    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.

    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.
  4. Old Red
    Well received.
  5. Old Red
    I’m really not trying to bust your balls, but just wondering if you had an inside connection.
  6. 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.

    Reset, cliff, go all in, and no rebuild either.
  8. Old Red
    Ancient history.
  9. Old Red
    It’s just your speel, and nothing more, or less than that. I’m not saying your wrong, and I’m not saying your right, but if that was what was going on, or has in the past I’d just like to hear it from someone official.
  10. Old Red
    I am not arguing that example at all, and I said that may be an example of being wrong, and I’m just talking about in general that the eye test is good enough for me that you have commented on many times.
  11. Old Red
    Boston certainly aren’t putting their best team on the field tonight, which I think they should do with Toronto still fighting with other teams for playoff positioning. Putting Duran Duran the Butterfly Man in the lineup is not doing that at all. Just the opposite.
  12. Old Red
    I never hear Bloom, Kennedy, or JH talk about any of this stuff like reset, go all in, cliffs, or rebuild.
  13. Old Red
    That may be an example, but everyone sees, and interprets things differently. Another set of eyes might have told you something else. All I know is that for me the eye test is good enough, and every one else can do what, and how they want to do it. I don’t need a lot of technical stuff to know what’s going on.
  14. Old Red
    Time, and money will tell if I’m wrong , or not, and nothing else.
  15. Old Red
    I don’t think there is Any Trust in Red Sox brass especially Bloom. The players will stick together, so the bad clubhouse is against Bloom.
  16. Old Red
    Who said nobody will want to play here? I know clubhouse chemistry doesn’t matter to you, and it doesn’t show up on a analytics sheet, but ask the players in the clubhouse if it matters, or not.
  17. Old Red
    This is fine, but it’s also ancient history, and this is a whole new day, and time, and like I keep saying this is now a different JH.
  18. Old Red
    So like I asked what would tell you more about this season the eye test, or analytics? The eye test has told me all I want to know about this season, and has worked fine for me, but if you need more examples then that’s fine too. Imagine without the eye test you wouldn’t have seen Dr Strange Glove play 1B, or Duran try to catch butterflies in the OF. The eye test in fine, and well.
  19. Old Red
    So you really think the so called rancor as you call it towards Bloom would drive players off especially Bogey from wanting to stay in Boston? They like playing in Boston, in Fenway, and in front of the Nation. They certainly aren’t playing for Bloom.
  20. Old Red
    No, and neither was you, so both are giving opinions on what we heard.
  21. Old Red
    Who has said they want to bring back The Same Exact Team?
  22. Old Red
    His eye test maybe, but mine is perfectly fine. Doesn’t everyone see things differently? What do you think would have told you more about how this season went the eye test, or analytics?
  23. Old Red
    Supposed clubhouse rancor? Oh it was real, and all directed at Bloom, so I think the fact that hill wants to come back has all do do with playing in Boston despite his lack of trust, and feelings towards Bloom, and the same would go with Bogey, or anyone else.
  24. Old Red
    The eye test has told you enough that you want to know. If you need the exact figures that’s another story, but I don’t think anything been shattered. Has the eye test not told you enough about this season? I think it has, and then some. You will never get rid of the eye test no matter how many kind of stats you come up with.
  25. Old Red
    Didn’t they find that out with Mookie? Get rid of the best players, and then you have to replace them with someone just as good just to stay even, and that will most likely be costly too, and then to run into the variable of playing in Boston that not everyone can do.
