f***ing ump calls that pitch like it should be and it's 2-1 count. f***ing BS.

Robots.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) Did Johnson just strike out Martinez with a ball right out over the heart of the plate? How? velocity.

So uh, EJ looks kinda good.

well i'm back from the gym and not at work so I'll be a little calmer for this one. Thank f***ing god RV didn't cost them the 1st game.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:53 PM) Not just on Robin/Albers/Duke, but the offense at well for leaving so many runners on. Would help not bunting with your best hitter at the plate and nobody out.

I pray they win this game and someone starts to realize that the Sox have a good team this year, or at least a solid one, and you cannot be f***ing around with a s*** manager like RV.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) He thought the Sox had the game won w 6 outs left. Second time he's made that mistake this year and he's getting burned again. + a million. YOU DON'T MANAGE ON HOPE.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Robin's just the worst. He doesn't have the same excuse he had in Texas, which is the bullpen was tired. He simply didn't use his best guy in another high leverage situation. It's f***ing lazy and hoping for the best. this is my new sig.

lmao, now Jones is warming! So, you were gonna use him but not until the lead was almost blown? Words cannot describe how moronic RV is.

Great job RV! Now, you're stupid ass plan to "save" the pen has resulted in burning through Albers and your closer, assuming you even hold the lead! FIRE THIS f***ING MORON.

RV is lucky the players this year are better than average.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Duke should not have been used in the 7th, it is as simple as that to be honest. Albers should have been used in the 7th and Duke to start the 8th with Jones waiting just in case. Exactly. RV can't manage his way out of a paper bag. I'd rather have Ozzie. At least for all his BS, including quitting on the team, he understood the concept of bullpen leverage.

fire his ass.

how many innings is the pen gonna have to cover after they go to extra innings? f***ing stupid managing. Twice now he's tried to just PRAY and wing it and hope his reliever can go a 2nd inning. YOU DON'T MANAGE ON HOPE

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) I said you had to leave him in to get out two lefties, but I just couldn't fathom him letting BOTH of them reach base. Putting Jones in there was probably the best play...because Albers doesn't have the stuff to dominate right now. How about not using Duke like he's f***ing Rollie Fingers in his prime? If you're going to stretch anyone out in the pen it's Jones.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) Oh god not Albers.... are we trying to lose now? this is classic RV.

Don't ever go bird hunting with RV. He'll be shooting at birds in the sky while the three in the bush fly away.

RV is brain dead.

Oh look RV trying to "steal" more outs with a reliever that shouldn't be in the game. Is Jones made of glass?

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) Well, seeing as I have 300 posts I suppose I am fairly new, yes. And I don't endorse awful coaching, as I actually would disagree with many of the decisions that have been made in this game, but they are winning. So just enjoy the fact that they are up by 3 and probably aren't going to give the lead up. welcome to the forum. game threads are like an emotional free for all. Reason isn't always the priority, nor should it be imo.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) Who said that? Carlos hit that hard but right at him. If he's going well that lands in the gap or in the corner. Can't knock him he got the fly ball just hit too hard. That's on the 3rd base coach. deserves is a little strong but if they blow this lead certainly nobody will be happy. Game should be put to bed.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) 7 runners on base in the last two innings, zero runs. any people want it to be all peaches and cream. f*** that s***. This is how games are lost.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) You're an angry elf. are you new to the game threads? Do you endorse god awful coaching? Seriously, nobody here should be anything but PO'ed this game hasn't been put to bed. The indians have f***ING TRIED TO GIVE IT AWAY!

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) Should be about 10-3 right now. stupid baseball is becoming a theme.
