8/14 NYY vs Red Sox at Fenway 7:10 EDT/4:10PDT
Old Red replied to vegasbob's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
3 good for the most part well played games against the Yankees, and not 4-5 hrs either. Well pitched, but now the offense has to pick it up. -
A nice save by Whitlock last, which to me is the way it should have been all year. I said it before the season, and I’ll say it to the end of the season that if Whitlock would have been the closer the Red Sox would have a better record right now. Yes I know there has been a lot of pushback about that, but that’s my opinion. Eck has said all year that’s where Whitlock should be, and recently has said 1 inning save opportunities is better than trying to get a two inning save. Pitching 3-4 times a week is better than pitching 2 innings, and then having to wait 2-3 days to pitch again. With Houck out this is a good time to try it.Same with Schreiber 1 inning at a time if possible.It would be great also if Barnes could pitch somewhat decent the rest out the year. I hope Bloom has seen what the importance of having a good closer makes. I know the Braves think the $16M spent on Jansen was well worth it.

Last place in the Div, and last wild card spot standing update. 4 games back in the L column for last place, and 5 games back in the L colum for the last wild card spot. Got some momentum going, so 1 game at a time, and let’s GO SOX!

WOW! I can’t believe it, but on game 116 Cora actually brought in Whitlock in the 9th for a three out save. Way to go Alex. -
Two entirely different views, which lead to different opinions. To one poster on here the clubhouse leaders mainl Bogey, and JD were pouting, and crying, and to me they were pissed off. To one poster Vaz wasn’t good enough to be the Red Sox C, and Bogey isn’t good enough to be the Red Sox SS, and add to that wanted them sold off in a fire sale. To me Vaz was good enough to be the Red Sox C, and Bogey is good enough to be the Red Sox SS, and didn’t want a fire sale. Two different views of things, which led to different opinions.

I think there was more to the just losing their buddy Vaz then why the team was pissed. Difference between being pissed, and pouting, and crying. I think the feeling in the clubhouse was that losing Vaz made the team worse off at the present time. Vaz had been through the battles with the team, and came up with some big clutch hits along the way like last postseason run. Just a thought.
-
There was plenty of blame to go around, and not making the playoffs was the result, and then the Bobby V Clown Show, which topped everything off.
-
Well written, but there wouldn’t be any pissing contest if people could just do a simple thing agree to disagree that I have tried several times, but seems to be a big problem that everyone has to get the last word in.Facts are facts, and opinions are opinions, and nothing more than that, and most times both sides can be right at the same time, but don’t want to hear the other side.
-
And you are saying that for both sides of course. I asked before if anyone had put him on ignore like MVP, and no one answered. I have also seen more than one pissing match with him, and someone else, and just stood by, and watched,so it’s not just me. I know you like to put all the blame on me, and I’m only here for pissing contest, so so be it.
-
Wasn’t they like 7-20 that last month, and had been a good team up until that point? That’s why it turned out to be the deal it was, and compounded by not making the playoffs on the last day of the season.
-
You have your opinion, and I have mine. I have no disdain against anyone.
-
But how many teams fell apart like the Sox did?
-
Was Pedroia there for the chicken, and beer fest?
-
And I don’t see Bloom as being good, or lucky, so I think the Sox are screwed until Henry smartens up, and gets rid of him.
-
The BIGGEST void in leadership starts at the top with BLOOM. There was team malaise to start the season, and a 10-19 showed that, and I don’t believe the Bungling Bloom handing of the contracts of Bogey, and Raffy helped matters, so lack of leadership yes, but it starts with Bloom, and Cora.
-
Slop, slop, and MoonSlop 101.
-
I’ve been straight forward on my opinion on what to do at the trade deadline, and going for a wild card spot. When I said Bloom bungled things up I was agreeing with the posters opinion, and not mine that to their thinking Bloom was a bungler. I keep saying Bloom came to that fork in the road, and looked for a third option. I still haven’t quit on this season.
-
I have two conflicting thoughts. I don’t agree with $300M+ contracts on one hand, and on the other I could care less if Henry has to pay out $500M on payroll.
-
Lost on several posters? Only you get everything, or at least you think you do.
-
Irate, and bitching up a storm, and proud of it. This team is in last place, and an embarrassment. Always have to bash someone who doesn’t think like you either players that aren’t good enough to fit your standard, or the fans who don’t share your views.
-
All in all it starts, and stops with Bloom.
-
I think morale on the team all season has been low starting with Bloom’s lowball contract offer to Raffy, and Bogey, and getting off to that great 10-19 start.

Well said, and what a bad time to be doing this. -
Still trying to confirm the Red Sox record with out Vaz. Well 5-7 must confirm your theory. Probably miss some of his clutch hits.
-
Imagine that you dish out disdain on other posters like with you BOY Toy (Kike), but you don’t do it yourself. What a load of crap, and MoonSlop 101. Never smelling your own stink. Priceless, and predictable.
