Didn’t Farrell have a last place finish on his resume?
-
I agree with you they should resign Bogey, and Raffy.
-
I just like to see how they justify all these moves, and I give them A for effort, but nothing else.
-
You don’t have to win a Championship every year, but you shouldn’t have as many last place finishes in those years either. Not with the payroll the Red Sox have.
-
Do you think the way the team played in June had anything, or everything to do with playing the bad AL West? I do, and wasn’t the Angels going through a 15 game losing streak at the time, and Seattle was not the team they are today either.
-
At least you admitted there are excuse makers, but maybe it’s the excuses that could be classified as annoying.
-
59 was one of the ones that didn’t think Renfroe, was good enough, or worth another contract in Boston. Maybe he could go work as one of Bloom’s assistants.
-
So the Red Sox were a AAA team to start 10-19? You can only take the injury thing just so far, before it gets not credible.
-
The amazing part is that the excuse makers on here think they are the ones who are in the majority, and like I’ve said many times this forum is a very small percentage of opinions of what’s out there in the rest of Red Sox Nation.
-
It’s just not Bloom who gets protected on here, but Cora, and JH as well. In the mean time the Red Sox are a 3 ring circus residing in last place, and all the excuses in the world will not change that.
-
Oh please! Blaming the start of the season on Chris Frail. The biggest problem was the Sox didn’t have a closer, and lost all those early games because of it, and that had nothing to do with Frail. Good try! but kind of a weak effort.

Lots of posters on here did also. Be careful what you wished for. -
Rest In Peace Big Bill the biggest winner in NBA history. From college to the Olympics to the NBA no one had a portfolio like his, and never will.

Way to go Renfroe. Stick it to Bloom, and all on here who didn’t think he was good enough, or worth a $6-7M contract to play in Boston. Priceless. -
Sounds like you need the cheese to go with your whine. Yes the Red Sox have won 4 WS under JH ownerships, but have they had just as many last place finishes? The Red Sox come out of the gate 10-19 before the injuries started to hit, and have for the most part only beaten bad teams even when healthy, so what kind of cheese do you like?
-
That’s the way the game is played. Moon wanted to give Mookie a 14 yr contract. How many of those 14 years do you think he would be worth what he has gotten paid. How many years has Trout been worth it? Judge is going to get a big long term contract, and he won’t be worth it every year, and neither will Soto. Either play the game, or not.
-
Nothing wrong with the contracts of JD, and Evol. Both have produced in Boston. Price would have never been thought of in Boston if Lester would have been signed like he should have, and Sales signing was one of the dumbest of all time for the Sox to give an extension to someone who was hurt, and TJ on the horizon.

I am all for having good farm system. Going back to 1967 to the 2018 team most of the real good Red Sox teams have had plenty of home grown talent on it, so I’m all for that, but my main focus is on the Major League club, and like I have said many times I could care less about the ranking of the farm system, or anyone in it until they put on a Red Sox uniform, and produce, or are trade for someone who does. I could care less about the 40 roster, and I think just the average fan does also. To me a team like the Red Sox in a big market with a $200M+ payroll should not have any fire sales, or bridge years, or anything else you want to call it. You don’t have to win every year, but there shouldn’t be any last place finishes like the Sox have had plenty of to go with their 4 championships.
-
I never wanted Duran as a starter. I was all for giving him a chance this year, but I have seen enough. No baseball instincts.
-
Why, Why, Why Nancy Kerrigan? I don’t get the trust, and admiration he gets from some on here, and has gotten since his hire.
-
How many outfield fly balls weren’t caught, or even touched, and the same for infield pop ups? Little league ball at its best. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Major League club having such difficulties doing such a normal function of the game.
-
Or a team with no wins by a starting pitcher. What pct was 10-19?
-
They are not going to trade Bogey, because he has a no trade, which he will exercise, and it’s been that way since before opening day, but yet some on here go on, and on about he should be traded.What part of NO TRADE don’t people understand?
-
I’ll give you the injury excuse to a small extent, but that’s all. The only time the Red Sox have played well this year was going against the weak AL west who were even weaker when the Sox played them Seattle was not as good then as they are now, and the Angels were on a 15 game losing streak. The Red Sox came out of the gate going 10-19, and they were healthy then, so don’t blame the whole season on the injury excuse. That is the truth.
-
I understand the being patient mode, but I don’t agree with being patient not with a payroll of $200M+. Having the Bogey, and Raffy contract situations hanging since before the season even started, and all these expiring contracts were a man made mess, which made this season turn into a bigger mess, and that to me is all on Bloom. His record is what it is, and all the excuse people will try, but it’s nots going to change that. I trust Bloom to know what he doing? NO!, and He’ll no!
