LET'S GO WHIIITE SOOOX

Reds are trying hard. Hope we do too. Pretend that winning the division gets you to the World Series, cuz it might. 

Lol

 

F%$#&^%#$$ Mazara is not going to figure it out in a week.  Stop playing that bum and give Engel some damn at bats.  I hate being a broken record, but for crying out loud get Nomar out of the lineup.

Also 5 through 8 in that lineup are pretty damn close to automatic outs lately....very frustrating.

Wow what a shit sandwich to eat again with Mazara.  This reeks of Hahn trying to save face, which dude isn't needed you did a hulluva job nobody cares that much you swung and missed on Mazara.

Was going to say exactly this. Hopefully they can turn the corner... specifically yoyo and Robert.

Let us all pray to what ever higher powers of baseball you worship that batters 5-8 awake from their slumber and produce many a hit and many a run this evening...

I agree.  Unfortunately, I don't know if Yoan can turn the corner this season, he is just not healthy.  Robert, who knows with a rookie.

That won’t work.

Yoyo and Robert have become automatic outs.  Hope they get untracked soon or the playoffs will be short and sweet.  Timmy and Jose have been doing all the work with Grandal, Eloy, McCann, and Madrigal pitching in on occasion.  EE and Mazara shouldn't be in the lineup.  We need one of those 10+ runs games to get us back on track.

I am surprised Luis is still hitting .240.  It has felt more like the .167 that EE has produced.

Luis hit that last ball right on the button for the last out yesterday....I know but I'm looking for any light at the end of the tunnel.  We need someone at the bottom of the lineup to get hot soon.

If Mazara lights it up this last week he’ll punch his ticket here for 2021. 

Can’t expect to win anything come playoff time with 4 automatic outs in a row at the bottom of the lineup

Mazara is finished. They will target Joc on a 1 year deal.

4 automatic outs with Madrigal who should never have been drafted, and can’t hit the ball 250 next, and Abreu, who has no business batting 3rd in a major league line up, batting 3rd, he should be batting 7th, and Robert, now an automatic out should be batting  3rd, and Grandal catching.Why would Grandal be catching with James McCann on the team? I have learned a lot from gamethreads, all in a year when the Sox have been one of the best offenses in the game. Usually the more pre game complaining, the more runs are scored.

What a minute, when did you become the voice of reason?  ?

I'm trying.  Can't say its working!?

I'd rather have Madrigal bat 8th then if you are going to play Mazara. "The second leadoff hitter" be damned.
