    Was that this year? You also forgot one of your fan faves the Sea Man.

    To go into a game in the middle of a postseason race against one of the teams you are fighting against with Chris Frail on the mound who if you got lucky might give you five innings with 4 guys in the BP unavailable, and no LHP on top of that, and your first option in the 5th with a 1 run lead is the Claw Man. That is a minor league operation at best, and a bush league operation with the results. Not doing nothing at the trade deadline, or not doing anything weeks before when 3 starters were out, and openers, and BP games were used game after game was waving the white flag. The battle cry of we’ve got three reinforcements coming back, and we’ll be all set was more than blind hope. Sale, and Houck have been on pitch counts, and the BP has been worn out due to the overuses. Bush league operations at best.

    Only if Bloom was the HOBO on the receiving end of the trade.

    I had said right now it looked like either Yoshida, or Abreu was going to play, so the fact that Yoshida did not start Sat, or Sunday I would say that was in Cora’s world. Who said Yoshida didn’t have any value? I don’t think he would have as much as some would think, so he would have to be part of a trade to get some much needed starting pitching. If you want to go with all these young guns in the OF then Yoshida could be expendable. $100M for a DH would have to be for a Ortiz type, and certainly not a Yoshida to me.

    Yes it was only 1 game, but every game counts, and the season is getting shorter. The thing is, which I’ve been saying for a long time now is that the players, coaches, and manager is playing for right now. I wouldn’t have blamed any of them last night if they all would have walked off the field, and looked up, and gave Bloom the middle finger as they did. I’ll worry about next year when this season is over. To me keeping Turner is a must despite Yoshida, Raffy, and Casas deficiencies on D. It wouldn’t bother me at all to see them trade Yoshida for some starting pitching. Turner’s bat should play for a couple more years, and produce more than Yoshida anyway.

    A WC slot was there for the taking. Before last night the only 2 teams ahead of them who have been playing good ball was Tampa, and Seattle, but going 3-5 just in their last 8 games isn’t going to do it. The Yankees sweep helped them at the moment, but they lost 2out of 3 to Washington before that, so that’s 7-6 the last 13 games. Not good enough, and with the schedule they have left I just don’t see them getting, or being good enough to win enough to get in. Haven’t given up until it mathematically impossible, but the Red Sox have dug themselves a hole all year long.

    I still felt the game itself left an impression one way, or the other on every Sox fan out there. Certainly on here, and I’ll bet on Cora, the coaches, and players too. Remember Raffy, and Jansen said the team needed pitching help. I sure there was more including Cora who felt the same way, but didn’t come out, and say it. They were right, and yes they know more than Bloom. What impression do you think they all have today? It’s probably a lot worse than BOHICA.
  8. Old Red
    Do you have a better word for it?
  9. Old Red
    Well that game certainly left an impression on everyone from the players, and coaches to the fans in the stands, and to everyone in Red Sox Nation last night, and not a good impression either. I can sum it up with one word. BOHICA.

    Now Max that was a gutsy effort by the Claw Man. All guts, and no glory.
  11. Old Red
    Wow! Back for more.
  12. Old Red
    84 pitches in just 3 innings. I guess Cora wants to make sure the Claw Man can’t pitch again. Wow!
  13. Old Red
    Give the Claw Man credit. He threw 67 pitches of batting practice over just 2 innings.
  14. Old Red
    What do you think the other players in the field are thinking right now?
  15. Old Red
    Everyone was waiting for the injured pitches to come back, which they did, but both Sale, and Houck have both added more extra work by the BP by being on pitch counts, and not going very deep.
  16. Old Red
    It’s pretty bad when the Claw Man is first out of the pen in an important game, or even on the team at all. Where’s the Bra Man when you need him?
  17. Old Red
    It works both ways, and made the pitcher throw a lot more pitches too.
  18. Old Red
    Duvall won’t take a 1 year next year.
  19. Old Red
    Let’s not get carried away with Yoshida’s two hits. One was a gift, because the pitcher couldn’t pick up a ball he’d already fumbled.
  20. Old Red
    Hamilton also back up for Reyes.
  21. Old Red
    They did take him to arbitration too.
  22. Old Red
    His base this year is $20M. Like I said something could have been worked out.
  23. Old Red
    Yes the length of Judge’s contract was insane just like Bogey’s was. The good of the team , short, and long term should have been to include Mookie, and to me that would have been over Raffy if you could only have one, but like I keep saying if you don’t want to pay to play then take your money, and go home. As I said in an earlier post Mookie has a lot of deferred money in his contract, so it’s not all being payed out in 12 years. Something could have, and should have been worked out by the Red Sox.
  24. Old Red
    These two teams aren’t just two big market teams. They are the Red Sox, and the Yankees.
  25. Old Red
    To me it still had to be done if it turns out good, or bad. Judge will go down as one of the Yankee all time greats unless career threatening injuries takes it away from him. Same with Mookie who would have gone down as one of the Red Sox all time greats. To me those guys you keep especially when Mookie was still in the prime of his career. Once again a trade that can’t be defended, and a stain that can’t be erased.
