Yep the reason the Red Sox had a losing season again was because they were unlucky with the new schedule.
-
Like I’ve repeatedly said the Red Sox have played in the same Div since Div came into baseball. This constant whining about having to play in the toughest Div is hilarious. If you want to root for a team in a weaker Div go root for K.C. They’ve spent some money this year, and said they’re going for the Div. Like I’ve repeatedly said too I’d rather play in the toughest Div than the weakest. It’s more exciting, and to see how good you really are. I don’t go for this woe is me toughest Div stuff.

The Bear Claw game said it all.
-
You preached about playing less Div games last year was supposedly was going to help the Red Sox have a better record last year, but as I pointed out at the time, because of the new schedule the Red Sox would also be playing more games against all the other tough teams, so it might not turn out as you think. As I keep pointing out also is that the Red Sox have played in the SAME division since divisions were brought in, and when they’ve been good enough they’ve won, and when they haven’t like the last two years they haven’t. I would rather play in the toughest Div than the weakest. Much more exciting to me.

There have been all kinds of rumors of lots of guys have been shopped around. Masa, Story, Jansen, Martin, and who knows who else.
-
I going for 84 wins this year, and they’ll be in it.
-
I don’t mind the Red Sox got what looks like a good young player for Sale either. I just always have trouble to pay someone to not play for them even if it’s through an optout.
-
Very simple. The Red Sox May have been waiting to get out from underneath Sales contract before they signed another SP to a big long term contract, so if they wasn’t still paying Sale $17M to pitch for the Braves they might have pounced on someone a year earlier. With what seems like the Red Sox are counting all their pennies, and cutting payroll it wound make more sense than not at least to most I have heard talk about it.
-
Exactly, and mostly on here you would think that the trade deadline has already come, and were already out of it before the season even starts.🙈
-
🙈🤭🤮!
-
Wow!
-
👍👍👍
-
The FO hasn’t sold anything to anyone, but 84 wins is better than 78 wins, and a trip to the postseason is better than not getting there at all.
-
I think at this point most Red Sox fans would take 84 wins, or even less if it meant getting into the postseason, and take their chances from there.
-
No I can’t list all the names outside of Hazen, and Fuld added to the list. All I know there was a running count at the time, and the last I knew it got above 10. Why question the count?
-
I don’t either, but it was a headline.
-
Sam said Boston would be the place where everyone would want to be. How accurate was that?
-
If he was following along he would have already known the names. There was a running count at the time. Like I’ve asked of all things why question this?
-
I’ve given articles, so why don’t you go read them like the Boston Herald on 10-20-2023?
-
A article in the Boston Herald 10-20-2023 that the number of candidates refusing an interview has now reached double digits. A can’t believe of all things this is being questioned? Wow! For what purpose?
-
Are you disputing the number 10? It was kept track of as it went along. Look at the reports. There are plenty of them out there.
-
List them? Really? Did you think this was made up. It was talked about all over the place at the time. It was talked about on MLB network, and it was talked about on ESPN just to name two of many places. The Red Sox were a laughing stock all throughout MLB. List them? Really?🙈🤭
-
You fool! You bought in last year with your 84 wins prediction, and you bought in this year with full throttle. You were all excited with the Red Sox meeting with the Yam Man like they had a snowballs chance in hell of landing him either paying the price, or outbidding the others.
-
Your thinking, and predictions has always been wrong, and I don’t see any reason for that to change now.
-
Nobody has a clue what any of the starting rotation are going to do this year based on last year, or the year before that, or the year before that. Let’s just see what happens.
