QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) Hawk seems to think it was because how many times we have been screwed by the home plate rule. Makes the catchers think way too much Ball should of been caught easy no bad hop at all.

WTH Nieto?

Hawk is right every call against the Sox at 7 to 1 odds

Carroll meatball

NYY 3-2

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) How many routine fly balls has de aza drop this year. Thanks De Aza........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hawk this team is in a funk for the 3rd straight year in August under Ventura.

Conte in mid season form.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 10:14 PM) Maybe Trestman can fire Decamillis and Tucker in his first round of cuts Would be a step in the right direction.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) melton just commented on the pattern of late season collapses. At some point RV has to be looked at in the equation.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) He gets a pass until he gets a team that should win. I mentioned it before, according to Soxtalk, the LF sucks, the CF is good but is always hurt, the RF sucks, the 3B might be OK, the SS needs to be traded, the 2B is awful, the 1B is awesome, the C sucks, the DHs and bench need to go away. The bullpen is awful, and at least 40% of the rotation is garbage. Only green sox could manage this team to 130 wins. I have no faith he can lead a good team to the playoffs. I guess we shall see.

Bears on 3rd down real bad on defense. Tucker's new D scheme looks great!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) It was a first place team because only because it was run into the ground. Youk fell apart, Dunn kept striking out, Paulie had wrist surgery and Liriano was a bust. Didn't they have a ridiculous number of rookie bullpen debuts that year? And last years team and this years team are short and not playing at full strength either. So far, none of Robins seasons has there been preseason expectations of success. Look at Joe Maddon's record before he had talent. So he gets a pass forever?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 09:40 PM) Check out the rosters then pop off. DA when is RV accountable? Had a first place team and it ran into the ground, year 2 and 3 not very good efforts and in crunch time team blows in August and September his WHOLE tenure. Not a recipe of ever playing playoff baseball under RV.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) Three seasons in charge. Three late season tank jobs. Is there any accountability? Cannot blame RV or some posters will have to bite tongues.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) I saw enough last year to not want him back this season. This defense looks so slow. Briggs is so slow anymore.

How many games in a row has Webb gave up a run 5 now. Prado has sucked al F'N year.

Webb giving up a run again tonight?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 09:25 PM) Yup, blame Robin, he's the one hitting right? He is the one with the s***ty record as a manager in August and September.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) 3 runs in the first inning... none since. Stagnant offense going on 5 games now. Team under Ventura has a bad habit of not scoring runs in August and September on his watch. Win loss record is awful.

Not a Mel Tucker fan

Nice job Putnam

He did not go

Nice pitchout
