    Bloom has been trying to piece together a 1B for 2 years with parts that weren’t made for a 1B.
  2. Old Red
    He just left stage right.
  3. Old Red
    Downs looks like he has a pretty good stroke. He had been pounding out the HR before he was called up.
  4. Old Red
    It’s not they way I saw it. You used your own eye test. Two completely different test. Mine works yours obviously doesn’t.
  5. Old Red
    Sale vs Cole on Sunday? They are both pitching tonight.
  6. Old Red
    Love that small ball.
  7. Old Red
    JD was in the original lineup, but is out with soreness from I guess running around the bases.

    Tell the whole story that it’s not just the use of the old standard BA, RBI, and HR, but digging deeper to see what they really mean like Schwarber, and his 28 HR would probably have more RBI if he batted down lower in the order, and same with Mookie, so there is more to it than just scratching the surface, and no it’s not only my stats matter, but that I don’t need all your stats to know what’s going on that for some reason is something you don’t like, or understand. It’s NOT, or has anything to do with not liking all the stats that you do,so I don’t know where you got the idea i don’t like them. I just don’t need them. Nothing wrong with how I do it, and nothing wrong with how you do it. I do use OBP though.

    Nothing to do with vision problems, but the need for analytics to know what’s going on. 20-20 vision is no good if you don’t use it.
  10. Old Red
    Raffy still out tonight.
  11. Old Red
    True Blue, and I don’t blame Arroyo either when he tries to play RF. All on Bloom to me.
  12. Old Red
    Your eyes must not be very good to need all kinds of stats to know what’s going on.

    I’m not agreeing with you that Cora is a IDIOT, nor have I called him one. Moon said I hated Cora, and that wasn’t true either, so on both counts FAKE NEWS. You two are quite a twosome making stuff up.
  14. Old Red
    My mistake. Call Bloom and tell him to make the trade. I’m in.
  15. Old Red
    If any stats out there show Franchy is a good to adequate 1B then I think you need some new stats. You sure you’re not seeing visions of George Scott playing 1B when you are watch Franchy? The good ole eye test still shows true.
  16. Old Red
    How about one who can catch the dam ball.
  17. Old Red
    Well we’ll have to disagree that 1B isn’t a big need on this club. The pitching hopefully just needs to get healthy, but the only cure to fix 1B is to get a good 1B.
  18. Old Red
    You’ve given the same speel about Whitlock many times over, which we disagree on. Everyone has to start somewhere to be a closer rather it’s Pap, or Barnes, or Eck, or Smoltz just to name a few not named Houck. Whitlock would not have been in the rotation if Frail hadn’t gotten hurt, and only then when Houck wasn’t vaxed the first trip into Toronto. Once again your exaggerated account by saying Whitlock being the closer from day 1 would have turned the season around, because no one said that, but I still say the Red Sox would have more wins from blowing those late leads early in the season.
  19. Old Red
    Never said Cora invented either, and the biggest thing I blame Cora for was to figure out the backend of the BP well before game 50+, or so.
  20. Old Red
    It’s not a question of who’s the best hitter, but that Rizzo is a good 1B, which Franchy Strange Glove, and Bobby Strange Glove are not, and that is a big need of the Red Sox at the moment.
  21. Old Red
    Two bad inventions. Openers, and piggybackers.
  22. Old Red
    Rizzo is not only a real 1B, but a good one at that. I think the Yankees swooped in, and took Rizzo right out from underneath Bloom’s nose, and he took Schwarber who was leftover.
  23. Old Red
    I agree, but I don’t think JH does, and he has a tighter grip on his wallet than he used to. Bloom wasn’t brought to Boston to play Let’s Make A Deal.
  24. Old Red
    As you know my biggest complaint about Cora was to not make Whitlock the closer on day 1, and I’ll still contend that the Red Sox would have a better record if they did. I’m still not sold on Houck as the closer now, but I think he’s their best option at the moment, but it took Cora way to long to make it happen. Using Franchy Strange Glove at 1B, and Arroyo in RF I blame Bloom more for that, but Cora gets some blame as well. Outside of that with all the injuries they have had to the starting staff I think he has done a decent job to get them in postseason contention at the moment. If they make it good job, but if not to much time was spent figuring out the backend of the bullpen.
  25. Old Red
    Not anticipated by me. Sale may be better than the Worcester rotation, but I think his best days are behind him like early 2018.
