elrockinMT Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 You just can't be happy or satisfied with this team and any lead they may have. It is now 5-5 because of defensive lapses and Holland giving up homers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Still waiting for any proof the Sox can develop a hitter they draft under the Bell regime Let's face it - there isn't much proof that this FO knows how to build a winning baseball team at all. My hope is that its Hahn's show (who hasn't proven himself either) , but reading comments here and there about how "Kenny loves player X" I'm not so sure. Â As for Anderson, give him time. It does take a lot of guys a couple of years, and the Sox have a couple of years. Altuve couldn't hit a lick in his first couple of years, and the Astros stuck by him. Â Wild pitch notwithstanding, Swarzak is the pitcher who has been getting the team out of jams this year. Teams are missing out not making a move for him.

greg775 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 If you were Holland, what would be your motivation to not just retire? I know $$ means everything but he might get hurt out there. He's that bad. At the very least, become a specialist who faces one lefty when needed. Surely this post isn't offending anybody. There can't be any Holland fans on this board can there? Â Â Nice to see Avi bust out. If we lose, 0-3 since the trade; Cubs 3-0. Not that that matters, but interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone that was mediocre retired, you wouldn't have the sport. But he's so bad. At least turn into a lefty specialist where you face only one batter per game. That year Dunn was hitting about .155 he did deserve the same question. A pitcher could have hit as well as Dunn and a position player could turn out the same crap on the mound Holland is trotting out there. At some point it's embarrassing. Can't believe a fan would want to subject themselves to watching Holland pitch. I guess when it's Holland, Shields and Pelfrey you have to be a huge fan of baseball to head to the Cell when they are pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narvaez was worse, but Narvaez is improving. He's also 25 v 29. Heck he had a home run today. Â Leadoff double from the 9 hole hitter, and the manager bunts to play for 1 run.
