No, that showed I was 100% right, and it was an easy call to make.
-
And this is from the guy who asked last year if the Red Sox signed JT for the bench.
-
All you guys were all pondering last offseason after Bogey signed with SD, and before Story got hurt on who the Red Sox were going to get to play SS, because you thought Story should stay at 2B, and I kept saying all along that Story was going to be the SS, which he would have if he hadn’t gotten hurt. I was right then, and I believe I’m right now that barring injury Story will be the opening SS of day 1 in 2024. Is that a 100% certainly? If you want to say no fine.
-
You mean like I was joking when I said Bloom was a bad hire for the Red Sox the second I heard about it?
-
Daydreaming all you want if it makes you feel better.
-
Yes it sounds like the Red Sox will continue with your obvious mistakes of Raffy at 3B, Story at SS, and Casas at 1B. That’s the cards they have dealt themselves, and the way that Cora is most likely to go. Story was going to be the opening day SS last year, before he got hurt, and that is where he wants to play. If you wish you can think he’ll be moved to 2B, but most likely a wish that won’t be granted. He’s a excellent SS, and all the current problems the Red Sox have I don’t think moving Story off SS is on the list if aBloom is still there, or they hire Joe s*** The Rag Man.
-
Being in the hot seat not so much either.
-
I don’t think Bloom being gone has one tinkers dam to do with if Story plays SS, or not. Cora makes that decision just like he said Raffy will be the 3B next year, and I don’t see Cora taking Story off SS. You have more of a chance of your wish to have Chapman playing 3B for the Sox next year, which is next to nothing too.
-
It used to be, but I’m not so sure that it’s not even close. People watched DD get fired after 4 winning seasons, and one year removed from a WS title, so job security, or lack of it I don’t believe is that attractive if for nothing else.
-
So now the Marlins have two job openings too. For potential candidates for a HOBO is it more attractive to work for the Marlins, or to work for JH? A few years back it would be an easy answer, but I’m not so sure now.
-
Outside of Eddie? I don’t believe so.
-
No, it doesn’t matter, but just to hear him spin, and grin on how the Red Sox are turning candidates away, because there are so many.
-
I don’t believe Story is going anywhere, but SS anytime soon.
-
You think Sam The Sham could give an update on how the extensive search is going?
-
Was there an Exec VP of baseball ops before, or did they just create that for BOH?
-
I said that, because that is my opinion. You share the opposite opinion. The only way to know for sure is to take a poll of players who have played for both the Red Sox, and the Dodgers. Outside of that I don’t see either of our opinions changing, and that’s fine too.
-
I don’t think most fans myself included need the media to tell them what’s going on. Most fans know the most important WL record, and the Red Sox place in the standings. Especially when that place is last place.
-
I read a good comment from a fan today who said the Red Sox went down hill in this latest chapter when JH fired DD, and hired the Prince Of Malfeasance. Unfortunately the Prince wasn’t just a bad nightmare. It really happened.
-
More fans like me? Wow! I would say it’s the media that has a lot more to do with it than the fans when it comes to the players unlike Bloom who was a lightning Rod for fans, and media alike.
-
Do you really think there wouldn’t be a long list? I like Freeman, but I just think there were many out there in football land, who would have been more qualified, and especially more experienced if the brain trust actually did some searching, and didn’t do a quick knee jerk hire when they were blindsided by Kelly. It’s not like ND hasn’t made some bad hires before. Faust, and Weis come to mind.
-
Disagree that the atmosphere is a lot different from LA to Boston, and that more players who have played both players would say LA was more laid back. Of course it depends on who you are, and how well you play. What would Mookie say? What would Price say? If you do well Boston is a great place to play. I think JT enjoyed it in Boston this year, and he had a good year, but a good example is Kike, who went from folk hero one year to a punching bag this year. What have you done for me lately, and how you do means everything.
-
No pressure out in laid back LA. Quite the different story in Boston.
-
But what if the team gets better in 2026?🤭
-
Air Force is flying high. Undefeated at 6-0, and in the top 25 at 22.
-
I do too.
