Bloom isn’t even on the Taxi Squad.
-
Agree with that, but what was spin, and what wasn’t. That’s pretty mild compared to what Tito got.
-
Outside of some old threads probably not.
-
Whenever ever he shows his face in public. Will he attend the winter meet, and greet this year?
-
What spin that Sam The Sham, and the FO has thrown out there is anyone buying. I don’t believe that anyone is smelling what the aRock is cookin.
-
Hard to say, but I bet DD wouldn’t be still looking for that third option in the fork in the road come trade deadline.
-
Yea, but JH is all alone now, and doesn’t have Bloom around to take some of the boos away from him.
-
Distant echos? I heard discussions before the 2022 season even started.
-
No, but a place where she may end up.
-
It couldn’t have been Bloom picking up trash again. Or could it?
-
And should be every time you take the field.
-
22 games over 500 in 2021, which was the outlier for Bloom makes the overall record better than things really were. It didn’t cover up the two losing last in the Div teams though.

Ask SD, or the Mets if winning doesn’t matter in the here, and now.The Mets blew it up in less than a year. Ask Texas how it is to be winning in the here, and now.

I’ve always been big on the farm. The 1967 team was mostly farm raised. The 1975 team was mostly farm raised as was the 1978, and 1986 team. Even the 2018 team had plenty of farm raised on it, so I do get it, but is this current crop going to be anything like these that I mentioned? Lots is riding by some on here on this current crop, and while the rankings are all over the place depending on who’s doing the rankings doesn’t guarantee success just, because they are ranked higher than other teams. You still have to out, and get from the outside too, but that’s not easy either as SD, and the Mets have found out. Texas didn’t do so good last year going out, and spending big, but it’s paying off this year especially with the pitching.
-
I guess it depends on what you view as progress. The youth movement is here, which is fine, but how good are they going to be, and how much success will they have. Is the current crop going to be better than Mookie, Bogey, or Raffy? A better farm ranking is great, but all that means is it is ranked higher than before when it wasn’t so great. Sales contract will be gone after this year, which will help going forward, but if Casas, Duran, Raf Man, Abreu, and Mayer don’t all turn out to be good, or at least most of them the Red Sox will be as good as some people think.
-
That was quite the debate to sell, or not to sell.
-
Things looked promising coming off 2021 into the 2022 season especially after adding Story, but things went south.
-
The Mets have a GM opening too, which may be an option too.
-
I think it’s the prevalent view all over MLB, and has been for a couple of years now. JH, and Bloom have done a number to the Red Sox, and it’s not a good number at that.
-
I believe you are 100% correct when you say that the view out there in MLB is wide spread that the Red Sox are in some sort of disarray. It’s not that hard to see unless you don’t want to see it, and it is a lot more than my narrative, and pretty blind to see, and think other wise.
-
Sorry, but you’ve also edged him on.
-
Or maybe there just wasn’t that many, and these are definitely different situations where the comings, and goings are more frequent, and the recent restructuring of the holdovers are not that appealing.
-
What’s your excuse for not seeing it?🤭Or the Kike resigning where you said more than once that the Red Sox couldn’t have found anyone better than Kike for $10M. What’s your excuse on that one?
-
Right. Read it yourself. I was the poster who jumped to a conclusion the day Bloom got hired, and I was right in my conclusion. What’s so hard about that? Over analyzing, and wrong again.
-
Either way it’s a bad look that so many potential applicants are declining interviews for the job for the Red Sox.
