7/31 - Close the month with a win
- Thread starter Sandy Leon Trotsky
- Start date
Anyone thinks secretly that Bloom and the Front Office hoped they would fail this last week so they didn’t have to go out and get anyone at the deadline? I know that’s conspiracy theory shit, but some of these decisions have been confusing at best.
Oh, I agree. I just think it's hilarious that Chang is playing first.
Arguably the best power hitter in the majors the last month is pinch hit for.
And a minor league pitcher comes in with a runner on second in a one run game.
It’s putting in Jacques with a runner on second in a one-run game.
Bullpen’s cooked, sure, but if you’re gonna ride Pivetta to 104 pitches you should probably have someone more reliable coming in after him.
No chance
bloom is fighting for his job imo
fair or not, if the fanbase is frustrated and angry (and they will be with another non playoff finish), ownership will contemplate a change
Hard to fix it when your core players are the ones who are horrendous on defense.
part of it is on Jacques. He plunked a lousy hitting righty and then still had a chance to survive by throwing strikes to the lefty…and he walks him
sometimes an mlb pitcher needs to make some decent pitches
He threw to first base and hit the runner standing there while a run scored. Just a weird place to throw.
what? Yes.
if you don’t think bloom is under ownership scrutiny, you’re dead wrong
What will the Red Sox do tomorrow? My guess is nothing and the Sox offense will continue to sleepwalk on this west coast trip.
The Red Sox have the best record in baseball when leading after 6. Cora uses the good relievers when winning and the bad ones when losing, regardless of the deficit. This is the flip side of locking in the wins.
They’ve been the best team in baseball for over a month and part of the reason is that his plan has come to fruition. There are a lot of guys on this team who look like future cornerstones.
Bloom’s job is safe.
Oh good Turner is hurt.
Oh my God, if turner got injured on that play I'm gonna finally get rid of my monkey's paw. I asked for an exciting ninth, sorry about that.
there is a lot of baseball left and there are scenarios that would absolutely put bloom on the hot seat - picture this team finishing a bit below 500 or just over and being 5-6 games out (absolutely possible)
point is, there is zero chance bloom and the FO want to lose these games so they can sell
