Clevinger is another guy who should be DFA in the coming months.  Hahn really sucks 

an entire staff all losing their ability to pitch screams coaching philosophy and possibly clubhouse issues (to me), instead of bad talent eval.  could be just having bad pitchers but Clevingers still got a good arsenal and good velo, same with Cease and Kopech. they just aren't getting it done. I don't think they listen to Katz at all or he's giving them horrendous advice. he always sounded like a guy who would be great for young pitchers who can absorb this data driven/spin/tilt stuff, but older veteran guys who weren't groomed on that s%*# would have issues with a guy like Katz 

 

edit: yes I know Cease and Kopech are younger guys, I think they're just too emotional and lose focus very quickly

Fire everyone and trade everyone fixes that

I am shocked Grandal can’t stay healthy.  Another player that I’m very thankful is done after this season.

Should've signed Yan Gomes like I wanted them to when he was a free agent. Pretty good player came relatively cheap to the Cubs. Known for his ability to handle a staff and game planning.

Singer has an ERA in the 8's... these guys just suck

Keep swinging at the first pitch, idiots.

Another Timmy pulled grounder on a sinker.  He better pray the Dodgers can fix him, as he’s losing a fortune if this keeps up.

What makes you think they'd get any players back that are different than the ones they have ? They have problems recognizing real baseball players.

They all look like they want the season to be over.  Have looked that way since second week of the season.

That’s where the fire part comes from.  Get rid of Hahn and all his cronies and get a real GM.

Except you know all that isn't happening It's like hoping you'll get Ohtani.

Sox must've just really been jealous of those number one draft picks that the Bears and Blackhawk earned. Now they're gonna get their own!

They cannot fire everyone soon enough to trade anyone.

Realistically there is little value in anyone other than Giolito at this time.

They are the Jim Boylan - Gar/Pax Bulls currently

TLR is really looking better and better as this season goes on. For whatever flaws he had, and he had a bunch, the team never tanked like this and it's basically the same team as last year.

These guys can’t run without hurting themselves, never seen anything like this.

And when they do get hurt, it’s severe.  The other day, Nico looked like he tore his hamstring and he was available to play the next day.

Organizational operations in player development, strength and conditioning, analytics, who name it and they are inept. 

Other than spending money, all be in foolishly, as an organization they do nothing right.

Jerry’s plan

Sheets swings at a terrible 3-1 pitch, good lord and then strikes out on almost the same pitch

Anderson .624

Benintendi .644  after two hits

Swing at ball four then strike out on the exact same pitch. ....holy f*** this team is something.  There is no ability to recognize what the f*** is going on.   Singer is struggling and that assclown Sheets bailed him out.

What the f*** does Sheets do that Coals cannot? 

Come on seriously. 

Sheets is sheet.

But as usual they’ll screw it up.

Geezus Gavin. You suck

Lyles and Singer with ERA's over 6 and 8 are going to throw complete games this series.

 

Sox still can't beat the Royals
