Not sure we can continue to play a 2 basement that hits .140... 2b is an important defensive position but c'mon sometimes its where people sacrifice a little defense for hitting. Sanchez isn't the guy.

just a tiny cell if you look at the radar.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) 2nd basement? Good play on words, albeit perhaps unintentional. Statistically, that position has to rank last in the majors unless its Utley. And everything Avi contributes offensively, he cancels out on the defensive side. Yeah the basement think was unintentional... I saw it and then was like... no not fixing that it actually makes sense.

The offense was bad again. But if Shark pitches like I used to believe he is capable we win.

1. Robin Ventura is nice guy, great sense of humor - not a MLB manager. 2. Melky... WTF is going on. 3. Abreu... decent but his last two bats today were jokes. 4. .145 avg 2nd basement. 5. Shark... I really hate him at the moment he was great against the sox ... now we get him and he is a steaming pile. 6. Danks and Noesi are meat... 7 Avi has potential... but his approach is childish at the plate like many of our hitters. We don't coach like pros, we don't play like pros, we don't look like pros.. From top to bottom.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) lol. Yes, treating grown men like kids will fix everything. Never said I would to treat them like kids.

Jeff costing him self a lot of money... Up 4-1 and cant even old the lead through 6... I

Wow Jeff you are a fraud.

I guess I could never be an MLB coach because I'd have chewed both Melky's and Abreu's a** after those two at bats. These guys under ventura - its just a sleep walk. I'm sure robin talks to them like men and that's nice and all But to me these guys need someone to piss them off to wake them the eff up.

On AVI's homerun looks like the wind was blowing out to left not right.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 11:00 PM) He's had some good starts too the last two years. Noesi is much worse. Remember he just pitched a complete game recently. Danks isn't trash and we have a lot of players way worse than Danks. Both are pretty bad yes... Hector had a 4.39 era with us and 1.33 whip last year Danks was 4.74 era with a 1.44 whip last year. Noesi much worse? maybe historically but with us I'm not sure who has been worse.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) Danks is the 5th starter. If he wins every other start that would be okay. It's not just about did he win or lose its also about does he give his team a chance to stay in the game. In the end its hard for me to blame him when the team scores 1 run. But John Danks just doesn't have MLB stuff or control.

There is one pretty consistent thing this season.... Our offense is bad.

Danks needs to move to the bullpen or something... He just destroys your team every other start.. just cant do that when you are 25-28. Tired of his S***

Smoltz really knows his stuff... a lot of good numbers he has shared.

Avi needs to learn a better approach at the plate. He doesn't seem to see the ball very well... looks like he just guesses up there.

Microcosm of this offense... Beckham gets a hanger down the middle and breaks his bat...

Royals and Twins both lost again... need to take advantage.

We need Melky to come around if we are serious about getting to the playoffs. We don't have any real other options...

Pretty productive night... we won and every team in our division lost.

What a weird game...

Chuck S is the play by play guy right? Because hell of a nice guy but man.... he cant stfu and call the game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) Hahn says the meter is pointing up, I call BS on June 5 this team is DOA! This team just wants to quit you can see it... 2 hits against a 88 mph fastball. Ventura is garbage also Dick Allen.

Quintana just bugs me a lot... that walk was just such a dumb F***** walk.... that basically was the game.

Twins know how to hit.... Watch that team hit... they don't swing at every pos pitch the pitcher throws.
