    I wouldn’t even give the Butterfly Man a net let alone extend him.🤭

    I agree on Duran, but the Red Sox have less of a chance landing Skubal than they did landing the Yam Man, which was 0%. Not a worry at all to me.🤫
  3. Old Red
    Agree on Skubal, and it’s not even a pipe dream once he hits FA. NO on Duran. I don’t see any extension in his Red Sox future.

    Welcome to the 70 club.

    Yes that gaping hole in the middle of the order was not addressed. Con Man will most likely give you more production at 1B than what the Red Sox had last year, but not what Alonso would most likely give, or Schwaber for that matter. Less production at 3B also.

    I agree. Durbin may be a good little player, but he’s no Bregman with the glove, or the bat, and as you said Bregman was the team leader. What the Red Sox basically did was trade Bregman for Durbin, and Ranger. Mayer is still a SUSPECT, so play on the field will tell if things as they ended up will work out. It could go either way.
  7. Old Red
    I think right now the Red Sox are better off that Story didn’t opt out, and will be the SS. Mayer hasn’t proven he’s an everyday player yet let alone an everyday SS where he didn’t even play many games at last year.

    If Masa was to spend any time in LF I think the Red Sox would have to be in desperate need due to injuries. I don’t know what the plans the Red Sox have for Masa, but I don’t see him having a roster spot unless he’s getting frequent AB.

    Why does it bother you so much what other fans say, and think? Way, way over the top. If some want to criticize, and be negative, or call JH cheap that’s their prerogative, and there is nothing wrong with that despite what you like, or think about it.
  10. Old Red
    Hypercriticism, and negativism? Wow! Most fans that I know of only care about their own team, and what they do, and don’t do, and don’t critique what other teams do, or don’t do. You can worry about what to hell all the other teams have done, and didn’t do, but that doesn’t change the so called microscope the Red Sox are put under by their fans, and nor do I think there is anything wrong with that at all. If it bothers you, and evidently it does, because you’ve mentioned it more than once then so be it. Poor, poor Red Sox how will they be able to hold up, and win under so much pressure from your SO CALLED negativism, and hypercriticism. Unbelievable.🙈

    Yes you’ve heard my point, and reasoning many times after all the times you’ve whined, and cried how the Red Sox have to play in the Big Bad AL East, so we agree on that. Kind of Chicken-little. 🤓
  12. Old Red
    I agree, but that’s Cora’s way with the younger guys.
  13. Old Red
    I agree, but Mayer’s has to prove he can stay healthy first, and then be able to hit LHP.
  14. Old Red
    I like the way they did it last year with the Yankees getting all the games in NY. Makes having the better record mean something.
  15. Old Red
    That’s the way it works in all sports, and always will when you have divisions. I’m fine with no divisions at all, and just take the best records, but I don’t see them ever going back to that way, so bring on the best teams, and be in the toughest divisions to see how good you are. Not once have I ever said I wish the Red Sox had been in a weaker division even in 1978.
  16. Old Red
    Having Boston in that Div would be more than fair IMO. The tougher the better to me. Like I’ve been saying the last few years when the whining, and crying went on over what a tough division the Red Sox have to play in is that the Red Sox have been in the same division since the divisions came into play, and when they have been good enough they won, and moved on, and when they haven’t been good enough they haven’t. The tougher the better for me.

    The Red Sox should have known the second Durbin was a Red Sox where he would be playing EITHER 2B, or 3B. This shouldn’t be that hard.🤭
  18. Old Red
    Masa taking up a roster spot as a pretty much full time DH is one thing, but I don’t see him, or Casas taking up roster spots as backup DH.
  19. Old Red
    You’re right, and there would have been nothing wrong with that.
  20. Old Red
    Now it’s only Bogey, and his family.
  21. Old Red
    Players 100%. Owners on down 100%.
  22. Old Red
    Chicken Little cry-outs? Wow!🤭
  23. Old Red
    I’m not assuming Anthony will finish out his 9 year contract in Boston myself, which sounds about right to me. I’m also far from being the only one who calls Mayer a SUSPECT even if they don’t use that exact word.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t think they chose to ignore it, but just couldn’t find the right bargin.
  25. Old Red
    They were thinking they had Dom, and Jimmy there.🤔
