QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) And their lineup is horrible. I can't believe this Indians team is doing this. It's eerily similar to how the Sox are traditionally put together with cheap veterans. Agreed, it's shocking how they're getting production from such a bad looking lineup.

Can't put anyone away the last two games. Credit to Indians, they're playing much better than the Sox.

Q, your curve sucks right now.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 25, 2016 -> 06:49 PM) mostly self-inflicted. This just isn't a good team anymore. People can hang on to record all they want but they'll come to realize sooner or later that this team isn't much different from last year unless something changes quickly. Getting to the point where Hahn can't go for it all in trades, as it's looking just as likely they'll be sellers.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Twins went from a 3-0 lead to a 5-3 deficit. Ha, what an awful three weeks for the Sox

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) I really have no expectations for this team anymore. All I know is that the Sox won't be in first place for much longer if they can't get their s*** together. 4th place after next weekend if this continues

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) Why is Danks wearing Quintana's uniform? Just like the Royals game, he's getting killed on his 2nd best pitch (curve). It's baffling to watch our pitchers all become mental midgets in terms of not getting the 3rd out.

Q would be on the verge of getting tossed if this was Little League

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) Going to be one of these days. Not even good at bats out of the gate and then the lead off single. In other news cubs are back on track after Arrieta gave up a run, they got 6 back. Jake will throw about 95 pitches today to get the win rather easily and only be rivaled by Klubers 91 pitch compete game. Hopefully KC and Tigers games stay same score

I had hoped Zobrist was old and last year was the beginning of the end for him. Instead, he's one of the best in baseball this year (5th in fWAR).

7 pitch inning for Kluber

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) I really wish the Jimmy Rollins love affair would end soon. Pinch hit, one day a week SS and that's about it. With Q on the mound, load up on defense. I expect a lot of ground ball singles to left today. You knew as soon as they signed him that he would get way too much playing time.

Rollins back at SS batting 2nd, Avi at DH hitting 8th. Kluber has destroyed righties this year, it's disappointing the Sox don't have any lefty options to DH.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:23 AM) You may be correct. If you are that says a lot about them mentally doesn't it? And that indicates a much bigger issue to me. Mark I hate that particular game as much as anyone. However as the season drags on, you see just how mediocre so many of the players on the roster are. They legitimately need a SS, catcher, two starters and another reliever (and that's with me hoping Jackson improves). The free agent hitters all flopping, like you said, has helped lead to another sad offense.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:22 AM) Six guys in the starting lineup tonight now hitting .250 or less and Lawrie is at .251. You thought it couldn't happen again offensively from last year? Better think again. Hitters come to Chicago and die. There's an organizational issue in play here, its systemic...all these players the Sox have acquired since 2006 can't all be this bad when they put that uniform on. The players are partly responsible. Those that evaluate them, trade for them, sign them as free agent's are the bigger problem in my opinion. Mark Not getting Desmond or Fowler was such a blunder.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:17 AM) I wonder if the "new blood" on the team would admit the squad quit after the Robin/Caroll implosion in Texas. It shouldn't take 2-3 weeks to get over one loss. By no means did they quit after it. More just lost some of the confidence they had late in games. Albers for sure has lost his swagger.

QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:04 AM) This is f***ing embarrassing. They were down by 4 runs. 4 RUNS! The other teams in the central can put up that amount of runs and pick up their ace. The bullpen even kept them in the game. Get pissed off and go win tomorrow or have a f***ing fun trip in KC. Offense has so many holes right now. There is nothing on the bench that can help, as do you really want to see Sands vs Kluber?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:06 AM) 21,550 tonight. Outdrawn by the Twins, somehow. KC travels well

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 25, 2016 -> 04:02 AM) Don't care. Hit 9th and play defense. That's what they currently have and he's a better defender than Ajax. To me, he's just not good enough to be a full time starter. I know he can give you what Jackson currently is, but what he currently is giving the Sox is mediocrity. I have always thought May is a 4th outfielder at best.

Another night of failure for this offense

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:59 AM) I think Jacob May is the CF next year. He can give you what Austin Jackson is. You think he can hit enough?

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ May 25, 2016 -> 02:49 AM) Zangari 0 for 4 with 3 K. I'm sure he will get the proper teaching and development in our system

Indians defense has been great

Indians 4th and 5th starters just dominating the Sox. This team is just not good right now

Heck of an overall game for Avila...yikes.
