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.
-
Well said, and what most people are saying in RSN, and everywhere else yet some on here still want answers, and can’t handle the truth. You don’t have to go very far for those answers either, but if you plug your ears, and close your eyes you will never find them, and just maybe if you hope long enough maybe the short stay in the postseason didn’t really happen even though most fans know it did.

You guys never cease to amaze me now questioning the credentials of everyone criticizing Tracy, and Brez. OMG! OMG! ?Tracy now will live on for years on a once in a lifetime magic carpet ride of 37 games no matter what his record on either side of that was , and then made a quick 2 game exit after a feeble attempt of managing in the postseason. If you haven’t seen, or heard any criticism of Tracy, and the Red Sox outside of me you’ve definitely stuck your head in the sand, and haven’t come up for air. Saying other people don’t have two brain cells between them, and you do is just past ridiculous, and wishful thinking on your part.. Go have some Miller Time, and enjoy the long, long offseason, and cherish your Chad Tracy moments. You have NOTHING else.😭😂👋
-
The analysis on MLB are radio personnel? I would say most of the ex players had longer MLB careers than Bres, and probably not as long of minor league careers as Tracy, because they didn’t need to be, so I’ll say again if you want to have happy thoughts that Tracy, and Brez has all the knowledge on everyone else you’ve got plenty of time since Boston was two, and DONE

Good post. This was all discussed on the airwaves before the Yankees series started on if the decisions were going to be decided by the geeks, and nerds, or managed by actual people going on a feel on how the game was actually playing out. We got our answer. Lot less complaints by some on here then out on the airwaves, which isn’t surprising. Not just callers to the shows, but analysts on ESPN, and MLB are shaking their heads at Tracy, and his pitching decisions.

Keep hanging on to those comforting thoughts about little Anthony, because that’s all you got, and maybe one day he may live up to some of the hype, and expectations you, and others has heaped on him for the past few years, but it’s going to be a long wait until next baseball season whenever that is. Now that is fantasy land.
-
He seems to have at the very least tweaked' or aggregate his hand in the last regular season game when he was shaking his hand, and Merloni pointed out he was seen with a wrap on his hand, which he hadn’t seen recently.
-
Of course I don’t overhype SUSPECTS like you, and others do, so to you I’m the one who needs help. NOman little Anthony did not live up to the hype, and expectations pretty much before he got hurt, when he was hurt, and most of the time after he came back, and certainly his feeble attempt to hit a baseball against the Yankees in his two AB was a pretty much an expected end to his season.That’s the facts, and it seems you can’t handle the truth. Better luck next year.
-
Bingo! His two AB against the Yankees it looked like he wasn’t ready to swing, and didn’t want to swing.
-
Yes getting NOman little Anthony back from his vacation in Florida was a real boost to the team morale, and the lineup. NOT!
-
Not when you have to face the Yankees right out of the gate even without Stanton, and JUDGE.
-
And the posters on here rank?🤔
-
Taking Sonny out at that point was not the point.
-
Bad play by Adley, and Con Man no doubt.
-
Yes Whitlock hacked it up later in the game, but at the time he would have been a better option than Miller who had pretty much sucked the last two weeks that carried over to the last two nights. Poor Tracy had to make decisions in real time. That’s what he gets paid for.
-
Well said. Last year, and this year there were to many P&P players in the playoffs lineup to do much more than just make an appearance.
-
Radio callers like me, and people who post on forums are just different ways of doing things.
-
Bottom line was NEITHER was the best option when they were brought in. This was an elimination game with the season on the line. Breaking news, but A lot of people on here aren’t as smart as they think they are, and that includes me, but just like the idiot Merloni who said what he saw what NOchet did last year is still living in last year. He hadn’t pitched since April, and to even ponder that he could come in, and be as good as last year has a good case of cerebralfecalitis.
-
Game plan? A geek, and nerds were making game plan instead of going by the feel of the game. In an elimination game something told you that Miller was your best option? OMG!🙈🤭🤮
-
Miller started crapping out before that, and trying NOchet was a long, long crapshoot at best.🤮

A Realistic View at the 2026 Red Sox Part II
Old Red replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Unfortunately the season was more than 37 games, which was how long the magic carpet ride lasted. Before, and after that took place it was was more like they really were.🤫 -
Tracy embrASSed himself, and that you can blame on him. If you think bringing Miller into the game both nights down only 1-0 was the best move then here’s your sign. Those moves were either geeks, and nerds, or a little League manager IMO. going to loose no matter how they were managed is a different argument all together. Tracy got roasted, and toasted on the airwaves yesterday, and he’s gotten roasted, and toasted already this morning, and that’s not going to stop for a long time.
-
Well said, and it definitely sounds like geeks, and nerds were making the pitching decisions. Either that, or a little LEAGUE manager.
