It’s always good to watch a good CF track down fly balls in the OF, and someone who can pick ‘em at SS. Also agree on Casas. The starting pitching is another matter, and re-runs of the same show as last year. I’m not in the camp that Brez, and Bailey are going to make these guys better, so we’ll have to wait, and see on that one. I’ve said for the last two years that Houck, and Whit should stay in the pen, but being cheap options for the rotation is where they’ll be again.
-
As I heard another fan say that they can handle being a losing last place team, but they can’t handle not trying to get better.
-
Maybe, but as I’ve said for two years now, both Whit, and Houck should be in the pen, and would be if not for being cheap options for the rotation.
-
We’ve already seen the Houck, and Whitlock show, and we’ve also seen the re-runs. Not that good a show to be brought back for a third year, but at least they’re a cheap production.
-
If the Yankees offer to Snell 5 yrs/$150M was real, and turned down that’s all on BorASS.
-
Like the team who signed Gio.
-
As I call them OB, and the Yuckers. Definitely not a first rate crew. OB was tolerable when REM Dawg, and Eck were around, but now the broadcast team, is kind of like the team they are broadcasting, which is not very good.🙈🤭
-
Just like when you said ERod was in a insane asylum.🙈🤭🤮
-
JH seems to have turned into an WWE character. Gone from hero to a villain, and appears to like playing his newer role.
-
20 days, and counting to do so.
-
And especially, which looks like now for $38.5M.
-
True blue, and now neither Snell, or Monty will be ready to start the season now that this has been dragged on so long.
-
I agree, and I’ve been saying that for sometime now that you don’t have to wait until you really think that now is the time to go for it to improve the team.
-
I heard an interview with McAdams this morning, and he said his opinion was it was only a 10% chance of signing Monty before Gio was injured,and now he believes it’s gone down to 5%. He said Monty wasn’t good enough to take a 500, or below team, and make it a playoff contender, so he didn’t see JH giving the go ahead for Monty.
-
It could be a combination of all the things mentioned, but either way it doesn’t appear to have worked out. Like I said before that Gio wasn’t going to make, or break this season anyway for the Red Sox, and I don’t believe his injury is going to shake up JH to get on the phone with Brez all desperate, and ask what are we going to do now our season just went down the drain, and tell Brez to now go full throttle, and go out, and sign Monty, or Snell.
-
$18M was in a different dumpster than where Bloom went to find his goodies.
-
I don’t by your theory that the Red Sox signed Sale knowing he would be out 18 months with TJ, and hoped he would come back as good as ever, but signed him for 5 years anyway at any kind of going rate. I said it was a bad idea to resign Sale the day it happened, and it was.
-
The hold up with signing Monty, or Snell is obviously $$$. Gio being out for an extended period of time isn’t going to change that. Paying Gio $18 not to pitch for them isn’t going to change the aspect at all, and if anything it makes it worse not to mention the Red Sox are paying Sale $17M not to pitch for them also.
-
When Gio was signed he said he hadn’t drawn much interest from other clubs, so it sounds pretty much like the Red Sox were bidding against themselves.
-
UNDERdogs for sure.
-
Like I said earlier that Gio was never going to make, or break the Red Sox season in the first place.
-
Your phony optimism was hanging on Gio?
-
Sale was surgery waiting to happen when they resigned him, and Story was surgery waiting to happen before they signed him.
-
Another plan has come together. I said I was shocked when they signed Gio in the first place, because of the $18M even if he had an opt out, or not. Gio was not going to make, or break the season anyway, but now the Red Sox are paying Gio $18M possibly not to pitch, $17M to Sale to pitch for someone else, and had to pay JT some opt out money. I bet JH is not happy about that. Outside of adding another starter it looks like next man up, which will probably be Whit as I think the rotation had been set before ST started even though Cora had said only 4 spots had been set' but I think Houck was going to get that last spot.
-
He probably didn’t think so at the time, but JH did DD a favor by firing him.
