    I don’t get into the War stuff except in old movies. I was all for trading Duran last offseason when his stock was highest, but many on here said no. Yes he plays hard, and shows up every game, but his offense can disappear, and he still looks like the butterfly man at times in the OF. I guess I’m just not all that impressed with his stretching singles into doubles, because he runs fast, and mad.

    The Romy, and Ref Mans Allstars against LHP didn’t show up that everyone on here raves about either
  3. Old Red
    I don’t put much stock in the teams W-L record with him, and without him. His BA was down, and his K’s were up, but his power numbers were still good. Could he have made a difference against the Yankees? We’ll never know.
  4. Old Red
    RAF Man takes a lot of flak on here, and while his stats aren’t great his glove is worth something, and he had a lot of big hits along the way. He’s not the problem.

    You’re welcome. The Yankees were a buzz saw?🙈 You had 2 Flawed teams playing against each other, and the Red Sox had more flaws than the Yankees in the 3 games.🤮

    If he stays fine, but i wouldn’t offer him anything more, or longer than what he’s getting now. If he opts out, and someone else offers him more, and for a longer time than say thanks for your help this year, and bye bye.

    Agree on the AL being so weak, and that made the AL so wide open to Anyone who got into the postseason. The Red Sox lost out on a golden opportunity.

    Like I asked last night how did the Red Sox miss out on that Bob Gibson impersonator who pitched in college just around the corner from Fenway?
  9. Old Red
    Agree. Crochet, and Bregman were good pickups even though Bregman was grossly overpaid. The Red Sox lucked out on Chapman having a career year for someone who wasn’t being counted on as the closer when signed.
  10. Old Red
    The trade deadline pickups just wasn’t quite good enough either.🙈
  11. Old Red
    I can understand not going all in at the deadline, but the Red Sox didn’t even go half way, and once again the AL was more wide open than I can remember.
  12. Old Red
    Every team was flawed, and the AL was wide open for the taking. The Red Sox lost out on a golden opportunity.
  13. Old Red
    Red Sox were not in check. Yankees Win! Yankees Win!
  14. Old Red
    How did the Red Sox let this Yankee pitcher get away when he pitched in college just around the corner from Fenway.
  15. Old Red
    Yes the 13th was still the regular season, but I think as the season wound down, and the innings piled up even though Bello pitched around the same amount last year he started to struggle more. I think plain, and simple Cora didn’t trust Bello last night, and thus the quick hook.
  16. Old Red
    This is postseason not regular season. This is October not June-July. Bello last pitched against the Yankees Sept 13, and gave up 4 runs in 5 innings. Last night as short as it was was No surprise at all, and more predictable than not. I said before the game that Bello would be on a short leash, but I didn’t believe that short.
  17. Old Red
    Why is anyone questioning Cora on the platoon strategy? It’s not really been a big staple of the Red Sox in the past.
  18. Old Red
    This pretty much sums things up, and Duran is getting closer to being one of those role players.
  19. Old Red
    Bello started wearing down in Sept.
  20. Old Red
    I’m not blaming Cora, but Whitlock did say he was getting tired near the end throwing those 47 pitches.
  21. Old Red
    Just like I don’t believe the Red Sox gave that contract to RAF Man to be a utility guy I don’t believe the Red Sox gave that contract to Campbell to be a bench guy.
  22. Old Red
    2-16 against Rodon, and 0-10 with 5 K’s against Fried is good enough for me concerning Duran.
  23. Old Red
    Splits only tell part of a story. What a batter does head to head with the pitcher is what’s Most important.
  24. Old Red
    The only button Cora pushes is the computer button to turn it on, and watch it spit out the RH lineup, and then when the LHP gets taken out it spits out his LHB to replace his RHB just like last night. It’s not all that complicated, and very predictable.
  25. Old Red
    2-16 against Rodon.
