Another awful play by Abreu. He makes Frank Thomas look like a good defensive player

Yes, mgmt has to be seeing the same thing we're seeing. Wonder if they're thinking DH for Jose next season at this point.

Seems to cost the pitchers a good 2-3 runs a week with his poor plays that aren't called errors

Abreu no more 1b for you...

 

This also has to be currently one of the worse bullpens I've seen in quite awhile.

when you lose the likes a putnam and petricka your bullpen is going to take hits. If those two were around, they would be dealing with the likes ynoa, albers, and fulmer ffs.

If this manager had any stones he'd pull Abreu off of first. Immediately

just wait until next year when the sox actually get a manager

If losing those guys destroys your pen, then your GM provided the team no depth heading into the year. Same thing with having to replace the mediocre Austin Jackson with JB Shuck. Just a complete failure of an offseason for Hahn

Wonder if he has the authority.... I'm not even kidding.

Wait, Kenny Hahn said the Sox were at the top or near the top of MLB in developing pitchers

I love how Jose likes to take the first pitch right down the middle then flail at nearly every other pitch.

 

It's a pretty genius process.

I would call that false confidence.

 

 

One of the worst offensive innings you will ever see

It's an epidemic with Sox hitters this year.

Maybe they need to stay away from Cooper.

 

As of now, the Sox have struck out 11 times in 25 AB's

October 3rd, I really hope we hear the entire Sox coaching staff will not be renewed.

They always seem to have room for improvement in this area. I'm sure they can make it worse.

Has to be the case, as it's only excuse for no one being fired yet

Abreu should homer here.

Or that

The irony, and Dick Allen always brought this up (incessantly), is how much the "lift and pull" supposed strategy of Greg Walker resulted in inconsistent results (lots of blowouts either way, lots of close losses), but at least the offenses under his "regime" were average or even above average.

 

Steverson almost floats below the radar...and he even has an assistant coach, to boot.

 

Walker didn't get Fletcher until the very end. (Or maybe I'm confusing that with what the Braves did.)

 

 

 

Of course, you can also argue that having AJ, Dye, Crede, Thome, Konerko, Quentin...the results for Walker SHOULD have been much better, comparatively.

Actually I hope by October 3rd we hear the whole front office will be sent packing. They created this mess.

At least he jogged into first base allowing them to turn the DP...

Has to conserve his enter to dive and miss grounders tomorrow

Indians look to be good the next few years

 

Would've been nice to offload Robertson's contract at the deadline then slot Burdi into the setup role next year. Then we might've had the money to sign two top FA's. Would've saved $17 mill for next year with Duke and Robertson gone.

 

But then we traded for Shieeeeelds even though we get Danks off the books.
