Capn12 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 We're about to take back over our rightful position as WORST MLB team, so we've got that going for us. Miami and Colorado keep trying to wear the crown, but they really are no match for Captain Getz and Lieutenant Grifol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) From the highs of the Rays' sweep to this new bottom. 6-26 30-132 pace. Yikes. Manfred might need to threaten JR with contraction. Edited May 1 by caulfield12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Twins have never had a 6-0 road trip....in entire franchise history. 11 in row streak in 2006. 12 in 1980. 15 in a row in 1987 or 91. Edited May 1 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Farmer showing how it's done on defense. Sox 2-18 versus the worst division in baseball. Except statistically Top 4 look better than reality due to facing Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getz might be even worse than Grifol. Debate worthy. Both Getz and Grifol should have never been hired in their positions, and the longer they maintain those positions, the bigger a joke the Sox are.

A-Train to 35th Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 34 minutes ago, chitownsportsfan said: That's three extra bases on Shields in RF today. I mean really how long did Getz and Pedro think Sheets was gonna last in RF without all the misplays and extra bases being taken. Put Eloy out there, let him get injured and then bring up Colas. Sheets is a DH/IB and nothing more. Only the Sox put a lumbering DH/1B in the outfield and think that's a good idea. At least let Eloy play his natural position, who cares if he gets injured and is out for the season. I bet our DP and groundball rate would improve with him on the DL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of good managers that would take this job far outweighs the ones who wouldn't. The problem is the man responsible for hiring them to do so.

Sure, Terry Bevington is available. Or maybe bring Robin out again. This team is historically bad and there is absolutely no human walking the earth who is going to change that.

I mean, statistically speaking, no one has ever done worse in league history, so Id think a modicum of competency from the GM and Manager would get a team to at least 60 wins. They are on pace for 30… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
