Sox aren’t going after Rendon. He’s awesome, but pretty sure the infield and DH spot is set in their eyes.

They're going to have to find someone to play 2b next year. They won't spend the money on Rendon since he's too good but they're going to have to add someone, after where this season went with Yolmer and Rondon.

I heard the same interview.  Take a look at his arm climb and motion and compare it to last year.  Mental issues didnt all of a sudden change that to a short arm action.  

I'm just reporting what Giolito said. I have no inside information on the situation.

Yep.  Giolito was interviewed during this very broadcast by Benetti and said he worked on changing his delivery all offseason.  And this is what he was crediting his success this year to most of all.

Why are you swinging for the fences? Get on base

I just don't understand how Lopez could be pretty good last year but absolutely awful this year.

Some Tiger fan is saying I don't know how McCann was awful last year and he is so good this year.

“Robin is a really good manager,” said team captain Paul Konerko, who was considered for the job before the Sox offered it to Ventura. “He’s good at this. But I also think that Robin is one of those guys who -- in the right way -- he knows baseball is not everything.  I respect that, because he can do this. He can probably do this for as long as he wants. But I don’t think he identifies who he is with baseball. So if he doesn’t want to do it, that’s fine.”

Players rarely say, this guy fucked me up.  I had to go outside and fix this with my own coach.  But thanks for helping me with my emotions.  I mean really do you think that lots of players on the Sox thought Robin was a really good manager.  Sometimes they just say things for the press.  

Nats bullpen is suppose to be bad right?

Rainey has a great arm. At least the first inning was good.

But absolutely sure Ricky is not a major league manager.  Awful.

I felt sorry for the way St. Theo treated him

Not anymore.

He is a tank manager.

How can we have a team with Rodon, Rendon, and Rondon? 

We shouldn't.

We win 6 of 7 and we started forgetting how crap ass half this roster still is.    Long way to go.   Only concern is that Rick Hahn is very slow at moving the chess pieces.

Great post

After Ricky waved the white flag. looks like the players have followed suit. 

A few more games like this and both Colome & Abreu will be on the trading block.

Nats should rethink their 2 strike strategy with abreu

I turned the game off, but this is the end of the line for Reylo (with me). Dude doesn't have what it takes. Total loser!

At least he has a role.  He’s very good at acquiring top draft picks.

They should have been regardless. Especially Colome. This team isn't going anywhere with only 1 good starting pitcher. Hot streak be damned.

The way the Sox are structured.they should already be . sad but true!

Colome should have been on the block regardless of how things went.  Abreu too but I’m not sure what he can reasonably net in a trade.  Trade both and resign Abreu in the offseason if he will accept a reasonable short term (2-3) year deal.
