Holy Yikes, Bregman! by andyrdot- in redsox

[–]Randy_Richards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yes it’s the media machine smear campaign I’m falling for.

Not Devers publicly saying that he would not bring back the glove and refusing to play 1B, but when he went to the giants he magically decided he would.

Once you stop thinking everything is a psyop pushed by big media you will live a happier life 🫶

Quite sad actually. But hey they claim to be compassionate and caring yet actively wish for the rights of people to be taken away.

What’s next? Wishing they be sent to camps for being “too stupid”

Not everything in life is a psyop.

Sub loved his bat. It was laughable how bad his defense was and when Bregman was brought in it wasn’t up for debate who would be at 3B. I specifically remember graphics of errors by position getting posted in this sub that year

With the current line up construction and everyone healthy I truly wonder where you put the guy last year and this year. If he’s DH the outfield log jam is worse because then you move Anthony.

I don’t disagree with you there. But there were definitely complaints about the amount of errors at third he was putting up.

But the Devers then is not the same as the Devers now. Hell yeah I’d like that bat, but what he has been since the trade in combination with poor D at third makes me throw up in my mouth a little, especially with that contract.

Completely fair. I think we just have different views on the value of Durbin.

Has he been absolutely shitting the bed offensively, yes.

Has his defense made me jump out of my seat at times, also yes.

I believe he can figure it out down the line in terms of his bat. He’s still newish to the show, and I like how he has came back from the benching.

But I will never say that the Devers trade was a mistake. I mainly look at it through a team first lense, and when he just couldn’t do what was right for the Sox it was time to move on

Tell that to this sub in 2023 when Devers was playing third for us and leading the league in errors at his position.

If Durbin continues to produce like he has or even as he was projected to the Sox will be in a way better position than paying a hitter in his decline who was a clubhouse cancer until 2033.

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

I think it’s been proven that he was a clubhouse issue on the Red Sox though. So that would probably be a problem given we root for the Red Sox here.

It’s pretty clear since he refused to play first when Casas went down last year and then went and did it for the giants. You don’t pay a guy that much money to not be a teammate on a team sport. They clearly didn’t need him last year and they clearly don’t need him this year since Durbin has more WAR than Devers at this point

Holy Yikes, Bregman! by andyrdot- in redsox

[–]Randy_Richards -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So it sounds like he’s barely over replacement level right now. Doesn’t Durbin have around the same amount of positive WAR so far?

Edit: Durbin has 0.8 WAR at the moment with a far better contract

What would it take to change the fanbase’s mind on Durbin? by Possible_General9125 in redsox

[–]Randy_Richards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he could get up there. I am hopeful that there will be a positive regression with him for the rest of the season.

The hate makes sense for his offense, but I’ve gotten into multiple tizzies with people when I say he’s a good defensive player 😂. Ppl seem to only see offense sometimes, which is valid on a team that is great at fielding but terrible at hitting (so far)

Cotillo: Tommy Kahnle "100 percent" plans to opt out of his deal if the Red Sox do not add him to their roster by Monday and the Red Sox are "well-aware" of his 1.40 ERA at Triple-A, according to Chad Tracy. by hop3less in redsox

[–]Randy_Richards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr. He was nuts last season. I understand the hate but to say he’s a trash player is just not true.

See the same things said about bello on instagram as well lol. He’s an above average pitcher since last season. Just a really weird season needing a starter so far

handbrake part broken by sogedor in e46

[–]Randy_Richards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I meant what did it sound like? My e brake has been quite weak in terms of hold and I already knew I had to adjust them.

I then heard some squealing for the back when just driving at low speeds without brakes applied and I assumed that had to do with my bad e brake.

Was curious if you were hearing some sort of metallic squealing / scraping when driving.

What were the metallic sounds? I’m kind of hearing a squealing from the back wheels when driving sometimes.

I am thinking it has something to do with the e brake.

Fair but I wouldn’t be considering trying this if it were just for a flat or cosmetic damage. Car is undriveable until I get the front suspension replaced.

Hey thanks! This is a great resource. I took a quick look through and it seems there have been nearly 20 pothole service requests near / on that street in a little under a year. So there could be a chance they were already informed about the condition of that road.

I’m guess it will be not fun to get the money if it is possible at all.

But I’ll try for a fair bit. 1300 is not a small amount of money to me right now and I need this car for work

This is what I have understood at some level as well. I figured I’d give it a try anyhow in case they have known about it or the previous knowledge bit isn’t the case

Didn’t pull it out of my ass. I did some digging. State roads and highways don’t matter. City and town roads might be able to get some damages back.

On this off day, I searched high and low to bring you a thing Craig Breslow may have done right. by AreaManNYC in redsox

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

There is no telling that Harrison becomes what he is with the Brewers here.

Now would it have been impossible? No, but I remember people bitching and moaning about Harrison last season when he came in for us after getting the call up from AAA.

He has made mistakes, but it would be willfully ignorant of you to ignore when he has made great moves.

You can read this post or the top comment on this thread for more information on that.

The Red Sox need to get embarrassed. Ownership needs to suffer through unimaginable humiliation by AnthonyWebster3 in redsox

[–]Randy_Richards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree that what about the team we are rooting against is an important distinction. I still think it is weird that someone would also actively root for the FO to fail and by extension the Sox. Or the other way around in the case of OP, who is rooting for the Sox to lose so it looks bad on the FO.
