That was the same excuse used for JBJ’s bad season last year after Bloom made the trade this year for him. Yea that was the reason.
-
Why don’t you ask him the same thing, and you bet I do.
-
Game. Set. Match.
-
As usual you didn’t finish the sentence about prospects being useless, and you’ve done it more than once. Say the whole sentence like it has been said many times. Prospects/suspects are useless until they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does. Just saying part of it like you do is not the whole meaning, and that’s what you want, and need to fit your opinions, or maybe you just don’t comprehend the meaning.
-
MoonSlop is right, and everyone who disagrees with him is wrong, or doesn’t get the point, or has comprehension issues. You should know that by now. He’s like the Great Oz. Pull the curtain back, and he’s nowhere’s near what he actually thinks he is.
-
But now doesn’t play ANY games at Coors. Fenway is not Coors.
-
Wow! I’ll admit that is one way to look at things.
-
moonslop 101.
-
I’ve heard that one before. Someone is always missing your point.
-
You got it.
-
Not to mention that Vaz had many big clutch hits on his resume.
-
Have to call in a real expert.
-
Counter point is that now Story now plays all his games away from Coors, and I already knew what you were getting at. You fooled no one. Plus the fact that this was already brought up a few months ago, so not very original.
-
I’m no expert, but the word on the street is that batted balls travel farther, and breaking balls break less, because of the high altitude. Of course that doesn’t explain why Story has had such a hard time hitting good fastballs this year.
-
The problem is most Red Sox fans aren’t on here, but even then some don’t want to here it.
-
And usually deals with Bloom.
-
Nice try, but Story now plays all his games away from Coors. Before it was only half.
-
Don’t forget Story’s bad arm either.
-
Bloom did settle for Schwarber, and no one can predict what would have happened if Rizzo would have been obtained instead. I will agree that Schwarber was a big part of the PS run. I didn’t know we were talking about grades on Schwaber, but definitely could have used a real 1B the first 100 games this year did we not?
-
That’s the best comeback you got.
-
Do you really believe Schwarber was Bloom’s first option? He took Schwaber bad hamstring, and all only after Rizzo got scooped up by the Yankees.
-
Would you rather have the players the Yankees got in their trades, or the players the Red Sox got in their trades? Cash beat Bloom to the punch with Rizzo last year, and were smart enough to resign him. Did the Red Sox need a 1B the first 100+ games of the year? I guess not according to Bloom. Franchy was good enough.
-
As some would say a small sample size.
-
Sale an injured pitcher at the time was a bad, bad signing no doubt about that. The team payroll I don’t believe was the reason Mookie was signed, but that JH did not want to pay out that big a contract, and that will be the same reason too if Raffy is not resigned. I’m not saying there is no fallout, but Bloom has had 3 years to work on all the expiring contracts, and only got rid of 1 in Vaz. What has stopped him from getting rid of more, before now?
-
Does Price, and Sales contracts have anything to do with unloading some of the expiring contracts before this year instead of just letting them run out? Bloom has had 3 years to work on that. I repeat 3 years to plan, and do something. So if the plan is to not lock up Bogey, and Raffy then Raffy should have been gone already, and gotten the most back you can. With Bogey it is to late, but same thing should have happened to him too, before his no trade kicked in.
