They might have a slightly better record there. Might. Slightly better. 5 1/2 behind Guadalajara but they will turn it around very soon 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Vaughan needed to just stand there. Another guy that swung at a bunch of pitches he could do nothing with. Bases should have been loaded for Robert. Still shaking my head that Kelly and Graveman were used down 3 while neither has a history benefitting from a lot of work and probably won't pitch tomorrow. Why do I care. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger missed 2 years of development with injuries. Anybody who says that doesn't matter is out of their mind. The fact that he's up here playing better than most of the "core" that was supposed to lead the parades is actually amazing. 3/4 of the roster would be in the Mexican League before Burger yet the same guy clamors for Billy Hamilton every chance he gets. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Sox stink, So they had the 10-game losing streak. This current stretch is also putrid. So Sox officially are dead. Two miserable losing stretches before July. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Brady Nelson reminds us there's much more to life than the W/L column of our favorite sports teams. With that being said, tear the fucking thing down already. Lose on purpose for 7 years only to lose while trying to win is ... just..

Let's bash people accurately for once. I said Jake needs to make adjustments, just like Yermin needed to once they figured him out. He also needs to figure it out at 3B as the Sox are taking a hit defensively if he doesn't improve. Billy Hamilton is the only player capable of giving Luis Robert Jr. a day off. Luis is clearly worn out, needs rest, but Hahn doesn't have a capable CF on the roster. Frazier can't even handle RF. If Robert breaks down, this team is completely dead with what they are throwing out there in RF.

wegner Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I thought it was funny in the 9th when Stone talked about Remillard and how it's tough for him seeing these pitchers for the first time. I don't disagree with him about that but what about these guys who've been here all season & longer, swinging at garbage out of the strike zone?

Need to do things differently, and adjustments need to be identified and made. The players that do not adjust and are uncoachable need to grab some bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a take sign or two against pitchers with a good slider. He can’t him them anyway, and maybe take a walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
