Eaton continues to look great at the plae

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 02:00 AM) Just tuning in - has he looked that bad? Looked good first 3 innings and then looked like Arnie Munoz in 4th and 5th

Samardzija's next game will be against Cubs. Be interesting if he throws at any of them.

4.62 ERA now. Bassitt is a better pitcher this year.

QUOTE (L. Ron Paultard @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:40 AM) Like I said, I rarely get a chance to watch the Sox -- but in a strange way that helps to make panoramic, comparative observations. And it's the one thing that almost instantly, constantly jumped at me: just how stupid, horribly prepared this team is virtually in every aspect of the game. It is noticeable not just in every series, we're talking about practically every inning -- if not even single pitch/play! Just speechless. Cubs were a similar way two years ago, and now they are so much better managed despite 4 rookies.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:39 AM) Ok, then you are giving up more valuable pieces from the minor league system. Melky and Robertson are fine and produce enough that they can be part of this. Just have to continue to bring in the players that they think can win with. Preferably a 3B. I was fine with them using Danish and Montas as trade bait, as I think both are going to be relievers

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:39 AM) RV has not improved as a manager from day 1. Time to move on. It's not that he has improved or regressed. It's more that the team continues to play awful on a consistent basis since they choked in his first year

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) He has had one really good year in his career. He has lived off his football career and hairsyle for years. Don't forget he's type of pitcher that new age stats will like more due to not walking many and getting strikeouts. He also always seemed to fade big time as a starter as the season went on prior to last year

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:34 AM) Ok, how were you going to improve the club then? Ones showed decent stuff last year to earn that 5th starter spot until Rodon came up. Take minor steps this year instead of making it an all-in type year which made next year harder to compete due to less available payroll. Personally, I would have liked to see a starting pitcher brought in that wasn't a one year rental

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) Which is the dumbest argument you can make, if it isn't his fault, how is replacing him going to mean different results? You don't fire your accountant beccause your landscaper does a crappy job on your lawn. Because I want to see if someone else can get them to play smarter than this pathetic team.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:30 AM) Please tell me what you wanted Hahn to do this off season, please. Not use a significant amount of resources on a team that had far too many holes to buy players. I never thought Samardzija was a good fit at all. He should have never gone into the season counting on Noesi and Conor.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:28 AM) Clearly Robin's fault Soto got picke off. My bad. Not his fault, but when the team consistently makes Little League-caliber mistakes, it's a lot easier to replace one guy than 25.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:27 AM) I wish they'd fire him after this road trip. Him and Hahn should be long gone in two months but I'm sure both will return

Fire this manager immediately after season ends. Entire team plays like idiots

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:12 AM) Lol Shark is a bum What a truly horrible offseason Hahn had.

Nice approach by Perez. Nice to see a team with an actual game plan

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 12:09 AM) Shark just completely lose his command? What the hell No pitcher batting to save him

Samardzija gives the lead right back despite good defense. What a disappointment he's been.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 11:43 PM) Also, Hawk said Eaton had an MRI on that shoulder today. His statement was "it was probably obviously sore" or something like that. I think it's crazy for a guy to be sore enough to have an MRI on a joint in the afternoon and still be in the lineup that night. That just strikes me as nuts. If a guy has to have an MRI during the day and is that sore, he needs to sit that night. It's one night, this is literally the definition of why you have a bench. He'll probably homer later because of this comment and I don't care. You are hurt enough for an MRI, you sit, that's crazy. Totally agree

More awful at bats with RISP. Saladino is comical in the 2nd spot

Good luck relying on big game Jake Peavy tomorrow Giants. Simply awful starting pitching this series by San Fran.

Time for the Giants to pray Matt Cain retires. He's worse than Danks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 03:15 AM) Game was lost in the 8th. Saladino missed 2 hangers one he didn't swimg at, Abreu didn't swing at one and struck out on a pitch a foot outside. Saladino was a mediocre hitter for most of his minor league career. I truly hope they don't think he's the long-term answer at 3B.

The thing with Robin is that he's done absolutely nothing in his time as Sox manager to deserve another year after this. The ideal scenario would be a Dombrowski/Bud Black combo to take over for Hahn/Ventura, but we could never get so lucky.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 03:11 AM) Shuck going on the DL brought up doubleT, Bonifacio going on the DL brought up Leury. Wow, that's completely my fault and explains why he hasn't been DFA'd
