QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 11:20 PM) Of course they didn't score there...of course. Cleanup hitter on 6-16 has one homer

Farmer and DJ trashing Eaton already. They hate this team.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) Jurassic World was awesome. Everything I was looking for. Yep, thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the inclusion of the new dinos

I have a hard time picturing Abreu making the throw from 3rd to 1st with his swollen finger.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) I wonder if that information doesn't get leaked last year, if no one ever knows the hack even happened. I would say no chance

Listened to Bernstein and the Score legal expert. Can't believe people are actually pushing for a postseason ban for the Cardinals.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) If that's the case then they're not "underachieving", they're a terrifically poorly assembled team and a gigantic waste of money and development time. This is looking very possible, and again I love your point about how their lack of patience set them back in a big way. I think some of the players have significantly regressed, but they're still underachieving (for example, Alexei not only has lost bat speed and range, but he's making stupid defensive plays as well).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) Just to point out again...this massive of a failure does not happen randomly over an entire MLB season. If that's the case (and I'm not sure it is), then there is a systematic problem with something other than the talent on the field. That could be leadership, that could be preparation, that could be something else...but that does not happen to an entire roster by chance. It could if the talent level is mediocre due to age and/or regression. There are legitimately 5 players on the team right now that could easily be DFA'd/demoted based on their performance (Danks, Noesi, Bonifacio, Flowers, Sanchez).

You could have Derek Jeter leading this team with the greatest manager of all time (Bobby Heenan), and they still would suck. When probably 80-90% of your roster is underachieving, you're not going to win a lot of games.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) Everything keeps turning up Cubs Watch the Cards get a playoff ban

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) Lance Lynn to the DL for the Cardinals. They've now lost Wainwright and Adams for the season, and they have Holliday, Lynn and Walden out for an extended period of time. Hamels and Howard continues to make a lot of sense for them. And Rosenthal out with arm tightness now

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 03:00 AM) It is not working no matter how much smoke the Sox management try to blow up our ass. Tonight's lineup had no chance of scoring more than a run or two. Just too many holes right now with a lack of talent in AAA to fill all the gaps.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 01:57 AM) Cubs calling up Schwarber Quite the year for their fans so far.

Easily worst game of the season. Trifecta of bad pitching, defense and hitting. Changes need to be made with this roster.

Watching highlights from early in the game, it still pisses me off how many fastballs Rodon threw. The Pirates swung and missed a ton of offspeed pitches yesterday vs Hamels. Not sure why the game plan was so reliant on fastballs early in the count.

This team is playing bad enough that people will lose their job. Hahn needs to be accountable for some of these holes he left coming into this season. I don't necessarily think he should be fired, but he needs to shake things up.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 02:14 AM) I keep hearing the Sox can't do the full scale rebuild like the Cubs but at this point, I'm all for it. This team isn't going anywhere anytime soon. If you rebuild, you better have good talent scouts and developers

Had a chance to listen to Farmer and DJ. Holy cow do they hate this team. DJ was saying how the 1994 team he was on would have never had so many poor at bats as this team, as he seemed to be questioning their focus.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 12:49 AM) He has taken a sizeable step back this year. It's really a shame. With the shaky defense, his offense was going to carry him, but a .700 OPS season is just brutal from a guy considered an easy top-100 prospect. Unfortunately, it's been a disappointing year so far on the farm. There's no one that I can say with confidence will be a starting infielder/outfielder/catcher/pitcher down the road at the big league level. Montas and Danish still have a lot of doubters in terms of their ability to start.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 11:52 PM) We might as well try Leury, Saladino, Davidson, Micah and Sanchez in different combinations from 3B to 2B until we've eliminated nearly all of them from being legitimate 2016 options. or just give Johnson and Davidson as many at bats as possible if the Sox sell off the veterans. Guys like Saladino and Garcia are highly unlikely to play big roles next year.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 12:48 AM) Sucks it's gone this way but this team is awful, the run differential tells the story. The games they win are mostly close, many of the losses are blowouts thanks to the offense. Clean house. I know this is surprising from me, but I don't even blame Ventura for this mess. The players just flat out suck this season on this team. Never seen a group of veterans just all underachieve like this in the same year.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 12:44 AM) Davidson needs to be playing 3B soon for the sox unless they trade for someone I don't think Davidson will hit over .200, but if he can play good defense and hit 16-20 homers in a season, I think I would take that at 3b over the current platoon.

This lineup vs Liriano has definite no-hit capability. Just not a lineup you can expect to compete.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 11:40 PM) Johnson, Beck, and Micah should be getting playing time too as well I assume it will happen once Samardzija gets traded. Plenty of time left for development, as that seems inevitable.
