this year might kill jose

remember when people kept mentioning how a good 1B was going to save all those errors TA had in the minors?

 

Turns out they were half right. His throwing yips are really troubling. Jose is doing God's work over there however.

Best sequence of the year for Giolito

I know he's not good defensively, but I always felt like Jose got a bad rap over there. He's not a liability like some make him out to be

Lots of 89 that inning

Best sequence of the year for Giolito

He looked pretty good there.

89 mph right down the middle and fat boy pops it up. Haha!

Nice inning Gio. I liked the gameplan...get ahead with offspeed stuff and try to bust them in with the fastball (or finish Mauer with a down/in curve).

 

Gio stuff has been garbage most of this year, but I have liked his competitiveness. He battles.

 

NOW...add 4 MPH to that heater and spot the offspeed pitch better and we may have a Gio

Ricky Renteria might as well have been Robin Ventura this last week. Light a fire under them, come on

Funny you mentioned Robin. First mention of him in a while cause until this season Ricky was beloved. Now we're wondering WTF? I am a one-trick complainer but I'll never understand his lineup construction. Also it would have been nice to add a big booming bat this season. We are 1-2 MLB quality hitters shy of even thinking .500. We are one top starter and 2 top relievers shy of having pitching that can sniff .500.

 

I won't give up on Moncada and Avi til they mercifully get lowered in the lineup. Ridiculous to come up with them batting 1-2. Moncada is a No. 6 hitter. Avi No. 5 or 3.

Can we please get a leadoff guy on?

Automatic Out Adam

Why does he keep ducking down on pitches over the plate

I think they are good scouting minor league talent but have been amazingly bad trading/signing big league players. The draft scouting is also very questionable

 

 

I agree with this. I think we’ll know more about Hostetler in a couple years. Still early to judge him, but a couple of his picks look questionable at the moment.

 

 

They haven't made the playoffs in a decade. The FO office has been bad at pretty much everything.

I agree with everyone here. They may be "better" at identifying pro talent below the minor league level, but the trading for veterans and drafting hasn't set the bar high enough.

Because he f***ing blows a**

alright guys I'm out, workday is over, hitting the bar with some buds. go sox. and that last popout from yoan...sigh.

So basically we just got to hope that Berrios is pulled after the 7th and the Sox can get three of their bullpen.

He made contact for first time in 6 at bats....baby steps

 

So what is the over/under date on when Moncada gets yanked from the leadoff spot? I'll say Memorial Day.

Wtf is Avi looking for? Not like he's going to hit the slider. This team's plan at the plate sucks

Cinco de mayo.

Another splendid throw from outfield

Berrios looks fantastic. It feels like we're down by 10. Not 2.

where the f*** has that curve been since spring training?
