god this made me laugh, I miss hawk NGL

I would say there's a near zero percent chance that the Sox coaches know these numbers re: Burgers speed

that's so hard to believe lol

what's this thing about Burger being a fast runner based on the stats, anyone heard this? He's supposedly in the top 15% or some s%*# (Robert in the top 11%) sounds ridiculous personally

he isn't a starter, they'll figure it out eventually. he's got all the potential to be a badass reliever and possibly closer though

yeah a new manager isn't gonna fix the deep rooted problems, it might make the fans less rabid because it would appear like they were trying to fix s%*# but as I've said already in another thread, they've had 5+ managers in the last 12 years. that's something that really really inept front offices do to save their own jobs

Why can't JR just transfer ownership to his son. I know there's a whole board making decisions about this kind of s%*# but doesn't he have a controlling stake? Ive heard repeatedly that JR makes all the decisions. Does his son not wanna deal with this? I thought people were saying that his son was gonna be controlling the team after JR is gone

I can't remember the last time they were swepped in back to back series they really are in trouble

Jim is fucking awesome. And if Jim posts here and has me blocked, ITS OK you still rock.

the only thing that would shake up the front office is JR in the ground.

Giolito stopped listening to him lololol

seems like an awesome guy to talk to/have a beer with but I agree, not cut out for commentary

odds that Grifol is really the issue here? not preparing these guys like past coaches?

PM me the deets, I don't even care how true it is, I'll be your huckleberry fathom

No salvaging this because there's multiple reasons for why they're bad. I'll be honest I never gave much thought to the clubhouse toxicity theory but it makes so much sense in hindsight. Couple that with possibly the worst major league/minor league infrastructure and a rookie coach whos literally only ever known failure as an ex-Royal, hoooo boy.

yup that was a huge ?

They'd win more games if they DFA/Traded their current roster and brought up minor league fodder. I really do agree that it looks like the clubhouse has been obliterated during TLR.

I've never seen a Sox team this bad, Been watching since 94, watching every game since 2001.

I mean they're all trash to be fair. Even Cease hasn't been going deep into games. Giolito had a decent outing I guess but they're all awful for the most part

7-18 going into the Rays series. Best case scenario 8-20, but likely another sweep. 7-21. that would mean they have lost 3 times as many games as they've won.

LOL NO THROW, burger was drawn in because of a possible bunt and the blue jays fucking owned their ineptness ?

I think Menechinos stink is still on these guys. They all lost their power stroke, it's actually fucking insane tbh
