And who is coming up? Come on, think a little. It's better to get him MLB experience in a throwaway year. Just buckle up, it's going to be this way all year.

 

There is just nothing impressive about Erik Johnson at all

Yep, see what he has with regards to being a future member of this rotation in 2016, etc. One thing that has to change immediately is his demeanor on the mound.

Johnson may need some AAA time, especially if he's not pitching with confidence. He just doesn't have the mound presence he had last year. But when you can't throw strikes, that'll happen.

 

Tommy Hanson threw 5 no-hit innings tonight for Charlotte.

Quite a bit of difference from getting experience and getting smoked every start.

Cooper's doing just a wonderful job with the pitchers this year....ugh

It always amazes me, if the offense is bad, or the defense is bad, it is the coaching. If the pitching is bad, they just suck. Johnson was supposed to be a stud. Why isn't anyone saying the pitching coach has failed him?

Does it even matter if all these guys have lost 2 mph?

Another f***ing walk

Hanson cannot do any worse than Johnson...............he has shown he needs AAA badly.

It must really suck for the offense that the pitchers consistently gives up leads

Everyone always talks about Cooper stressing not overthrowing the fastball in order to get more control. Well, everyone's velocity is way down, as is the control. The pitching staff was pretty overrated last year, and now it's an absolute disaster this year. Outside of Sale, it seems like none of the pitchers have any confidence this year in their stuff.

By July the dugout will be divided.

Well, that was an impressive outing.

 

Thanks Erik!

I really thought Erik Johnson would be better than this. Probably be best served to go down and work on his stuff and regain some confidence.

Jesus christ robin manages like it's f***ing game 7 of the world series every single game. Just let him f***ing take it for the team. who knows he gets an out you might get 2 more innings out of him.

If it makes you feel better, the great Matt Davidson is 0-3 with a strikeout and hitting .167.

Never know, the roster move tomorrow could be Johnson if Noesi is added.

He was just as bad at Texas, he just got lucky in that game.

Pen now has to cover 7 plus innings tonight f***ing terrible.

Yeah a OUT!

It's amazing to me they're adding him. One of my favorite pitchers to see the Sox hit against the last 3 years.

based on what he's shown in the past, I'll wait a month or two before passing judgement on him. I think he'll turn it around.

I do not get Hahn on that deal.
