    Duran hasn’t pitched in more than 1 inning since Jul 16th like 16 appearances ago, which was before they picked up Lopez to close. No one was saying to trade for Lopez, but just to have a reliable closer, and 2 good setup men. God forbid if we had to give up a top 10 suspect from the farm to get something.
  2. Old Red
    They have been playing this since day 1, and yes it’s on the manager. He has to do more than just keep saying we have to play better, which he’s done 100 times already this year.
  3. Old Red
    I’d be more excited if we had someone other than Bloom to deal with the flexibility, and resources. Did Kennedy sound like a bad politician?
  4. Old Red
    I hope Bloom saw the game last night, and the backend of the Twins BP. A setup man in the 7th, a setup man in the 8th, and a actual closer in the 9th. To. Me that’s the way to do it. Guys who throw 1 inning at a time, and 98-103. Wow! Hey it’s nice to be able to throw 2 innings at a time but the Twins way to me is the best way.
  5. Old Red
    Wow! How low can this team go? 5 games under 500 7 games back in the L column for last place 9 games back in the L column for last wild card spot
  6. Old Red
    Or looked at the standings?
  7. Old Red
    Billy Martin sure would have.
  8. Old Red
    Raffy with his head up his ass. This team is brain dead sometimes.
  9. Old Red
    Bad it was, and we’ll find out later if it is costly.

    Arroyo in lineup tonight at 1B. Member last time he made 1 stretch, and pulled a muscle. Glad to se Cora keep his bat in the lineup, which it should be. Franchy in CF, and don’t like that.
  11. Old Red
    Ok we disagree on Franchy. You can give him more of a chance, but I don’t see Cora benching someone to give him a chance to do so.
  12. Old Red
    That’s what I mean that to much hope is being placed on the Farm system, because they have better rankings.
  13. Old Red
    Duran, and Franchy had plenty of chances when the Red Sox were still in it, and neither showed very well. Playing them now just to run out the string will not show you the same thing. To keep playing Kike to see if he’s back to his so called norm wouldn’t show a thing to what he would do next year, and same with Pham. Both Kike, and Pham have played long enough to know what they bring, and what they don’t bring. Calling up Wong is fine, but only if he is in the plans for next year.
  14. Old Red
    I’m not disagreeing, but I just don’t see Cora doing it. You
  15. Old Red
    This year more than likely.
  16. Old Red
    You keep saying the same things over, and over, and over, and if you haven’t convinced anyone yet you are not going to. NO One has said that Bloom should have seen the decline in all the vets this year. NO One, but in hindsight trading JD coming off a 99 RBI season, which I was against might have been the best thing. In my opinion to much hope, and speculation is being put on the better farm rankings to make the team better. If Casas for example doesn’t come close to all the great speculations, and expectations then when, and where is the next Mookie, Raffy, or Bogey coming from?
  17. Old Red
    But where? Pham, and Kike might not be in future plans, but I can’t see Cora sitting them.
  18. Old Red
    I guess all the bashing, and support Bloom has gotten on here doesn’t matter in the long run. It only matters what JH thinks.
  19. Old Red
    I just don’t see Franchy getting a look when Hosmer is back. That’s why Franchy was sent back down.
  20. Old Red
    Cordero, and Downs are suspects, and nothing more. AAA for Franchy, and AA for Downs.
  21. Old Red
    No one is forgetting 2021, but this is 2022, and even if they had won it all last year it would not justify the mess of this year, nor should it. Come on man!
  22. Old Red
    That’s the way it works. The one who wears the Hoodie with the Pats has won more than anyone, and he’s getting all kinds of blame now.
  23. Old Red
    That’s what exploded his elbow.
  24. Old Red
    Ok we’ll go with your short, short sample size, so I won’t be a downer, and just forget all his other at bats. You can have him, but I’ve seen enough of him, and Duran.
  25. Old Red
    If Hosmer wasn’t hurt he wouldn’t even be up now. He’s also the same guy that K’d like 15 straight times.
