  1. So they should have won with Luery Garcia as an everyday player and anyone who thinks otherwise is making excuses? They don't need Eloy or Robert when you have Sheets and Engle?
  2. I see a huge difference between Anderson and Garcia. I feel better with Robert in center. The line up seems much better with Eloy hitting. I think we really needed a healthy Grandal. Then we can look over the pitching. But I guess some people think much more highly of the players who stepped in for the injured players than I do. I think the bench was crap and injuries exposed just how bad it is.
  3. Welcome back to SLAM. Anyone ready for the off season? New shows streaming. Time to get some really early holidays shopping started. Books. Walk an hour instead of watching bull s%*# baseball.
  4. When people say this team is "immensely talented" ( post I replied to) isn't that what Hahn was supposed to do? I said at the beginning of the season it's a third place team so I was all in on firing him. But after Balta and others showed me that this roster, on paper, was better, I've changed my mind.
  5. Agreed. JR should do exactly what *I* want to show he cares about the fans. Without all the information fan opinions really aren't worth much. It's easy to say we should sign this guy for $8 mil and when it doesn't happen believe the owner doesn't care. The player might hate Chicago. Might have rejected $8 mil. His agent may have a better relationship with the guy in San Diego. We never know.
  6. I agree with your entire statement, but wanted to highlight these two things. Every time I read huge amount of talent, etc. I wonder why we have a Fire Hahn thread. I posted earlier about 2020 having more talent and after a few replies was proven wrong. He seems to be doing his job. This season proved to me how valuable a manager is. Folks in their 20s and 30s need competent managers or else they can't perform at their best. I believed for a long time athletes this talented could self manage like a neighborhood game. I was wrong. This failure is on Tony's shoulders. And how much I disliked this team since spring training.
  7. I think we've cut and pasted that one for thirty years.
  8. I think I want to ignore everything Sox until Saturday morning. Sleep late. Enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Maybe check on my landscaping. Detail my truck. Plan a couple woodworking projects. Then pull up the MLB app to learn if the season is over.
  9. Plenty of folks here have looked to the outfield and noticed the number of first baseman, DH players we have on the roster. I'm certain he understands the implications. Can the Twins come back and prove me right? I'm really hoping for a sweep and will gladly accept the shame and humiliation for thinking this team sucks.
  10. Nicely done. Let's cruise in on this one and hope Cleveland has a 20 inning game tomorrow
  11. Which is why I respect those guys who are average but play for 18 years and accumulate some stats and HoF votes.
  12. It just makes losing later hurt more
  13. Karma. Cleveland does the right thing and changes their name while the Sox employ domestic abusers, a serial DUI offender, and a public indecenct exposer.
  14. Like slowing down at a car wreck I keep coming back.
  15. Just fucking walk him and play for the double play.
  16. Then who you pitching in the 11th? You have to stop them twice.
