    I told you they didn’t get it, and they still don’t. Bregman was plan A, and Alonso was the first choice to along with plan A. The Red Sox got neither, and went to cheaper options. It’s really not that difficult to understand?

    PP will be made up as a DN doubleheader on July 17th.
  3. Old Red
    As usual good points, which I doubt they will get again.
  4. Old Red
    Fred they just don’t get your point. Even though you’ve explained it many times on why you say JH is cheap It just goes right over their heads. As I said before if you say JH is cheap 1000 times one of them will come back, and say 1000 back is not, is not, is not.They not only don’t get your point, but it’s a point well taken.😉

    And does this all say it adds up to being 25th in the league in runs scored while being 27th in HR? If it doesn’t it doesn’t tell much of a story!🤔
  6. Old Red
    To the wayside of what have you done for me lately.🤭
  7. Old Red
    I don’t think comparing Alonso to the Con Man is the same as comparing Story to Gwynn.
  8. Old Red
    If, if if. Well the flops bats aren’t hitting their career numbers, and that’s why the Red Sox are 25th in runs scored, which is a Big reason they are 5 games under 500, and have been worse than that most of the time.

    HR puts runs on the board in the moment. Con Man is pretty slick around the bag for only playing there one year though. Alonso has put up better power numbers than the Con Man all through out their careers. Since 2019 when Alonso came into MLB Alonso has hit 264 HR to the Con Man’s 127. 712 RBI for Alonso, and 385 for the Con Man. Not even close. You can have any OPS, or just OBP, and I’ll take the other stats anytime.

    The Great Gasper catching today.
  11. Old Red
    It wasn’t much of a bid, but they did lose out on Alonso who might have been plan B to Bregman being plan A.
  12. Old Red
    I don’t care about OPS. Don’t look now, but Alonso has caught the Con Man in HR with 8, and is now only 1 RBI behind him. As I said before the season if healthy Alonso will hit more HR, and have more RBI than the con Man. Remember also the Red Sox went after Alonso first, and then turned to the Con Man.

    Bottom line this may be the weakest I have ever seen the league. 18 out of the 30 teams have a losing record. All the teams in the wildcard hunt have a losing record except for 1 team. The Red Sox at 17-22 in a league this weak makes the Red Sox really look worse than they really are. They may be in postseason contention, but this team is far from a playoff team. 27th in HR, and 25th in runs scored. I’ve been saying for a few years now that this was a watered down league. Can’t say that anymore now, because it’s under water.

    Is JH the same guy today in all facets of the Red Sox operation as he was when he bought the Red Sox, and the Red Sox won those Championships, or even going back to 2018? You have thrown out the be careful what you wish for comment many times, and I think if a vote went out today in all of RSN it would be overwhelmingly be just like the plane that circled Fenway for an hour to sell IMO. That would be the wish.

    Once again Casas was the planned 1B, and I don’t think the Red Sox brass at the time saw Raffy’s D at 3B as a big problem like you, and others did thus Bloom telling Raffy he be the 3B for the foreseeable future.
  16. Old Red
    I don’t know what the vibes in the clubhouse, and dugout are since Chad took over, but outside of Masa being odd man out when everyone is healthy i don’t see much difference in how things are done.
  17. Old Red
    And they counted Sac Flys as an AB back in those days like the 406 season.
  18. Old Red
    When his production numbers get better I’ll gladly give him an attaboy.👏
  19. Old Red
    So all the hype, and expectations thrown Anthony’s way was for his OBP?
  20. Old Red
    Will do.
  21. Old Red
    Except for BA, HR, and RBI, which is what counts on the scoreboard. The nerd geeky stuff doesn’t.
  22. Old Red
    Since when? He’s bragged about doing it.
  23. Old Red
    I agree pretty much with this except for the last line. I have heard lots of fans outside of here say it’s hard to root for the Red Sox, but root against JH, and Brez at the same time.
  24. Old Red
    Must be hard to hit a HR too?
  25. Old Red
    Agree on Con Man who has also been pretty smooth around the bag at 1B. Let’s not leave out like many on here the Red SOX were counting on a major contribution from little Anthony, which certainly hasn’t happened yet. 1 HR, and 4 RBI, and a gift of another one has been largely disappointing not to mention his injury problems already.
