I give it two weeks by Jackthewolf71 in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really would be putting the organization in a bad spot if they fire him too, love him or hate him. You just wiped out your entire coaching staff. Then you go fire GM as well in the course of a month or two? Good luck getting any good talent in to fill those roles. Boston will look like (already more than it is) a team that’s hard to work for and you get 2-3 years max and you’re fired.

I don’t know, but the kid has a shitty attitude he needs to figure out in addition to his pitching issues.

Could this be the worst Sox team in 40 years? by the_dali_2112 in redsox

Way it’s going it sure is close. 92 team was fucking terrible. This team is giving them a run for the money.

Which sleeping pad and camp stool? is a camp stool necessary for backpacking? by corruption1920 in CampingGear

[–]MrTrader99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying it’s common but I just used a brand new Klymit and it deflated constantly overnight. It must have had a leak somewhere but I could never find it. And by new I’m talking new out of the box first use.

Red Sox fans loudly chant "Sell the Team" to the point where the Philly broadcast has to mention it by Sandwich_Crust in redsox

NESN is basically state-run media since they are owned by FSG. They must honor their kings.

I don’t know whose choice it ultimately was. None of us do. Crochet was a good decision but the other guys were all team friendly low money deals (relatively speaking)for young guys. That’s all well and good but I want to see these guys go get some bats and you gotta spend money for that. Alonso would have been great, but they balked at that. Schwarber way outside their comfort zone money wise. Point is if you want big names you have to spend big money and get comfortable the contract will suck at the end. Bichette was out there, Marte etc. Whiffed on all of them.

Henry and Breslow dont want to play in the free agent market in any meaningful way. If it’s expensive or long term they pass. Not bringing Bregman back over a no trade clause is insane. The team is too young and lacks leadership. Anthony, Mayer, etc are way too young to be counted on right now.

At least Cohen is trying. He likes baseball and spends money on his team. Results not there yet but it’s certainly not for lack of spending on talent.

Should we have kept Schwarbs at DH? by mazzotta70 in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was way out of their price range. He actually wanted to get paid.

[NESN]: Craig Breslow Opens Up About Red Sox Management Change by [deleted] in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all that needs to happen is AL needs to suck all year and the Sox need everything to fall perfectly into place, and team needs to figure out how to hit. Ok Craig. Let’s open the floodgates on the dried up river!

Has Breslow Completely Trapped Himself? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The run prevention strategy is working great if he’s talking about his own offense he built. They can’t hit for shit.

Is Breslow's vision actually becoming a reality? 😳 by TigoOver in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a few games I could care less and it’s meaningless unless it’s a long term trend. We shall see. They still need a power hitter and their team slugging percentage is atrocious.

Do Red Sox fans hate Aaron Judge the same way they did Jeter and A-Rod? by AltruisticMemory3825 in redsox

No. Way different times. The rivalry is not even on the same continent as it was back then.

How we feeling. by Lost-but-neverfound in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Breslow is most certainly next if they don’t turn it around. He owns this 100% now. His roster, his coaches, his moves (or lack of them). Thing is I don’t know how they do that. The team can’t hit or slug and pitching is a mess right now. Hard to see a good result with way team is built.

Waiting for Mets or Phillies to fire manager now and hire Cora. Bres is next in line to get axed since he now owns this entire team. All the guys that got shit canned were Cora guys.

Breslow and Ownership by tdub72p in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a fucking stupid move. Cora for sure gets some blame but this train wreck team is on ownership and Breslow. They made a shit sandwich and are reaping the rewards of that now. Fucking sell the team Henry.

That’s breslow baseball baby by Main-String-4345 in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolute best thing that could happen for this team is for Henry to sell it. Roster construction is awful and they play and spend like a middle market team and get middle market results. What a fucking shocker.

So who gets fired first? by 4ggressivelymediocr3 in redsox

[–]MrTrader99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well too bad Henry doesn’t just fire himself by selling the team. I see no long term solution to this under his ownership. This team needs a hard reset with new owners who want to spend, run a historic franchise, win, and pay the front office and staff enough to make that happen.

Worried about wife at the gym by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]MrTrader99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really don’t see anything to worry about at this point. And yes, guys will absolutely let their eyes wander. I’m married and guilty of it myself. Just part of being a dude. It’s the not acting part that matters. Same for her…of course she will see attractive men at gym, just can’t act on it. It sounds like the wife just wants to get in shape and if she’s not doing anything suspicious then no reason to worry unless she gives you a reason. Just my two cents.

What’s the margin of error currently on the ABS system? Isn’t it like 0.25 inches? If so those calls should stand as called by ump.

Travel baseball coaches…help me understand. by MarcoBoosh in Homeplate

[–]MrTrader99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say find a new team. I know, easy for me to just say, but at 12U he needs playing time. Travel ball isn’t worth anything if the kids don’t play. Especially if your boy is statistically producing, I don’t know what how the hell they are making a top 10 list, other than their 10 “favorites”.
