    I think Anthony, and Mayer are going to be harder to extend than Campbell was.
  2. Old Red
    Maybe he thought he had just taken one of his imaginary swings, and didn’t need to run.
  3. Old Red
    Wasn’t any good, or not playing any good?
  4. Old Red
    I agree, but MVP is the one who’s had a problem with it since day 1.
  5. Old Red
    I guess only Brez, and Cora can answer that, and why Brez gave the RAF Man the contract he did.
  6. Old Red
    #1 Duran only played CF, because RAF Man started 70 games at SS. Duran so far hasn’t been the same player either. I get it that you are not a big RAF Man fan, or the contract, and you have to have Anthony up in Boston. I get all that, but RAF Man is not going to make, or break the Red Sox season.
  7. Old Red
    Lack of hitting, and bad D has been the biggest problems.
  8. Old Red
    What makes it look worse with RAF Man, and the C not hitting much is then getting to the top of the order, and Duran, and Raffy aren’t doing that much either. Throw is Casas who’s pretty much non existent, and that’s a lot to over come. Abreu hasn’t been lighting it up since he moved into the cleanup spot either. If Duran, Raffy, and Casas start hitting the team can survive with the rest.
  9. Old Red
    Right now the top of the order needs to get better. Raffy only has an RBI in 1 game in his last 13, and Duran has an OBP of 296. Yes I know he has hit the ball hard at times, but that doesn’t show up on the most important scoreboard.

    Some team may need an outfielder, or an infielder while the Red Sox seem to be always in need of pitching.
  11. Old Red
    Leave him in everyday, and let him get consistent AB.
  12. Old Red
    Agree on this. I’ve said this before, but it seems Anthony, and Mayer are like money burning a hole in your pocket, and you just have to spend it, or in this case Mayer, and Anthony just have to be called up. They will get their chances. Casas needs to get going, but so does Rafffy.

    I think the way it looks is that Cora prefers Ref Man plays RF even in Fenway when he plays for Abreu. Duran ONLY played CF as much as he did last year, because RAF Man was playing SS. Didn’t Abreu miss some playing time last year also, which exaggerated the movement of the other OF?

    I was front, and center on the lowball offer, and slap in the face while doing it. My biggest beef was DD, which I said should have been a better contract in the first place with no opt-outs, which would mean this would have been the last year of the contract, and also most likely would had been no Story signing.
  15. Old Red
    NOBODY should be untouchable in a trade to make the team better, which would most likely be more pitching. Duran, Anthony, and Abreu are certainly not Rice, Lynne, or Evans, or Yaz, Reggie Smith, or Tony C for that matter.
  16. Old Red
    Yes we know that you like playing musical chairs, and the more chairs the better, which helps no player get better on D IMO.
  17. Old Red
    Exactly! No one was going crazy after Bogey signed the contract that he did with the Padres. Most of the complaints came when the Red Sox were lowballing Bogey when they did try to sign him at the end, and believe there was more than one calling it a slap in the face.

    As I said before the ist series with the White Sox, and said the same thing about this series with the White Sox that even if the Red Sox swept the series it would be nothing more than a MEH IMO. This didn’t even rate that. I applaud you diehards that actually watched this 4 game series between the two titans of swat.
  19. Old Red
    I think if Grissom would have played in camp like he has to start the season in Woo he would have started the year in Boston, and not KC. Mayer may have played better, but after missing valuable time on the IL the last two years he would have started the year at Woo regardless of how he played it ST.

    A local sports writer told me before Betts was traded that if the Red Sox let Betts go it will be the worst thing they have done since Babe Ruth. They did, and it was. Babe is still talked about today, and so is Betts, and Both will still be talked about for many years still to come, and should IMO.
  21. Old Red
    Not only is Story Land open, but business is Booming.
  22. Old Red
    Oh no! Say it ain’t so. Raffy for a bucket of balls🙈🤭. Raffy usually takes most of the abuse on the game threads, and from bat to bat depending on how he does good, or bad, so it’s nothing new.
  23. Old Red
    I think Casas is still in the taking imaginary swings in his head mode from last year, and it’s hard to get it out.
  24. Old Red
    I guess a good situation would be if Story had a good healthy year, and then opted out.
  25. Old Red
    You also have the Bregman situation, and will he, or won’t he.
