once was either, but as little as Story has played the past three years how don’t see how anyone can put any realistic expectations out there. As with Yoshida his contract complicates things.
  24. Old Red
    What quote do you want? Listen to the interview. To say no means you just don’t want the facts, and what was actually said, and how it was actually said. It’s ALL there.
  25. Old Red
    After only 4 games you’re calling for Story to be DFA if he doesn’t pick things up? Wow! Might as well DFA Casas, and Raffy too. It’s just inconceivable to you, and others that Raffy is just all out of sync at the plate, and it just has to be he’s hurt.🙈
