QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) Gee where would that come from? It's obvious that nobody plays with any sense of urgency for Robin. Ozzie had his faults (big time faults don't get me wrong) but the one thing you could say is that he almost always had his guys ready to play and would go to bat for them against the umps, other team, and media. Robin never has his guys ready to play, hardly ever sticks up for them when the umps screw up, and his media handling ability is gonna get really tested if this team is 10 under in July. Plain and simple, the team came out flat this year in what was supposed to be a huge season for the franchise. It's shocking that they're already 5.5 games back of Detroit.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) Really need to start worrying about the offense. Through today offense average down to .217 and obp at .265. 15 walks and 67ks with only 25 runs in 9 games. 2.78 runs per game. 3 players over .300, 4 players at .200+ and 6 players below .200. Not good They didn't hit or field in spring training either. I was shocked at their lack of power in ST.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) You still have to score 2. We didn't. We also scored 0 against Tommy Milone in our home opener. If we continue to score less than 3 runs a game we will have problems Be nice if we can't stop playing a DH that can't hit LHP

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) You getting ready for the fire sale already? No but better for Sox that he looks good in a loss than we lose and he does awful

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Managers, in my opinion have very little to do with the performance on the field. The players are paid to preform. A manager is paid to put his players in the best position to succeed (lineup decisions, bullpen hooks) and challenge tough plays. Robin failed at his job in a big way today. No other way to slice it. Same with Eaton bunting with two strikes

Guess I missed Samardzijas good innings. Boost that stock buddy!

Robin didn't want to lose our last timeout.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Not if ur 5 1/2 -7 1/2 games back back after two weeks in April and your franchise has been swallowed up by Kris Bryant hysteria. The Sox needed a hot start to gain some attention. They haven't gotten that and Cubs have and with Bryant up now, all the momentum from the offseason hype is absolutely gone.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) I'm not a blame the manager type of fan when it comes to performance. THAT loss is square on Robin. 5.5 games back already. Ventura two straight games with his head so far up his ass in the 9th

I wonder why we even pay for a manager. Oh well, this offense sucks

Ha, what a joke this ump is.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) Sox get 1 run in 4 innings. Offense sucks. Tigers get 1 run in 4 innings. Samardjiza sucks. Have you watched the game? Not being sarcastic, want to know if you see the meatballs he's throwing up there today.

I don't know why Samardzija is turning his back so much in his wind-up. Never did it this much when he was with the Cubs.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) another hanging breaking ball. shark sucks. Doesn't have the pitcher hitting anymore to bail him out

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 07:20 PM) Another hanger And another, this is pathetic

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) This is the shark I was expecting day one. From what we've seen so far, I have zero interest in seeing the Sox extend him.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) He's hung quite a few today He's hung probably 70% of them today. He's a one pitch pitcher this season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) He's playing with fire if he keeps hanging everything. And there it is...HORRIBLE offspeed pitches

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:16 PM) This is the shark I was expecting day one. He's playing with fire if he keeps hanging everything.

Ha, where was the 1-0 pitch to Cespedes?

Wow, Beckham!!

Just an FYI, but Sanchez with 3 errors already in AAA

Really nice play by Beckham. How about a double play??

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) We spent 4M on Emilio? He's going to be off this team by July

And another bad defensive play. Bonifacio's defense is absolutely atrocious. He's just a waste of a roster spot right now, as he's completely out of it this season.
