Princess Dye Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 This little nugget was interesting. “I feel so bad for some of the players — not all of them,’’ he said. “And I feel bad for Robin and his staff because this is a helluva staff. ‘’ http://www.suntimes.com/sports/20847095-41...hell-on-me.html What are our guesses? Alexei? Hawk will back Sox players on the air til kingdom come, but with Alexei he nearly breaks that self-programming once a week or so (regarding lazy throws to first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Keppinger is among them. Dunn and Viciedo could be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Dunn, Keppinger, and maybe De Aza, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultimate Champion Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hawk is absolutely right in everything he says in that article. He certainly feels for the pitching staff. I agree on Robin (not so much the blank contract thing) but let's jettison some of these guys, then things will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It's more radio booth than tv (but it happens with the tv booth too)- when a team has eliminated itself by the middle of June, it's interesting to hear who gets ragged on and to what extent. Alexei and (especially) Flowers are two who seem to get a fair share of the spotlight from Farmer & DJ. De Aza does as well, though not to that extent. On the flip side, Beckham looks like he's got some fans in there. Gillespie too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paint it Black Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Jordan Danks. Also, this article was very refreshing coming from Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 12:37 PM) Hawk off the record " Carlos Gomez would fix everything". Carlos has been doing a pretty good Mike Trout impression this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 12:45 PM) Dunn, Keppinger, and maybe De Aza, I think. Based on Hawk's repetition of the "I'm going to win comeback player of the year" story, I don't think he hates Dunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 12:57 PM) I think Hawk loves Dunn. I agree. I think Dunn is one of Hawk's favorites. He seems to root for Dunn, Paulie and Beckham more than anybody on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just a waste of ink, paper, and electricity if you can't name names, Hawk. If it keeps happening, maybe the staff is not so great. Then, on another subject, twice during this series the Twin announcers brought up the Toriiiiii Hunter/Jamie Burke collision as if this is the apex of Twinkie baseball. Still urinates me.

hogan873 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hawk's right about the no accountability issue. And he hit the nail on the head with the statement, "this has been horses*** baseball." As far as who he doesn't like, it's hard to tell. I don't think he cares much for Keppinger, Flowers, and maybe De Aza. He loves Konerko and Beckham, and I think he likes Dunn.

greg775 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I wonder if Hawk will want to go through a painful rebuild. Ultimately it doesn't matter to his paycheck if the Sox win or lose, but it will have to be brutal calling games that don't matter the rest of this season and probably many seasons to come before the team is rebuilt.

caulfield12 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 He loves Viciedo when he is hitting or throwing, but not taking bad routes or misplaying balls in LF, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I wouldn't mind joining Hawk at this weekend's games if I could score free tickets and parking. No way I'm spending 75 bucks for a good seat to watch us lose. I would attend if I got free tix, free parking. I'd pay for my own concessions. That's what the Sox are worth to me right now.

caulfield12 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 "I thought they gave everything," Gregg Popovich said. "That's character. We've got a bunch of guys who aren't going to give in, keep playing with each other, for each other, and really feel the responsibility to each other." There are no measures for character, however, not even in this era of advanced statistics. The cold numbers showed Duncan, Ginobili and Parker shot a combined 4-for-13 in the fourth quarter, with six turnovers. www.espn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
