The Mighty Mite

Because it was a great swing, I hope Robert paid attention on how to go down and get to the baseball.

I thought that was gone.

C’mon, let’s get those runs back.

We needed a tested veteran manager instead of a guy who is going through OJT but when you have a cheapskate owner that’s what you get.

It’s our pitching that’s been the big culprit this past week.

Here we go.

My guess there will be some intense work going on in the off season but I like Meidroth at 2B, let’s go with Sosa at third.

One week ago we led 5-0 and blew it, don’t blow this one.

I don’t get the bunt, the pitcher’s getting hammered and you bunt. My guess Venable called for the bunt because you know Baldwin wants to swing the bat. I’m not a fan Venable.

Those sidearm throws aren’t working, they all wind up on the 3B side of second.

Only difference was Borchards was more right-center.

Another bomb by Monty, 452 feet, Sox up 3-0.

Sosa puts us up 2-0 with bomb over the bullpen in LF.

Baldwin with another error in left field but no damage, that kid needs to work on some things.

I thought he attended a game for some kind of honor.

You are correct, Minoso and Sievers both had a very good 1960 but that was Minoso’s last good year, both Minnie and Sievers were traded after the 1961 season. Freese had a decent 1960 but was a horrible 3rd baseman and was traded after the season for Juan Pizarro who gave the Sox some good years, the joke about Freese was that the fans sitting in the low boxes beyond first baseman were in grave danger from all his bad throws and they needed to wear batting helmets. I liked Barry Latman and after he was traded for Herb Score went on to have a mediocre career finishing with a career losing record but he might have done better with the Sox and getting Score was a wishing and hoping trade as Score was never the same pitcher after getting hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald in 1957.

It’s amazing how teams go into hitting slumps with everybody forgetting how to hit, we’ve seen it happen many times all over baseball and will see it many more times, so frustrating.

Everybody on the planet knew that the third pitch would be the same as the first 2, Robert just can’t adjust to that pitch, has to go down and hit that pitch to right field. We had chances in the last 3 innings and have bupkus.

Good stuff.

Lefty/ righty BS plus injuries.

What da hell are you talkin about?

Quero is out of sync.

How many doubles has Cleveland had so far in this series?

Yep, Frank Lane and Chuck Comiskey were the architects of those Go Go years. Those trades of Cash, Battey, Callison, Romano and Mincher by Veeck will live in infamy. Despite those trades, new GM Ed Short after Veeck sold to Arthur Allyn made some great trades and the Sox had their 3 best consecutive years ever in 63, 64 and 65 winning 94, 98 and 95 games those 3 years. I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Dorothy Rigney had sold to her shares to brother Chuck instead of to Veeck. Eventually my guess is Comiskey who wasn’t very wealthy probably would have sold by the time free agency came around.

I went through both of his Sox ownerships and I still have mixed feelings.
