  1. I think Turner likes playing in Boston, so Bloom may have to add another year to keep him depending what Turner can get out on the market.
  2. At least Bloom did spend some money to fix the backend of the BP, but he certainly hasn’t put much money into the Rotation. ERod, Wacha, and Evol aren’t here, because of money, and the length of money, and that’s why Kluber was signed this past off season, because he was cheap, and for 1 year.
  3. On the other hand could the Red Sox have gotten a serviceable starter for a prospect when the rotation had 3 starters out with injuries?
  4. Casas was in original lineup, but has tooth infection.
  5. Looks like the first 4 guys in the Red Sox lineup got some new bats that worked last night. Hope the rest of the team gets theirs soon.
  6. You mean like going over the CBT last year? They didn’t need to break the bank to bring another starter who could give you 5-6 innings.
  7. I hope you are right, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
  8. Groome, and Ball did not work out.
  9. Like I keep saying the JH of today is not the JH of 10-15 years ago. What he would have done back then like resigning Betts he wouldn’t do today, so I don’t think there is any lesson to be learned from his stand point.
  10. I keep hearing this, but why wouldn’t they want to compete? What’s the downside? Just appeasing the fans would be an upside especially when they want to raise ticket prices again.
  11. It was never about the deadline for me, but the amount of time when all 3 injured P went down until they came back, and still haven’t come back 100%.
  12. Especially with the season winding down.
  13. I don’t think may be wearing down, and toast again are the same thinking. He has appeared in a lot of games.
  14. Wink may be wearing down a bit.
  15. Sale has been injured so many times foolishly I was thinking last years rehab was this years rehab, and Sale was coming back for the second time. I guess it was tangling with that TV in Worcester.
  16. If it was the other way around that Raffy came up for a contract first, and Mookie last then I believe it would be Mookie who would be here today.
  17. It hilarious I don’t hear any of the Mookie who stuff on here like when Dugy was going so good earlier in the season, or saying the trade was looking better, and better.
  18. Football. You bet!
  19. I stand corrected, but that doesn’t change the need for regular starters, so the Red Sox in a wildcard chase still wouldn’t be using anyone as an opener, or someone who isn’t on a pitch count at this point in the season. Make Red the problem instead of Bloom.
  20. Get technical on what an opener is all you want, but the main point is a regular starter in mid season form, that should have been obtained weeks ago who wouldn’t have had a pitch limit should have been the right way to go instead of waiting for 3 pitches still in a rehab mode.
  21. An over priced opener is what he is right now.How many rehab starts did he have last time compared to this time?
  22. Everyone including Bloom kept waiting for the three injured pitchers to come back, and now they are here, but at what % efficiency? Sale was rushed back, and at the moment is nothing, but an over priced opener. Normally he would have gotten more rehab starts in so he could go more than 3-4 innings, but not this time. Same with Whit who was rushed who looked good one time, and looked like he was throwing batting practice the next. Who knows what Houck will look like? Of course the Red Sox didn’t need any starters when the 3 were out, because they had Bernadino to open. Minor league operation, from a minor league HOBO.
  23. And because he was the last one standing.
  24. Halfway through Aug, and Reyes has been your best hitter. Who’d da thunk it?
  25. You might be right.
