Spumoni Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just tuning in and realize its time to tune out. Team is what we thought they were. Two lucky wins against the Astros doesn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 This is about the 10th time I've been sucked only to remember why this team is a fucking .500 outfit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point considering how awful the offense has been for the majority of this series. Man, this damn offense has got to pick it up or we are wasting some nice pitching (bad time to bring that up I guess with Lucas being shitty again). Why not just bring up Colas at this point? I see some rookie came up for the Mets and homered in his first at bat. Try something to catch some lightning in a bottle. This offense needs a spark badly.

Katz told him to do it so Bregman wouldn’t steal the signs. Not that they need help hitting the junk Giolito is throwing up there 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox are playing like cowards worrying about the sign stealing. Of course it was intentional. Cease balked on purpose to move a guy to third earlier in the series for the same reason.

EloyJenkins Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Giolito went from wanting 200m contract...to lucky to be in the league by next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats have been on a consistent decline from 2019...but especially this year. So has his fastball velocity, WHIP, inability to be effective with curve balls or sliders, etc. What is your solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmb0928 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 How bad of a managed team are you that you give teams third base so they won't steal your signs. Tony is damn useless. Maybe change your signs up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baty is clearly a more advanced prospect, though. Colas basically had 2-3 seasons off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 So if y'all are right -- and we're balking people to 3rd on purpose and working from the wind-up with a guy on second because we're afraid of getting our signs stolen -- WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND STRATEGIC GENIUS OF OUR HALL OF FAME MANAGER?
