    Well they pushed Bello back a day to face the Royals, so they’d better win this one.

    The stands are still being full, but what was brought up too is that it seems more of the opposition fans like Toronto, and the Mets are filling up the stands, and over shadowing the Red Sox fans, where it used to be the other way around when the Red Sox went on the road. That to me says more tickets are available. Of course it’s all money to JH pockets no matter where it comes from.

    Sorry I missed it. TC must have been aghast.

    Also a lot milder on here than the Newspapers, the airwaves, or the street too. I just heard that Pap was ripping Bloom on the postgame yesterday. If he was good for him.

    Agree, and the starting rotation has always been a big question of health. I know many on here wanted the Sox go out, and get a SS after Bogey left, and keep Story at 2B! and it hindsight that would have been the best way to go.

    Who knows, and we’ll never know what this team would have done the last two years without out all the injuries. Outside of the little league play at times maybe things aren’t as bad as they seem, but like I said we’ll never know.

    I agree I have heard the so called Bloom supporters all criticizing Bloom at some point, and hard to believe that I have praised Bloom a time, or two. I said it at the time that he did a good job of fixing the backend of the BP with Martin, and Jansen.

    Now we agree that this team way to often looks like a bunch of Little Leaguers,but I just keep the feeling that they will put things together, and play well enough, and long enough to get into the postseason, and then anything can happen. That may be more than wishful thinking, but that’s all I got. If it’s wrong then it’s wrong. I’ll admit I’ve become a bad baseball fan, because I don’t like the way things are done today, and I just think it’s a watered down product, but I do keep up what’s happening, and look at the box scores every night. We disagree, but I just don’t see a sell off when there is still a mathematical chance. I felt that last year, and I feel that this year. My football team years back were having a losing season, and I posted that I hoped they lost games the rest of the year to get a better draft pick. Long story short they won the SB that year, and I got roasted, and toasted. I get your opinion to a point, but just don’t agree.

    Oh No Shaugnessy even mentioned Fangraphs had the farm ranking at #3, and to pop the champagne corks. In the meantime the big club is slip sliding away.
  10. Old Red
    I didn’t want any of them dealt, or do any fire sale like lots did on here, so why would I?
  11. Old Red
    There are many Red Sox fans out there who follow the exploits of ex Red Sox players especially the ones that you mentioned. Okay I haven’t mentioned the injuries, and the slippage of the ex players you mentioned either, so I’ll make sure I will when Kike sucks again. I disappeared on here yes I did, but just like last year I stayed with the Red Sox to the end when you, and others wanted a fire sale, and quit. Just like this year with your the Red Sox aren’t good enough so why bother to add anything, and just sell off again. That a loser attitude. Oh I forgot the Red Sox are planning for sometime in the future that something good may never happen. Sorry I don’t wave Pom poms like some do on here, but I don’t wave the white flag either. Like I say if you are not going to play to win then why play at all. Johnny from Burger King, and the word on the street will tell you that, but that’s only if you care to look.

    I’m sure it would really mess Bernardino up if he couldn’t start the game anymore, and had to wait to the 6th inning. Of course if you had a good starter he might not be needed at all.
  13. Old Red
    Kind of like any kind of criticism is a basher, or god forbid a hater.
  14. Old Red
    I didn’t campaign to deal him off, because if you remember I wouldn’t have resigned him in the first place. A $10M waste, and I said it at the time. Thanks for the postseason of 2021, but what have you done for me lately?
  15. Old Red
    Learned from last year? Bloom probably thinks he did a good job last year.
  16. Old Red
    You are right you shouldn’t speak for Cora, and I don’t think Cora would speak anyway like this.
  17. Old Red
    I’m not looking for much from Story anyway. He hasn’t played SS for 2 years, and once again Chang had solidified the D at SS, so I don’t know how much you’ll gain there. As with the bat that should be an improvement, but outside of a few hot flashes with the bat last year Story Land was closed more than it was opened.
  18. Old Red
    You are right about one thing about the Bloom supporters accepting the way Bloom is doing things as long as the team is good in 2030.
  19. Old Red
    I tell it like it is, and I give him kudos just like I did JD, Evol, and Wacha earlier in the season when they were doing good.
  20. Old Red
    Mr. Indecisive didn’t know what to do.
  21. Old Red
    Kike is 11-33 since leaving Boston with 6 RBI. Way to go Kike!
  22. Old Red
    Nor would I want to.
  23. Old Red
    Yes it was a possibility, but the Red Sox needed help with pitching weeks ago when all the injuries happened. Do you think Cora has enjoyed throwing all those openers, and BP castoffs out there? Waiting for the returning players as the season ticks away, and the losses mount up is just not sound judgment, and Cora I believe is smarter than that.
  24. Old Red
    That’s an easy one. BLOOM.
  25. Old Red
    This is farthest from the truth than anything to me, and the most unrealistic. I don’t know why it’s so hard for some to think it’s so far fetched that Cora, and the players are gong out there to win now despite at times looking like Little Leaguers, and actually has the concept that getting into the post season of 2023 is most important, and not 2027 when hardly anyone will still be here anymore anyways.
