QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) Ventura is one of the lowest paid managers in MLB. Compared to guys like Maddon or Francona, he's a pauper. I'll take the job for half what he makes (and do a better job at it)

Gotta love Duke! (at least until the next batter)

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) Frazier afraid of going into the seats. A month ago he would have gave it ago. If he went into the seats, the runner tags and game is ova

Come on Duke.....9 pitches.....3 Ks

If we get swept in Boston, does that finally get Robin fired?

I was really hoping to hear some news on the manager status after today's game, but it's been quiet so far. Anyone know if the team has departed Cleveland yet? If Robin gets on the plane with the rest of the team, he's likely manager for the rest of the roadtrip. The organization needs to act soon or else we'll fall too far behind and Ozzie will have no chance to resurrect the team.

Bring back Ozzie. This team needs to a spark to start a fire.

I think a group session with a hypnotist might in order. It looks like Purke could use the help as well.

If Robin is just going to hang Shields out to dry, at least make him our #2 starter. Let him get the 1 run per game support and give Q a chance to collect some wins at the back of the rotation.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 05:49 PM) my statement is 100% serious. He should just retire. it's embarrassing for him. he's a shell of his former self. I think it's purely a mental problem though. As I stated earlier, get him a couple of sessions with a hypnotist and he could still be a great middle of the rotation guy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 05:40 PM) You can't fire Ventura when Hahn's even MORE responsible for this mess. We knew we weren't going to do much with Salazar. That was a given. Hahn could acquire Trout, Harper, and Kershaw......Robin would find a way to wreck their careers. Our GM is in a hopeless position when we have a manager whose only strength is ruining players.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 05:36 PM) pretty sure that we will see Shields end up on the DL after this start. The Sox FO will try to save some face for this awful trade by saying that the bad starts were due to some sort of injury. I really think a couple of visits to a hypnotist and he could turn this around and be a true value at the salary we are paying.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) More like he looks like he doesn't want to be here. Just unbelievably bad body language I don't think he wants to be on a mound anywhere when he's performing like this. Get him pitching good again and you'll see him happy to be wearing a White Sox uniform.

Why hasn't Robin ordered Shields to see a hypnotist in between starts?It's obvious he is having mental issues and any manager with half a brain would have done something about it in the past week.

Avi should be batting cleanup.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) Sox lose Q 0-7 last 7 with Sox scoring 1 run or less EVERY start. Has that happened before If so not much. Robin has got to go.

Thanks Robin. This man is always too late with the hook for starters and too early with the hook for relievers. Worst manager of a pitching staff ever.

This game was never in doubt! Congrats to Renteria. 1-0 as Sox manager!

QUOTE (Insp @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) What's wrong with the idea of our closer coming back out? I think Nate Jones has been promoted to closer under Renteria.

Duke Duke he's our man. If he can't do it, nobody can.

Lets get them in the bottom of the inning......I fear we'll see Duke if this game continues.

Could that AB for Avi in the 9th be the one that turns around his career and helps turn him into that 5 tool player we all dreamed about? I hope so!

Take one for the team Shuck

Renteria getting the job done! Bye bye Robin!
