    I heard the press conference on the post game last night. He did take blame, and usually does when things don’t go well. Did someone check the TV in the clubhouse to see if it is still working though?
  2. Old Red
    Originally when Rafaela came up yesterday Cora said he would probably be starting today, so I guess he changed his mind, and didn’t want to bench someone, so he could play.

    If he wasn’t hired to make the team to be competitive, and in the postseason every year than what’s the use. You should be able to make the farm better too. Sam Kennedy said all of baseball ops failed last year by not making the postseason. What will he say this year if the same results occur?

    The pummeled France last time, and Bello shut Houston down, and went seven. Need another effort like that again tonight.
  5. Old Red
    Surprise on Hamilton, but not on the RAF Man starting.
  6. Old Red
    Having three starters go out at the same time put a big hurt on things, and add the demise of the opening day starter in Kluber didn’t help either, but we all knew going into the season, and counting on this bunch to stay healthy was a risky proposition at best, and Sale did not disappoint. Whitlock getting hurt was not a big surprise to me either.
  7. Old Red
    Outside of getting some actual reliable starters, and no I don’t know who when Houck, Sale, and Whit went down? Nothing!
  8. Old Red
    At the time yes I did, but it wasn’t just me, but players alike.

    I know I asked the question last offseason who said the Red Sox would spend up to the tax line, because I was under I’ll believe it when I see it mode, and I’m still in that mode when it comes to starting pitching.
  10. Old Red
    Yes the Vaz trade did turn out to be good, but is Bloom just to Indecisive to do anything else one way, or the other?
  11. Old Red
    I still stick to what I said there are so many differing reports out there you don’t know who to believe, but every one is believing something. All I’m saying it was taken for granted these past 4 years that it was all JH to say to trade Mookie, and now I’m just not all that sure.
  12. Old Red
    Yes this cluster f—- was a big, big difference.
  13. Old Red
    That damm third option in the fork in the road that Bloom is still looking for again, and you are right it makes no one happy, and doesn’t help the team. Not for 1 year, but two years in a row now.
  14. Old Red
    No it was not you who said this was Bloom’s make, or break year, but Moon.
  15. Old Red
    I’ve never noticed that.🙈
  16. Old Red
    I really don’t think JH is into the day to day operation of the team so much that he is telling Bloom not to trade prospects, and after the report I read the other day that said JH never told Bloom Mookie had to be traded to stay under the dreaded tax line that makes me even more weary about Bloom.
  17. Old Red
    I never said you defend everything the Red Sox, or Bloom does, because you don’t, but I think it’s always your first thought.
  18. Old Red
    Seems to me I remember someone saying last year that this year (2023) would be Bloom’s make, or break year. I guess he’s broken.
  19. Old Red
    Huh? That’s what I thought talking about a trade that happened in 2020.
  20. Old Red
    Did Houston do anything at the deadline to try, and improve the team? Seems to me they did.
  21. Old Red
    I know you have this same reply already to go. It looks like it’s loser baseball no matter which way it went. How many more prospects do you need unless it’s starting pitches? I get it that you just want the Red Sox to keep kicking the can down the road. How is that not loser baseball?
  22. Old Red
    You don’t think $100M is high for a DH? I have no idea what is out there for starting pitching, but I keep hearing the Red Sox have to many players who should DH. Nonsense was last nights game.
  23. Old Red
    Was that this year? You also forgot one of your fan faves the Sea Man.
  24. Old Red
    To go into a game in the middle of a postseason race against one of the teams you are fighting against with Chris Frail on the mound who if you got lucky might give you five innings with 4 guys in the BP unavailable, and no LHP on top of that, and your first option in the 5th with a 1 run lead is the Claw Man. That is a minor league operation at best, and a bush league operation with the results. Not doing nothing at the trade deadline, or not doing anything weeks before when 3 starters were out, and openers, and BP games were used game after game was waving the white flag. The battle cry of we’ve got three reinforcements coming back, and we’ll be all set was more than blind hope. Sale, and Houck have been on pitch counts, and the BP has been worn out due to the overuses. Bush league operations at best.
  25. Old Red
    Only if Bloom was the HOBO on the receiving end of the trade.
