I think adam Laroche needs Jobu... I'm sure he will reveal this at "faith" night.

the incompetence of Robin Ventura strikes again... great guy though

uhh the other night he had some serious ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ material going while talking on the air. Hopefully when he does his color commentary its a bit more animated.

even after recent slide still 3.5 back... need another winning streak if we are capable.

No thanks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) Nice. I despised Melky signing and despised him as a player, but I'll give him his due, now. He's been the No. 1 reason for the resurgence, along with defense, of course. If the team had infield defense like this the first two months and change, I think the Sox would be firmly in front for the wild card. A lot of people were down on Melky and I understand for the most part.. but it was kind of funny because even then Melky was hitting 250 with the occasional line drive... The rest of the team couldn't get close to doing that.

danks 6 wins... Sale 9 wins... something about that isn't right.

at least Tank can hit home runs... Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate.

Never understood what people see in Garcia... He runs well for a big guy... but that's it really. No power, no concept at the plate. I think people thought it meant something that he looks like Cabrera in Detroit.... I can't think of any other reason.

Kind of expected this tonight.. Sale crapping himself was not expected.. and what really hurts.

Hawk can STFU now... Rodon still had plenty of chances to get out of this inning. Rodon is young and has good arm... but this "legendary" slider he is supposed to have... not seeing it.

Yes get Cespedes and let LaRoche hit the bench.

I knew this was going to happen tonight... I think we all did. Sale just hasn't been as dominant as he was earlier this year and we were due for a bad night. The next few days will be very telling to if this team has truly turned it around or not.

I guess as a manager you don't want to burn out your bullpen... and Chris Sale is your ace. But you could just see he never really had control tonight. I don't get leaving him in. I don't think it had anything to do with the line drive.

Its actually 2 out of 3 bad starts since the all star break.

Sale needs to get his S*** figured out. We aren't going anywhere with out him.

Robin is still Robin. But more worrisome is that Sale is not Sale lately.

I don't get our coaching staff sometimes

Sale hasn't been as good his last few starts... I was worried about this.

It looks like it might rain but the scattered type. Likely that they get it in.

Chances are we would never Face Toronto in a one game playoff.. unless Houston or LA collapse. That trade does help Toronto quite a bit.... however even with that they have 3 bad starters and 2 good ones with a suspect bull pen (though their bullpen era atm is similar to ours). I commend them on their efforts... it might pay off but their pitching is still weak. There defense is also at the bottom of the league.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) Pretty good chance if we make the one game wild card that Sale wouldn't be pitching it. Explain this.... because Stone and Hawk were saying how tough the Sox would be in a 1 game wild card because the opposition would have to face sale.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) This would be great, but it's not very realistic. If we do trade for a bat seems like it would have to be an outfielder or DH... maybe 3B I personally don't think we will trade for anyone but Cespedes makes as much sense as a lot of guys.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:39 PM) Where would LaRoche go? To the bench or traded for a pack of smokes.

I say we trade for him. Move Melky to DH
