That pretty much sums it up, but I just think talking face to face tops every thing off. It’s not the same this year though with the Red Sox, and Yankees bringing up the rear. It just doesn’t have that xtra zing to it.
-
But can you see it? Can you taste it? Can you feel it? Big Big difference.
-
When you actually live in the Nation, and go out, and talk to other people in the Nation on a daily basis I would say you get a better vibe of what’s out there more so than what you get when you live from afar. Not to mention the local papers, and your favorite local sports talk shows.

The only time I believed Sam was when he said all of baseball ops failed last year.
-
The OVERWHELMING majority isn’t always right, but probably more often the the vast minority.
-
I don’t believe Boston will see Raf before Sept 1 unless a couple of the present OF go down with injuries.
-
I’m not expecting much from Story anyway, and I don’t know how much of an upgrade Story will be over Chang on D. He hasn’t played SS for two years, so time will tell on that. As for his bat goes I don’t think he’s under any more pressure than last year, and probably even less.
-
Unfortunately it’s not good for me, them, or most important the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
-
It’s pretty obvious to most Red Sox fans that Bloom is pretty much responsible period for everything from construction of the team to start the season to not getting any pitching, before, or at the deadline. The word in NE, and on the street, and anywhere else you venture in RSN is a lot different than you get mostly on here. Now is the future, and not what might happen in 2024, and beyond.
-
I’m not the one who said if they don’t see Dugy in any long range plans sit him. That would be the last reason to me.
-
I just heard some of Pap’s comments he made the other day after the sweep by the jays. He asked what the analytics were of using so many BP guys, and what the analytics were of injured players coming back. If there aren’t any I guess Bloom is trying to invent them. Also when there were some smoke somewhere around the ballpark Pap said don’t worry Bloom is still the HoBO I guess in a reference to the Pope. Also said the Red Sox were definitely underdogs now. Classic Pap telling it like it is no only from an ex ball player, but a pitcher as well. Well done Pap.
-
I wouldn’t not play Dugy, because he is not in the teams long term plans.
-
I don’t have a problem with Ref playing even playing against RHP, because Dugy, and Duvall haven’t been wielding a hot bat, but i wouldn’t take Dugy out, because he’s not in any future plans.
-
Ref has been nothing, but a journeyman for a reason for years. Dugy was maybe their best player the first part of the season, and now, because he might not be in the team’s long terms plans you want to sit him. Wow!
-
I didn’t know Woo was the big leagues, but at least he stayed healthy. He hasn’t played SS in two years, and I’m sure he hasn’t forgotten how, but I’m just not expecting that much from him when he comes back just like I felt with Duvall.
-
I was talking more about the RHP situation, but you have to stick the loser reference in there. Loser to me is saying why bother to add anything since the team ain’t good enough anyway, so why even bother to watch?
-
Wow! Getting riled and F’n. I didn’t think I was complaining either, but just raising a question. If you criticize it’s bashing, or hating. From one extreme to the other.
-
I never even mentioned Ref, and in some of my other post I said the Red Sox had 4+ OF. No one said Ref shouldn’t play at all, but I don’t think he needs to play every time. If Dugy, and Duvall are going well they would stay in the lineup. Dugy wasn’t getting benched until Duvall came back. I was talking more about the constant rotation against RHP. Like I said things aren’t working out so well now with the OF especially Duvall, and Dugy.
-
It’s a big question if Story can play SS full time.
-
Yes the whole team is in a slump, so obviously the way it’s being done now is working so well. Bury the other 2? That’s one way to look at it, but so is playing what you think is the best 3. It shouldn’t be so complicated, but Cora has made it that way.
-
Wow! 1 gift win(?), and people are all giddy today. Which way is the wind blowing today?
-
Dugo hasn’t been the same since he got taken out of the leadoff spot either. All I’m saying is none of the 3 have been exactly killing it with the bat lately, and I don’t think being in, and out of the lineup helps.
-
11-48 in Duvalls last 15 games with 17 K’s, 2 HR, and 4 RBI. Cora thinks he has to keep playing all 5 OF, and I don’t believe he does. I don’t think it doing Duvall, Dugy, or Duran any good to be in, and out of the lineup. Pick 2 of the 3, and stick with them.
-
Looked like a nice win last night, but the bats have to get going. It’s looked like slumber with the lumber for to many games now.
-
Well they pushed Bello back a day to face the Royals, so they’d better win this one.
