Managers receive too much credit and too much blame. It just comes with the job.

Yep, baby steps. Can't go from the worse to the Yankees in one giant leap.

The pitching continues to be better than most years. But we leave more people behind than the CTA.

It's a tradition.

Whoa, a weeks worth of offense in one day.

I actually like the ads on here now. I'd rather look at T shirt fails than baseball fails.

Cut and paste that until October.

Liam came because of TLR.

Philly/KC/Oakland/CTBNL They have gone east coast to west coast, now they can work their way back.

It should be a warning ☢️

I'm going to work. We adjusted the schedule and the entire school will be going outside.

I agree they will be out, but you don't get to this point by giving up that easily. I think we get fooled by the emotional outward signs. Sports psychologist generally try to move players away from the emotional outbursts of throwing helmets, punching walls, etc that we were conditioned to believe were signs of players trying. Instead we should see steady, focused, one pitch at a time, non emotional, playing. They may not be very skilled players, and many will be out of the league soon, but my guess is it will be their ability not lack of trying, ending their career. That lack of ability, physically and mentally, will sometimes be seen as a lack of trying when they hesitate, slow down, etc. I am seeing inept, old, less skilled players out there, but so far I'm seeing trying. But it's the Sox, they could decide they want to quiet quit and end their careers.

Players or front office? I believe the players are trying. It's their chance to try and start in the show. They ain't tanking for JR.

Careful, that sounds like a challenge that could win.

I was speaking in general terms. Connie Mack (or insert your favorite manager) isn't going to get this team to win 80 games, but the losses would be closer.

Or he kept it from being a three or four run per game differential that we were expecting.

And we didn't think it could get worse.

If that the same Jerry you're always taking about?

He's going to be the Doug Collins of baseball.

Is there a expected wins based on runs given up? I could see them being protected to win 81 games based on runs given up but only winning 55.

0-3 The defense is improved from last year. They aren't getting blown out. A couple injuries in the "cold" weather. Overall about what we should have expected.

I'm actually shocked they weren't blown out in any game. We knew they weren't going to score runs but they aren't giving up a ton either.

I wonder what the record is for most times being swept

I'm wearing a pink ribbon in support.
