The excuses you make for Vaughn fall on deaf ears. He needs to hit like every other player.

It appears that Andrew's vulnerability to off speed pitches, especially on the outer half, has been exploited by pitchers. I do not have an answer but as a fan watching a lot of his whiffs, it looks to me like he may need to adjust the timing of his raised leg kick. It looks like he loads up on his back leg too early and the ball is in the catcher's mitt by the time he "steps in the bucket" so to speak with his left foot. I am not adding anything that he doesn't know and the coaches don't know, but it is painful to watch him taken down with so many K's on pitches that are out of the strike zone. For sure, he is a better hitter than what he has shown so far.

Are you 12 years old ?

Yawn....move on folks. This is all old news.

At least there was one exciting pitch but Benny took care of that.

Need Konerko here.

Like Benintendi ?

OK but I recall just a few short years ago when almost everyone here was excited about the prospective line-up after the WSox added Grandal to it. KW and Hahn were entrusted by JR to make the Sox competitive. Instead they systematically destroyed the team and demoralized fans. JR's biggest mistake was getting too close personally to those clowns and sitting idly by as they damaged and devalued the franchise. Terrible draft picks, unconscionable trades, and failure to add free agents to fill key holes in the line-up were among the mistakes they made. KW and Hahn are now living the life of Reilly off WSox money. F them.

Even for those who did not/do not want Ozzie to manage again, you might agree that he would at least shake things up in the clubhouse and perhaps in the front office. Ozzie has said in his post-game comments that he might consider bringing up minor league players to give them a shot rather than watching the players we have fail to hit. I would be OK with that, even where control of players might be impacted. These are desperate times. The other thing is that Ozzie would add some interest for the media and for fans. Grifol has zero personality - a real dud. IMO. bringing Oz back at least on an interim basis is a no-brainer, but as much as JR is loyal to old employees, he also may hold grudges.

My guess is that ownership has already been interviewing potential managers, perhaps at least interim managers. Getz has likewise done a terrible job. Changes have to be made when the Sox return home from this road trip.

Juvenile name calling is best left to little bully boys on the school sand lot. If you are talking about the cubs though, go ahead.

Generally, I think throwing in the towel in any sport is bad business and poor sportsmanship. Sox can win some of the close games they have been losing. They have to make adjustments and keep trying, not throw in the towel. As long as they go out and battle, I will support the team.

The Sox are losing a lot of 9 inning games by one or two runs and losing some in extra innings. Management can either throw in the towel and tank the team for years by trading premium talent for prospects OR find a way to improve the team so that they can get over the hump and win many of those close games. I would pursue the latter course because the Sox have a few hitters who will start hitting and they have improved the depth of the pitching staff which will serve them as the season moves on. It isn't even baseball weather yet.

Maybe more attendance with no parking? And who is "we." You go to a lot of games?
