QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 21, 2016 -> 10:21 PM) Blow this front office apart If only the Sox would only have gone no more than 3 years with Ventura and Hahn like they do actual good players

This offense just lacks difference makers.

Eaton JUST missed it. What a pathetic effort today by the offense.

Great game for Saladino....congrats to Lorenzo Cain on his game-saving catch coming up

Missed that pitch by a foot

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) The Abreu deal no longer even looks like a sure thing (let's hope he is injured or something is physically bothering his swing in the lower body), and the promised Latin American talent infusion is still years away from paying off with any tangible results. I'm sure they'll do a great job developing those offensive players

QUOTE (Jake @ May 21, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) Since I was feeling curious, I checked Rollins' career numbers against Soria. 1 for 1 with a 2B, probably not a major factor in the decision. Avi was 1 for 7 with a 2B and a K, again probably not something that stood out to the decisionmakers. With that said, Avi's numbers over the past week/2 weeks are not so good while Rollins's are...okay, a tick better than his season averages. With that said, Rollins's struggles against RHP vs LHP is not something that has been consistent over his career, so I'm not sure how much I would be thinking about it Rollins was way, way better vs LHP last year also (.762 OPS vs .610 OPS)

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) I wonder if Saladino catches that Nah, rocket

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) Hahn deserves another year...? He definitely doesn't deserve a shot at rebuilding this team if they don't make the playoffs in 2016/17. Not for me. Still can't put together an offense and the farm system is very mediocre.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) So who pinch hits for Jackson? Sanchez did last night and singled

So Soria this year is getting crushed by righties (.840 OPS compared to .560 by lefties). Jimmy Rollins has an OPS below .500 vs RHP this year, and Avi is at .753 vs RHP. Letting Rollins PH for Sands there is a decision that makes no sense on any level.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) thank god. I've seen better things from him this year but he still makes absolutely awful decisions on the regular and he can't lead men for jack s***. He's been ok this year...not great, not awful (outside of a game or so, but that is true for every manager). At some point though, you have to get results on the field. Same exact reason Hahn should be fired after this season if this team hovers around .500 again.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:54 PM) Soria isn't even a good pitcher but it doesn't matter for our hitters Notice once again no one could come close to turning on his fastball over the plate. Team just has mediocre power.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) All the good will from early in the year has quickly been erased. f***ing frustrating. 5.10.2016 - beginning of the end of Robin Ventura as MLB manager

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) Honestly would have rather had Sanchez bat there. Rather have Avi vs RHP than Rollins

You freaking kidding me with that 3-2 swing? HE CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES!

QUOTE (Baron @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) Some should be/is getting canned soon if they keep losing this way. Yeah right, they'll have a scapegoat like the bullpen catcher. With that said, this is almost entirely on the players. This team has no prayer if Abreu is one of the worst players in baseball. He needs to be an all-star caliber player for this team to contend.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) Abreu is being hammered insidevans then hard breaking balls down and out or just junk out side and he us swinging at everything He struggled like crazy the last half of 2015 with driving inside fastballs. He has just lost so much bat speed since the first half of 2014. Doesn't even look like the same player anymore.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) Just a terrible collapse. Ventura deserves to be on the hot seat right now. He has a few more months for that.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) I don't know what you even do w Abreu now. For starters, stop moving him up in the order. Give him a day off, as he's been a disaster offensively/defensively of late.

What a freaking collapse this week. Terrible clutch hitting

Team has to be like 1 for last 20 with RISP

Thanks again for batting him 2nd. What a horrible season for Abreu

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) How can he not put those in the OF no bat speed

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) This is Abreu's chance to redeem himself. Please get it done. Here comes a 6-4-3
