Didn't look healthy at all in his last AB on Thursday. Hopefully he's good to go by this coming Monday. If he goes on the DL, I have no clue who would replace him on the roster.

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ May 22, 2015 -> 04:19 AM) Blah... We just dropped 3 of 4 at home to a team that entered into the series with a 13-22 record. RV has to go. Before firing Ventura, I would can the hitting coach first to see if someone else can help these hitters. It's unimaginable that 8 of them could be underachieving this much.

The other offseason champion, the Padres, look just as bad as the Sox. Matt Kemp is terrible, and they have some gigantic holes at 2b and SS as well

Hendricks throws a shutout and Bryant/Russell homer. I don't like how this baseball season is going so far

Ha, Flowers almost concoursed it

Avi hobbling a bit on way back to dugout. Can't afford him and Abreu being banged up.

Scrabble making LaRoche look silly. Hitters just have had no plan at the plate this series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2015 -> 03:50 AM) That has to be Garcia. Gillaspie's probably fairly close...right in that neighborhood. It's Abreu. Conor is one of the lowest rated 3b in baseball.

Real nice job by Carroll

Not including LaRoche, the Sox have one player in the top 18 at their position in terms of WAR.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2015 -> 03:30 AM) Seems like not too long ago we were talking about Thompson, Barnum, Hawkins, Trey M., Davidson, Wilkins, Black, Kevan Smith as potential power sources.... Even if they do have power, what will their K and BB rates be? I'm almost missing the excitement of a random Viciedo hot streak. The Sox absolutely miss having someone that can carry them for a week. Only a few options on the current team, and Avi just showed how important it can be. Mor

Another called 3rd for Flowers

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 22, 2015 -> 02:20 AM) Team has plenty of it. Seems like there's a big lack of power in the minors as well. Not quite sure why that is.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 22, 2015 -> 02:19 AM) Really like to stay away from Jay Whys that

Warning track power galore

Salazar has just as good of stuff as Kluber

Just put LaRoche at 1st way more often

Bad base running by Melky

Kiley McDaniel has reported there are two teams with a high pick that refuse to draft a pitcher coming off a serious injury. It wouldn't shock me if the Sox were one of them.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 22, 2015 -> 01:35 AM) Time to wonder is Minn going to sweep again against the hitless wonders. Sox have big 3 going. If they get swept, then the season is just about over. Can't be falling 8-10 games behind excellent KC and Detroit teams.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 22, 2015 -> 02:27 AM) I could not agree more. This franchise is sorely in need of that new vision you mentioned, a house cleaning, as you suggested, and an overall new strategy. What Reinsdorf has employed during the last 35 years just hasn't worked, it's left our fan base dormant, and completely wasted the potential of a big market ball club. If this season tanks, it's going to be quite difficult for the organization to get fans excited again heading into a season. I don't think we can assume they will spend a fortune every offseason like they just did.

Alexei's bat speed has gone bye bye.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 22, 2015 -> 01:22 AM) What are you saying? I think they will finish higher than the Sox and Twins. Indians are finally healthy outside of having a 5th starter.

Indians have some pitchers with amazing stuff. I guarantee they won't finish in last in the division.

Sox hitters chasing everything with 2 strikes
