Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season VI: Hunt for the Wild Card is on

[GatorMike]

And they could have the same record next year with a highly rated farm system and you'd say the same exact thing.

It's not that simple.

They could have a better record next year, but if they aren't taking steps towards sustainability, I'd criticize them. If they're getting big decisions wrong, then I'll criticize them.

Then you're just gonna be on this endless chase for sustainability, always looking to the future over the present season. I don't know, just don't get it.

If they're doing the right things and getting the big decisions right, the present will take care of itself.

How can you predict that. Sox have never won with the Tampa model so there is no evidence this plan will succeed. their 4 WS in 86 years were won spending and thats how theyll always be won

IMO, this off-season is make or break for bloom. Didn’t expect too much today.

Lololol. Imagine wording it like this. Sox are one of the most MLB successful franchises in the last 2 decades. Unless you’re 86 years old, and lived through all, let’s cut the BS about 4 in 86. Give me a break.

So they couldn't sell 1 or 2 to acquire a pitcher?

I would’ve preferred it, and apparently they did try to get Rich Hill for another stint. Ultimately they probably decided that the risk of finding a full time starter out of Houck/Whitlock/Sale is a better bet to take than to give up assets for somebody who doesn’t slot in long term

Again, I would’ve preferred a backend rotation addition. I can see the logic they have though

Just trolling at a certain point

they won spending is the point. when they go back to being a big market team they'll win again. give me a break with your verison of last place baseball

 

[quietbruinfan]

Bye bye Bloom. You were far from "awesome" and will not be missed.

Spending doesn’t guarantee anything. SD? NYM?

Just noticed the Orioles are in 29th in terms of payroll(oakland), 1/3 of the Sox, damn.

Ultimately I don't care what the payroll is as long as you win. I just think you have more resources than most teams, the big league club in Boston should be further along by now even while you're trying to lower the payroll.

The spoils of building up a good farm

For what? Not winning a world series in 40 years?

Well that’s how they built the good farm, a lot of losing lol

Uh oh Doogie is back!

This is completely disingenuous. The Baltimore Orioles have been a disgrace to the league for years. They don't get credit for that from me.

Meanwhile, some of us are enjoying a fun, winning (so far) baseball game on an absolutely gorgeous night on the shores of Puget Sound.

The very best teams in baseball are all putting their own spin on some version of what you're referring to as the Tampa model.

McGuire is conservatively speaking about 100x better at being a major league player than Alfaro

The 2023 Underdog Red Sox. I'm riding with Kenley's approach.


Sliky Reese with a Homer. Welcome back!

If only he had Alfaro's hair, tbh.

 

[08SeaBass08]

Jarren Duran is a golden god. And I’m amusing all the Mariners fans being loud and proud.

 

[Mione134]

I trust Duran in the outfield now.

Truly.

 

[CDJ]

Hell of a play to save a run by Jarren

 

[Fenway]

Who is Luis Urias and how might he change Red Sox middle infield mix?

The only acquisition the Red Sox made on deadline day was to acquire infielder Luis Urias from Milwaukee. A look at what he might be able to offer and how he impacts the roster.
