Old Red

Remember how early in the season when the Red Sox were getting gift wins like I believe on opening day Baltimore dropped a easy fly ball in LF , which would have ended the game, but Boston went on to win. Another game that had 3 catcher interference in it that helped the team win. Now the Red Sox are giving back like the base running blooper from yesterday, and 2 IF collided going after a ground ball, and looking like the Bad News Bears.

Bloom I don’t believe knows how to do that. Hence the third option at the fork in the road concept.

Managing in Boston is a pressure cooker job, but it’s not as bad as it could be for Cora, because most of the anger is directed to Bloom, and JH, so Cora is only third down the list.

I know some on here don’t think they do, but to me they owe it to the fans, who shell out big bucks to go watch some of that crap, and to the players in the clubhouse.

To me if you don’t play to win then don’t play at all. Kennedy said last year they all failed, because they didn’t make the postseason, so how many failures should a team be allowed? To me 1 season is 1 season to many especially when what’s down the road may never get to be as good as what some are hoping for. Watching years just pass away is just ridiculous to me, and the JH that first come here wouldn’t let that happen like the JH of today.

There has been many games not just this year, but last year too especially between base running, and the D that the team has looked like a bunch of Little Leaguers.

Maybe the Red Sox should bring Larry Lucchino back again to run things again.

While you sing in my little corner of the world. Hilarious, and sad movies at the same time. I’m heading out to the club to mingle with some Red Sox fans.

Dugy was a late scratch, but You have 4+ OF, and Cora thinks he has to play them all.Somebody has to sit especially with Turner back. Verdugo hasn’t been hitting much for a few weeks now, but neither has Duvall.

100% truth. I also have witnesses to prove it. Do you have witnesses to prove otherwise in your little corner of the world?

Good for Kike. Was always a fan of his when he was with the Dodgers the first time.

Do you think when Cora said it doesn’t matter how many prospects you have, or what the rankings of the farm system is, and what matters most is what you do, or don’t do in October was directed at Bloom?

I don’t seek out anyone, and I don’t always agree with everyone, but like I said often I like t get as much info as I can get, and sometimes I learn something new. Sometimes Shaugnessy is right, and sometimes he is wrong, and the same with Mass, but that is no different then the people who post on here.

From the man from afar, and talksox Joyless Behar. I’ve been a Red Sox fan longer than you, and I don’t think, because I don’t meet your standards, and like you are no authoritarian that is going to change.

You don’t think Cora is embarrassed for what he has had to trot out for all these openers, and BP games? Probably not. What amazes me is how fans from afar can have much of a clue on what the real pulse of Red Sox Nation is. Unless you live in it, work in it, play in it, and talk face to face with others that I do I’m sure you don’t get anywhere near the whole picture. Reading the local, and Boston papers, and the local, and NE columnist not to mention all the NE talk shows, and the likes of Mas, and Shaugnessy who I know the mention of those names, and talk shows send people into a tizzy on here, but some of those guys have probably forgotten more than you will ever know. It’s easy to set behind a keypad, but I go out, and talk, and mingle pretty much on a daily basis. Some Yankees fans, and even an O’s fan that has taking so much abuse for years is living it up now.Bottom line from what I encounter in all my encounters the opinions for the most part are a lot different from what I hear on here. I have showed some of the tit for tats, and I know you are, but what am I that has gone on here countless times, and one of the women dubbed you, and some of the others after Whoopie as the men of the view, or talksox as it may. Appropriate, and fitting, and I LMAO. Sad, but true for some who only reside in my little corner of the world of talksox. So like I said to go on thinking as you wish that most of my opinions are of the few when if you really get out, and about they would probably be more of the many. This is the second time you’ve told me to be a fan of someone else, and I’ll consider the source, and pass. If Cora is embarrassed, which I’m sure he is shouldn’t he go manage another team? Can you see it, can you feel it? I can along with many others.

Imminent return of 2-3 pitchers? They’ve needed help for weeks now. When Raffy came out, and said the Red Sox needed pitching was that bashing Bloom? When Jansen said the Red Sox needed help was that bashing Bloom? When Cora came out, and said it doesn’t matter how many prospects you have, or what your farm ranking is, and what matters most is what you do, and don’t do in October was that bashing Bloom? To me Cora was bashing Bloom. To me it’s been embarrassing to watch the Red Sox have so many games using an opener, and BP games, and truth be told I bet Cora would tell you the same thing. The Red Sox have turned into a minor league operation, and I heard that Wake brought it up during the broadcast last night not doing anything to help the club at the deadline sent a bad message to the clubhouse, and he should know. Watching most of the clubs in contention for a postseason berth do something to try to improve like the Jay’s did, and the Red Sox do practically nothing is not what fans pay top dollar to see.

How about Sale in the BP? Then it’s not as big a deal when he goes on the IL?

When Toronto lost it’s closer they went out, and got one. When Toronto lost their SS they went out, and got one. Big difference.

Agree 100% on Whit , and Houck in the pen.

Thanks anyway.

Nothing sinister to only mention Minoan just, because he was pitching tonight. I appreciate you checking on me though.

Kike’s problem was throwing, and 2B is easier to play as far as that goes.

Counting on Sale, Whitlock, or Houck again sounds more than risky to me.

Urias has never been a FT 2B though, and has played there less games than at SS, or 3B, so we’ll see how it works out.

Until Story comes back.
