    How many straws are you going to grasp at to say it’s the same as the shift, which is going, going GONE next year.
  2. Old Red
    Who said it did? Nobody!
  3. Old Red
    Seattle was not playing well when the Sox played them, and the Angels were going through their long losing streak unlike how they are playing now.

    I did not say Raffy sucks right now, but he does, and he should get just as much flak as JD, and Bogey has gotten. I’m not going to gripe about it, but the bad comes with the good. I just said it was painful to watch him swing a bat right now when I know he is a lot better than that. Bello is enjoying to watch, and just needs more consistency with that wild stretch.

    They made it back to a winning record by playing the bad, bad, bad West that you bought into. What happened when they got back to playing the Div teams again? Reality set back in, and here we are today with a losing record, and LAST PLACE in the Div.
  6. Old Red
    No! The 50,000 shift increase in a 10 year period, which I believe is at a all time pace this year also.

    Once again are you saying paying customers, which you are not should be watching so called bubble players when they go to Fenway? Like I said earlier people at the games in person only care about that moment in time, and not if Ort will make the team next year. Now that is not Rocket science.
  8. Old Red
    At the moment it’s pretty painful to watch Raffy swing a bat.
  9. Old Red
    Are you talking the paying customers, or on here? Big difference.
  10. Old Red
    No I’m saying that Ort to me was not the best option. That would have been a situation for a good long man, or setup man.
  11. Old Red
    All analytics driven, which I don’t see as bringing any improvement to the game.
  12. Old Red
    Who’s talking about banning bringing the IF in? It wasn’t even mentioned by me. Seeing things that aren’t even there again, because you are so hung up on guarding the 3B, and 1B lines as like a shift.
  13. Old Red
    I get the point you are trying to make, but that point just doesn’t matter to some as it does you. This year with this record is what matters to many.
  14. Old Red
    I never saw Yaz with one of those, but probably the Nerds, and Clones hand them out before each game.
  15. Old Red
    In the words of 700 he’s a ham, and egger. Look if you think bringing in Ort in that situation was the right move last night then we just disagree.
  16. Old Red
    Well said.
  17. Old Red
    There should be nothing to be found out about Ort that isn’t known already. If there is then Houston we have a bigger problem evaluating talent then we thought.
  18. Old Red
    And neither is this year.
  19. Old Red
    The shift is over. Like it, or in your case not. Stop grasping at straws like guarding the foul lines, or if the outfielders are playing shallow, or deep, or shading one way, or the other in the OF, which none of it has anything to do with an IF shift.
  20. Old Red
    You are not a paying customer, so I would go by what they say, and think over those who aren’t. Watching prospects are what the minor leagues are for. I don’t think it’s been that pleasant an experience watching tryouts at the ML level this year for the most part.
  21. Old Red
    If you can’t find better players than Duran, or Franchy then maybe the Sox better find someone who can. Yes it’s well documented many times on here about declining veterans, and injuries, but still doesn’t take away from what Bloom did, and didn’t do such as JBJ for Renfroe, and no plan at all for the backend of the BP to start the season. Also the 1B fiasco that became apparent, and Bloom did nothing until the trade deadline when Hosmer was given to him. You don’t wait to see what was offered you go out, and offer yourself. As it looks now it might not have made a difference, but you didn’t know that at the time. Once again declines, and injuries do not change the ineptness of Bloom this season.
  22. Old Red
    And bad for the PAYING customer who have every right to see the best possible product on the field. The paying customer is paying for what’s happening now, and not what might happen in the future, or the end of the 40 man roster.
  23. Old Red
    That’s why the players to me don’t deserve as much blame as Cora, and Bloom who keep them on the team, and keep playing them.
  24. Old Red
    Whitlock had 2 bad outings in a row, but he hasn’t pitched for a week now. You are 100% right that Ort should not have been in that game in that situation, and only Cora knows why it was done.
  25. Old Red
    Not true at all. Duran had trouble catching fly balls, but yet he stayed in the lineup when he should have been down in the instructional league learning how to do so. Franchy Strange Glove wasn’t a 1B, but yet he kept being put out there. JD hitting, and power has sucked for sometime now, and that is all on him, and so is it all on Raffy for what you want to call whatever he’s going through. Bogey is top 5 in hitting , and top 5 in hits in all of MLB, which doesn’t mean much to some, but it is an a accomplishment. Power numbers are down, and he went through long stretches of not doing much, and that is on him too.
