    Bloom didn’t have anything to do with the call. John Henry did, and it was the right call.
  2. Old Red
    His contract for next year keeps going up.
  3. Old Red
    Sometimes it’s right to go with your gut then try to crunch to many numbers, which is what baseball has turned into.
  4. Old Red
    I’ve never said anything about choking, but like I said don’t over analyze, and you’ll be alright. D U G O.
  5. Old Red
    Still scratching on Dugo?
  6. Old Red
    Let him start the 7th. He’s better than anyone in the pen.
  7. Old Red
    I can’t believe it a starting pitcher making through 6. A shaky 6th inning, but I’ll take it.
  8. Old Red
    Hopefully he’s starting one of his hot streaks.
  9. Old Red
    Stop over analyzing everything.

    You call hitting a solo HR in the second inning in a 0-0 is a clutch hit?
  11. Old Red
    The whole offense has pretty much bottomed out, and like Cora said last night lots of empty AB. Not a clutch hitter in the bunch.
  12. Old Red
    They will win tonight, because EO will have a good bounce back game, and nothing else.
  13. Old Red
    To much worrying about Schwaber not playing. Be fore he hit those 2 HR against a Mets pitcher he hits he had gone 13 games without a HR, and pounded out a 2-9 this past weekend against the Yankees.
  14. Old Red
    You are saying that those games listed were pressure packed games like this last Yankee series? Wow! And none of those games you listed will be no comparison to the games that is left to play.
  15. Old Red
    Put him at DH, which is the only place he belongs.
  16. Old Red
    No LF is not one of the most important D positions, but I don’t want JD out there either.
  17. Old Red
    When was there pressure on the Sox earlier this season, and that they played well under that pressure? The first 16 games against the Yankees were nothing like the last 3 games played last weekend. That was playoff atmosphere, and a lot different from the earlier games, and, because they lost all 3, it has made the next 5 with another lost last night all the more important, and now under more pressure than they have faced all year. Nothing to compare to earlier in the season.
  18. Old Red
    The D has been bad enough that you don’t need Fred Flintstone Schwaber in the field. LF, or 1B.
  19. Old Red
    A lot more pressure playing in these games now compared to even a few weeks ago, and that is a big difference, so flipping back to playing better all of a sudden isn’t as easy as it was before.
  20. Old Red
    You say at the moment the Sox suck, but that has changed all year long, but like I keep saying the Sox are not the same team. They are all these additions, and the record didn’t improve. Earlier in the season they were in first place, and didn’t need those additions, because they were a better team, but you don’t understand that, and keep hoping they will turn it around is all you got at this point, and you can point to flips, and flops all you want, because once again that’s all you got, and no I won’t be thrilled if the Sox implodes, but I just don’t like the way things are going, and have the hope that you do, and I have not written any chances to win 5 in a row, or 6 in a row.
  21. Old Red
    Season records do not mean anything once the post season starts, so if you want to cling on the Sox we’re 10-9 against the Yankees go for it, but I don’t think it makes the Red Sox feel any better. What you don’t seem to get is the Red Sox aren’t the same team as they were earlier in the season, and can’t just turn it on, and get better again. You seem to be the one clinging on thinking the Sox are better than they are. You keep thinking the Sox right now are as good as when they were beating up on the Yankees, and won their first 7 games against them. THEY ARE NOT, so who is the one clinging? You are.
  22. Old Red
    You keep thinking the Sox are the same team that was in first place the first half of the season. They are not, and neither are the Yankees. The Yankees got better, and Toronto got better. The Sox did not, so don’t think the Sox can just turn it around.
  23. Old Red
    Like I’ve said many times that once you get into the post season that head to head is all that matters. Did any of those 21 wins come against the Red Sox? The Rockies also had a long layoff, and the Red Sox were a damm good team at that time. You can look at it however you want, but there are reasons why the Red Sox aren’t a good team at the moment compared to when they were leading the division, which seems like years ago. The bullpen has been worn to a frazzle, by the inept starters who can’t go 6, and haven’t for a long time. The Sox have no closer when at earlier in the season they did. Whitlock, Otto, and Barnes at one time we’re pitching pretty good when they were in first, but not no more. That is not going to change on a whim. The bats can be better, and the defense can be adequate, but this just isn’t the same team that played earlier in the season, and at the moment there is not player you can count on.

    Many teams in all sports have one championships that was not the best team during the season. Once the playoffs hit lots of times it is who is playing best at the moment, and not who has played best during the year. If the right now rant annoys you the so be it. You are putting all your hopes on the Sox turning on a dime, and all of a sudden becoming a good team again, and I do not. Right now is all that matters, and right now the Sox are not a good team, and the Yankees are.Right now the Sox are fighting for a playoff spot, and the pressure is on, and right now it looks like the Sox can’t handle that pressure. That’s the difference.
  25. Old Red
    You are always worrying what other teams are doing, and wondering why other teams deserve the playoffs more than the Sox. Right now the Yankees are a better team, and Toronto has a better lineup also right now. At the moment right now is all that matters, and right now the Red Sox are playing like a little league team.
