He was higher until he got to Boston.
-
You do realize the AAA season ends on Sept 28, so not much time left.
-
But the big question is now will Devers be kept??
-
Ratings, and ranks on suspects do not play on the field. Hello Jeter Downs.
-
Not in the condition that their condition was in.
-
Crying about the Vaz trade? The one where the great Valdez is hitting under the Jeter Downs line after you were raving about after a few HR. How would you know if I was griping, or not since I’m on ignore, but yet you comment on most of my post. Hiding in the bushes that you do, and letting someone else see if the coast is clear. From the Alaskan Bush People on tv to the Houston Bushman on the site. Kind of like Artie Johnson. Very Interesting, and sad, but true.

I get that, but then you just let him walk away for nothing. As it turned out, and I was all for keeping him for this last year it turned out to be a bad decision. Same with Evol. None of the guys looking for a contract next year outside of Vaz is not even having a close to standard year for them, and will lose money, because of it.
-
It’s not hurting Casas to stay down a little longer. It’s not like he tearing the league apart down in Worcester. He missed a lot of at bats, because of injury down there.
-
Once again if you were going to trade JD it should have been done last off season when he was coming off a 99 RBI year. He wasn’t worth as much at the trade deadline with the lack of production he was having.
-
To me where Bloom having a lot to do with last years success he he is also somewhat responsible for this years lack of success. I give him credit where credit is due, but some don’t want to give him blame when that is due.
-
No Bloom is not responsible for the bad, or lack of production from some of the players this year, but if your philosophy is to just let all the expiring contracts run out just doesn’t make much sense to me. Comp picks for suspects just doesn’t make sense either.
-
I’ve admitted he did a good job last year with Whitlock, Renfroe, and Kike before that, but then he started tearing it down with getting rid of a 96 RBI man, and not resigning two that you mentioned . Iggy has had a pretty good year, and Flintstone will always get you HR. Last year is over, and now we’re in last place. We could have won a WS last year, and it still wouldn’t change the fact that we are in LAST place now.
-
Was JD a bad contract? Was Bogey a bad contract? Was Evol a bad contract? Was Vaz a bad contract? Was Kike a Bad contract? Now Sale was a bad contract, but what other bad contracts was Bloom saddled with. Bloom has never had to be a miracle worker in Boston, but just a competent one.
-
Do you think just maybe that he should have started doing something before it got to the trading deadline this year? That’s why I say he’s had 3/years to work on this. Do you honestly think comp picks are going to replace these guys?
-
You are right about 1 thing. Tanking would not be accepted in Boston, and nor should it. Just throwing seasons away?Come On Man! We’ve thrown 2 away under Bloom already, and you want more?
-
The best description I heard was Bloom came to a fork in the road, so he looked for a third solution. Decision making at its best.
-
We’ve gone over this many times already, and I have already answered this. Do you think what he has done, or hasn’t done right?
-
Theo had a 100 loss team his first year, and they had 5 losing seasons in a row before they had a winning one the year before the title, so that team had to be built. I guess I should have clarified, and was talking about the Sox who had just won a title in 2018 with their best record ever, and have gone down hill since. Bloom had some pretty good talent to work with upon his arrival in Boston compared to what Theo had to work with. Theo built the Cubs up, where Bloom has brought the Red Sox down. I wouldn’t compare Bloom who hasn’t won anything to Theo who won three WS, so when I said 5 years I was talking about the Red Sox present situation.
-
Did Theo have more, or less talent to begin with?
-
Good points, and like I keep saying if you need 5 yrs of a plan you don’t know what you are doing anyway. It’s not like he’s trying to build an expansion team. I keep saying that some don’t like to hear that Bloom has had three years to work on all those expiring contracts, and outside of trading Vaz for Juan Valdez, and another prospect. How is Valdez doing at Worcester? He’s hitting worse than the Great Jeter Downs. Back to the solution of all the expiring contracts I guess is to just let them run out. Great baseball mind, or just bad computer information.
-
How about a transition team that has nowhere to go, but up.
-
It’s quite a word salad, and lots of times there are more than 1 salad in a post, because not all buy what he’s trying to cook up.
-
D 10 yr anniversary today of the AGon, CC, and Beckett trade to the Dodgers. Seems like the Dodgers always have to bail the Red Sox out.
-
There you go again labeling the bad bad Boston Red Sox fans. Noisy/bitching today. Whiners, crybabies, and shallow other days just because they don’t like their baseball team in last place in the Div, and a losing record to boot, and being rum by Bloom who most think is way in over his head, and should go back to Tampa, and get back, a Real baseball man. The Bloom Bashers as you like to call it are getting more in numbers everyday in Red Sox Nation, and will get louder, and louder much to your chagrin.
