It took him a long time to get Bailey as the pitching coach.
-
If the SP is that bad that the BP long relievers have to come in, and go 4+ innings very often it’s not going to matter that much anyway.
-
Seems like the only thing Bloom was bold on was Yoshida.
-
I figured it out with Whit in 2021, but I guess Cora doesn’t agree.
-
He’ll have quite an act if he can pull this one off.
-
As I’ve summarized the last two years is that Houck, and Whit keeps getting tryouts in the starting rotation is, because they are cheap options, and not, because they are really that good. It’s easier, and cheaper to get BP arms.
-
Agree 100%.👍
-
Pivetta’s stuff played up better in the pen too after he got taken out of the rotation, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like any more pitchers aren’t coming from FA, and no trades are going to be made, so the rotation has to be filled out from somewhere just like they have tried with Houck, and Whit the last two years.
-
I agree, and especially Whit who I’ve been saying for two years that he should stay in the pen when others on here disagreed.
-
Who said I think Wink has a better track record at starting. I’m just repeating what Bres said that Gio, Bello, Pivetta, and Kut Man would be the starters, and the other spot would come from the 3 I mentioned. I repeat this was from Bres, and not me, so feel free to go after Bres. I’ve been saying this since the report came out a week, or two ago, but you were probably to engrossed in Bauer or trying to count how many declined to interview for Bres job. Try to keep up a little.
-
Nobody has even said Houck is even going to be in the rotation yet.Houk, Whit, and Wink will vie for the 5th starter.
-
Maybe it’s looking for that 3rd option in the fork in the road that seems to be the organizations identity now.
-
I guess I was just waiting for Tom to start The Let’s Go Red Sox chant.
-
To me outside of SP the outfield is still a big unknown to me. Duran, Raf Man, and Abreu. Nobody at this point knows what you got there.
-
What part of the lever pulling didn’t you understand?
-
I agree, but I’m not starting with a 78 win baseline. It’s a whole different season. If the Red Sox could go back, and replay last season all over again that 78 may be better, and it also may have been worse.
-
Here’s the thing. If somehow the Red Sox have a winning season, and somehow get into the postseason it will be full throttle again next year, because pulling all those levers worked.
-
Nothing wrong with thinking, but your predictions are always wrong.
-
Casa may produce all year, Story may actually stay healthy, and resemble something like he was in Colorado, Yoshida may produce all year, and yes even Raffy may have a better year. That’s a start, and yes even the D may even be better this year.
-
Wasn’t yesterday’s discourse round 2 from a previous brew ha ha?
-
I said that before the offseason even started that the only way to make the team better was to trade, because even with a new HOBO, and full throttle i didn’t see any big dollar FA signing. Now it looks like no big trades are going to be made either, so you have to go with what you got. It’s not like there is no talent at all on the team. Just like I thought the 2021 team would be better after the 2020 debacle, because there was still plenty of talent on the team that 2024 even as is may turn out better than most think.
-
I didn’t know the game was played on paper, but I guess the 2024 season that hasn’t even started yet actually does.
-
FSU was not left out of the college playoffs because of their easier schedule, but because Alabama, and Saban was a more attractive pick. FSU finished ahead in the AP, and the coaches poll. I don’t really care if the Red Sox are a better team than a team in a weaker Div with the same or similar record. It doesn’t get you anywhere. Like I keep saying I would rather play in the TOUGHEST Div in baseball than play in the weakest Div, and let the chips fall, which ever way.
-
Not when it’s been about the 2024 season. I’ve been one of the more positive ones, and have repeatedly said let’s see what things look like on March 28.
-
That’s always your standard response on topics. Talk about discrediting. You told me I couldn’t say that I think Sale is going to stay healthy this year, and have a good year for the Braves. Why was your reasoning? Because I called him Frail Sale when he was in Boston as did many other Red Sox fans.
