A Realistic View at the 2027 Red Sox Part I
Old Red replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
True enough. The Red Sox went on that extended streaking adventure with a bunch of P&P players. It was never going to be sustainable. -

What was Dick Tracy’s record on either side of the Red Sox going streaking? Not all that impressive, and especially his 2 game cameo appearance in the postseason.🤔 -
A Realistic View at the 2027 Red Sox Part I
Old Red replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It was a unexplained once in a lifetime magic carpet ride in a league that was the weakest i have seen in my lifetime that saved the season, and got the Red SOX into the postseason, but on either side of that magic 27-3 run the team wasn’t really that good, and finished the postseason with a lineup that wasn’t any better than what finished last year, and the results was the same too with a feeble attempt in losing in a quick 2 game exit. In the first 7 years of JH ownership the team averaged 90+wins, and won 2 WS. The last 8 years the team has averaged 76 wins, and now are just happy, and popping champagne corks just to back into the postseason in a weakened league. What a low bar the team has now set, and obviously some fans.🤔 -
Oh no say it ain’t so! Not just attacking, but mercilessly attacking certain players, managers, GMs, and owners. Those sound like a criminal offenses🤫. As for little Anthony it had to be his pinky finger, because the way I heard it he injured the finger doing a pinky swear with Mayer.

Oh no! Not just attacks, but mercilessly attacks certain players, managers, GMs, and owners oh my.😜. That sounds like a criminal offense.

You’re hired.👏

I heard a good discussion today by David Samson who basically said that Tracy didn’t have to look up, and watch the game, and all he had to do was look down, and look at his paper when he took Gray out. Of course Gray was never a made aware of the plan, and neither was TOll Man. It was not a Master plan for sure. It also seems that the Red Sox players are not to in tuned with Brez, and his computers.
-
Bres dug out a different playbook for the postseason. Should have stayed where it was.
-
Exactly. Crochet wasn’t healthy enough to throw any rehab innings, but was healthy enough to begin his rehab in the postseason?🤔
-
That’s the difference. He had minor league starts which was 4 to be exact, and 15.2 innings. NOchet had NOTHING, which makes it unprecedented.
-
What other PITCHER hadn’t pitched in anything since April?
-
I agree except for the selling off as fruitful, and as embarrassing as the post season turned out.
-
NOchet shouldn’t even have been on the roster to begin with. His situation was unprecedented. Whitlock ended up being garbage, but he was definitely a better option than Miller the time, and both times.
-
I know many people believe analytics have made sports better, but I think it’s just the opposite, so I agree with what you said.
-
He was most importantly a dam good pitcher especially in the postseason, and that’s what he was worth, and that’s why Theo spent Thanksgiving with him to get him.
-
If that wasn’t obvious before it certainly is now.
-
It didn’t take any analytical geek to add Manny, Schilling, or a JD to the team. Papi was a whole different situation.
-
So Tracy is just a robot puppet I agree with. Why do it now with Gray with the season on the line with Miller for the second failed time?
-
Once again Papi, Manny Millar, Schilling, Betts, and many others were responsible for the titles. Are you really disputing that over analytics???🤔
-
Don’t get to caught up in the 37 game magic carpet ride. There was a lot more to the season than that.
-
So with the season on the line, and your best pitcher on the mound, and something the Red Sox hadn’t done all year long it was time for Sonny Gray who had only thrown 71 pitches to come out, and bring in the always reliable Miller Time, because he was a better, and best option?
-
You think? You still think Miller Time was the best option both times in a 1-0 game? Was it because he had pitched so well the last two weeks of the season?🤮
-
That’s your thinking? Manny, Papi, Schilling, Betts, and many others had a lot more to do with it than any. Geeks, and nerds.Come on man!🙈🤭
-
They blew the pitching decisions no doubt.
-
Just listen to AJ P who explains it pretty well that Tracy was just following the playbook handed to him by the front office, and the geeks, and nerds before the Yankee series started.
