What a weak effort. This team is going nowhere unless the top guys pick it up

To be fair, it's not his job. I don't think it's nearly as easy as some make it seem.

 

Honestly play by play isn't the hard job. All you have to do is describe what is happening in front of you. If you know your sport, it comes pretty quickly and easily. Rangers problem is two fold. #1 he is trying to say too much, and instead of just saying what just happened, he is trying to describe with too many details what happened, and why it happened. #2 All you need to do is say what just happened. You have a color guy to talk about why. You also have time after the play to go back and add details to the original call.

He is just as bad a post game host.

 

Hearing the callers he gets, he doesn't do half bad. He deals with some complete meatballs for a high majority of his calls. You can only sound so good when you are given a pile of meatballs to dress up.

Good Sox, bad Sox, on and on. You are right in your observation IMO.

The riots had more offense then the sox

4 hits, gentlemen....FOUR. And 1 walk to go with the 9 K's.

Rongey does his job fine. He is there to take the calls with the majority of them being idiots. He gives a reasonable response. Then its over.

After Samardzija gave up the big inning, I can't imagine it was easy to focus as a Sox hitter. This was such a non-game after that.

 

Move on to Minnesota and get a few wins...or four.

4 wins or Ventura needs to be fired.

Samardzija s***s the bed (again)... and no one wants Don Cooper fired. Some how its the manager's fault that the starting pitcher wasn't prepared. Offense sucks and its again Robin's fault.

 

Seems logical.

I just want to point out that this was Quinarvys game thread to start. You f*** with the juju and this is what you get

Tigers got 17 hits and 10 runs today, will Sox get that in 4 games at Minn?

I bet you think they won't

But will still watch and be angry and complain about it...

Nah, it wasn't. I missed the 26th game because of the short start between the postponed and the regularly scheduled game.

 

I'll start the next one to restart the juju.

Looks like I missed pretty much nothing. I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching this garbage.

I'd personal attack you right now if I could. I started the last game thread and we won.

Sox are next to last in the AL in homers. This lineup just doesn't have any power outside of Abreu and LaRoche. It's hard to win a lot of games when you have minimal power and very few high OBP guys.

I don't hold Ventura responsible because player X or player Y has a bad game. I hold him responsible for managerial decisions and overall leadership.

 

As for Shark, yet another in the long, largely ugly, list of Kenny Williams' veteran "ace starters" he has to go out and trade young players to get (or order Hahn to do it), coupled with a little dab of "we'll show those cubbies".

Also last in RBI, BB SH, SF and SB. Worse, today's game is going to really affect our road attendance numbers. Some of the bad numbers can be attributed to the fact we have also played at least 2 games less than every team.

Scary post but seems to be true. Davidson to the rescue and encourage Avi to elevate more?

From what I understand, there was a play Abreu should have made (double play ball?) that helped contribute to the big inning...or is that wrong?

Not sure if it would have been a double play for sure but he should have gotten the guy out at 2nd for sure.
