Stop walking the 9th hitter

EE gets at bats because our wonderful GM can't stop signing shitty stop gap veterans.  Even after he came out and said they weren't going to do that.  Then he proceeded to do just that the last two years.  EE doesn't get released because Hahn doesn't want to admit yet another failure of a FA signing. 

It's not his fault Ricky keeps playing him with better options. 

Luv to see a guy hitting .183 with an OPS under .600 get on base 4 times in a huge game

I really wanted Edwin to break out. I’ve always liked him. But enough is enough. Can’t be starting him everyday, especially not in a production spot. 

I loved the signing at the time. But he's fucking done.

And a RF with no homers.  Kind of amazing the offense is as good as it is.

Yoan underperforming, Edwin and Nomar non-existent. I know Abreu and probably Anderson are over performing right now (not by nearly as much as the others are underdoing it), but this offense would be absurd if all of those were at their usual levels.

I expected more out of Encarnacion. He can still show you the power but it’s not very consistent. I wasn’t sure about Mazara though. I think the Sox became infatuated with him after he hit that 500 foot homer against us

If this goes to extras and we lose a 12 inning bullpen game and EE goes 0-5 while a 900+ OPS guy just rots away on the bench, well then.

I dont see how Hahn hasn't released him yet to be honest. you're paying him for what, to lose you ball games? makes zero sense.  

3rd walk of the 9 hitter...

We literally had negative production out of RF & DH spots last year and Hahn still couldn’t find a way to get positive production.  I don’t blame him for the Edwin signing, but regardless it is an impressive feat.

There is still (barely) time to fix this, by calling up an actual hitter first, in Vaughn...

I for one look forward to our pursuit of a real RF this offseason.  What old dude will be out in RF with numbers based on the previous decades body of work.  

Brantley, but hopefully he holds up better

RR should use McCann Or Engel off the bench as a substitution in those situations. Oh well, hopefully they will learn from that. 

I am waiting for Cishek to start warming in the pen.

They will somehow call his 8 HRs this year the equivalent to 21-22 HRs in a regular season and pick up his option next season unfortunately...

Another damn walk

Amazing night for Hahn’s offseason additions.

Yes...MORE walks.

Back to back walks

It absolutely is.  He put the roster together.  If you don't want RIcky to play with the broken toys, you throw the toy away.

Wow Gio...way to not do your job.

There’s not a chance in hell they bring him back

Gio has no use on this team
