Why not enjoy life? Most of the board here wanted one of their people hired for manager so it's not like anyone really cares how they win. Plus they have changed. 2 hours ago, Texsox said: Why root for these DUI driving assholes? Maybe because I was born and raised on the South side.

I could enjoy a team with no expectations at a stadium a mile away from me. Sounds like a better deal than rooting for this team. The little I've watched them I will say their playing a lot harder than the Sox and are more fun to watch....lose of course. Seriously they look like their playing for their jobs and having fun doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His actually quote was, " What you do is you get angry, then you find the nearest bar and pound back 8 or 9 rum and cokes, head back to the hotel and sleep it off and by tomorrow you have forgotten all about it. We will be ready to play Friday. Do we play Friday? " Edited June 3, 2022 by brijames1957 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Tomtom said: This mess all goes back to the off season when instead of signing top line players to fill the holes (see Nick Castelanos), they go for bargain basement players praying they hit it big with them (see Josh Harrison). It never works! Throw in the disappointment of players they were counting on - Grandall, Moncada, etc…and injuries! It’s a recipe for disaster! Since the Grandal signing, they've absolutely given up on trying to improve the offense in any meaningful way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn't on the manager, there is no point in having one When the manager can hit, pitch and field then I will agree. In our case we have too many injuries and several key players hitting in the dark. This is frustrating but we can still rebound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have answers let’s hear them I'm sure it is his job and the coaching staff's job to help them 'produce' and to try to motivate them. The players look bored, uninterested and aren't even going through the motions it is that bad. At least a new manager might put a rocket up a few of them and actually pick a consistent line up (barring injuries) so that players might actually believe in the manager and know day to day where they might be fielding or where in the order they are batting. Then we will know if it is just the players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 If it were 2 or 3 guys underperforming, that’s on the players. if it’s 2/3 (or more) of the offense underperforming, that’s on the coaches. the team is far more talented than this. Coaches are paid to extract the most out of their players. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
