I certainly don't think he should be fired. Frustrated, yes, but I'm not calling for his head.

 

I figured he would get better as the season went along. Not to regress and to regress at this point in the season.

 

ADA terrible throw

Choo has Veal's number

Choo is Veal's kryptonite. De Aza's defensive struggles continue.

Im always optimistic when it comes to the teams I support. There is no logic in pessimism over something I cant control.

 

I get paid to be pessimistic, so optimism is fun.

 

I think we're all optimistic here (I swear), but you're clearly much more than I am. I was hoping for .500 baseball and no silly drama.

 

 

AJ's game calling sucks....

I think a huge confounding factor here is the fact that players aren't doing as well. It makes every decision less likely to work out while simultaneously making each decision a higher leverage one.

Sox love to give up leads fast.

Well the point is that I am willing to give him the time to improve or regress. I have no loyalties towards a manager. But I am willing to give him the time to show how he can help or potentially hurt this ball club.

 

Great post.

Pitch f/x had the first three pitches to Kipnis as strikes. Pitch 1 was right down the god damn middle.

Amazing.... Got the lead after struggling and were about to cough it up

My man Veal, not good

Pitch 2 was a ball

Oh boy. We stink right now. Will Cleveland play for the huge inning and bust this baby open, or bunt here?

Hopefully Lillibridge messes up a bunt like he did when with the Sox

Calling a bunt triple play.

Downfall of 2012 it has happened way too often.

Why is all the rum gone?

Well not moving Rios into the 3 hole or Youk who has struggled for a month out of the 2 hole. Yet scraps off the bench can come and occupy these roles because of some mythical set in stone lineup. 3B must bat Second... I mean thats insane. Carl Everett ran out of gas in sept and was moved out with Dye going in there and it sparked the offense a bit.

Leveraging guys in a pennant race for starts that were independent league players. Leveraging your worst bullpen guys at the end of a game because you are holding out your key players for a later AB.

It seems like it, but has anybody seen actual numbers and how we compare to the rest of the league?

Where the hell was that 1-2 pitch?

That was strike 3 dam

Allright guys I gotta snooze .... Bring home a W

My man Veal, not good

 

All our surprise pitchers have come down to earth: Q, Santiago, Veal to name three.

Hopefully Lillibridge messes up a bunt like he did when with the Sox
