Catch the ball

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 22, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Sox are 0-16 with RISP this series. That's gross. Any idea what they are since the Sands single in the Sale win?

Anderson is playing today

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:20 PM) You're right. Everyone is terrible and should be fired. I'm out fellas. Can't ruin my Sunday on this board. Not sure when it turned so bitter and stupid. Used to be the best place on the internet. So it's not true about the FA signings? I know you know your stuff. With that said, if they tank this year, then I do think most, if not all, of the main players in the organization should be gone (and yes, I know you're being sarcastic).

Shocked the trio of Sands/Lawrie/Sanchez killed a rally

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 22, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) I don't really think he's given up anyone that "really matters". Semien? Okay. Trayce is a decent OF but it netted Frazier in return. The same guys on here that b**** that they have no prospects and don't invest in the system are the ones that are mad she they trade away the supposed s***ty prospects that they never had to begin with. No beef with his trades at all. Made complete sense at the time they were made.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 22, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Sure. We knew the team that was built with the funds provided though. Their best player has sucked all season. I'm laying the blame squarely on him until it changes. Problem is all the other free agent offensive players they have brought in have been horrific offensively. Happens far too often with the Sox.

Way to pull the ball Sands

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 22, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Back to back XBHs? Wow. Both which were seemingly caught in the previous week, so maybe fortunes are changing

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 22, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) Rodon has given up 1 run through 4 innings and people are criticizing he, Hahn, and Ventura. This offense is and has been an issue. Lay the blame where it should be laid. Isn't that on Hahn?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 22, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) bruh they haven't won a game started by someone other than Chris Sale in weeks, not the right time for this tried schtick. my name twin flavum is a great poster. he's not trying to troll or anything

omg it didn't stay in the park!

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) The whole front office including the owner need to go, Hahn right now is the only guy I would give a pass to. What in the world has he done to get another season after this? So far, his tenure has been abysmal. No results on the field and farm system is garbage.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) Not saying they should rely on them...all I said was it would be nice to see a homerun from someone in the lineup today. 7 of the 9 hitters in the lineup have 2 or less homers on the season. That is beyond pathetic. How Steverson kept his job after last season is still a mystery to me.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 22, 2016 -> 06:49 PM) Melky. Sands has some power. Eaton has some power. Lawrie has known to crush one every once in a while. There are more people in this lineup who can hit a bomb than Frazier. Relying on Melky and Eaton for power is a recipe for failure. Relying on Sands to hit bombs vs a power righty is laughable. This team hasn't hit a homer on this home stand.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 22, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) This team is mentally f***ed right now. It's the same script each game it seems. Amazing how many two strike hits they allow

QUOTE (ronkark @ May 22, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) All we're short is a 4 starter, a 5 starter, a lefty specilist in the pen. An elite set up man. A lefty power hitter. A quality pinch hitter utility player. Power bat off the bench. And prospects that will net anything in a trade. other than that, we're good to go. Well said, the free agents flopping have exposed how mediocre the talent level on the team is.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) Lineup with Sanchez and Sands not going to score. Sanchez strikes out so much for someone with no power. He is just not a big league hitter. He's the offensive version of Erik Johnson.

Just seems like a lineup where every other hitter should be batting 9th in an average lineup. Instead they are batting 5th or 7th

Seen this outing before.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) Will be interesting to see how Ventura approaches Lawrie. Those two have a history with each other... I'm guessing he strikes him out

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) 0-2 fastball down the middle... Come on, Rodon. That's on the pitch selection. No reason to not be a slider.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 22, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) Just f***ing awful melky Not adding a lefty power bat after LaRoche quit was inexcusable. Nothing like clean-up hitters at end of May with 2 homers.

I just don't get not playing Rollins vs LHP yesterday and then not playing your best defensive SS today with A lefty Sox starter. The last two weeks is reminding me way too much of last two weeks of 2012.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 22, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Hope the Indians have to wait out the rain in Boston for hours and then play 19 innings. Just pray they play so Sox miss Salazar
