Ok, I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
-
You keep on talking of what Henry has done in the past, but this is not the same JH as in the past.
-
Plenty of truth, and plenty of substance, and you did have to write a whole page to do it. Well done.
-
You got two minor league players. Once again not all are prospects.
-
You sound like Bloom thinks. You seriously think that Bloom had no really good options?
-
He would have if he would have done something in the last three years, so he wouldn’t have come to that fork in the road like not having all the existing expiring contracts, or Raffy, and Bogey twisting in the wind.
-
Actual attendance is on a pace to be the lowest in the Henry era, and NESN ratings are down too, and that JH does not like.
-
That’s why looking for that third option when he came to that fork in the road was a good analogy of Bloom.
-
I agree, but I guess my way of thinking is that a team with a $200M+ payroll should never be in any kind of rebuild mode unless things aren’t run right, and bad decisions are made. Just an opinion.
-
I have heard from more than one source that Cora, and Bloom have butted heads this year. Would you be happy with Bloom if you were Cora with what Bloom has given you to work with?
-
Excellent article.
-
I actually like Bobby D, and I wished he was more like his second half of last year.
-
In all seriousness that was a mis click that I didn’t catch the 1st, or 2nd time.I wondered why you said rude.
-
Now we are back to name calling(Indecisive Bum)? Wow! Bloom, and some on here think all minor leaguers are good prospects, but they are not. Hammered yes, but that’s what he gets paid the big bucks for. The fire sale talk started on here before the season even started. I’m on the opinion as long as you are still in the post season hunt you still go for it, and not just piss the season away, and quit like some on here wanted to do, and sell off all expiring contracts. This year there is still a chance to me, and just because there is lots of money coming off the books after this year doesn’t mean 2023, and beyond will yield any kind of success like some seem to think on here. Especially with Bloom at the helm. Bloom has had 3 years to work on all this expiring contract mess, and did nothing. If the state of the Sox wasn’t so bad at the moment there wouldn’t be so much to be hammered about, but it is, and Bloom is in charge.
-
I think everyone is well aware that JH doesn’t give Bloom much of an allowance, but the same mentioned plan of Booby D, and Casas wasn’t the problem, but it was not fixing it when it didn’t work out.
-
Chris Gasper.
-
Brisket Gasper described Bloom best yesterday when it came to the trade deadline. Bloom is like a guy who came to a fork in the road (buy, or sell), and couldn’t decide which one to do, so he looked for a 3rd option. In other words not very decisive, and not the kind of guy you would want as your Chief of Baseball Opps running the Red Sox. If the glove fits you must convict.
-
I love it when a plan comes together. Just for clarification.
-
Bingo!
-
If it makes you feel better we’ll go with your story. Oh yea I remember now Bloom said he was in discussions with other teams about Vic Wertz, or was it Pete Runnels, or was it Dick Stuart? No I remember now it was George Scott. You were right all along.
-
Where does it say he was? I heard an interview.
-
How much you willing to pay him, and Correa?
-
Like MF says that the Nerds, and clones run the Red Sox.
-
Aren’t they one of the same?
-
I think you are just over analyzing this, and they just made Dugy the full time LF, and didn’t want to move him, and not , because he couldn’t play CF, or RF. It’s not that big a deal to anyone else.
