    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?🤭🙈

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cole is one of Raffy’s favorite pitchers to hit, so maybe he gets going today.

    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.

    Barnum, and Bailey it is.

    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.

    Especially consistent at the end of the season.

    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.
  11. Old Red
    Oh no! Where’s Cindy Lauper?🤫

    What would be really interesting is if all these stats led to the team to be a winning team, and make it into the postseason. This is all very misleading.
  13. Old Red
    Toronto, and Tampa are weaker this year then they have been the last 2-3 years, and this isn’t one of the better Yankees team either especially outside of Soto, and Judge, and for the most part I think the whole league is weaker, so having the same record at this point in the season doesn’t mean the Red Sox are as good as the last two years, and maybe even worse.
  14. Old Red
    I think this sums it up pretty well. Like I said earlier the September Red Sox are a fantasy contender in fantasy contention.
  15. Old Red
    The Red Sox have scored 3, or fewer runs in 14 of their last 20 games, and have gone 7-13 in that time. These stats may look good on paper, but pretty meaningless in the success of the team. Must be a lot of stat padding in the good games.

    Yankee Stadium the House that Ruth built, and the house that Raffy loves.
  17. Old Red
    Jimmy? I threw in Dick Williams who was the manager of my favorite team the 67 Red Sox just to make it more interesting. Sorry for the confusion, and the add on, but that to me was the best job of managing of any Red Sox manager I’ve seen, and I couldn’t leave him out.

    Williams>Tito>?

    I like Cora, but I think he’s way overrated as a manager. Take out 2018, and this season isn’t over yet, but if the postseason isn’t made this will be three years in a row. Thrown in that the ball club has been bad fundamentally, and have a losing record at Fenway for the second year in a row too. I know most blame the ownership, and front office more than Cora, but Cora has plenty to be blamed for too like the things I mentioned. Cora has said we’ve got to do better 100’s of times, but that only goes so far without showing it.

    As one writer of the Globe said that the Red Sox are fantasy contenders in fantasy contention.
  21. Old Red
    After the fact, or not the point is that everything Brez did at the trade deadline, and after failed, and the Red Sox became worse then they were before.
  22. Old Red
    Yes. Yes Yes.
  23. Old Red
    Sell high for pitching.

    I guess Brez did pick a lane at the trade deadline, but unfortunately as I have said before it was the breakdown lane. He picked up Paxton, hitchhiking, and then, because there was room in the car he picked up Hill. His two BP pickups pitched worse after arriving in Boston, and now both of them are hurt. Jansen at C hasn’t added anything either. All in all Brez has made things worse, and not better. 0-5 is not good no matter how you slice, and dice it, and neither was Brez, but then again what would you expect from the 12th pick in the 2024 HOBO draft. Sale, Gio, and Grissom all turning out as bad as they did unfortunately were signs of bad things to come. You can chalk it up to bad luck, or as one poster on here said s*** happens, but right now there is a big Steaming pile right outside of Brez’s door. Maybe Mike Rowe should visit from Dirty Jobs.

    Could this be another loss this week for ND? At Purdue, which is an old rival would not be surprising to see them lose. The offense has to do better if ND is to do better.
