    Do you think Brez playing 3B was Brez idea? Cora, or both?
  2. Old Red
    And that’s why he was traded, and that’s why we will Never know if Raffy’s bat would have made a difference especially in Yankee Stadium in the postseason.
  3. Old Red
    That was Brez idea, and mostly everyone on here, but Raffy said no, and Cora made it pretty clear he wasn’t going to talk with him about it for more than 1 reason IMO.
  4. Old Red
    I don’t see any major trades unless it’s for a top of rotation starter, and I don’t see any big long term FA signings either for pitching, or otherwise. Tucker would be to expensive for JH liking IMO.
  5. Old Red
    I think Bregman lost some range after getting injured, and Story wore down as the season wound down.
  6. Old Red
    Kind of hard making a bad throw from the DH spot.🤔
  7. Old Red
    At times the D was good, but then it reared its ugly head, and looked like a Little League team in the field. 1B was not good, but they did save Bregman, and Story some throwing errors. Duran morphed back to somewhat being the Butterfly Man again, and him and RAF Man had some communication problems at times.
  8. Old Red
    Terrible fundamental team with a shaky BP.
  9. Old Red
    Devers could have been the difference maker especially against the Yankees.
  10. Old Red
    If the Butterfly Man in LF catches that ball in LF could game 2 been a different outcome? If Eaton scores from 3rd base could game 2 been a different outcome? That’s all I’m sayin. Yes they only Red Sox scored only 6 runs, but they still could have won game 2. You play with what you have. Rice was out in 75, and the Red Sox still could have won without him. Losing Anthony, and Gio hurt, but they still could have won without them. That’s all I saying.
  11. Old Red
    Well said, and agree 100%. I said before the Yankees series that hitting, and the flaws you mentioned were the biggest concern, and despite all that they still could have won.
  12. Old Red
    For all the shortcomings, and being undermanned that the Red Sox were to me bad fundamentals in the field, and on the base paths was what ultimately did them in.
  13. Old Red
    As it turned out we faced 3 good pitchers also.
  14. Old Red
    Signing Tucker sounds good, but I don’t see any big, and long FA signings especially in the OF, or a starting pitcher. The Red Sox have 4 OF now, and the Password is waiting in the wings. I’ve said for 3 years now I didn’t see any long term FA pitcher signed, and the trade routes would be the way to go like with Crochet. I don’t know what’s out there again with someone young like Crochet, but that to me would be the way to go even if it hurt some to give up some suspects, or a Duran, or Abreu. I wasn’t advocating trading Duran just for the sake of trading him. I know some of you are you are enamored with his speed, and yes he had 80+ RBI this year, but he also dwarfed back somewhat into the Butterfly Man in the OF. I don’t see the Red Sox signing him long term either. To me a top of the rotation starter is the biggest need, and with another bat if Bregman leaves, and something has to be given up in any trades.
  15. Old Red
    I didn’t see the ND game yesterday, but it looks like the Notre Dame D is really stepping it up.
  16. Old Red
    Bregman opting in , and Mayer at SS with Story at 2B to me would be the best scenario providing Mayer can stay on the field. Imagine to have a FT 2B again. What’s the plan with Casas, and Masa have to be decided too.
  17. Old Red
    I agree the Red Sox were outmanned, and all of that, but that doesn’t change the FACT that a few catchable balls in the OF being caught, and better decisions on the base paths, and the Red Sox still could have won, and that’s be objective too.
  18. Old Red
    Yes plenty of Blame to go around from Cora on down, and all their flaws reared their heads at the wrong time, and the results showed it. They were the Little League Red Sox at various times during the season too.
  19. Old Red
    I agree if Bregman opts in then fine, but I wouldn’t offer him anymore money , or years. If Duran, or Abreu is traded hopefully they are traded for a younger pitcher like Crochet. I don’t see them spending on a big FA pitching contract, and I haven’t for the last three years. If Bregman goes they’ll get another 3B, and Mayer/Story will be the SS/2B combo IMO.
  20. Old Red
    Just like could with the Yankees.
  21. Old Red
    Let’s not get so over dramatic here. If Bregman leaves they’ll get another 3B, and no not Romy. If Duran leaves someone will replace him. You guys make it sound like these guys can’t, and won’t be replaced. They won as many games as they did, because the AL was so weak, and flawed.
  22. Old Red
    You should have been happy after 3 years of not making the postseason to this year getting in, and when you do to be able, and willingly take on all comers. The Red Sox were flawed, and that’s why they didn’t win. Didn’t hit, didn’t make the plays on D when they needed to, or run the bases when they needed to.🙈
  23. Old Red
    I’m not worried about what MM can do on the field it’s staying on the field.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t get into the War stuff except in old movies. I was all for trading Duran last offseason when his stock was highest, but many on here said no. Yes he plays hard, and shows up every game, but his offense can disappear, and he still looks like the butterfly man at times in the OF. I guess I’m just not all that impressed with his stretching singles into doubles, because he runs fast, and mad.
  25. Old Red
    The Romy, and Ref Mans Allstars against LHP didn’t show up that everyone on here raves about either
