Another Olney retweet. That Peter Gammons, another troll!

ya not a good look to abandon the team at the deadline. All the baseball media is now aware of Bloom and Henry's clown show.

With Cora saying Verdugo wasn't "available" to play, could it be the prima donna had a late night/early morning that lasted until yesterday afternoon?

 

[Terrier]

I think it is clear what is going on. Bloom wants HIS OWN MANAGER which as a GM SHOULD be his call.

Ownership seems to have signed off on an average attendance of 32-33K knowing younger fans will not pay for the RF Grandstand but the seats they do sell are the highest priced in MLB.

June, July and August the Sox will sell out to tourist fans - every basball fan wants to see a game at Fenway.

It is what it is.................

You are correct about June/July/August. Mets and Yankees fans love a baseball weekend in Boston(saw a bunch of Mets fans enjoying Revere Beach a couple of weeks ago). Some folks in Blue Jays gear came into Buff's yesterday evening and said they've made the trip down here several times. The tourist angle is significant nowadays.

By the way, has anyone here been to LoanDepot Park? I know, it's the Marlins, it's Miami, but 13,190 a game still surprised me. And they give the Panthers grief.

No it's because his bestest friend got demoted!

It sure looks to me like there have been a ton of Toronto fans here this weekend

The report is that he showed up late to the game, if he was drunk I’m sure we would’ve heard about it like we heard about Domingo German

Not necessarily.

Didn't hear about German in the first 24 hours of his incident.

Difference between showing up drunk and showing up hungover though. Whatever the reason is, Cora is not prone to lose it during a presser like this. No pass for Verdugo. At least the pathetic Xander Slander crew can admit X showed up to play.

I think it probably has more to do with his head not being in the game than him being drunk, that’s a reckless thing to be throwing around without evidence

On top of that his grandmother died and his mother was recently diagnosed with cancer. It’s been a bad month, he doesn’t need people slandering him on top of that.

If posters can throw around grandmother died, why not hung over? All just speculation.

No one is slandering Verdugo. I'd imagine there are plenty of MLB players that have had a few too many on occasion. The fact that the manager took him out of the starting lineup leads me to believe Verdugo showed up with a little more than a case of the blues. And if he was simply late, why not just state that?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Jfc enough with the grandmother dying. It only suddenly impacted him yesterday?

well I said contract issues and you clapped back with based on what

Considering the source, this is absolutely rich.

Good point.

Although contract issues makes absolutely no sense in this case.

I enjoyed this. Papelbon just another troll!!! No reason for Story to still be at Worcester. None.

especially with the season on the line with important games being lost in the standings

 

[quietbruinfan]

My hunch with Verdugo is partying given his history. He has been trouble all season. He has now been benched twice and it probably should have been at least three times. It is a sad situation where they will have to trade him for pennies. Score another for Bloom.

Bloom should be worried about his own head not getting lopped off on the chopping block before complaining about getting his own manager.

Now THIS will upset John Henry

From $83 to $219, where your family will spend the most to attend an MLB game

Tickets, parking, concessions – they can add up quick at an MLB game. Here’s where it’s the worst.

Most Expensive	Least Expensive
Los Angeles Dodgers ($219)	30. Miami Marlins ($83)
Boston Red Sox ($215)	29. Minnesota Twins ($85)
San Diego Padres ($203)	28. Seattle Mariners ($97)
Houston Astros ($182)	27. Los Angeles Angels ($100)
San Francisco Giants ($174)	26. Kansas City Royals ($106)

As good a time as ever to send Cora packing.

Kick Bloom out too while your at it.

Gonna be a lot of scalpers at Jersey Street with empty pockets next season if this keeps up. And not even with fake tickets, neither.

Because his grandmother did die? And his mom did get diagnosed with cancer?

Like Really? Saying he showed up drunk when there’s no substance behind that is ridiculous and HFBOARDS has a pretty strict libel policy (that I definitely have run afoul of in the past I’m sure lol)

And it clearly has been stated to the reporters because that’s what they’re reporting!

Padres have some balls charging those prices with zero relevancy in 20+ years

Tons of Blue Jays fans in town this weekend.

Cora, and some decent starting pitching when healthy, are the only reasons they are not in what used to be known as Orioleville. Unfortunately he is gone either way, and Bloom will keep his job.

Imagine they make Cora the fall guy, would be unreal to see the fan reaction
