  1. He does that all the time, and interprets to his own liking, which isn’t right to do, or correct in his thinking.
  2. He’s not a amateur. Just someone acting as a 1B.
  3. Once again your opinion, and nothing has been proven except when he makes a big error that will be very costly.
  4. Life time?? He is no JD, and signing anyone to a lifetime would not be a sound move to put it mildly. Life time. Did someone say lifetime?
  5. I have been constant in my opinion of Schwaber since they got him. Nothing against him, and only that Rizzo should have been the pick up, because they needed a 1B, which Schwaber IS NOT, and was hurt at the time.
  6. You are not certain for anything. The Yankees took Rizzo first, and Bloom didn’t have a choice. There you go with that stupid insinuating again. Wrong before, and wrong again. You are no interpreter, and if you seem to be you are terrible at it.
  7. He’s over analyzing, and putting words in people’s mouths again.
  8. That’s your opinion, and nothing else, and I’ll take mine.
  9. Schwaber shouldn’t have been on the team in the 1st place if they would have signed Rizzo, which they should have since they needed a 1B at the time, and Schwaber was just after thought, and a hurt one at that who couldn’t play for two weeks.
  10. I’ll ask the same thing as I did before the last game. Can we just get through 2 innings before all the gloom, and doom start on here. Remember gloom, and doom early, doesn’t mean gloom, and doom late. I feel a lot more confident today with EO on the mound.
  11. Henry Owens, Trey Ball, Jay Groome, and Kopech were all #1 picks that didn’t pan out. I know Groome got injured, and Kopech was traded, but it would have been nice to hit on one of them. Houck has showed great promise at times, and even Barnes has too also #1 picks, but you have to hit better than they have done.
  12. I understand it’s not easy, but should be easier than what the Sox have done. Whitlock, and Seabold come from other teams. Barnes, and Houck are the only homegrown, and nothing imminent down below.
  13. If the Red Sox could develope their own pitchers once in awhile they wouldn’t always have to go out looking, and making bad costly mistakes, which they are still paying for with Price.
  14. Wrong. You didn’t even get what I was saying. What I said was as bad as the Sox were playing the last part of the season, and especially the last 9 games of the season if the schedule had been different, and the Sox had played the Yankees instead of the Nats who they had a hard time beating, and lost 2 of 3 to the O’s they probably would have lost to the Yankees,and not got into the playoffs. I know they had already played 19 times, and was just a what if. Don’t get so excited about little things. So a 1 game playoff defines who the better team is. Since when? The playoffs themselves sometimes don’t prove who the better team is just who’s playing better at the moment.
  15. I’m very well aware of what he went through last year, but he’s been back playing ball for a year now. I don’t think his look the other night, or his bad performance the other night had anything to do with Covid, and I haven’t heard he’s having any physical problems. He just like anybody on here, and when he does good he’ll get praised, and cheered, and when he does bad some he’ll have say he sucks like Bogey sucks, Raffy sucks, and last night Renfroe was the whipping boy, and sucked, who without any of them the Sox wouldn’t have gotten as far as they have.
  16. The play-in had nothing to do with the regular season it’s a whole different animal, and in any one game situation anything can happen. What’s my opinion of E Rod outside of his glazed eye look. I could care less if he won 16 games in a row in the regular season, that deer in the headlights look the other night was not very confident. Lot more pressure than the regular season.
  17. Right about what? I didn’t know I was talking about ERod.
  18. I could care less about sample size, or analytics for that matter. The Sox won the first 7 against the Yankees early in the season, and then went 3-9 against them. The last time the Yankees were in town, and swept the Sox they were better head to head at the moment. The Sox were struggling big time, and had a hard enough time beating the O’s, which they didn’t, and struggled to beat the Nats as well. So what? If the Sox had gone back to NY for that last series instead of Washington I doubt the Sox would have made the playoffs.
  19. To old at this point. Big contribution in 67 though.
  20. I didn’t worry to much about what happened to EO 3 starts ago against the Yankees, and that it would carry over to his last game. I don’t think he turned on a dime, and it was the bad start that was the abnormally, and just got back to pitching good like he usually does against the Yankees.
  21. That’s what we need to start game 4.
  22. The problem with the way today’s game is played you need the equivalent of 2 starters pitching every game, and the way the last two games with early exits by ERod, and Sale you’ve needed three. The game hasn’t changed for the better.
  23. How about Jose Santiago?
  24. Right now I’m only judging Sale on his last two games, and I’ve seen enough for him not to start again in this series.
  25. Sunday night is huge, and as for Monday’s starter that glazed look in ERod’s eyes on Thur is a scary thought, and not much confidence that he will not to do that same thing again, but then again the options are very limited.
