  1. Oh I get that part, but I’m not so sure he’s right for the rotation outside of the fact that the other options are to go back to Pivetta, or Kluber.
  2. Barnyards?
  3. Dr Jeckel, and Mr Hyde. One minute Kike would make an outstanding play, and the next minute he would throw the ball away.
  4. And now starting Crawford it’s like starting an opener, which puts even more of a workload on the BP.
  5. They don’t have an ace either.
  6. I agree this is the best way to go also. The Red Sox have done better with trades than with an expensive FA signing. Cole has worked out for the Yankees, but it seems other big money signings lately haven’t worked out.
  7. Yoshida/GOshida/NOshida. Take your pick.
  8. A good picture of him the other night when Valdez bobbled the ball, and shuffled the ball to 1B, which went over Casas head. The picture showed Casas leaning forward all stretched . out as the ball went over his head. Why would you lean, and stretch forward if the ball is going over your head. Anticipating the throw before it happened. Bad technique all the way around.
  9. That’s why I said yet. It’s bad though when he has had trouble with both the bat, and the glove. His footwork at 1B is terrible.
  10. The key word is IF translated into big league talent, which hasn’t happened yet with Casas.
  11. Yes they may have strengthened the system, but that still doesn’t mean, or guarantee anymore success for the big league club.
  12. Not one person has said to give up on anyone. All I’m saying is pump the brakes on counting on all these suspects until they actually produce in the big leagues.
  13. No one said that. They all should be given a chance or traded for someone who can help the big club. All I’m saying, and have been saying is that I’m not counting on any of them until they actually produce in a Red Sox uniform. Casas like I said is still a major suspect, and not a major league player who hasn’t so far lived up to his hype.
  14. So many are counting on the likes of Mayer, Rafaela, Casas etc who are nothing, but suspects at this point with the BIGGEST suspect at the moment being Casas. Most likely not all will work out.
  15. It’s not hard to grade Bloom on the last 4 years of the big club though,which is the most important.
  16. The Red Sox have 33 people in the analytics department. I repeat 33 people. What more do you want?
  17. Kike is on the bench tonight with Pablo at SS. Casas at DH, and Turner at 1B.
  18. All of Iggy’s faults don’t come close to all of Kike’s faults.
  19. You shouldn’t have to suck at the major league level to do it.
  20. Not spoiled at all. As we’ve seen this year again some teams that have spent mega bucks is not translating over to the playing field, and the standings. Better decisions with better results is what the fans want. The Red Sox FO said they all failed last year, which was one of the things they were actually honest about for how the season ended up.
  21. Or a Ron Guidry.
  22. Stop, before you even start. The Red Sox are a losing team. I repeat a losing team, who couldn’t beat a losing Cardinal team when they came into Boston, lost to a losing Cincinnati team when they came into Boston, and so far have lost to a losing Colorado team against the great Connor Seabold, so save the excuses of what division they are in, and have been in since the divisions are invented.
  23. I get all of that, but that had NOTHING to do with how many teams made the playoffs, and that has been my point all along, and now you finally admitted there were fewer teams that made the playoffs then. Finally!
  24. I would call Bob Gibson, a three time running champion A’s that the Red Sox had to knock off just to get to face the BIG Red Machine as legitimate reasons, and not excuses. At least back in those days.
  25. Yes it was impressive, but still they didn’t have to face a Bob Gibson, a three time running champion Oakland A’s, or the Big Red Machine. Beating them would have been impressive.
