  1. Like I’ve been saying right along you don’t have to wait until the Red Sox are so called ready to go all in to get some better starting pitching. I’m not talking about 1 year bargain basement purchases. The longer you wait for SP the more the cost goes up. Gray at 34 is now getting paid $25M when he never made more than $10M before. I’m sure Monty could have been signed a lot cheaper even a year ago than what he will end up with now.
  2. Exactly. Moon keeps saying careful what you wish for when someone brings up JH selling the team. I think at this point most fans would take that chance this second. I don’t think someone would pay as much as it would take to buy the Red Sox, and then don’t put money back into the team.
  3. I wonder how ticket sales are going so far?
  4. San Fran has offered tons of money the last two years, but keep coming up empty.
  5. Thought was the key word, and that thought is getting less, and less every day.
  6. Yes Lester, Mookie, Bogey, and now. Not a good look at all. All the blame goes to the top. Even Shaughnessy just said he sees Bloom in a different light now.
  7. I think once again the Red Sox badly misread the room on how much money it would take to sign some of these guys, so when Breslow said he didn’t see financial resources as being a limiting factor he didn’t expect prices to go up like they did for the Yam Man, which went up $100M from estimates before FA started.
  8. #1 it’s still not March 28th #2 I think the Red Sox think they can actually be competitive, or at least in their definition of competitive.
  9. Deceived, or mislead was the result from Tom saying full throttle, and what the fans believed that to have meant. It never meant to me that the Red Sox were going to sign any high priced FA in the first place.
  10. At least JH isn’t playing any favorites.
  11. That has already been answered many times over. The Red Sox already have a 3B that they paid $300M plus for. For good, or worse.
  12. They’ve really been pushing the advertising up here for the big shindig with promos many times daily.
  13. So the hotdog vendor must have told the Sea Dogs manager.
  14. You definitely won’t get any nominations for comeback. Hibernation was your best move.🤮
  15. Fans in the stands? It was first mentioned by the Sea Dogs manager on his weekly interview on the local radio sports talk show the Big Jab, and yes it was talked about at the Ballpark by the fans.
  16. What you say doesn’t change the word that was going around Portland at the time, and since you wasn’t there you don’t know if I’m a liar, or not, which I would have no reason to do so.
  17. Someone is always coming off unhinged, or making mountains out of molehills. I was told the other day after Sale got traded that I couldn’t say I think Sale stays healthy this coming year, and has a good season, because I didn’t say that when Sale was in Boston, and called him Frail Sale, which many others did too on here, and other venues.
  18. I was at the ballpark in Portland when Mookie was first moved to the OF, and that was the story going around the BP at that time. Call me a liar all you want. Either way it’s not life, and death like you are making out to be, which happens so often on here.
  19. You were done before, and went into hibernation, which is where you did your best work.
  20. But at the time Swihart played LF, and Holt was in RF they had run out of options.
  21. Was you around Portland at the time Mookie got moved to the OF?
  22. Like I said earlier you made more sense when you were in hibernation.
  23. Why was Swihart, and Brock Holt tried in the OF?
  24. No doubt that starting pitchers meant more back in the day. Starting pitchers used to be as big of a name as the sluggers, and didn’t need nearly as much help as they need today from the BP.
  25. All kinds of pitching stats can be skewed for a number of reasons. BP, and closers too.
