Sale is such a dip shit.

Joe Madden?!

Hope in one hand shit in the other and see which one fills up faster. That aside, it really is amazing what happens when you hit the ball in the air. One thing that I don't understand wrt to that is Jose fucking Abreu currently has the highest FB% of his career (his xwOBA is .423!) but the sox as a team are 24th in FB% and 28th in HR/FB%. Some of that is bad luck but HIT MORE FLY BALLS. How is Jose Abreu managing to buck the org's shit swing instructions? It just doesn't make sense to me how he as a guy doesn't see what's happening and try and fix it with the coaches. The coaches have some influence here, if nothing else on how guys are approaching the AB. If Jose knows the recipe for success, why doesn't the hitting coach?

first thing he's helped get in the air in a long time.

There's few things worse than being in a position to root against wins. Fuck. I can't get excited at all about this one.

it's because of the warmer weather.

Make Eloy hitting coach.

put this team out of its misery. a sweep from Detroit would do it.

it's to the point where guys are going to get hurt trying not to get hurt.

The worms get a reprieve for a day.

Can we take Dane Dunning back?

pile on the misery. fire everybody. trade lynn and giolito and Jose.

figures the guy that hasn't been around the club in a couple months knows how to elevate.

Maybe we can start a GoFundMe so Hahn can feed his family and resign.

I see you're on your weekly pivot to yelling at Sox fans while defending the FO's honor. WTF man. Fandom has nothing to do with supporting a blue blood Harvard and UM grad that has run our favorite team into the ground. Fuck Rick Hahn's professional career he's ruined our favorite team again!

Ruining his career? Come on now. It's fine, Rick Hahn enjoys the prestige and paychecks more than he enjoy professional integrity and vision. But don't expect me as a fan to sit here and slurp that up.

That's a lot of words to say (if true) Hahn is a coward who would rather cash a check than enjoy his vision of a winning baseball team. It's never been a position I find defensible from a fan's POV, although perhaps Hahn's kids appreciate it.

hahn is the type of executive that by being "risk averse" actually exposes himself and the club to more risk. there was ALWAYS risk of a big regression from some of the core position players. That's why you GO GET MORE GOOD PLAYERS rather than just hoping and wishing the guys you got are good enough to get you a one run lead, which as we've seen over and over this year, isn't good enough, no matter how many bullpen arms you bring in.

On bad baseball teams there's a lack of accountability. I'm seeing the same pattern with TLR as we did with Ventura. I won't put Rickie in that pile, although lord knows he had his own issues running a club.

he's the GM. If he doesn't like not having full power he can resign today. this line of "oh it's not hahn it's _____" is a dead end. And hahn is the guy that decided it was better to sign a million bullpen arms then improve 2B and RF enough for leads to hold up. hahn can fuck off. he did a good job with the rebuild, he's utterly failed to build on that foundation and now the entire building is on the verge of collapse.

They are the Dallas Cowboys with the Detroit Lions' resume. Helluva combo.

No clue but I was watching Julio Rodriguez play last night and he plays free and loose and doesn't worry about getting injured -- just like Robert should play. It really annoys me that the Sox have, seemingly as an entire org, planted the "don't get hurt out there" seed in the back of every guys' head. And it sure isn't helping prevent injuries, all it's doing is making for a lot of tight performances. The entire coaching and performance staff outside Katz should be broomed. In fact, I would consider making Katz the interim manager. He's the only coach that is an outsider that has success outside Chicago and he's done well with the staff no doubt. The rest of the coaches, from the sports shrinks to the training staff to the bench coaches and base coaches to TLR himself should be broomed.

I'm at the lowest point of my fandom as an adult. That's all. A very solipsistic view but one I'm sure is shared by quite a few people around 30-50.
