elrockinMT 501 Posted May 18 5 minutes ago, greg775 said: Two very bad baseball teams split a DH. Sox may ultimately get good. Right now they are boring and very very mediocre to lousy. And the 3B coach should be ashamed of himself. You can't wish a guy home when he has zero chance of making it home. Awful baseball games today. No bats. Sending the runner home was absolutely the right play 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can we get Rudy Jaramillo out of retirement? lol. (this is a joke for those that don't get it) Edited May 18 by Jack Parkman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

35thstreetswarm 1,378 Posted May 18 I don’t know if the Sox offense will get good. I know the Sox lineup without Moncada, Eloy or Vaughn is not good. I just don’t understand how we keep running these lineups out there when we need to get into some kind of rhythm. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anderson and Abreu couldn't be troubled to come off the bench. No Royals catcher has done that in 27 years. And a rookie to boot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg Hibbard 648 Posted May 18 Meh on the split. It’s fascinating how people have totally given up on this team already. Reading the comments of some on this board you would never know the Sox were 10-6 this month. You would think they had lost 12 in a row. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going 6-11 against the AL Central...the very worst of six divisions in baseball, well it's not exactly highly correlated with any level of success unless you are the 83-79 Cardinals World Series team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
