This team has missed so many hangers the last 3 days it's crazy.

 

Besides Beckham

 

Viciedo is having a terrible time of getting on top of hanging pitches of late.

Im out. Season finale of Dallas is coming on at 8

Ugh, wake up offense! Sox been struggling of late against a few of the worst starters in the AL.

 

Has Hawk brought out "Tip your Cap" yet?

I don't understand why the Sox are willing to give away so many AB's with Viciedp in such a tight race in August.

I would normally agree with you, but with the injuries this week, he's had to be in the lineup no matter what. That .261 OPS in August so far needs to start going up soon. I know people mocked you for it, but Pierre would be a sensational addition to the bench.

Who do you want to play in his place? He is the Sox left fielder this year for better or worse. His style of hitting is really maddening, though, when he is not going well which this year is a good chunk of the time.

Until the Tank goes on another heater and hits 5 homers in a week.

 

Not sure who they would replace him with. The market for OF on waivers is not exactly hot.

 

The most frustrating thing is Tank's failures with runner on 3rd and less than two outs. It seems like he fails consistently in that situation lately.

 

Of course, I just checked Baseball Reference and he has an 1.066 OPS in that situation. So much for my impressions.

That's our DH!!

The Royals have played great against the Sox even with Hosmer sucking big-time. Scary to think how bad we'd be against them if he could hit.

 

Aza with a two out hit. will he be running?

C'mon Sox! Give me an In Play (Runs)!

That's our DH!!

 

Its a joke to call him the designated hitter.

Truth.

Beckham with some homer happy swings in that AB...yuck. Sox really need to get to Guthrie before the Royals go to their good bullpen again.

damn, not looking good

 

here we go

Not good, these guys look like they have no idea vs Guthrie

Even though the Sox have way more HR during the season KC out homering Sox head to head.

Q can't keep the ball in the park tonight. Team seems incredibly flat tonight, as does the crowd.

Meh...what do you expect with this lineup. Guys like Gordon, Viciedo, Danks, Hudson, etc...AAA lineup. I'll be surprised if we score 2 today.

yesterday too and the fans at the game last night and today havent been in it all

I guess that we have promoted the royals as the new look twins. A team that we tip our cap to while taking pre-game batting practice. I mean who can hit such vaunted pitchers as Chen and Guthrie. This is a team that is in our division and someone we should thump.

And that doesn't take into account the massive slump Dunn is in. It's really an awful time for Rios to need a day off due to injury.

 

Dunn with the invisible bat going. He's so bad right now, and it's very disappointing that Ventura seems to be stubborn about moving him in the order.

and an awful time for the sox to start playing like this *sigh*

Our offense has a tendency to disappear even with all our starters in. But when you put guys like Flowers/Danks/Hudson in too...we just aren't good enough offensively to overcome that deficit often.
