What matters most is what the players in the clubhouse think going forward, and I don’t think it’s very good, and hasn’t since the season started, and with the lowball contract offers to Raffy, and Bogey. Also on the list should be the season ticket holders who pay the high high prices they do. All should be pissed at the raising of the white flag.

I guess it’s better to be self proclaimed, then to have no acclaim at all. -
No more Streakman. No more Robles. Which one of Bloom’s cracker jacks prizes will be next?
-
It’s August.
-
How about trading Bloom for prospects?
-
That’s what is most important is what the guys in the clubhouse like Bogey, and Raffy think, and the rest of the guys who will be left. At the moment it seems the the club is worse off then it was before, and management has given up.
-
What does that say about the guy who signed him to a TWO year contract?
-
You may not care, but some do.
-
Vaz was one of the few guys who was doing his job this year.
-
I didn’t.
-
Moon never thought Vaz was good enough, but Moon is not the talent evaluator he thinks he is. Vaz had some big clutch hits through the years.
-
Report says 2 minor league prospects.
-
True, but JBJ isn’t really a ML bat.
-
Bloom does business like he’s cooking spaghetti, and throws stuff against the wall to see what sticks.
-
I think Bloom wanted Whitlock in the rotation more than Cora.
-
Houck started in the rotation, but Whitlock took his place in the Tampa series just before the Team went to Toronto where Houck had to stay back.
-
To me the only reason that Houck started in the rotation was, because Frail was out, and then the only reason Whitlock was inserted was, because Houck wasn’t vaxed.
-
The facts are the facts that the Red Sox were either ahead , or tied in the 8th inning, and blew a number of games. Now I’ve already agreed with you that the offense should have scored more runs, but it still doesn’t change the fact that they blew the leads they had. High stress? I think it had more to do with the personnel, and the way Cora handled them.
-
It’s true the offense was weak early, but it’s also true the bullpen blew saves from the 8th inning on when they did have the lead early in the season, which was a big part in the 10-19 start.
-
If his philosophy hasn’t changed I don’t think Bloom would be in town. I do agree with you about the contracts though.
-
And it pretty much started from day1.
-
The only thing that will handcuff the Red Sox going forward will be JH himself. How many of the 4 titles do think the Red Sox would have won with this JH compared to the JH when he first got to Boston? Why does many on here worry so much how much money he spends, and if he pays a tax, or not. You think JH cares about you with the high ticket prices, or any other prices in, and around Fenway?
-
And neither has happened, and something should have done by now. Mismanagement to me by Bloom.
-
A 769 winning team in July? Wow!
-
That’s your opinion, and I beg to differ. All the expiring contracts, and Raffy, and Bogey being out there in limbo is on Bloom. He’s had 3 years to not have the mess he has to day, and yet here we are a last place team that looks like a three ring circus.
