Old Red

If you’re not planning on resigning them no.

Thanks for the warning, but I’ve been there, and done that, but their barks are worse than their bites.

I’m all for trading players you can’t sign, but it should have been done long before now. I said before that Mookie was traded one year to late. Low balling Bogey, and Raffy just before the season just set the tone for this season, and to me it’s all on Bloom. Just get rid of everyone, and change the team name from the Red Sox to the Boston Prospects, and they can play in the Gold Rush League.

If the fire sale includes Bogey, JD, or Evol is a lot different than hanging onto Workman, Hembree, and Moreland. That’s not even a logical comparison.

A fire sale should start with Bloom if the team is bad enough for a fire sale.

Some on here have been discussing this before the season even started. Are the Red Sox still charging the highest priced tickets in baseball? I noticed attendance is down, so why bother. If a so called fire sale is done as Michael Felger would say it’s all on the nerds, and clones who run the Red Sox.

Glad to see JBJ doing well. I was against the trade, but he’s always been a favorite player of mine.

The Red Sox are stuck with Sale for better, or worse until his contract is up, and deservedly so since they extended an injured player.

JBJ for t h r e e!

Even if he had pitched a perfect game tonight I would still say he’s the best option as the closer. It’s never been about his ability to start, but the fact they don’t have a reliable closer. I like the Whitlock- Houck combo though.

Good outing by Whitlock tonight.

The Red Sox have more blow saves 12 in only 20 chances, so we’ll agree that sucks, but what happened last year, or 2018 has nothing to do with this year. I agree, and do not blame not having a closer for the only reason for the losing freaking season, but once again not having a reliable closer when the Sox have had the lead, or tied in the 8th, and 9th inning has cost them games. Inconsistent hitting they have had, but inconsistent hitting did give them a lead in the late innings in games they lost, and that was on the non closer.

Just watch Franchy’s footwork around the bag, and that will tell you he’s an error waiting to happen, or won’t prevent one.

I’ve been saying that right along that Franchy is not a 1B, and Arroyo is not a RF, and that is all on Bloom. The Red Sox are 8-15 in 1, And 2 run games, and I believe are worse than that when trailing after 6. Pretty much if they don’t hit, and pile up the runs they lose. Even 6 runs last Friday night wasn’t enough.

Downs should be sent down to Portland so maybe he wouldn’t K so often. Noticed he did hit a bomb today though.

Sometimes I think the trolls know more than you do. Makes more sense too especially when it comes to Bloom. Remember stepping in puddles is not a good thing to do especially when you don’t have your boots on.

Agree 100%, and this is something for some reason that Bloom, and Cora refuse to do, or don’t know how to do it.

Moon you don’t like to hear from me, and I’m one of the talk show yappers, and it pleases me so much that it bothers you so.much.

Just pointing out that the opinions on are are not the end all be all. Has anyone figured out that no opinions have been changed, or is going to change yet?

I’m not hiding, but just stating a fact that there are lots of others like me out there in Red Sox Nation who think that Whitlock should be the closer, and if you got out to just being on here you would hear, and see that.

#1 I never said Cora was an idiot although he has made some dumb decisions like letting Arroyo bat in the ninth inning last Sat when the league leading hitter JD sat on the bench. I also never said that Whitlock would be a terrific closer, but based on what he did last year I thought he should be given the chance, and if he had I feel the Red Sox would have a better record right now, because I think he could do the job. I’ve also said in an earlier post that no one knows how good Whitlock can be, and what role he could be best at. I’ve also said many times that making Whitlock the closer has nothing to do with his ability to start, but with Barnes being a shell of his former self Whitlock would be more valuable in the pen. The fact that the Red Sox lead the league in blown saves, which is 12 blown chances out of 20 save opportunities says to me they need a closer, and yes I know all the blown saves haven’t been in the 9th inning, but they have been tied, or ahead in the 8th, and 9 inning in 8 losses. Now It’s no secret I’m not a Bloom fan, but what has Cora, and Bloom done to fix the bullpen? Shuttled Bra Man, Sour Man, and Valdez back, and fourth from Worcester. What haven’t they done is try Whitlock, or Houck at the back end of the pen.inconsistent hitting has been a problem, and errors in big situations also has hurt, but so hasn’t blowing leads when the Red Sox have had them late in games.

Did you ever listen to Eddie Andleman, or the Sports Babe?

That’s a plan.

From all the millions,and millions of Rock’s fans we thank you for the kind words.

Moon all I can say that after all this the Sea Dog Biscuit offer still stands.
