Please reinstate KW and bring back the 2000-2008 offense that's actually suitable for GRF.

He may have had his shortcomings, and he certainly was no Roland Hemond, but the Sox were much more enjoyable to watch during the KW years than since Hahn took over.

Did anybody think hitting HR’s was going to be the Sox problem going into the season? 
I can’t even begin to guess what it is, but something weird is clearly going on with this team. Even Jose, who is hitting well, is on pace for a career low in HR’s.

Patented pull hook on the ground to second.

You have to fire Menechino. Somebody needs to take responsibility for this shit show of an offense. 

How many weeks have we been saying this now?

Instead of the hitless wonders we are the hitless losers

Sheets + Leury are at -1.7 combined fWAR this year

Yes, but they make $6M combined.

Hahn spent $90.4M on a combined -0.2 fWAR. That's the real issue.

• Moncada 0.4
• Lynn 0.3
• Pollock -0.1
• Jimenez -0.2
• Grandal -0.3
• Keuchel -0.3

Meatball to Moncada he grounded out on.

Nice hitting there by Pollock.

How many singles will it take to put a crooked number on the board?

It did look like the offense was starting to do some good things for most of July. But now they're struggling again and all the crap Menechino is famous for preaching is front and center. 

OH MY GOD I LOVE SINGLESSSS

Jose singles on a meatball

Yaz DP incoming. 

Please send a charter jet to bring back Robert.

Helicopters are prone to crashes.

 

Also make sure to trade for Blackburn since he had the worst start of his career before tonight...that sounds vaguely familiar.

Sheets salary shouldn’t matter in this because he should be in Charlotte right now

Moncada is a beast.

5. Oakland has 2 good hits and have 2 runs. We need 5 to tie.

Wasn't the offensive improvement almost entirely BABIP related? Just getting even more singles than normal?

Throw Giolito in there too.

Solid hit by Abreu.  We got something going here...don't stop now, boys!

Probably. They did have a few games with 3+ homers. 

Grandal should be smart enough to lay off the low sinkers with guys on base

does yasmani roll over one here?

Some of the calls Oakland pitchers have been getting on 3 ball counts have been ridiculous
