I hope the ranking committee takes it into account when the rankings come out.
-
Exactly, and some of those 12 less games the Red Sox will be playing the Yankees, and Toronto this year will be made up of good NL teams.

It’s just funny how you’ve mentioned strength of schedule, and playing in a tough Div so many times, but I didn’t hear the same two mentioned after the 2021 season when the Red Sox played in the same Div with a similar schedule that’s all. The Red Sox had the record they did in 2022, because they sucked, and the reasons have been mentioned time, and time again. Injuries, lack of production from key players, and Bloom’s moves, and non moves. If you want to blame the strength of schedule fine, but I don’t. The Red Sox beat the Yankees head to head in 2021, and every year is different. The Red Sox will be playing ALL the good teams in the NL this year, so I don’t know if the schedule will be any easier this year, because of that. We’ll see. I’ve already said I expect the Red Sox to be better this year, but how good remains to be seen. I can’t believe the injury bug will bite them as hard as last year.
-
Oh that tough schedule again! We won’t know if we got worse, or better at any position until the games are played, and being deeper does not necessarily translate to being better.
-
Substitute Lester for Price, and 2018 I believe would still have been won.
-
Then why did Cora say the hope was for Story to come back healthy, and play SS? Story Was going to be the SS this year if he hadn’t of come up injured.
-
Any word on the contract?
-
I was just going by what Cora said that the hope was for Story to come back healthy, and play SS.
-
Did he need TJ?
-
No! Story was, and is a SS. Yes he was a 2B, and a good one especially playing in short RF, but the only reason he was playing there was Bogey was the SS. Lots of ifs in your questions, but I’ve said all along Story if healthy enough, which is another if will be the SS, which I believe that is what he was signed for. Kike is just a short gap .
-
As I had been saying right along before Story came up lame that after Bogey left Story was in the plans to be the SS in 2023, and not staying at 2B, which so many had hoped for.
-
Agree 100%.
-
I’m sure he’s already passed in word count.
-
Like I said earlier if the Red Sox want to win more games just get better. I don’t want to see less games with the Yankees. Too much has been made of last year when the Red Sox sucked against the Div. The year before though the Red Sox had a winning record against the Yankees, and hosted a playoff game against them. Don’t look for an easier path, and an easier schedule just get better, and things will take care of themselves.
-
Option #2 looks better.
-
You’re right! My goof.
-
Now I’m with you on the realignment.
-
What was the big reason for hating Cora?
-
Not at all just going a little more regional.
-
Wow! I was one who said I wouldn’t have hired Cora back, and I like Cora.
-
Dinosaurs? Now if you wanted to realign baseball I’m in. How about a Div of Sox, Yankees, Mets Toronto, Phillies, and Pittsburgh?
-
I don’t think most people would have said anyone hated Cora in the first place.
-
I second the motion.
-
Maybe a participation trophy next?
-
Have you always felt this way, or is it, because the Red Sox sucked big time against the Div last year, and I heard the gee if we played in a different Div we wouldn’t have been in last place. Well we don’t play in a different Div, and we did finish in last place. How did the Red Sox do against the Div in 2021 when I didn’t hear any complaints. Didn’t the Red Sox beat the Yankees head to head, and got the home playoff game, because of it? You don’t know why I would rather play the Yankees 19 games instead of 13 games? Like I said get better if you want to win more games. That’s how I see it.
