I actually love seeing videos like this. I’ve been so tired of fans complaining about the exact same things. We had our time to complain when ownership didn’t do what it needed to do, but that time to complain is over. It’s day 1 of the regular so It’s time to be optimistic! Let’s spread some love and cheer these boys on
I just finished watching the season intro that the Red Sox posted on the UA-cam channel and honestly I feel like the Red Sox are going to pull a 2021 and just have a great season and a good run
Corbin ... Love your ongoing upbeat enthusiasm going into this new season ... Your positive mindedness is so much more enjoyable to follow in comparison to the continuous "doom and gloom" coming from traditional Boston sports media TV and radio coverage ... However as you have well highlighted, starting pitching will be the deciding factor if our Red Sox are to have a decent season ... Though Andrew Bailey should be a positive coaching addition and factor in getting the most out of this pitching staff, realistically I still unfortunately don't envision this rotation managing to "stay on the mound" consistently again this season by providing five plus innings each outing ... "Red Sox Nation" prepare yourselves to be watching a lot of high run scoring games over these next six months ... Thank God for this new "pitch clock" ! ... Hopefully this 2024 Red Sox team can manage to win more than they lose ... I also hope that Alex Cora will take a positive minded "long view" of the organization and its very promising future upside and remain as Red Sox manager for 2025 and beyond ...
we will see with Cora I have a really sneaking suspicion that he is waiting to see how this front office handles the deadline and the day to tdays of the season before making a decision
Welcome to Opening Day everyone. A day where we are tied for 1st in the division and anything can happen. Today is 1 of 162. Enjoy and see ya later tonight! Bello enjoy being the opening day guy and Rafeala enjoy the first of hopefully many kid.
I'm calling 3rd place behind Baltimore and Toronto. I think they will start off great and fade because of pitching depths and injury history of some of the current starters. They'll barely miss out on the wild card and will end the season on an optimistic note with all of the young stars. Let's go Sox.
I'm ready for the season. I think being optimistic is a good thing. Keep the glass half full. This is a better team than last year in my opinion. Let's Go Red Sox!!!
If they play good on the west coast in which is very important. Then I can see them doing good. I always give the Red Sox the benefit of the doubt every year. Let's just see how things go before the home opener. Thanks for the positive outlook.
@@redseatradio I will join once I get my SSA next week. You definitely know what's going on with the Red Sox. I look forward to following you throughout this season forsure.
Hey Corbin. I see things a lot different than the current consensus. Tug McGraw once said You Gotta Believe ! I see a bullpen thats way above average here. I see an up and coming starting rotation consisting of young pitchers learning their trade. I do think they will perform better than currently thought. Statistics don't take into account the learning and progress made from last season. I realize Pivetta is the elder statesman there but I like his stuff too. This bullpen could very well pick up some slack as the starting rotation continues to develop and evolve. This bullpen has some extremely talented arms in it. Many are missing that fact. In my mind I think we will have no trouble at all scoring runs. Lots of good weapons in the lineup. Plenty of speed and power. Defense has definitely been upgraded big time . Knowing that our defensive magician Rafaela can play both outfield and infield is great and good insurance. I am also glad our big 3 will be continuing development in Wooster. They are there should the need arise. Also look for the Redsox to take either Hagen Smith or Chase Burns in the 2024 baseball draft. Both very good pitchers. See you tonight Corbin. Go Sox !!!!!
The Red Sox can definitely be a decent team this season if some things work out!!! Happy Opening Day, Corbin!!! Keep up the good work, and Go Red Sox!!!
I’ll always start the season with a positive frame of mind, whatever the injuries, whatever gaps, I’ll always believe. There is just so much good here, so much potential, that I will not bet against them. If I’m proven wrong, so be it, I’m a dreamer.
Hey man thank you so much I really appreciate that a lot. I would rather be positive then crushed than negative and right...at least for now!! Thanks again!
I'm a die-hard. I'm going to pull for the Sox and hope for the best for every one of their players no matter what. That said, it is hard to listen to you do your full-on best to paint an optimistic picture and still only come up with, "maybe we'll be in the fight for a wildcard." Two things you didn't mention: Cora is a great manager and players love to play for him. He is a master of getting players to believe in themselves. The second is that we have a ton of hungry, young players. If recent history tells us anything, it's that hungry players are a strong ingredient for success. Go Sox!!
The fact that we are much better defensively is a huge plus. Our young players are maturing and add a lot of energy to this team, we have a good mix of veterans to help the kids grow and if our pitchers hold up....Corbin I share your optimism! I honestly don't believe our Sox are as bad as the media wants us to believe they are. I'm excited! Looking forward to tonights live broadcast 👍
First off thank you for being here for that long luke I really appreciate it, secondly yea I know I kind of hate going back and looking at them, but its a good reminder.
I wish I shared your optimism.😆 I just don't see the Red Sox having enough in the rotation... No matter, it is good baseball season is back. Wish it didn't start on the West Coast...Let's hope for a good season and whatever happens in the standings it should be fun watching Casas, Duran, Devers, Bello, Rafaela etc. Let's go Red Sox!
In baseball sometimes a guy gets thrust into a starting role due to injuries or whatever. Then the AA or journeyman starts doing the job but plays up to the competition and level And the player becomes the guy. That guy may have never achieved big club status yet now he's playing at an all star level and begins to believe this is who is now This happens often in baseball! An example is some of our SP get off to a hot start and build confidence and believe in their stuff and become a league leader by just being confident that they are this good. Success breeds confidence and confidence breeds success.
Happy opening day! It depends on the definition of “competitive” - a deep playoff run or winning the division are both almost certainly off the table. Wildcard contention: quite possible. We’ll need to avoid injuries, consistent leadership from Trevor Story and tangible progress from the young core. You only need to look at recent postseasons to know that winning a division has never mattered less. Honestly, it’s quite plausible that all of the AL wildcards come from the AL east. One thing is for sure: it’ll be fun to see how it all works out. I’ll be looking forward to your videos!
I am also a Packers fan so this reminds me of the last seasons team. no one expected them to do good, yet made the playoffs, and win a playoff game and almost beat the Niners so this team just like the 2023 packers, will shock the world
With my rose colored glasses on I think it's possible they could be competitive. However, realistically they don't have any margin for error if there are significant injuries they are sunk. In any case I'm looking forward to the season!
Good job, Corbin! There is no question that the starting pitching is an unknown at this point. The rest of the team is solid. The problem area is at 2nd base. Cora says they will platoon there until Grissom is ready. Reyes and Rafaela will play there as well. Rafaela looked really good at 2nd in Dallas. That move he made to get the lead runner out was special.I'm not that worried about pitching. My big concern is how long they can stay healthy. My prediction remains the same. The record coming out of the month of April will herald the season. If they come out of April with a winning record if will be a good year.
I love it great video! this lineup is going to be good offensively the pitching will be our issue. Let’s hope houck/whitlock can secure the back end of our rotation they have the talent to and bello emerges as that top option and provides that young Pedro hype! Go Sox!
Defense will be much better ..hopefully adding when necessary to this team through trades. I’m excited about the offense, like you said it could be really good. Rotation will be much better than people think I stand by that. Health is obviously a huge variable, they need to stay healthy to be competitive because I don’t see the front office being aggressive to fill injury gaps..
The “starters” are basically all long relievers with the exception of bello. If there’s any injury to the pitching staff, which is almost certain to happen, they’re completely screwed.
We are better defensively. We are better offensively. Our bullpen is very solid. We are more athletic than we’ve been in years. That being said my big concern is starting pitching - specifically, depth at starting pitching. If we had a couple more solid SP’s I’d actually be very pumped.
I’ve been thinking if we could swap starting rotations with Seattle that the Sox could seriously contend for the World Series. Seems like pitchers are dropping like flies. Giolito, Murphy, Song with elbow issues, Walter has a rotator cuff injury, and now hearing Winckowski is pitching hurt. Wondering if the velocity focus is leading to more injuries.
right now their as good as everyone else in baseball...... this first 10 games is going to tell a tale. Doing well 8/2, 7/3 thats going to make everyone including themselves feel a whole lot better
I’m optimistic for the Red Sox this season, I think their defense and hitting has improved from last year. I’m really disappointed ownership didn’t sign Jordan Montgomery who was working out in Boston all winter and wouldn’t add him to the rotation on a shorter term deal. Also Michael Lorenzen could’ve helped their starting pitching and at least put them in the mix. This is a slap in the face to us real fans. Breslow is dumpster diving and if this staff has injuries there is no depth in the minors to help. Thanks for all of your reports Corbin, best wishes for a bee season starting tonight in Seattle, I’ll be watching every game regardless.
Let me tell you a little story about the N.Y. Mets . Back in 1968 they finished with a record of 73 wins and 89 losses. 9th place in the national league. :). A young pitching staff was in place for the next year in 1969. They went on to beat the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in the world series that year 4 games to 1. There was a lot of baseball talk in my high school classes at the time. When I predicted they would make the playoffs that year some of my friends chuckled . When they made the playoffs they were stunned. Mets ended up sweeping the Braves in the playoffs and the Orioles of course were none too happy in the world series. Hard to believe that Orioles team managed to win only one game. In the year prior (1968)Tigers pitcher Denny McClain actually won 31 games. A left hander named Mickey Lolich was the Tigers hero in the world series that year. You never know. Go Redsox !!!!!!!
I think they will play with a chip on their shoulder all year and surprise people. They have the "team" mentality going, and it'll come into play along with the other factors you mentioned. Play Ball!
Theres one concept I've been mulling over. To touch base on one known. Its the next man up. The knowledge that if one of the starting 9 goes down. You know you have a capable spot starter. If one of the rotation pieces goes down. You know theres a spot starter. But what if there was a counter point? Like a next man down mentality? Well. That is what the Red Sox have happened into subverting. Because if they sign Jorge Soler. Everyone has to wonder if they are "next man down" to make room for Soler. If they sign Montgomery and Snell. Then each guy can only speculate. That's just me finding a silver lining. Plus, its something I think about when the sox ultimately do sign a Carl Crawford or Trevor Story or Lucas Giolito. All of these concepts could be easily diminished by this year trading deadline if they end up being buyers. But for now thats what I look at.
Baring any major injuries, I think the Sox should be competitive in the first half of the season, they have shown that over the last 2 seasons, the 2nd half will all depend on health and if Management will finally want to add players at the trade deadline again. You do have a lot of what if's in order to be competitive and those same if can be in reverse too. What if Casas, Duran, Masa and Abreu all take steps back from the impressive seasons they had last year? With newer and young players that happens a lot. Look back to many of the greats and you can see in the first 4 seasons there were a lot of ups and downs from year to year. I do agree that the Sox have a pretty good Bullpen, let's hope that injuries to starters and number of innings pitched doesn't do what it did last year. It is so hard to tell this early. You also need to figure out how long will the arms hold up for? Most of the pitchers (Starters) don't have a track record of throwing many innings and that wears them down towards the end of a season. This is kind of why I think it's more realistic that they still will finish in either 4th or 5th again in the east. Also I don't know if you saw that there have been a few articles released lately of simulated seasons, and on average I believe the Sox finished 5th and with only 75 wins. I am hoping the baseball Gods are listening to you and have all those ifs go our way, but if not then hopefully we get some stretches of exciting ball playing from our guys.
Compete, yes. contend? If the starters can stay healthy, and as you pointed out, can take the next step, they have a chance. Watching Sam Kennedy this morning, he led viewers in the direction that they are attempting to acquire most of the real estate adjacent to Fenway in order to make the park a destination. That will take time and $.
I don't expect them to be great but it would be nice if they are able to play consistently all season pitching worries me the most even if they're able to fix some of these guys can they stay fixed all season or are we looking at another Sept from hell
Simmer down Corbin lol There will be a lot of 10-9 wins, and i’ll be here to watch our offense but… It is the swan song for Alex Cora, he simply has enough of this sh*t. He will go somewhere else where they will do everything to win and getting the big bucks for it. Such a bad look after seing the lack of interest from the league in the search for a Bloom successor. The Boston Red Sox business image has taken a big hit in the last years. They didn’t want to pay for starting pitcher(s), they didn’t want to trade for starter(s), they don’t really develop either ( the last great one was Lester). To me, a Boston Red Sox team who’s not expected to win 90 games is simply unacceptable….i love my team, love the game of baseball but our over/under is at 77.5….enough said. Playball See you tonight Corbin 😉
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much!!

yessir officially time to talk about actual baseball. At least now people can complain about the actual games lol
LETS GOOOOO!!!!
I just finished watching the season intro that the Red Sox posted on the UA-cam channel and honestly I feel like the Red Sox are going to pull a 2021 and just have a great season and a good run
That's how it will be, and in the seasonal exchange I think we will acquire key pieces
Man that video was electric

I actually think that is super realistic
I wonder if Duran could force his way into the middle of the lineup at some point.
@@OH_MY_DOGGG he’ll be lead off all year as long as he’s healthy
I’ve been pessimistic as hell… but that Instagram hype video gave me chills. LET’S ENJOY OPENING DAY Y’ALL 🔥
I'm ready for the season. I think being optimistic is a good thing. Keep the glass half full. This is a better team than last year in my opinion. Let's Go Red Sox!!!
Always fun to be optimistic until it isn’t haha
@@redseatradio yes. Lol Had lots of those times before 2004 so I know what you mean.
I will enjoy watching the season of possibilities! You definitely make it fun!! Thank you Corbin! Go Redsox!!!!!👍
Glad I make it enjoyable haha thanks for watching and GO SOX
Congrads let the games begin, this year is going to be S P E C I A L I have a positive ourlook GO REDSOX
Best way to start the season!

Happy opening day Austin!!
I agree...there are positive possibilities.
positive possibilites I like that
I’ll always start the season with a positive frame of mind, whatever the injuries, whatever gaps, I’ll always believe. There is just so much good here, so much potential, that I will not bet against them. If I’m proven wrong, so be it, I’m a dreamer.
Yeah I'd rather be a dream now too, at least for today
Thanks! I love how positive you are like I am, and optimistic about this team being good because no one else believes.
Hey man thank you so much I really appreciate that a lot. I would rather be positive then crushed than negative and right...at least for now!! Thanks again!
Like I’ve said before imagine we win 95 games after all that has happened and call John Henry and Breslow a genius(it’s a joke)
It would be unbelievably baffling
I'm a die-hard. I'm going to pull for the Sox and hope for the best for every one of their players no matter what.

Yeah totally those are gonna be 2 really important factors
Thanks for the great content & go Sox! (fan from Oregon)
Wow thank you so much Dustin this really means a lot to me!
LETS GO RED SOX!! cant wait for the season to start even if its a 02:30 start for me in the UK
LETS GO RED SOX
Excellent spin on all fronts Corbin!! I’m drinking your Kool-Aid! We do have potential for a fun year…
that's all i want. just some fun
The fact that we are much better defensively is a huge plus. Our young players are maturing and add a lot of energy to this team, we have a good mix of veterans to help the kids grow and if our pitchers hold up....Corbin I share your optimism! I honestly don't believe our Sox are as bad as the media wants us to believe they are. I'm excited!
Looking forward to tonights live broadcast 👍
I am excited as well! See you tonight!
I started watching your vids when you have around 2000 subs and it's crazy going back and just seeing how much your videos have evolved
First off thank you for being here for that long luke I really appreciate it, secondly yea I know I kind of hate going back and looking at them, but its a good reminder.
Let’s go Corbin pumped for the stream
Should be a ton of fun!
I need these kinda videos more often
I wish I shared your optimism.😆 I just don't see the Red Sox having enough in the rotation... No matter, it is good baseball season is back. Wish it didn't start on the West Coast...Let's hope for a good season and whatever happens in the standings it should be fun watching Casas, Duran, Devers, Bello, Rafaela etc. Let's go Red Sox!
Yeah the west coast start is absolutely brutal and I think it’s completely understandable to be negative
In baseball sometimes a guy gets thrust into a starting role due to injuries or whatever. Then the AA or journeyman starts doing the job but plays up to the competition and level And the player becomes the guy. That guy may have never achieved big club status yet now he's playing at an all star level and begins to believe this is who is now
This happens often in baseball! An example is some of our SP get off to a hot start and build confidence and believe in their stuff and become a league leader by just being confident that they are this good.
Success breeds confidence and confidence breeds success.
Yessir success just creates more a hot start is going to be super important
Happy opening day!
It depends on the definition of “competitive” - a deep playoff run or winning the division are both almost certainly off the table.
Wildcard contention: quite possible. We’ll need to avoid injuries, consistent leadership from Trevor Story and tangible progress from the young core.
You only need to look at recent postseasons to know that winning a division has never mattered less. Honestly, it’s quite plausible that all of the AL wildcards come from the AL east.
One thing is for sure: it’ll be fun to see how it all works out. I’ll be looking forward to your videos!
hey jack happy opening day! I agree health is going to need to be the absolute key hopefully its at least fun to watch!
I am also a Packers fan so this reminds me of the last seasons team. no one expected them to do good, yet made the playoffs, and win a playoff game and almost beat the Niners so this team just like the 2023 packers, will shock the world
go pack go baby
With my rose colored glasses on I think it's possible they could be competitive. However, realistically they don't have any margin for error if there are significant injuries they are sunk. In any case I'm looking forward to the season!
yeah but we can be realistic later just enjoy the bliss of a new season for now
Good job, Corbin! There is no question that the starting pitching is an unknown at this point. The rest of the team is solid. The problem area is at 2nd base. Cora says they will platoon there until Grissom is ready. Reyes and Rafaela will play there as well. Rafaela looked really good at 2nd in Dallas. That move he made to get the lead runner out was special.I'm not that worried about pitching. My big concern is how long they can stay healthy. My prediction remains the same. The record coming out of the month of April will herald the season. If they come out of April with a winning record if will be a good year.
mmm yeah injuries are really going to be the deciding factor this season I think
I love it great video! this lineup is going to be good offensively the pitching will be our issue. Let’s hope houck/whitlock can secure the back end of our rotation they have the talent to and bello emerges as that top option and provides that young Pedro hype! Go Sox!
Man do I hope so
Defense will be much better ..hopefully adding when necessary to this team through trades. I’m excited about the offense, like you said it could be really good. Rotation will be much better than people think I stand by that. Health is obviously a huge variable, they need to stay healthy to be competitive because I don’t see the front office being aggressive to fill injury gaps..
Yeah 1 injury or note and well things could go real south
I believe they are being underrated severely. But my expectations are definitely safe this year. Wildcard spot if everything clicks.
Yep
I think it's a two part thing though we need to be perfect and others need to fall off. I don't think it's impossible but it's highly unlikely.
For sure just those opening day feels lol
I hope the starters are better than I think. They will make or break the Red Sox season. In any case glad baseball is back!
man I hope so too they really scare me
The “starters” are basically all long relievers with the exception of bello. If there’s any injury to the pitching staff, which is almost certain to happen, they’re completely screwed.
all comes down to health and development if it goes well then they will be fairly good, if not it could go really bad
We are better defensively. We are better offensively. Our bullpen is very solid. We are more athletic than we’ve been in years.
That being said my big concern is starting pitching - specifically, depth at starting pitching. If we had a couple more solid SP’s I’d actually be very pumped.
100% correct
just the fact that Cory Kluber is not your opening day starter is a plus
I’ve been thinking if we could swap starting rotations with Seattle that the Sox could seriously contend for the World Series.
Seems like pitchers are dropping like flies. Giolito, Murphy, Song with elbow issues, Walter has a rotator cuff injury, and now hearing Winckowski is pitching hurt. Wondering if the velocity focus is leading to more injuries.
Idk gonna need a bigger sample size
right now their as good as everyone else in baseball...... this first 10 games is going to tell a tale. Doing well 8/2, 7/3 thats going to make everyone including themselves feel a whole lot better
Particularly like your comments on the cohesiveness of this year’s unit. Were there signs of disunity on last year’s team?
I honestly don’t think so, I just think there was a lot of new pieces and residual impact of losing JD and Bogey
I’m optimistic for the Red Sox this season, I think their defense and hitting has improved from last year. I’m really disappointed ownership didn’t sign Jordan Montgomery who was working out in Boston all winter and wouldn’t add him to the rotation on a shorter term deal. Also Michael Lorenzen could’ve helped their starting pitching and at least put them in the mix. This is a slap in the face to us real fans. Breslow is dumpster diving and if this staff has injuries there is no depth in the minors to help. Thanks for all of your reports Corbin, best wishes for a bee season starting tonight in Seattle, I’ll be watching every game regardless.
Thanks a lot Michael and yeah it was wildly disappointing and yeah the depth in the rotation is really beutal
Let me tell you a little story about the N.Y. Mets . Back in 1968 they finished with a record of 73 wins and 89 losses. 9th place in the national league. :).

@@redseatradio I knew you would. See you at 10 pm for our opening game. Cannot wait !!!!!! Go Sox . This is why Tug McCraw said you gotta believe.
I think they will play with a chip on their shoulder all year and surprise people. They have the "team" mentality going, and it'll come into play along with the other factors you mentioned. Play Ball!
I think it could be a really big factor but we shall see
Hello Corbin, do you think we can compete at least for the Play offs?
That’s the video
I just said everyone says they won't win so I'm confident they will surprise to the upside
Theres one concept I've been mulling over.
To touch base on one known. Its the next man up. The knowledge that if one of the starting 9 goes down. You know you have a capable spot starter. If one of the rotation pieces goes down. You know theres a spot starter.

Very interesting concept
I am not a member so I won't be able to join at 8:30pm tonight. But I will watch the game tonight at 10pm
Sounds good!
About to surprise everyone World Series
Baring any major injuries, I think the Sox should be competitive in the first half of the season, they have shown that over the last 2 seasons, the 2nd half will all depend on health and if Management will finally want to add players at the trade deadline again. You do have a lot of what if's in order to be competitive and those same if can be in reverse too. What if Casas, Duran, Masa and Abreu all take steps back from the impressive seasons they had last year? With newer and young players that happens a lot. Look back to many of the greats and you can see in the first 4 seasons there were a lot of ups and downs from year to year. I do agree that the Sox have a pretty good Bullpen, let's hope that injuries to starters and number of innings pitched doesn't do what it did last year. It is so hard to tell this early. You also need to figure out how long will the arms hold up for? Most of the pitchers (Starters) don't have a track record of throwing many innings and that wears them down towards the end of a season. This is kind of why I think it's more realistic that they still will finish in either 4th or 5th again in the east. Also I don't know if you saw that there have been a few articles released lately of simulated seasons, and on average I believe the Sox finished 5th and with only 75 wins. I am hoping the baseball Gods are listening to you and have all those ifs go our way, but if not then hopefully we get some stretches of exciting ball playing from our guys.
yeah absolutely they can go the wrong way, just what if they dont
Compete, yes. contend? If the starters can stay healthy, and as you pointed out, can take the next step, they have a chance. Watching Sam Kennedy this morning, he led viewers in the direction that they are attempting to acquire most of the real estate adjacent to Fenway in order to make the park a destination. That will take time and $.
Yeah not exactly exciting in terms of what the actual player budget will look like over the coming years
I fell pretty good about this team.
They will. Always competitive! Gotta play, the games!
absolutely!
Are you still planning on doing a red sox franchise in mlb the show? Either way, keep up the good content man 💪
I am still trying to figure out if/how that would work but yea I am still interested for sure. Thank you!
At least they will be watchable this year. Last year was depressing. 78- 84, but more entertaining.
I will take more entertaining
Everyone loves an under dog. LETS GO SOX!
Can't help but love em lol
pitching and depth for if guys go down will definitely be are flaw
Oh yeah for sure
I think they may be competitive, depending on how many games they win or lose by the score of 9 to 8..
hey what if they win more more of them than they lose though?
@@redseatradio I'm thinking it will happen more than not until about July. The bullpen will be about gased by then..
I’m confused Why is there payroll so high??
I don't expect them to be great but it would be nice if they are able to play consistently all season pitching worries me the most even if they're able to fix some of these guys can they stay fixed all season or are we looking at another Sept from hell
yeah that's the scariest part
All the teams have their "ifs". If our ifs beat their ifs we might have a chance. But it's iffy.
Sounds like an iffy comment to me
Lack of starting pitching depth will do them in.
I’m projecting them to win 86 games. Do I have solid reasoning? Nope. I’m just predicting on a dream over here.
same lol
@@redseatradio someone has to believe in these guys 😂
We'll find out soon, no?
Certainly will
Corbin will bring them back
Last place in the east is where the Red Sox are going to be
We'll see. Today, they are tied for 1st.
PLAY BALL!
Corbin I'm dominican republic the red sox maybe not winners 90 games or 85 but an winners 85 the best team a last year. Sorry my inglish is poor
No, los Medias Rojas no ganarán 90 juegos, pero creo que podrían ganar 85 juegos. ¡No tienes que comentar en inglés, podré entenderte!
@@redseatradio gracias corbin let 's go red sox desde RD
No Mookie, Bogarts, n Iovaldi. So, Things w be different. Go pak the cah!
I also don't think that what the Armchair GMs on my Facebook Page think lol.
Whitlock. Houck. Crawford. Bello. Have. To. Elevate. Their. Game. For. This. Team. To. Succeed. High. Upside!
Lotta high upside!
If ifs were fifths we’d all be drunk.
4 games in and story had no bat lol
Oh no 4 out of 162 man seasons over
@@redseatradioglad you see it man lol but his glove is golden
Simmer down Corbin lol
There will be a lot of 10-9 wins, and i’ll be here to watch our offense but…
It is the swan song for Alex Cora, he simply has enough of this sh*t. He will go somewhere else where they will do everything to win and getting the big bucks for it. Such a bad look after seing the lack of interest from the league in the search for a Bloom successor. The Boston Red Sox business image has taken a big hit in the last years.
They didn’t want to pay for starting pitcher(s), they didn’t want to trade for starter(s), they don’t really develop either ( the last great one was Lester).
To me, a Boston Red Sox team who’s not expected to win 90 games is simply unacceptable….i love my team, love the game of baseball but our over/under is at 77.5….enough said.
Playball
See you tonight Corbin 😉
nah I am gonna stay annoying like this until probably after the first game then I'll come back down to earth a bit. see you soon!
😅😅😅😅😅
I say 84 wins. You?
Alex Cora must go. They get rid of him. They could win the World Series.
Who would they replace in exchange for firing Cora?
my exact question. and do you really think that the Red Sox #1 problem right now is their manager?
Nah, they won't be competing. They'll be basement dwellers in the AL East.
Your lieing to yourself and you will soo. Realize they have worse rotation then last year and will undoubtedly be in last place again
