    The Con Man got a 6 game suspension last year for throwing a hissy fit on a ball-strike call so I don’t feel sorry for him at all. As I said the pitcher crossed the line for adding the boy to the comment.

    Romy was 2-16 in his rehab AB, which wasn’t very many AB for the amount of time he was was out, and then just stick him in the 5 hole ahead of a hot Durbin like he was going to be the Romy of 2025.🤔

    The context is the here, and now, and has been all along. Games started counting in March, and lots of players had a hand due to their lack of production in the Red Sox slow start, and the record they have today. I’ve already said that Durbin has been a completely different hitter, but it was DUBin who got off to the horrendous start that contributed to that record, and a lot of damage was done, because of it. little Anthony is a completely different story altogether with his pinky swear injury.

    As I said before the season started, and a few times since that Alonso will have more HR, and RBI than the Con Man, and that’s not downing the Con Man, As things have turned out so far it seems the only other big bat to have made a difference was Flintstone Schwaber.
  5. Old Red
    Bregman was plan A, but I said before FA started to sign Schwaber, and Alonso.

    Cora did believe in incumbency IMO, and it was Brez who moved Raffy off 3B. If it had been up to Cora, and Cora was still here I believe Raffy would still be the Red Sox 3B.
  7. Old Red
    Wow!! Did the point go way over your helmet with all the N’S on it. Raffy was the incumbent 3B in Boston, and had been since 2018. When Raffy got traded to SF the Giants already had an incumbent 3B, and a good one at that. Two entirely DIFFERENT situations.🤭🙈👋

    Wow! Rough crowd.

    The one where they didn’t land a BIG bat. A BIG bat would have helped the team more than Ranger has.

    I’m just reporting what is being said out there. I know many on here can’t stand to hear one of the Golden Boys being criticized, but I go to many different venues to get as many different views, and opinions that I can, and there is not one who hasn’t criticized little Anthony before he got hurt, and getting hurt again has just added to the frustration along with the record of the team. As I keep saying here, and now.

    You can make all the excuses you want for little Anthony, it doesn’t matter if he’s 22, 32, or 42. It doesn’t matter if he has 433 AB, 1433 AB, or 5000 AB. He’s getting judged on what he’s doing now, or before he hurt his pinky doing that pinky swear with Mayer. What he did last year doesn’t matter. What he did in the WBC doesn’t matter. It’s what he did before he got hurt THIS Year in the games that was counting. You just can’t comprehend that. Just because other people don’t agree with you you call them idiots, and like I’ve been telling you there are many, many out there. No one is saying little Anthony won’t be a good ball player, but at the moment, this year so far he’s been a major disappointment, and a flop. It’s everywhere. It’s everywhere.🤫

    The pitcher crossed the line calling him Boy, but most likely the Con Man would have acted the same way if the pitcher had just said SIT Down. Flip the bat, and these things will happen.
  13. Old Red
    He’s like Francis on Stripes.
  14. Old Red
    Well said. If he’s not trying to fight someone he’s smashing something in the dugout.
  15. Old Red
    Thanks for the shoutout.
  16. Old Red
    Did you see the pre-game on Saturday on a National TV network who talked about the BIG 3 and said they flopped? It’s everywhere, it’s everywhere that people are calling little Anthony, Mayer, and KC floppers. Whether you like that, or not that’s what’s out there. You can cry all you want that I haven’t said anything so called positive about little Anthony. He looked like a little leaguer in the outfield, and stood there too many times with the bat on his shoulders taking strike three before he got hurt, but he did draw some walks, so Whoopie. little Anthony it will be.😭
  17. Old Red
    Blamed for washouts no, but expectations yes.
  18. Old Red
    I understand, and agree with that, but to much expectations shouldn’t have been expected, and that’s where I have the problem with.
  19. Old Red
    Whoopie he got some walks, but he was being counted on for a lot more production than just walking. 1 HR, and 4 RBI is a flop, and thus little Anthony.
  20. Old Red
    Two injuries are two long injuries in two years is definitely not a good start.
  21. Old Red
    I agree. Devers thought he was a good 3B, but they struggled at 1B, and Franchy was as bad as it gets with Casas getting hurt like he did.
  22. Old Red
    No idea? All reports said no.🤔
  23. Old Red
    We’ve gone all over this 100’s of times already. Raffy going to SF was a whole entirely different situation, and a bad comparison at that. Raffy had been the Red Sox regular 3B for better, or worse since 2018. He went to SF who already had a good 3B, so Raff’s only choice to play outside of DH was 1B, so why you bring up that situation, and try to make a comparison you whiffed on. Why Cora didn’t talk to Raffy about playing 1B is pure speculation on everyone’s part. Also it was never an argument on how good of a 3B Raffy was, but as I’ve always said I don’t believe it was a big deal to Cora as long as Raffy hit. Did Cora think Franchy Strange Glove made the IF defense better? Going through 11 different 2B two years ago, or keeping Kike at SS as long as he did. Filling in for an injured teammate at 1B has never been proven to me would have made the Red Sox better with Raffy there, and then you weakened the DH position.
  24. Old Red
    By all reports the Red Sox did not make any offer to Schwaber. Brez was saving his money for Bregman I guess.
  25. Old Red
    Especially on little Anthony.
