Harry Chappas 308 Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) I honestly don't know how you can complain about a team scoring 6 runs. That's not bad at all. The six runs are not the issue it was getting shut down late in the game like the 8 pitch 10th or 11th that is leaving a bad taste with me and now the K with 1st and 3rd and nobody out. These are the games you need to make up ground that the Sox do not and then wonder why they can not catch the Twins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last night's game should have never went into extras. I don't think it's fair to blame the offense for scoring 6 runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigHurt 0 Posted April 6, 2011 What I'm wondering is how many years we have to see this crap before someone here acknowledge that something has to change with this coaching staff. No matter what out roster looks like, EVERY YEAR our guys play fundamentally terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last night's game should have never went into extras. I don't think it's fair to blame the offense for scoring 6 runs. but that did happen and just like last year once the bullpen blows a lead the game is over as the bats can not hit the other teams bullpen. Other than the first guy out of the pen in the opener, the other teams bullpens have seemingly shut the Sox down. My issue right now is that nothing has changed from last year except the payroll as far as an approach to the game. The starters and hitting are inconsistent from inning to inning, the bullpen is a crapshoot and the baseball IQ / fundamentals are extremely low. The Twins are losing to good teams and the Sox are losing to crap teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, Dunn's had better at bats in a week than Kotsay had all of last year. I'm all for being a pessimist, but this is insane right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
