I’m not cult DD, but his record in Boston speaks for itself. 4 winning seasons, and the best record in Red Sox history was on his watch. No it wasn’t all his doing, but it was on his watch. I keep repeating that Bloom failed this past year, and that is the bottom line cause Sam Kennedy said so.
-
Ah going back to 2021, which seems light years away. Of course a losing last place in the Div team will do that to you.
-
I would say most just said the Red Sox record was what it was this past year, and Bloom was in charge, and like Sam Kennedy has said Bloom failed.
-
This board is just a very small sample size is it not? Out in the vast reaches of RSN there are millions, and millions of the Rock’s fans who aren’t Bloom’s fans. Yes I know it’s hard to believe.
-
Love him, or don’t like the job he’s doing Bloom is certainly polarizing for someone whose not very polarized.
-
Thanks for asking, and that would be 25 at the gym. 20 against, and 5 sustained. Out side of here how many have you heard from whose pro Bloom? This was just yesterday.
-
No it doesn’t, but my point is out in RSN there are more people who believe that Bloom is not that good, and on here it’s the other way around, which doesn’t make it true either. I’ll go with the masses on this one.
-
Maybe on here, but out in the vast reaches of RSN the message is loud, and clear, and that is the Big Leagues.
-
No sense to some, but sense to many.
-
100% disagree. I’ve been saying for some time now that the Bogey, and Raffy situations have to be know first before you can move forward, and see how much money is spent, and how much is left to spend. Also both situations should have not only been know by now, but known long ago. Then again maybe both were with the lowballed offers, before last season started.
-
The Blame Chaim Game. I’m not much into games, but I love this one.
-
How about 2 out of 3, which are last place finishes, and those are under Bloom’s watch.
-
Well said, and agree 100%.
-
Everyone has budgetary constraints, but no one knows for sure what they are was my point. Either way it’s no excuse for a losing last place in the Div team. Just like now no one knows for sure how much Bloom has to spend on next years team. I don’t even try to guess.
-
Nobody on here. To me I expect a competitive winning team EVERY year, and anything short of a postseason berth is a failure. Like Sam Kennedy said at the year end presser this year we all failed meaning himself, Cora, and Bloom, and he was a 100% right.
-
I’m just saying to me that it is a BIG waste of talent to do a rebuild with Bogey, and Raffy, or even just Raffy himself. Future HOF talent at that. Call it what you want.
-
I agree, and the Red Sox haven’t been rebuilding for some time. You don’t do a rebuild with the likes of Raffy, Bogey, and at present Story, and the past JD, and Mookie. If you have been rebuilding, or are going to that’s just a BIG waste of some pretty good talent.
-
You are right that these are Nothing moves, but some just don’t realize, and think that even nothing moves get analyzed, dissected, and analyzed again.
-
I guess it depends what you call bouncing back. He did up his Ave by 40, and his OPS by 80, but his Gold Glove kind of D was never going to make up for Renfroe’s production especially his 96 RBI. Bad move to begin with, and a bad deal at the end.
-
If you can’t stand the heat of the Big Bad Boston Media, and parts of Red Sox Nation then you probably shouldn’t have come to Boston in the first place. Tampa is Disney World compared to Boston.
-
Wasn’t a lot of them throwing errors? At any rate don’t the Red Sox have to get someone to play RF now, and pay them, and JBJ who isn’t on the team? More costly, and not much sense to me.
-
It has always been amazing to me that a player like Renfroe coming off a 96 RBI season that so many thought he was not worth a $7M contract in arbitration. While he was no gold glover he was no butcher out there either. The placement JBJ while a gold glove could not hit a lick, and Bloom traded Renfroe for him at a higher salary to boot. A real head scratcher as some would say. To me I was all for trading Renfroe, but not for JBJ, and now I would say that a little 2 yr $18M-$20M contract for Renfroe would have made the Red Sox better off, and made more sense.
-
The Phillies gave DD a 3 year contract extension that will take him through 2027. Good move for DD, and the Phillies.
-
If it turns out as expected, and the Red Sox are to cheap to pay Bogey I don’t think they will spend even more money to sign Correa.
-
Well said. Whitlock, and Bello have shown promise, but nothing else, and Sale, and Pax have shown they can pitch in the past, but in recent years not so much, and recently not a healthy body between them.
