Don't bet the house: Sox @ Orioles 5/31 3:05PM CDT


Recommended Posts

After watching the replay of the out of the baseline incident that caused the benches to clear, that was quite a b**** move by Mayo to try and draw some sort of interference call from the ump

Teel and Elko are hitting in the minors. Perhaps they might be called up sooner rather than later. What  harm would there be in bringing them up?

Yet Elko was given a small sample size.

It's hard for Baldwin to make an out.

I tend to believe these ??? decisions are from TLR.  You know they manager who intentionally walked hitters with a 1-2 count twice.

Hope they hit his ass tomorrow.

A real manager would bench him. That just looks stupid and worse on a last place team.

I assume the ump didn't make the call either.

Sox remain kind of crummy on the road. Not too bad at home.

Why is this Rojas guy on the team? 

That Mayo guy should be fined. He went out of his way to shove Sosa and almost start a fight.

Today's performance suggests it's time to trade Robert for scraps if anybody wants him. The guy is a great fielder but simply can't hit. Give him a change of scenery and if he turns into Tatis well the Sox will know they are jinxed. Robert can't hit a baseball.

And cut him a $10 million check?

No team will take on the balance of Robert's contract. Not sure how the Sox get rid of his contract any time soon in order to minimize their loss.  Waiting for Robert to start hitting is supposedly the strategy but  that has been painful for us fans to watch.

Scouting reports are not even required on Robert now. Everybody in the ballpark knows that Robert can't cover low/outside or low/inside pitches , that is, everyone but Robert himself. 

Maybe another hitting coach can help him. He has the athletic ability but needs to make a lot of adjustments.

Vargas looked completely like a lost cause in the second half of 2024 as well.  

Most importantly, Robert still has the physical tools, bat speed, etc.

Just saw the reply. Total bush league. Mayo acted like a little punk. I wouldn't wanna tangle with Sosa, seems to have heavy hands. No reason for Mayo to shove him. Needs to get one in the ribs today. Maybe by Boozer or Altavilla.

You have Rojas on the team because Getz signed him to a 3.5 million dollar contract.
