Stinky Stanky

Good catch. His stuff resembled Graveman’s, maybe a tick slower but with better control. Not gonna win you a pennant but okay for the here and now.

On Opening Day our team was supposed to win the division. So Hahn was OK then and we were all OK with him. When was Jerry supposed to whack him? At the time of the 10 game losing streak? According to the bloodthirsty element around here that would have been fine. How many teams whack a GM midseason? If he isn't gone after game 162, then you guys have a case. My advice to those with an itchy trigger finger: Don't take a management job anywhere near where I work.

I can see their thought process. Long-term condition that seemed stable over time, big contract, what could go wrong? Worth the risk? In hindsight, never should have signed him.

I wouldn't blame the Sox for messing up something which has been an issue for a long time. Liam was getting by walking a tightrope. If he pitches again, and I'm not sure that he will, it won't be for the Sox. Let's revisit in a year or so, more likely start of the 2025 season. Without a stem cell transplant, which he didn't have, the lymphoma is still lurking as well. Even with one, for that matter.

If nothing else, we are good for what ails you towards an opponent.

Better than Engel, how?

Stomach is churning from seeing those OBP's. Has the game changed that much?

Wild guess here that JR didn't want to pay the top two of the pitchers dealt whose contracts were up so he used 3 1/2 games out as an excuse, thinking no one would notice. For a smart guy, he's a world class moron.

Hit a grand slam that was overturned as foul just last week.

There are reasons that neither of them has managed or coached, that I know of.

With the movement on his sinker and his velocity he should have been better than he was. Blame coaching. I do.

Closer? Didn't have one before, don't need one now. Kidding aside, you're right on about sorting out the chaff in these last two lost months.

I think you have this bass ackwards.

Maybe Jerry will go Charlie O. and take over the GM duties himself. Couldn't hurt, might help. ?

Not that I'm not one of the sharks circling the sinking ship, but much of Hahn's failure is attributable to injuries and player regression. Throw in bad managing and coaching too. But his bad talent evaluation gets the grand prize.

Are we sure a second opinion wasn’t done?

Two on, two out, two strike count and 101 at eye level. You try laying off. Not that you're wrong, but it was a great bait pitch.

Happens once in a hundred times a guy is traded.

43% vs. 36%. That settles it. Case closed.

He clearly wants to be here. ?

29th isn’t a bad neighborhood judging by some of the other teams near us. I know, they have good MLB teams.

Embarrassing if Frank knows what Eloy does pregame and what he should be doing. If Frank is assuming, not embarrassing at all except to Frank himself.

Anyone notice that Sheets made the most of his declining play time? Nice catch in RF and barreled up a few balls. Repeating myself, he's not a terrible RF. Cease throws too many pitches. I know, it's not exactly a revelation. Can't say Katz fixed him until this is fixed.

Ozzie buried him. Too soon for me, although god knows what went on behind the scene.

Wish he could have hit the breaking ball. Hawk thought he was the total package. He had a nice year at AAA so he can't be counted as one of those we've ruined by rushing.
