    Huh? The Red Sox offered Alonso a contract first, and when he turned them down traded for Contreras a couple weeks after that, so you got it all wrong, and ass backwards. Come on man I thought you were better than that.🤔🤭🙈
  2. Old Red
    The Red Sox biggest problem when they were 14 under wasn’t getting runners on base, but driving them in. Hitting more homers changed that, and Rowdy Yates showed up.
  3. Old Red
    I agree, but that wasn’t bresLOW’s plan.
  4. Old Red
    More productive then if they were a RHB pull hitter?
  5. Old Red
    Who cares as long as they’re productive.🙈
  6. Old Red
    But he got infrequent bats to start the season trying to get everyone in the lineup.

    The first plan was resigning Bregman, and adding Alonso whom they made an offer to first. That didn’t work out, so they went with the Con Man. When Bregman went to the Cubs the Red Sox pivoted to Ranger, and then went cheap with DUBin. None of this was the plan at all. Getting another productive bat doesn’t change the performances you mentioned, but it would of helped offset it, and maybe the Red Sox wouldn’t have gotten to a low point of 14 under.

    I don’t think they kept Duran as a insurance policy, but more likely Bres was asking to much in return, and couldn’t deal him IMO.
  9. Old Red
    I agree, and IMO both Masa, and Duran got off to bad starts being in, and out of the lineup. At the very least it didn’t help.
  10. Old Red
    Yes from Roman Empire to little Anthony. I agree.
  11. Old Red
    What was the fault of #12 bresLOW was that another productive bat was needed from game 1 of the season, and they might not of dug themselves such a hole of 14 games under 500 to begin with. What bresLOW did outside of that was better than good.
  12. Old Red
    Well said. All the Red Sox needed was a little extra boost on offense.
  13. Old Red
    When the HR ticked up the runs ticked up, and the wins shot up.

    Silliness to you most likely isn’t silliness to a lot of other fans. Have you ever listened to the many athletes who have said what it’s like being in the spotlight of playing in Boston? It wasn’t so called silliness to them.
  15. Old Red
    You’re jumping into a conversation that started last November, and you’re asking what someone was implying?🙈👋
  16. Old Red
    Yes I remember that he struggled some, and didn’t like it playing in NY for the Yankees. He’s a lot older, and wiser now, so your point isn’t what you thought it is.🤔
  17. Old Red
    The Red Sox couldn’t get The Jump last night.🤫

    Ah The Man Behind The Curtain still talking about his companion again the strawman . Yes No doubt there was hype, and No doubt there was expectations, and I would say at the very least most were expecting little a to pick up where he left off last year, and after playing in the WBC even expected more. Hell even I expected that. If it bothers you saying everyone did then so be it. Like when you keep saying you’re not defending someone, which you do often even when you are. Now that is a good example of absurdity, and hogwash. If little a had picked up where he left off from last year, and lived up to his hype, and expectations you most likely would say I knew it all along, but you’re stuck, because he didn’t. As always pay no attention to The Man Behind The Curtain.

    Bunting would certainly help Duran get on base more.
  20. Old Red
    Drag bunt, or push bunt?
  21. Old Red
    I agree. I think baseball is a better game when there are bunting, hit, and run, and stealing bases in it compared to just station to station. Tracy is more that way than Cora.
  22. Old Red
    My venues that I listen to, and watch are all local from Maine to Boston. I know some on here think they are taboo, but as I see it TS is just in another form with people scattered all over the country. I don’t think you can get the same feel, or pulse as I like to say living in Fla, or Texas as being more local not just to Boston, but Woo, and Portland as well. I hear a weekly interview with the Sea Dogs manager, and have for years. Many of the Boston writers, and even TC get interviewed frequently on the Portland station, and one of your favorites Dan Shaugnessy gets interviewed twice a week, and has for years.

    As with you most often being on the wrong side of Memphis, and being in the minority being something matters to being right, or not. It’s a curse, and not a gift. I’ve never said my connections on the heartbeat of RSN make me superior that’s your analysis. hanging out on TS, where I learned most of the time it’s not the overwhelming opinion. Of course some are happy just being isolated to a small group.
  24. Old Red
    You would like to think that, but like I said the other day I heard on three different venues people calling little a a flop. As I’ve also said living far away from Boston kind of keeps you isolated from what’s being said out there, and thought in the vast reaches of RSN.
  25. Old Red
    Ah The Man Behind The Curtain bringing out his old friend the Strawman. Your Hogwash is just dried up, and your analysis of why Duran wasn’t traded is NO evidence at all, and Nothing, but pure speculation on one of your wild theories, and there is definitely NO proof to prove otherwise. In other words pay NO attention to the Man Behind The Curtain.🤮
