Hahn put this roster together, so to a certain degree, Ricky is just playing with the toys he was given. The problem is, Ricky also doesn't understand how to play the game with the toys. They both need to be shown the door along with guys like Mazara and EE. Do you remember when that fucking idiot Hahn said they wouldn't sign stop gap veteran free agents? Then continued to do that the last two years, for literally no reason. There was no reason to sign a guy like EE when we have multiple guys that could fill that roll and put up better production for far cheaper. It's just comical at this point. It won't matter how much talent we have if the coaches around them don't know what to do with them, or the fucking GM filling that roster out with garbage signings that hamper or hold back other prospects.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hahn should be fired for the trade. Not because of who they traded, but who they traded for. There was no excuse for it.

Dude has no business playing the field. His bat can't carry how shitty he is out there.

His home run calls are the absolute worst. However, just not having Hawk call them, is going to be a huge downgrade, no matter who is calling them. But, aside from that, he's good. I'd rather have some false WAY BACKS, because when one goes over and the YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD YES happens, it's even more awesome.

So, real talk. Has a Sox shift ever put the defense in the correct spot? More often than not, it seems like if they had just played straight up, they would have been in the correct position to make the play.

LOL at Stone, saying he was sitting on that slider since 2010.

I should have clarified, it's all the rage to watch. A complete pain to do. I don't think people care who is doing the speed run, they just enjoy watching them, hence why I agree there is very little glory or money in it. But I'm sure some Twitch speed runners make decent money from doing it. But watching someone practice is boring as fuck. That's why the Games Done Quick is so popular, because generally you aren't seeing all the trash they practiced to do what they are doing. And for some games, there might literally be one or two people who actually speed run it, just trying to set a new world record. More people watch it than take part for sure.

I am a gamer. What I dislike is new games having achievements and such with speed running in mind. It's one thing to do it to a game like Mario, or Contra. Another story completely to find some stupid way to beat and RPG in ten minutes. But speed running seems to be all the rage these days.

Speed runs are dumb, but Buehrle is awesome.

I remember the Sunday lineups well. But how much of what we remember was just bad players on the roster who had no business being there? In '05 his Sunday lineups went 16-10 and had the same winning percentage the team ended the season at. In '06 they were 14-13. So slightly worse, but still not sub .500. Sure there might be better ways to rotate your Starters and get them rest over the course of the season, but a lot of that has to do with roster construction. Did Ozzie put guys like Wise on the team? On that same note, did Ricky put guys like Delmonico on the team? I don't think Ozzie is the answer, but I do know that Ricky isn't it either.

When I said earlier that I was hoping to see someone else in the 3-4 hole, this isn't what I meant. Holy hell Ricky.

Would really like someone else in the 3-4 hole please. Shit has to change.

Grandal doesn't call a good game. Sure he can frame it. Lovely. Bet you McCann is in for tonights game and it's day and night for the pitching staff.

Hoping Grandal calls a decent game tonight.

TA looks lost. Grandal hasn't shown much. But it's only three games in. It will get better. Go get em tomorrow.

The baseball gods do their thing.

0-8. Great number 2 hitter right there.

Is Grandal calling the pitches? I know the pitchers are missing their spots, but the selection is terrible.

0-7 no hard hit balls. Bat him 2nd! Lol Ricky

Plays for the Twins, so yea, 100%.

He looks scared out there or like he's going to cry.

Lopez is not good.

He'll be fine. I just don't want him batting 3rd.

Renteria in mid season form.

Good thing we have Delmonico on the team. Big woof.
