But this team is making it very difficult. Just a brutal series of a baseball here. Down 1-0 and feels like we're down a touchdown. Pitching seems to be settling in. Offense is struggling now, but I think we'll have a better idea once Eloy/Yoan return next week and TA hopefully not long after. Now let's maybe get the hell out of this cursed ballpark before someone else gets hurt.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking more and more like the shortened 2020 season was the one to go all in but Hahn did nothing and left us going in to the playoffs with basically 2 starting pitchers and a wing and prayer. Of course if our MVP would have hit like a damn MVP or anywhere close against the A's we could have gotten out of that 1st round and then who knows. That's right I said it, I loved Jose but he left a s%*# ton of guys on base that series. What did Timmy hit, like .700 and the run producers did not bring him around. Sorry, I am getting a little salty and better get back to work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Poor Robert has to swing at junk because 2nd pitch in a row to him 4 inches off the plate called a strike. Just terrible game from Alan Porter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Getting beaten by Michael Taylor these last two games...sigh. Baldelli with smart move getting Gordon and his superior range in at second base... won't show up in the box score.

2Deep Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 We are what we are..... Can't stay healthy The healthy guys are can't hit We keep signing guys (Andrus, Ben) who can't hit. I'm as optimistic as the next guy but this is a shitty start to the year for a team that could not afford a shitty start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Wtg Gavin, way to close out the 8th inning with yet another weak groundball out and running to first base at a snail's pace. Why are we playing Sheets anywhere? He can't play right field. He showed us yesterday he sucks at first base fielding as well and now he cant hit. What a wasted draft pick and at 6'5" 220 lbs, with zero home runs and zero extra base hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
