I’m out on many different venues, and only on here do I hear any kind of praise for Bloom. Johnny from Burger King, the water cooler, and the gym are festering with Disdain for Bloom. They all can’t be wrong.
-
So what you are saying is the Red Sox can’t beat the good teams, and only can beat the bad teams, who was also playing bad like the fantasy month of June, and Seattle, and the Angels were two examples. I agree then.
-
Like I said before that not all minor leaguers are prospects, and I think Bloom just likes to get as many as he can, and hopes one turns out to be something good.
-
You could can Cora, but I think Bloom is making some of the decisions like putting Whitlock in the rotation, and for keeping Franchy, and Duran around so long. Bloom , and Cora have been at odds this season according to sources, and it’s very understood why.
-
Another Bloom gem. Bloom thinks getting prospects back as some do on here was a success. Not all minor leaguers are prospects. Lots of minor leaguers are just that minor leaguers, and that’s the bottom line.
-
The one I heard this morning is that when puts down #1 for a fastball are we sure it’s his finger.
-
The word on the street is, because there is two months left in the season.
-
Can anybody show any publication that praises Bloom for his trade deadline deals, or his job in general since he’s been in Boston?
-
There is no doubt there is plenty of underperforming to go around with all the injuries that have added up to the perfect storm. Vaz was one of the few who was actually performing. Hosmer is a upgrade from Franchy, and Bobby D, and it only took Bloom 100 games to do something.
-
The key word here is future HOPE, and this is from someone who preached 1 game at a time, and gave daily wildcard updates during the FANTASY month of June. Hope doesn’t always lead to success.
-
I agree, but the big question to me is why should a team with a $200M payroll be in last place.
-
That was the same excuse used for JBJ’s bad season last year after Bloom made the trade this year for him. Yea that was the reason.
-
Why don’t you ask him the same thing, and you bet I do.
-
Game. Set. Match.
-
As usual you didn’t finish the sentence about prospects being useless, and you’ve done it more than once. Say the whole sentence like it has been said many times. Prospects/suspects are useless until they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does. Just saying part of it like you do is not the whole meaning, and that’s what you want, and need to fit your opinions, or maybe you just don’t comprehend the meaning.
-
MoonSlop is right, and everyone who disagrees with him is wrong, or doesn’t get the point, or has comprehension issues. You should know that by now. He’s like the Great Oz. Pull the curtain back, and he’s nowhere’s near what he actually thinks he is.
-
But now doesn’t play ANY games at Coors. Fenway is not Coors.
-
Wow! I’ll admit that is one way to look at things.
-
moonslop 101.
-
I’ve heard that one before. Someone is always missing your point.
-
You got it.
-
Not to mention that Vaz had many big clutch hits on his resume.
-
Have to call in a real expert.
-
Counter point is that now Story now plays all his games away from Coors, and I already knew what you were getting at. You fooled no one. Plus the fact that this was already brought up a few months ago, so not very original.
-
I’m no expert, but the word on the street is that batted balls travel farther, and breaking balls break less, because of the high altitude. Of course that doesn’t explain why Story has had such a hard time hitting good fastballs this year.
