fathom

Hawk saying the hitting coach tells them what to do, and once the game starts, they can't do what he told them.

Awful at bat by Flowers. Just has no plate recognition.

Avi not even trying to pull the ball

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) A little off topic but why the hell are aces giving up so many long balls this year? Sale and Scherzer? Max with 3 today! CarGo has gone insane

Shocking that Peavy looks awful in a big game

Nice at bats this inning. Alexei with nice swing.

Nice at bat by Beckham! Has to be difficult with basically sitting on the bench for the last 3 weeks.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 07:46 PM) Guess we're just going to keep getting swept along. This season can't end fast enough for the offseason. Doubt we see near the activity that we did last offseason

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Thompson only had 39 RBIs in AAA? Well he was hitting behind Mr. 210 (Davidson)

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Most of these players shouldn't be back either Thanks to Hahn, they will be. The two worst (LaRoche and Danks) for sure will be back.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) No way KW, RV and Hahn can all return in 2016. If they all return JR deserves 5,000 a night at the game. Shame on front office for being so stupid at trade deadline. Shock the went on a losing streak......NOT! Cooper's bunch continues to massively underachieve

This team is a freaking joke. None of these coaches should be back next year. If your front office makes the decision to go for it at the deadline and not be sellers, coming out as flat as they have since the deadline is unacceptable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 06:28 PM) Hosmer doubles into right field, outfielders had given him a lot of space in right center, Trayce bobbled the ball a bit while trying to avoid colliding with Avi, 1-0 Royals. They've been pitching away from the defensive positioning all series

These Sox pitchers are throwing like garbage

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 03:14 AM) 4.31 starting pitcher ERA. Not good. Royals are a little worse, but they do everything better than the Sox. For a team that's supposed to be built around their starting pitching, it's been a total flop.

I believe Laz was the worst rated ump last year

Cooper has not done a good job with the starting pitching.

Not even close. Laz is a pathetic umpire

What is with that awful swing Saladino takes on high pitches?

Thought that was only strike two on Eaton

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:32 AM) LaDunn last HR I think snow was on the ground. Weather has really changed in last 24 hours in KC

So what happens to Matt Davidson after this year? Does he get released? Can't see Sox bringing him back for a 4th AAA season.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 02:19 AM) Micah can hit. Can't field or stay healthy. Actually wouldn't mind giving him a chance at DH

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:14 AM) I do agree with this. I think Sanchez is fine as well as long as he can hit 240 and provide great defense. Agreed too with Sanchez, but 3b needs a dramatic improvement

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 02:11 AM) I do love Adam Eaton. You can compete with Eaton-Melky-Abreu at the top of the order. Key is filling out the other 6 spots.
