4uckOffCommieScum Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Just a friendly reminder, Leury was 5 for 47 with a .106/.149/.192 slash line in April last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 TLR is somewhere with that smug look on his face saying I told you so... that seemed to start with the back and forth with Hahn through media channels over Kimbrel's acquisition/lack of fit on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Adam Frazier. Who are we kidding? They both would have come here and sucked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Benintendi has an average of .295 and none of the other starters have an average above .240 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no TLR fan, but its hard to argue that perhaps TLR was keeping the tent from blowing off this circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 You could tell me the Sox are a power conference college team this season playing in the majors, and I would say I could see that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't just losing, they are not even competitive. Yes, which was my point. I can no longer find words to describe what’s going on. It’s gone way past any way I can describe this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 So...I don't want to act like the manager really matters all that much, but when things are going *this* badly you've gotta wonder about the manager right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I don’t get why Andrus has gone away from trying to pull everything in the air. Instead we keep getting this bullshit inside-out groundball approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 27 ABs by sox hitters. 14 Ks. Why not just DFA the entire roster and call up the Barons roster. How much worse could it get? Maybe they lose 8-1 instead of 7-0. JR could save a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, also seems like a completely broken clubhouse. The antics between Eloy and Robert yesterday was embarrassing, and many people have pointed out how Eloy doesn’t interact with anyone on the bench now.

greg775 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I don't study the rankings but the Sox starting rotation has to be one of the worst in baseball, right? To go with a bullpen that arguably is the worst in baseball. The offense also is miserable. Can you imagine paying face value for tix and parking and concessions for a Sox home game after this month of April? Re the upcoming firesale: Will be interesting to see if our "prospects" truly are worth as much as we figured during the tank/rebuild. Sheets, Vaughn, Eloy, Moncada? My guess is only Robert and Timmy are worth much to MLB teams. Our pitching prospects? I dunno man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a roster you think is a contender, absolutely. If the roster isn't a contender, and is as bad as teams you had when you were trying to lose, you need to fix the front office.
