So what happens next year.. does Sale make a direct jump into the starting rotation?

If the team is hoping to contend I don't see how he can. If we throw in the towel and rebuild, ok.

Out of everyone on the team I think Sale has been my biggest disappointment this year. I was a huge fan but now have doubts about how his stuff will work as a starter.

I'd just like to be Mr. Obvious and point out that much of this game so far is not really Edwin Jackson's fault.

 

 

Teahen instead of Dunn. Uhmm.....ok.

Can't hit a 3 run hr with the bases empty.

I was gonna say, good pitchers like Hudson give up solo home runs. Solo home runs simply don't matter.

 

I concur. Cuddyer's solo home run yesterday didn't matter one bit.

LITTLE LEAGUE!!

Ha, only if we want to shut him down after 140 innings, while he gets hammered in the meantime. I got grilled for saying Sale NEEDED to be starting in the minors THIS YEAR, but alas, I was in the minority.

please please please try and steal

It's amazing that there are people that still, to this day, think that Ozzie is a good in game manager.

 

He was pulled too soon from his last start as well....

I think we all admitted that a couple innings ago.

Pretty much says it all. It takes a person with little to no knowledge of baseball to think so.

Pierre's single just bought him another month starting....

I felt exactly the same. I hate him in the bullpen.

If I could ask KW one question it would be what exactly did his big board show his rotation would be in 2012 when he was thinking of making the Hudson trade. Kinda ironic that Dunn was the player we were trying to get.

 

Dunn is the player we HAD to have -- and he can't even get on the field in NL parks at $14 million.

 

Against a right-handed pitcher.

 

That's on KW.

Can't hit a 3 run hr with the bases empty.

 

Which is what I just said "ok" at the end. I thought about being mad, but then I realized it really does not even matter. It's not like Dunn is hitting .250 with 15-16 HR.

Juan f***ing Pierre

I think we all admitted that a couple innings ago.

I've been avoiding the thread.

That just bought Juan Pierre another 5-10 more games of starts.

 

Like the Minnesota series, those early blown opportunities with runners on base and in scoring position in the early innings killed us. Konerko's ball goes out for the 3-2 lead...or Quentin hits a double, totally different story.

 

But you can say that for 65% of Sox games this season.

This is what was bound to happen with him starting the year against the best and not having to earn the spot. Never had the innings to work on a consistent release point and to find his control groove.

That's on KW.

 

The guy consistently hits well his entire career. We sign him and all of a sudden he doesn't hit. Yeah, that's KW's fault.

How much longer to we have to watch Alex Rios? He is total garbage.

I've been avoiding the thread.

The post twins game loss threads were much worse.

How much longer to we have to watch Alex Rios? He is total garbage.

How long is his contract?

I'm one of 'em, but I still think he should be fired.

Underachieving team.

Can him.

 

Ozzie's greatest managing was during the 2005 world series...he stayed out of the game's way instead of injecting strategy to let u know he wasn't asleep on the bench

There's been a lot of disappointments this year. Dunn, of course. I thought Beckham might really have a GOOD year. Pierre...... ........

The fact that Greg Walker is still the hitting coach and Ozzie still the manager. The fact that Scotty McCreery won American Idol.
