    Sensitive might be to strong a word on here.
  2. Old Red
    Exactly. NG in Florida did the same thing just recently.
  3. Old Red
    He shored up the BP in Boston though.

    I suppose that JH getting Boo’d all the time must be to strong of a reaction too.🙈
  5. Old Red
    It makes some feel better about JH to say Ben was just demoted, and then walked out on his own. Same results. Poor JH that volatility is to strong a word.

    I wouldn’t blame DD for not wanting Sam in a lot of meetings. DD has probably forgotten more about baseball than Sam will ever know.
  7. Old Red
    It wasn’t a straight out firing, but DD was put in charge of him. He could have stayed, but in a diminished role, so call it what you want.
  8. Old Red
    It’s not a myth at all on why Ben left.
  9. Old Red
    And Sam’s not talking.
  10. Old Red
    Wouldn’t most people be shocked after getting fired after being in charge of 4 winning seasons, and a WS title to boot?
  11. Old Red
    A big difference too is that LL used to run the Red Sox, but now I don’t know who JH gets his main advice from. Sam?
  12. Old Red
    Now there is probably more truth in that than not. DD has a lot of respect in MLB built up through his many years.
  13. Old Red
    Being there for 20+ seasons probably had something to do with it too.
  14. Old Red
    I guess they could have kept Bloom around since they have to pay him, and had him be in charge of picking up the trash in Fenway after games, which at least was something he was good at.
  15. Old Red
    Wow! Comparing Ben to Tricky Dick.
  16. Old Red
    The big difference is DD had 4 winning seasons, and a WS title.
  17. Old Red
    Did he have somewhere else to go? He’s gotten a different job title, but does he actually have a different job? He wasn’t the head guy either, so there is a number of possibilities on why he didn’t leave.
  18. Old Red
    JH didn’t fire Ben, but bringing in DD I think JH pretty much knew that Ben would leave, so while not in actuality Ben was fired,but by bringing in DD brought the same results. Agree on Larry.
  19. Old Red
    Kowloons used to be the hangout place according to Eddie Andleman back in the day.
  20. Old Red
    I think two of the most reliable sources now are Jen, and Stats.
  21. Old Red
    Tomase is the only one who’s around the Red Sox much on a regular basis of the 4. I don’t put much stock of anything into what Felger, and Mazz say anyway, and Shaugnessy is an old dog who has been around for a long time, so if you are going to these guys for accuracy I would look elsewhere. You have to know on who is more in tune, and accurate to begin with. Honest? You mean the Sam The Sham, and co?
  22. Old Red
    It’s even slow in getting a pitching, and 3B coach.
  23. Old Red
    I don’t care who likes BTV either. I have never tried to discredit analytics one time. What I have ALWAYS said is that I don’t need analytics, so f that’s what you call discrediting then I’m guilty.On the other hand more than one on here has tried with no success to discredit me of only needing the old times stats, and the good old eye test. That’s a fact. Another thing that cracks me up is how you guys go off every time Felger, and Mazz, Tomase, or Shaugnessy is mentioned like you know more than they do. If all of them read some of what you guys put out on here they most likely would go off on you guys too.
  24. Old Red
    Perception is everything.
  25. Old Red
    Tom, and Sam said it’s just a perception, and a narrative that there has been a lot of turnover at the top of baseball ops the last ten years, and there were lot of candidates that contacted the Red Sox this year that people didn’t hear about despite the 12 who wouldn’t even talk to the Sox including an in-house employee. Spinning, and grinning at its best.
