    They already have been doing that with Franchy Strange Glove, and Duran the Butterfly Man
  2. Old Red
    8 games back in the all important L column, but yes it is over, and has been pretty much since the trade deadline.
  3. Old Red
    You can add Whitlock to this bunch too, but that doesn’t offset all the trash Bloom has collected. Seen the standings lately?
  4. Old Red
    Maybe the American Pickers can find Bloom something along the way
  5. Old Red
    Per Alex Speier the Red Sox have given up 320 runs since the beginning of July. This is the result of what Bloom has assembled.This is just not dumpster diving, but some that had already been dumped out.

    Guys that stick like throwing spaghetti against the wall? Bloom’s been doing that for 2 years now.

    Yes I know, but the small sample size example. Could he do this all year? I want someone if needed that could pitch 3 out of 4 days. One inning saves with an occasional 4 out save is the ideal closer. Then you need a couple of set up guys, and a couple of long relief.

    Who’s pretending that Kelly, and Ort are permanent additions? I’ve seen enough of Ort if it’s only for 1 day. As 700 would say a ham, and egger.

    The Red Sox have a lot better chance going 2-12 than they do going 12-2. Come on man!
  10. Old Red
    I’m all for the move, but are you any better with Ort?
  11. Old Red
    The closer is still the closer, and I think having a good one is more important than most. I know the Red Sox tried to get through the postseason last year without one, but really how many good teams do you see without a good closer? When I said to label the rest of the BP anyway you want I was referring to the setup 6,7, and 8 innings guy. I know it’s good that Whitlock can go more than 1 inning, but then you loose him for another 2-3 days, which doesn’t make sense to me. I haven’t heard Cora use relief aces, so I’ll just keep the setup guys to describe them.
  12. Old Red
    Bringing Ort back up is just another example that Bloom has no idea what he’s doing, and hasn’t all year with the BP. Might as well bring Hansel back.
  13. Old Red
    I agree 100% that to go into next season counting on Schreiber to duplicate this year, and to count on Houck as the full time closer would be a mistake. I trust Whitlock more than either one of them, and even then you don’t know if he could close either. I think getting a reliable closer would be the best way to go. Label them anyway you want, but to me they are just part of the BP.

    Anther great 2-4 home stand against the Div Standings update. 4 games under 500. 6 games back in the L column for last place in the Div. 8 games back in the L column for the last Wild Card spot.
  15. Old Red
    Well done.
  16. Old Red
    Pivetta said on his post game interview that he hasn’t shown up against div opponents this year. Nobody else has either.
  17. Old Red
    That booth has gone down hill since Orsillo left, and without the REM Dog pretty much 2nd, or 3rd rate. kind of like the the team.
  18. Old Red
    Sounds like a house cleaning to me.
  19. Old Red
    Looks like a 2-4 home stand, which will sink you lower in the standings let alone moving up any.
  20. Old Red
    The Green Monster is taking a beating today.
  21. Old Red
    Like I said Arroyo has to stay in the lineup somewhere. Maybe DH?
  22. Old Red
    I know Schreiber has been good this year, but I Don’t know if you can count on him to do the same thing next year.
  23. Old Red
    I’m going for the Monsta reliever named after my favorite Dick Radtz who did everything if only for a short time.
  24. Old Red
    I agree 100% with this, but the key is getting a true closer first, and I don’t see the Red Sox going out, and spending much money to do so.
  25. Old Red
    Ok. No problem now that I know.
