QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) Been watching the 30 for 30 doc. I honestly think OJ had CTE. The whole chase before his surrender, being suicidal, the constant mood swings. It looks like CTE. OJ might have been a wife beater (he beat his first wife too), but I'm not sure any sane person would murder people like he did. He was a narcissist that tried to get away with anything he could. When he knew Nicole wasn't going to come back to him anymore, he made her unavailable to anyone else. And he thought he could get away with it because he's The Juice. He did get away with it for a while.

The front office shouldn't be let off the hook, and Renteria isn't going to be a move to turn this season around. This season is toast because they blew a lucky 23-10 start, and aren't good enough to get that back because of the teams in the division they have no ability beating. Firing Robin now is more about not renewing a lame duck manager. His time is done here.

Best record in the AL by 3.5 games to the 11th best AL record in 41 days. It's over. Just tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday. Matter of when.

Almost 29 and bad. No. Stop spelling Shuck that way.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) No I don't think so. Plus I hope not since the team management has made some questionable decisions that affected the players going back to Laroche. The players support Ventura and canning hiom might really cause a decline. We haven't even reached the all-star break yet and are in the thick of things. The team can get straightened out Nah

The Sox fall into the bottom 5 in the league with a loss and Astros win vs Reds. The Sox had the best record in the AL by 3.5 games 41 days ago.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) Does Ventura get s*** canned if they get swept? Let's hope, but I'm at the point of not caring either way. We know he's done after this season. We know the Sox suck and won't contend. Monday or 15 Monday's from now. It doesn't matter unless they want to give Renteria a free look, so to speak.

Red Sox series: Gonzalez - Wright Sale - Buchholz Quintana - Rodriguez Shields - Porcello They'll split. I'm being nice.

Everything but Acceptance. I think the front office is in Isolation and Denial.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) He should get a pass for last night. That loss clearly is on the front office and the 5th starter they acquired. No manager was going to pull that one out of the loss pile. I think we're done micro-analyzing what is and what is not Ventura's fault. He's done either now or on October 2nd. If any of the 29 other teams want to tap into the brilliant baseball mind of Robin Ventura, they're going to have that chance.

We've seen Robin say things after games, and then plans change. Go ahead. Start him on Thursday afternoon at Fenway.

2 under .500 for the first time, believe it or not.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) So when do you fire Ventura? I'm serious when? If Fathers Day is part of the equation, they may not be there to fire him. Maybe Monday in Boston, or Friday morning in Chicago.

Lost 25 of 35 4-13 vs Cle and KC

QUOTE (ronkark @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) What the heck, I'll throw in something positive.. Love Ynoa's curveball. I give you credit for still watching.

I still can't lump Frazier with the Adams. And I don't think the NL/AL thing matters. The Sox just suck, and they bring out the suck in a lot of players. Anderson is next. Wait a month.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) What did Collins do? K on a change up

Collins up

B

Ryan Bukvich available? Omogrosso?

A 29th birthday Shuck will never forget.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) The FO deserves to get fired. So does most of the team staff. Clean house. If they fired Kenny, Buddy, Rick, Haber, and the coaching staff, who would be there to hire the people to hire? It's not a good situation right now. Train wreck.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) Why doesn't MLB have the 10 run rule again? There should be an option to call it after 7. Save pen arms for the next day and not have to use position players, which is bad trend in baseball.

Ventura should pull the team off the field, forfeit, resign, and catch a plane to California. It's over. Not all of it is his fault, but it's over.
