Example, and mostly it’s from 1 poster. I’ve been very clear about Bogey, Raffy, and a closer for the past year now, but thanks for asking.
-
I don’t think signing Correa over Bogey for more money would make the anxious fans happy enough to wait for 2024. 2023 is the only thing that matter right now to some. Signing Correa, and bringing Raffy, and trotting out basically the same team I can’t see being any better off. If you are not sure what placates anxious fans by now you will never know. I’ll take a big shot at the dark on this, and I’ll say a winning competitive team that plays in the postseason Unlike this last year that was a losing last place in the Div team.
-
Well said, but who would you sign going forward?
-
This sort of things have, and probably will happen more frequently. Times have changed big time.
-
I wasn’t counting the Covid years, but yes I should have specified, but I think everyone knew about the Covid years. I’m glad you think you know what Henry is thinking.
-
To me the only reason you would keep him for that extra year would be the hope of the team being good in 2023. Outside of that he should have been traded last year when you could have gotten more for a 2/year rental instead of 1.
-
I think you are wrong on this, and I think the signing of Story was the result of Henry hearing all the unrest of the fans of only doing for the most part bargain basement shopping.
-
I agree with the product on the field part, but remember JH has BIG rabbit ears, and he hears all the feed back.
-
Looking better to the public may be what JH is thinking. Attendance was lower this past year than any other year since JH took over, and losing Bogey, and Raffy I believe would make it go down even more. Paying customers should, and do have more pull than you think, or want them to have.
-
No I’m just talking on how things would look at the moment when Bogey leaves, and possibly Raffy too. Casas, and Bello have lots of promise, but not much else at this point. Bogey will be replaced as will others, but I’m not going to have any high hopes to think things will be any better after Humpty Dumpty gets put back together again.
-
From all reports both negotiations as they are with Bogey , and Raffy are far apart. Reports aren’t always very accurate, but the fact remains that Bogey is a FA, and Raffy has one year to go, and neither are resigned. Not surprising to me at all. Like I’ve said actions speak louder than words, and in my view if the Red Sox really wanted Bogey signed it would have been done by now. Their words say one thing, and their actions say another. Season ticket holders may have to be sold on Casas, and his eye at the plate, and farm rankings. That will be a hard sell for many.k

That’s the problem your not, and you don’t go overboard on stuff like that. At least MOST people wouldn’t.
-
Very true that is.
-
You showed your true colors when you made fun of E Rod. Not a good color, or a good look. You were also called out by others. Wow!
-
The Ref Man has signed for $1.2M.
-
Seems like Downs is getting way to much ink for the 40th man, but to each it’s own.
-
Your favorite response when you can’t defend your words. Most times it’s actions speak louder than words, but in your case it’s the other way around. Your words tell the WHOLE story.
-
It’s like you before last season started came to what you thought was an astute observation, and diagnosis that Bogey would be playing under much mental stress this past year, because playing along side Story when Bogey knew Story was a better defensive shortstop than he was. I don’t think Bogey thought that at all, but that’s what you come out with. Simple thoughts? You mean like you talking about ERod being in a mental institution. That showed what you are all about, so yes you proved that words do matter. Simple is as simple does.
-
I know you can’t help it, but You think you have to not just analyze, but micro analyze every word written on here, and when you do it doesn’t matter if what you come up with is right, or wrong. Imagine that you think you are so good at it that you can tell someone what they think better than they can. It’s not a gift at all for you, or anybody else. If you need a depth chart then good for you, but i don’t.
-
This guy can’t even hit AAA pitching.
-
I certainly don’t live on planet Moon, and nor would I want to.
-
Careful, Moon will tell you to become some other team’s fan the big authoritarian he thinks he is.
-
That’s OK I’m used to it. All bark, and no bite.
-
The biggest thing you are extreme about is your constant over analyzing, and getting things wrong like your coming to a conclusion that I hated Cora. You were wrong then, and have been ever since. You interpret words, and turn it into something that fits what ever narrative you want to go on at the time, and the accuracy to you doesn’t matter at all. If I’ve got some to say I’m not afraid to say it, so I don’t have to walk anything back. Come on man!

Attendance was the lowest last year since JH took over, so it will be interesting to see how the fans turn out in 2023.
