    Like I keep saying a ring in 2021 would not make it right to be a losing last place in the division team in 2022.
  2. Old Red
    But when the WL record isn’t good the defense team has to go to something else to try to make things out to be better than they really are.

    Ah those bad, bad Bloom-Bashers. I know your all exited about this new catching tandem, but they are just two backups to me. Just, because we have them under control for a number of years doesn’t mean they are that good. WL record is all that matters. You always try to make it the hits will offset the misses, but only works if that results in a winning team no matter what league, or division the Red Sox might play in. Works for some, but not for others.

    And not signed Schwarber?

    Over exaggerated again, because I never said Bloom was a Bum. I was talking more about patting on the back more for the losing record, and last place in the division finish that was costing $200+M. True that DD signed Sale, JD, and Evol, but Bloom has had 3 years to work on something, so that all these expiring contracts didn’t come due at once, and that includes Bogey, and yet they pretty much are just going to run out, and not getting much back to show for it.Not very creative, or ingenious to me.

    Ah the old blame DD. Of course Bloom hasn’t done much in his 3 yrs on the job to rectify the situation except trading Mookie. Now I guess the big plan is to let some of the expiring contracts just run out. Ingenious!
  8. Old Red
    Well done, and don’t forget that Bloom is still looking for that third option at the fork in the road. Stay tuned to see if he finds it.

    8-10-18 8 games under 500 10th place in the league 18th place overall JH should be pissed that this is what he’s paying $200M+ for. Think he’s patting Bloom on the back, and saying a job well done?

    I saw all I wanted to see. Bello has lots of promise, but I think he needs more consistency before he can be counted on as a top of a rotation starter.
  11. Old Red
    Turned it off after Bello left.
  12. Old Red
    Day dreaming.
  13. Old Red
    You worry about it then, because I’m not. I’m for locking up Bogey, and Raffy, and then going out, and sign Judge, and the Trumpet Man closer from the Mets. If the Red Sox are going to charge those high ticket prices make it worth going to Fenway to watch unlike this year. Let’s go!
  14. Old Red
    San Diego’s does.
  15. Old Red
    If SD signs Soto long term with their other 2 huge contracts what’s another $16M for Snell?
  16. Old Red
    Just one of many tough calls that have to be made this off season.
  17. Old Red
    Agree, and we know the biggest question with Arroyo is him staying on the field. If he could that would save lots of money to spend in other areas.
  18. Old Red
    Many don’t want to mess that up are not Cora, and Bloom, and like I said before don’t count out Arroyo as a plan at 2B, which would even save more money.
  19. Old Red
    Why is everyone just assuming that Story isn’t the SS next year? Nothing has been said from Cora, or Bloom. Story at SS, and Arroyo at 2B would not surprise me at all. It’s not what I would want to see, but it wouldn’t surprise me that would be the plan going into next season if Bogey goes bye, bye.
  20. Old Red
    The best part about Pivetta is he was available to take the the mound when it was his turn. That in itself should be worth something especially after what has happened this year.
  21. Old Red
    It officially over! Any hopes of the Red Sox to get get back to 500 were dashed last night with their 14th loss off the season to the Jays. They will finish the 2022 season as a LOSING team. They lost on opening day, and the last time this team was above 500 was Aug 2, so they will end up not only as a losing team, but last place in the Div as well. Sitting at the kiddie table should be embarrassing, and is. On paper this was not bad a team, but you don’t play this game on paper. Injuries, and some key players not playing up to expectations were a big reason this team is where they are at, and there is plenty of blame to go around from top to bottom, and that is management, and players alike, so on to the off season, which should be something to watch, and then on to 2023. This off season will be a big test to see how good Bloom is, or not. I’m going with the not.

    It’s nice of Duran to show up tonight when the games for all content, and purposes don’t mean anything, but couldn’t show up last time the Red Sox were in Toronto when the games did. They should have left him home.
  23. Old Red
    Well received.
  24. Old Red
    I’m really not trying to bust your balls, but just wondering if you had an inside connection.
  25. Old Red
    I have never said an eye test alone can lead to a solid opinion. I have just said the eye test is good enough for me. I had heard that Duran was not a good OF, but last year I didn’t see that in the games I watched, but I sure saw it this year, so I realize that stats too can tell you more of a story. I don’t question that.
