    He stayed healthy this year for once. Let’s see if he can do it again.

    Everything will be spelled out for everyone next week at the year end press conference when Sam will do his spin, and grin' and Cora will say his usual we’ve got to do better, and give his plan on how to make the D better. Brez The Prez just coming down from his fabulous work at the trade deadline will say he’s still evaluating. Maybe even Tom will say a few words.

    I don’t think JH would get rid of his trusted HOBO after just one year no matter how much he sucked. Bad decisions, bad luck, or just s*** happening withstanding.
  4. Old Red
    I sure Sam has his end of season presser speech all written out, and ready to go. It most likely won’t sound much different from the last two years.
  5. Old Red
    That sounds about right.

    The funny part is that so many on here bought into full throttle last year, and then cried sham, sham, sham when it didn’t happen. Some on here were even excited when the Red Sox met with the Yam Man like they were going to outbid all the big spenders. Wonder what they will buy into this year?

    Anything less than playing in the postseason for the third year in a row is a total unacceptable FAILURE, and nothing nice about it IMO. You’re still sitting home with the White Sox. JH failed. Brez Failed. Cora failed, and the players failed. Total Failure by Baseball Ops from top to bottom.

    The Red Sox bats came alive yesterday in a Meaningless game for them paddling their overall stats to make them look better than they really have been especially when they have pretty much quit in Sept. way to go Casas. Ya Hoo!🙈🤭

    I’m not impressed with ND at all, and especially their passing game. That game yesterday was sloppy, and a lot closer than the final score. ND is no top 15 team IMO.
  10. Old Red
    Thank God the Red Sox extended Alex Cora the most overrated manager in Red Sox history IMO. Under his leadership the Red Sox have now gone 3 years in a row without making the postseason, and now Cora has a chance to make it 6 years in a row.🤭🙈

    If Sam stays on his same message at the end of the season he will repeat that Baseball Ops failed. That’s one thing he’s been right about the last 3 years. Cora is part of that failure, and once again this has been a Bad fundamental team, and that can’t be all blamed on JH, and not on Cora, but some will do it anyway. This team can win a WS with Cora, and this team can lose with Cora, and not even make the postseason 3 years in a row.

    I know at times this team at least on paper looked to have a better shot at making the postseason this year, but I’ll go back once again to what I heard back in May that the Red Sox are fantasy contenders in fantasy contention. It was true then, and it’s true now. They had their chance, but now Detroit, and Seattle has passed them, and they would have to climb over them first to get to a Minnesota. September will come to an end, and for the third year in a row Baseball Ops from top to bottom will have failed once again.

    Brez for executive of the year. Not for the Red Sox, but for the Atlanta Braves.🤫
  14. Old Red
    3.5 games behind May sound better, but it’s 4 games back in the L column.
  15. Old Red
    I don’t think signing Story was any effort to improve the D, but just a CHEAPER option than resigning Bogey. You’ve said more than once, and I agreed with you that Signing Story was just to appease the fans, because they were getting restless with so little activity was being done to improve the team. Was signing Yoshida an effort to improve the D?

    Another Sale Day last night as Chris CY YOUNG Sale gave up 1 run over 6IP while giving up 5 hits, and striking out 6 against the Dodgers. Sale picked up his MLB leading 17th win to make it 17-3, and lowered his MLB leading ERA to 2.35, and also notched his 219th K, which also leads MLB. Bought, paid for, and gift wrapped by Brez, and JH to the Atlanta Braves. Can you believe it?🤭🙈
  17. Old Red
    Not much of a game today, and ND made it look as easy as it can get. That’s the good part. The bad part is that ND lost 2 starting OL where they were inexperienced, and thin at to begin with. Also the Starting QB for ND hasn’t thrown an TD yet 3 games into the season. He can run, but ND will need more than that against the better teams. I saw some comments today calling for Angeli.
  18. Old Red
    There was plenty of payroll being paid out this year that was for players on other teams, or on the injured list that Max has pointed out many times on here this year. I keep telling posters on here that JH is not the same guy as he was when he bought the team, or even 10 years ago. On here it’s just expected that JH should pay up to the CBT line, and that’s just not going to happen, and all the complaining on here is not going to change that. To many bad decisions, or bad luck, or s*** happening by the HOBO has been a big problem in itself.
  19. Old Red
    I don’t feel sorry for Brez at all. Did he contemplate why 10+ candidates for the job he took wouldn’t even interview for the job? If he did it should have told him something, and if he didn’t then shame on him.
  20. Old Red
    Cole is one of Raffy’s favorite pitchers to hit, so maybe he gets going today.
  21. Old Red
    Being 3rd in the AL in runs scored is a very misleading stat just as all the high OPS that the Red Sox batters have that Moon keeps touting. No doubt the BP has sucked, but despite all the high numbers from the offense for the season the batters share plenty of blame too for the 500 record.
  22. Old Red
    Barnum, and Bailey it is.
  23. Old Red
    Brez won’t win any executive of the year award this year. Most of what he did just did not work out, but it made the team worse. Trading Sale, and his 5 pickups at, or near the trade deadline was all on Brez, and not JH. Adding a OF who has hit 30 HR was no big deal. Even Bloom did that. Brez should get plenty of blame for the failure of this years team. As Sam said two years ago Baseball Ops failed, and failed again they did. ALL of them.
  24. Old Red
    Especially consistent at the end of the season.
  25. Old Red
    The Div is weaker, and the league is weaker, and the Red Sox record is around the same, so I don’t see any optimism in thinking the Red Sox are better now.
