Okay so their both minor league teams. One bad game, and one good game, but at this point I wouldn’t judge who the catcher was to determine the outcome.
-
Just going with the flow, and agreeing with the masses.
-
Well I’ve had lots of conversations with people about Bloom , and some have agreed with me, and some have disagreed with me, but no one used the words Dummy, or border line incompetent, and of course I’ve heard Bloom discussed many times on the airwaves too, and still no Dummy Border Line incompetent words to describe Bloom, but like I said I’ll go with the group, and use your words, and go with Dummy Border Line Incompetent Spaghetti Man.

I think the Yankees are a lot better team this year then they were last year. -
The Way Too Early Tear Down Thread
Old Red replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Finally after today the Red Sox will get to play against a winning team. What’s it been like 8 series in a row against losing teams with 4 of them against last place teams since they played against a winning team. It’s been nice to rack up all these wins, but for me it’s been really hard to get into these games against such bad competition especially for so long a time. I know in early July the Sox play 14 games straight against NY, and Tampa with a 3 game with Toronto at the end. So come the end of July we’ll see if this is a real playoff team, or one where some will get their wish, and see a big fire sale. Just the prospect of getting more prospects have had some salivating for some time now. -
Great point? Of course it doesn’t matter that the A’s are nothing more than a minor league team in major league uniforms., so not so great a point.

Only on here would someone make the leap from over your head to border line incompetence, and being a dummy. Quite hilarious. Must be why I haven’t voted, because being borderline incompetent,and being a dummy wasn’t one of the options. Of course this isn’t the first time someone made a similar leap on hear is it? When I had made the comment that I wouldn’t have hired Cora back, because of the cheating scandal someone made the leap that I Hated Cora. They later apologized, but here is the thing. I’ve decided not no fight the establishment anymore, and just go with the flow, so from now on when I refer to Bloom I’ll call him the Dummy Border Line Incompetent Spaghetti Man. Thanks for the tips, and as always Have A Good Day.

He hasn’t played 2B since 2017, which I didn’t know he was, but seems to be a pretty good OF now.

Once again border line incompetents are your words, and not mine. So to say I am on record saying that is 100% false. The big three of Jd, Bogey, and Raffy being carryovers from the 2018 team, and Mookie no longer on the team to start the 2021 season had NOTHING to do with what was being discussed at the time. Once again Dummy Bloom your words, and not mine, and his additions prior to the 2021 season had nothing to do with what was being discussed either. You got nothing right on what was being discussed at all. If I actually thought Cora, and Bloom were borderline incompetents, or that Bloom was a Dummy I would have no problem saying it. Saying Bloom is in over is head in Boston is what I believe, so if you want to call it being a dummy, and incompetents then you do that, and that’s the bottom line.

#1 Refsnyder is an OF, and Arroyo is not. If Refsnyder does well I would say it was not over managing, buy Arroyo wasn’t doing well, so just to get a RHH in there is over managing.Especially when they are hitting worse than who he is replacing.
-
Once again this point had nothing to do with Bloom, nor what happened during , or after the 2021 season. Once again the discussion had nothing to do with Bloom, but about Cora getting the team last year into the post season. My point was the predictions for last years team to start the season was underrated on here, and that my opinion was starting last season I thought they would be better than most other people thought. How you got off on all this other stuff would be a whole separate discussion.
-
NOBODY was even comparing 2021 with 2019. All I said , or getting at that was starting a season with Bogey, Raffy, JD, Dugy, and Vaz plus ERod starting the season plus the good Barnes was there was not a lack of talent, and shouldn’t have been thought of as a losing team going into 2021 just, because of the 2020 team. Wasn’t even counting any the the additions that Bloom added to the roster that off season. The point had nothing to do with Bloom at all.
-
That’s why I said that this L-R thing is sometimes overrated, and unnecessary, so you weaken your D with Arroyo, and pretty much weaken your offense too, because Arroyo wasn’t hitting any better than JBJ. Just over managing to me.
-
No I’m just saying there was lots of talent on the team to start the 2021 season, and at least would be a winning team. I just throw the 2020 season out the window like it never happened. 2020 did not carry into 2021 just like 2018 didn’t carry over into 2019. I didn’t know if last years team would make the PS, but I at least thought they would be a 82-80 team in other words a winning one.
-
I keep hearing that last years team wasn’t supposed to be very good. Why, because of 2020? There was to much talent on last years team to start the season to think they wasn’t going to be very good plus Sale, and ERod were coming back, and JD got his binky IPad back so he could hit again. Cora didn’t take a bunch of nobodies, and turned them into a playoff team.
-
I was a T Ball scout. Does that count? Just, because you know more doesn’t mean you automatically make better decisions.
-
Just, because you sit in the big chair doesn’t necessarily mean you know more than those who don’t.
-
Trial, and error was one thing, but both Barnes, and Robles wasn’t working early on, and to much time was wasted playing iney,meany, miney, mo.
-
L-R matchups are not always necessary, or work as in the Arroyo move who wasn’t an OF, and wasn’t hitting.
-
Let’s remember too on how long it has taken Cora to address the backend of the BP, and give Houck at shot at closer. I guess he figured piggybacking was more important.
-
I like YS for his glove first, but yes Fitzy would be an option too.
-
They have YS down at Worcester if they needed someone as a backup IF.
-
Duran up for Arroyo, who is in Covid protocols.
-
At the moment Refsnyder looks like a capable option as a backup RHH OF. I know it’s a small sample size, but I believe a better option than Arroyo, but if he sticks when Kike comes back is another question. I know he hasn’t hit much in the past, but Arroyo isn’t hitting either.

There you go with that idiot word again that only you use for Spaghetti Man Bloom.
