    Once again grasping at straws for a team that just made it back to 500. Kike sucked with the bat since opening day, but would have at least caught fly balls in the outfield. The circus at 1B would have still happened, and JBJ still couldn’t hit.
  2. Old Red
    Not just weaker teams, but that the weaker teams like a Seattle at the time was playing bad ball not like the Seattle team of the past month, and the Angels were going through their long losing streak., so not only bad teams, but playing bad at the time also.

    Breaking News. Paxton pulled after 2 batters in his rehab start today. Report saying lat tightness.
  4. Old Red
    Lots of good teams with lots of god talent though from 67 to 2003.
  5. Old Red
    Bye bye.
  6. Old Red
    Some fans like the process better than the results. Personally I go for the results.

    Let’s remember this team started out 10-19 completely healthy, and the only winning they have pretty much done this year was in the fantasy month of June that lots bought into against not only a weak AL West, but Seattle sucked at the time, and the Angels were going through a 15 game losing streak. Coming back to reality against the East, and the Sox sucked again, and less than two weeks ago lost 3 of 4 to KC. Not quite the exact team as last year with no 96 RBI Renfroe, and Flintstone Schwaber who helped down the stretch. The powerless bats of JD, and Bogey aren’t the same either, and no hot streak from Kike either. Injuries yes, but bad results were a bigger factor.Kike sucked before he got hurt, and Story was either or, and not to mention JBJ, and his big bat made possible by Bloom.

    500 team is kind of grasping at straws to say it’s alright to be in last place, and yesterday you couldn’t say they were a 500 team. You honestly think the Red Sox are going to win 86 or 87 games?
  9. Old Red
    Shouldn’t have to be a Last Place team in the process.
  10. Old Red
    No! I did not inadvertently defend Bloom. I’ve never questioned that Bloom doesn’t have a big allowance from JH like DD, and others have had, but what he’s done with it, or not done with it. Nice try though.
  11. Old Red
    A lot of that is old, and pre Bloom money. Let’s see what it looks like to start 2023, and if it’s a thumb up, or a thumb down.
  12. Old Red
    Well said, and like I’ve been saying this is not the same JH as in the past, so don’t try to read what he will do when it comes to spending on payroll based on what he has done in the past. The 4 titles have been great, but like I heard today if the Red Sox end up in last place in the Div , which would make it 5 times in 11 years, and that is unacceptable.
  13. Old Red
    The big three need to hit to move on. You can’t expect Dugy, and Arroyo to keep up their pace.
  14. Old Red
    9 games coming up starting Friday with Div teams ahead of the Sox. That will tell if they are a different team, or not.
  15. Old Red
    Last place in the Div, and last Wild Card spot standings update. Finally back to 500. 3 games back in the L column to get out of last place in the Div, and sitting at the Kiddie table, and 5 games back in the L column for the last Wild Card spot. Things have tightened up, but going to have to beat the Div teams starting Friday to get them tighter. 1 game at a time, and Let’s Go Sox!
  16. Old Red
    Soto will be the next young big risk.
  17. Old Red
    Bloom did do a very nice job with Whitlock that I’ll admit.
  18. Old Red
    Big ouch yes. Trout hasn’t made the Angels any better, and Washington won a WS after letting Harper leave. I’ve said many times that I’m against $300M contracts no matter who it is, but if you want to keep up with the Joneses I guess you have to do it. If will be interesting to see how Atlanta turns out with locking up their young talent.
  19. Old Red
    I know we have beaten this subject to death, and it doesn’t seem to want to go away. I think everyone has their opinions set pretty much in stone, and it isn’t going to be changed, and I’m not going to try, but on two different other venues it was said this week that the biggest mistake the Red Sox made this season was putting Whitlock in the starting rotation, and I think Eck agrees too. Once again I’m just putting this out is to show what’s out in other parts of Red Sox Nation.
  20. Old Red
    No one knows for sure what would have happened if the Sox would have offered Mookie more the first time just like no one knows what would have happened if they would have made an offer to Raffy 3 years ago. What we do know now is that Raffy’s value has gone up every year, and now it will cost a lot more to sign him. Atlanta apparently has figured this out, and Boston hasn’t.
  21. Old Red
    I agree, but now it’s way to late to do it with Raffy.
  22. Old Red
    You’re right all it takes is one to set the market higher than anyone else wants to take it, which is the only way I would see Judge leaving the Yankees.
  23. Old Red
    And Schreiber had to be brought into the game when he really needed the rest.
  24. Old Red
    Well said, and nothing less than a sweep will be a lost opportunity. Pittsburg would have fit in with the fantasy month of June opposition.
  25. Old Red
    $300M to me is not a lowball offer to anybody. Lester was a lowball offer, and what Bloom offered Bogey, and Raffy before the season was lowball.
