fathom

I see this has become KW's fault again on here. Can always count on that.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 25, 2016 -> 11:32 PM) So with a different manager and the same players, would the Sox still have 24 games with 3 runs scored or fewer? Yep cause we never saw corpse ball under Ozzie!!

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ May 25, 2016 -> 10:29 PM) Define "young", or do you mean "rookie"? Rookie

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Our hitting coach must be fired ... now. Good luck after he survived that debacle last year

Absolutely awful home stand. Team just isn't good right now. Coaching staff struggling also.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Rodon, Latos and our No. 5 guy open the Royals series in Kauffman? Yikes. Hate to tell ya to run to your bookie but this screams 0-3 before we try to salvage with Sale on Sunday. Gonna win back your houses?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 25, 2016 -> 10:00 PM) That 4TH Run was one of those just BY INCHES that might be the difference. Just a shame You mean if god forbid a Sox player makes a tough play defensively with 2 outs? So many of the 2 out runs allowed of late could have been prevented if the defense came up big: - Jackson should have caught Desmond's 2 out triple - Jackson was close to Napoli's 2 out triple - Eaton was close to Chisenhall's 2 out triple

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) If the catcher gets hurt in the top of the 9th who is going to catch the rest of the game? I would use green if it were a joke but he never pinch hits for the catcher. He has not gotten any better in four years of being a manager. I was going to say there should be a PH for Navarro, but who? Saladino, Sands and Avila is what's on the bench. Not exactly the Cardinals bench.

Just getting absolutely no production from the catchers over the last few weeks.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Come on Lawrie, hit a bomb Or a popup His swing perplexes me. So many whiffs, so many foul pop ups. Then, he'll put it together and cream one to LF.

Nice Jose!

Haha, go Melky...shut me up!

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) LaRoche was a clunker, but Melky and Robertson have been solid. Duke has been serviceable albeit nothing special. It's already been shown that they never realized the problems occurring with Samardzija, that's on the coaching staff. Melky has been a disappointment though overall in his Sox career. A 0.3 fWAR cumulative total is bad considering the money they've paid him.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) Nomar Mazara (age 21) just hit a 491 footer at Globe Life Park. Holy crap. He is something special. Easily best young player I've seen this year.

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) Frankly, the biggest problem with this team is still Kenny Williams and Jerry Reinsdorf. Why KW?

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) I dont know, I dont think Hahn should really be much of a scapegoat for this team. He's had them take a different approach to drafting recently and he was the guy that organized the contracts for guys like Sale, Eaton, and Q. If they fail this year, Im not really sure it's his fault. They didnt give him any money to work with this offseason and he somehow massively upgraded our team anyways. Agreed about money this year, but it was the debacle last offseason that put them in a bad spot this year. Hahn's made a lot of moves, but unfortunately nothing is translating to production on the field or development of a farm system. He is fantastic at contract extensions

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) Lack of effort there simply can't be tolerated...so much for our veteran leadership. Unravelling quickly. Melky is bad on defense. Needs to become a DH sooner rather than later. He hasn't even been throwing well this year, which was his strong suit last year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) What the hell are Navarro and Cabrera doing? Inexcusable apathy defensively. Navarro seemed more engaged when Avila was out. Since he's returned, he's been awful.

So he pulls Jennings now for the righty, despite Gomes being significantly better vs LHP this year? These decisions aren't making any sense of late.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) We'll see how they continue until the deadline but if they just keep getting worse and are out if it then just wipe this team clean. If they do end up rebuilding, better not be with Hahn in charge. Just let him go after the year and bring in McLeod

More 2 out runs allowed

Just looked this up...Sox are getting a 219/284/328 slash from the 2nd spot this year

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 25, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Every time I turn our games on lately we have only 1 run with the exception of the first game of the double header. This is brutal. How long before it's not a slump and just a problem? I don't think this is a slump anymore It's obvious it's a lack of talent. No power threats from the left side, black holes at C/SS and no number 2 or 5 hitters.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Oh Eaton his fWAR has plummeted the last week or so

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ May 25, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Got ya, and I agree it may have been easy. However, I still really believe it says something about our organization that he had the WORST season of his career with us. If he was tipping his pitches, how the hell wasn't that caught/addressed until the end of the season? Additionally, I read a lot about Cooper trying to turn him into the kind of pitcher he wanted, instead of letting Shark do his thing. I don't care if Shark stood on his head when he pitched, as long as he got guys out that is all that should have mattered. Let me know next time Cooper "fixes" someone
