SonofaRoache Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It may be time for the manager to get a little fired up. Get some energy in these guys. Four of our last 5 have mostly been sleepwalking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just turned on the game last inning so had to check the GameDay....why am I not surprised that it was EE that left the bases loaded in the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many, for a playoff team.

We are a subpar team when playing anyone but three particular teams. The playoffs will expose us in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cease did not figure in their short term plans. Q is a decent pitcher and could have helped the Cubs. Eloy is a DH on a team full of them. If the Sox don't get him out of LF soon he won't be anything. Take your frustrations out on ownership, not me. Cease,is expendable just like he was to the Cubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Nice to see dunning settle in. 1 bad pitch really tonight, otherwise a typical Dane night. BUT, Grandal has to learn him, so gotta take the lumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now behind again, It’s real simple, the offense has to break out of the slump it’s in. Too many easy outs. Yoan and Robert are allergic to hits, EE is terrible, Grandal is in a slump and Mazara is putrid. That’s 5 of your 9 hitters right there. Hard to mount a rally with so many black holes.

caulfield12 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Without Moncada, Robert and EE, this offense feels dead in the water. I'm just not sure Luis can pull out of this before retooling his approach in the offseason. Maybe? As DJ said, he's guessing/cheating, his left-shoulder has been flying open and he's pulling off the ball...they're killing him with sliders off the plate. He used to drive those pitches up the middle and to right field, or out of the ballpark entirely. It's just one game, don't like the comparisons with 2000 where we clinched early and just kind of coasted into the playoffs...plus, there's no clear 3rd starter (still) now between Cease and Dunning. Knowing Renteria, he'll go with Gio Gonzalez or Matt Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
