this umpire sucks.. but I've seen that a lot this year.

frazier with the worst situational at bats.. but then again I've seen this for the past 3 years out of a lot of random players. This clubhouse just oozes confidence into its players.

Navarro isn't answer at catcher.. that's for sure.

mediocre my a**

The Twins are probably going to catch us.

Like many of my favorite sports teams over the year that have been god awful... I WISH I could not care... but it's not possible. There was about 5 years there where when the Sox started sucking I could tune them out and not even pay attention anymore. But I can't these days... which makes things pretty painful...

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) Regardless of everything that transpired "mired in mediocrity" was a misstep. Mired in mediocrity was a misstep.. because it's not even true. I'll admit I didn't do a detailed research.. but from brief calculations looks to me like are avg ranking of the past 3 seasons is about 20/30 teams. That's not even mediocre...

If no one would give up anything good.. then you don't do it. I'm not surprised at all. First step after this season is to get rid of Ventura.

Not really that surprised.. they pieces they had were probably two pricy for teams to pay. And if they wouldn't pay then that's the way it goes.

I'm actually not really big anymore on chasing the power hitters with high strike out rates... This hasn't worked. I'd be looking for speed with discipline who can get on base and a good staff with a lockdown bullpen (I guess the KC model). If this kid can play Defense, get on base and not be an easy out he might bring more to the table then a lot of our current guys. I'm tired of these guys that contribute nothing consistently on offense. ... we have had one of the or the worse offenses the past few years. The way we are trying to build our offense right now isn't working.

Honestly.. not really. They have tried to compete the last two years and it has failed. Manager needs to go with 75% of the roster. It's time to reboot.

kid has a good glove... but I've seen enough of him now. He just doesn't have the bat. I'd really like to see another young prospect to play... though we may not have one at the moment. But I'm expecting more trades.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) His mechanics suck at the plate. He jams himself so much, and he is unable to turn on anything because of his approach. He can't catch up to a fastball besides to occasionally slap one to right field... when he does get around on a fast ball its usually a groundball to shortstop. He pops up hanging breaking balls... Oh and he leads the majors in swinging at balls out of the strike zone....

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) Kahnle had 7 strikeouts and 9 walks in 9.1 IP. Why put him in that game? Combination of a horrible bullpen and a clueless manager. A great recipe for victory.

Kahnle is pure garbage.. time to trade him for some scissors for Sale..

11 Home runs and almost August. My favorite is the dude that said he is only hitting 20 pts below his career.... some interesting math going on there...

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) someone wake robin to try and make a statement If I'm Robin I'm getting tossed on that BS third strike to eaton... But maybe he didn't see it...

Some people really have their head buried in the sand on Abreu... It's not time to give up on him.. but not only is his bat mediocre... his glove has become horrible. Yikes

dropped his ERA from 31 to 5.17..... Keep that trend

Wow has this guy turned it around. Someone figured something out...

Well.. bullpen blow late game lead.. but win in bottom of the 9th. If it works... keep it going... Saladino has played amazing for as little as he sees the field.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) That would be kudos from the great Hahn Well half the bullpen is injured also... I mean Hahn has whiffed a lot also don't get me wrong..

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:13 PM) Thank you once again Robin. You continue to amaze me with the ways you come up with to blow ballgames. You may be the worst manager in the history of MLB. while I don't think Robin is a good manager... look at the trash he has to send out of the bullpen... When your big go to is Matt Albers... your in trouble.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Hitting him early isn't bad if he has his good stuff. I agree... we can't let first pitch fastball just go by.
