@PeterTenkrat It's what Darla would have wanted

[Janks @JacobFrank4]

@ChristianArcand He founded Driveline. Him saying "oh I just handle the pitching side of it" is just a way for him to put the failures of the hitting program on someone else, and take zero accountability. If someone else handles hitting, it's his company, he hired them.

Run Kyle Boddy out of baseball and all his little followers too

[Jeremy Booth @_JeremyBooth]

Kyle Boddy has objectively treated everyone he’s run across that questions his methods, like trash. He’s actively worked against people to end their livelihoods simply because he was arrogant enough to think he could.

That gets around, and people decide how to deal with him or more to the point, not deal with him at all.

It’s a situation where Craig Breslow has gone away from traditional or even blended baseball acumen and application. That’s the driveline way. Speaking only for myself, with Craig’s background and what he had to work with he should embrace both. It was a traditional scout with some basic stat analytics that got him signed and then his career. His stuff wasn’t it. It’s baffling he’s taken this approach with that history.

Back to Boddy.

If you go out on that island, and boast about it to the point of telling the rest of the game they suck, mean nothing, and you’re the second coming of Christ when they all know the injuries have gone up, the overall performance and execution on the field has gone down, even if athletes have become bigger, faster, and stronger, then nobody’s going to be there for you when the fall comes.

The Red Sox are terrible. They’re worse than when Chaim was there. At one point, they were not that. They utilized all things subjective and objective to build through the draft, develop well, and augment in free agency. They went away from that formula and swapped out excellent for bad player eval and dev processes, largely driven by Boddy and company. A crew who in theory, should be able to do all that better than the game has ever seen and the Red Sox should be 13 above, not 13 below. Same thing happened in Cincinnati with the Reds, at the 2 year mark. They have only been better since he left. Phillies have only been better too, since getting rid of Jason Ochart.

Boddy has an agreement that means he can run his business and work for a team. If he was truly violating it over the last year as is inferred, teams would revolt and he’d be suspended. Reality is this failure in Boston will get exposed, and discussed as loudly as possible with all players at any level, and no matter what narrative is put out the scenario we’re really working with is this:

Sox figured out it’s an org destroyer, and Stepped back. Didn’t want egg on their face and Boddy, a professional card player by trade, knows what happens if he fails again especially under these circumstances. He quietly leaves, goes back to his business, they release a statement, and he’s gone.

That simple.

@ColeyMick At the same time, I'd rather have someone else making the deals to sell off pieces, not that idiot
