Sox80 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 It always seems to go back to the sox aren't smart enough to compete with the elite team's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 You live and die with the over-aggressiveness that TA has at the plate. It works when no one is on base, and he can swing freely. But not so much, in that situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I waver right now between the anger and bargaining stage as I'm realizing they aren't good enough and probably will never be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Are these guys being taught how to be patient up there when they aren’t throwing strikes and just take a walk for the team? They look like they are always in a hurry to get out of the inning and just pressing. Edited May 13, 2022 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elite teams all have just as good if not better talent than the Sox. Against the best teams is when everything the Sox do poorly on the margins really starts to get magnified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of our hitters have problematic hitting approaches. We're gonna need one hell of a hot streak at the right time to win a championship.

Well, we did let the player who looked the best on the Sox vs the Yankees last year leave and didn’t replace him (Rodon). But hey, look out AL Central!

Balta1701 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just in case - if anyone ever cites Cease’s BABIP as suggesting he’s been unlucky this year I want us to point back to this game thread as why it wasn’t luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have changed so many things and who knows if they would have been successful with A Rod here. They also definitely would have dealt him like Texas imo.
