10 hours ago10 hr Oh wellWell pitched ball game, Ramirez hit a very good pitch for a HR, our guys s%*# the bed. Maybe just too inexperienced against a team that's been here before. Improve as hitters by more plate discipline and get some quality arms.

Lots of young talent in the division that will get better, and let’s be honest, WSox have a tendency for their hitters to not take the next steps you think they will.Tigers and Royals are in flux. guardians will be the guardians but I think this core is far more promising then the previous core was. In retrospect, that was a deeply flawed roster. I think players like Chase, Sammy, etc haven't even come close to unlocking their full potential. We need some obvious pitching additions but I trust the front office to make it happen
10 hours ago10 hr Fire the hitting coach. These guys have awful approaches. Swinging at junk and watching the hittable stuff. Teel got a hanging curve and just looked at it

Chasing too much trying to hit the ball 500 feet. Walking way too many guys who otherwise can't hit.

The Sox are not supposed to be here based on the talent question. I’ve enjoyed the ride for what it is, and never expected anything crazy. Be grateful imo

10 hours ago10 hr 3 minutes ago, joejoesox said:I'm taking the under on that, I think they massively overachieved this year and caught the league mostly off guard, now that Cleveland has clearly exposed the gaping holes in this roster I think they could be a 4th place team next year and people calling for people's jobs by the ASG, I'll be glad to be wrongthis year the development season was put on hold. Next year we have to see if Shultz and Smith become starters.
10 hours ago10 hr Maybe I'm just upset. I don't know if this offense will ever be capable enough to get clutch hits. The pitching development is definitely subpar.
