May 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 3, 2015 -> 11:20 PM) I want Gardenhire. I've always liked him and would like him to be the next guy. With that said we have to balls up and fire RV first. something is rotten on the South Side: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...4&players=0
May 4, 201510 yr Micah's play saddens me. I guess I expected a huge huge impact. Stolen bases galore, etc., after hearing Hawk gush about him all last year. I know he's OK and all that but I had way out of whack expectations for him. The way the org pumped him up he was bound to fail. They f***ing rush everyone of their guys it seems. He was nowhere near MLB ready and we saw it in spring. That Sanchez lingers in AAA while the Sox are close to last in every single defensive metric really pisses me off. Here's what should happen on the off day: Robin out Steverson interim Micah to AAA Sanchez up Gordon is new everyday 3b sanchez is new everyday 2b rodon to aaa ____ up The team needs defense BADLY. I don't think Gordon is any sort of answer but right now he can at least provide defense.

I don't think Gordon is any sort of answer but right now he can at least provide defense. He has played 20 games (57 ABs) and he has already failed? Come on man. He is seeing the most pitches on a team full of mainly vets. He has made 1 error (Today) and out of the regulars he is 4th in average and I guarantee if the rest of our offense wasn't horrible he would be playing better. Yeah he is a bit shaky in the field but really hasn't hurt the team with his fielding, IMO and I have no idea why they aren't having him steal nearly every time he is on 1st but he has been a bright spot on this s***ty team. He is not the one to replace in the line up. Edited May 4, 201510 yr by BigHurt3515
May 4, 201510 yr Until the org places a premium on defense series likes this one will continue to happen imo. Especially up the middle. Flowers is no great shakes either and Eaton has been shaky as well so far. Micah, well, he is what he is and that's mistake prone.
May 4, 201510 yr at this juncture, with the performance of this team, i see a lot of holes and few highlights.
May 4, 201510 yr @mullyhanley: .@JonHeymanCBS is on right now...says he hears nothing of Robin Ventura's job being in jeopardy. #whiteSox

That's bad, but teams have come back after a start like that, and the Sox are currently 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot. Now if they get swept by the Tigers, or go 2-4 this week, 10-18...it's time to go.
May 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ May 3, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) i really don't know about that, but let say you are right. only 1 player has step up and said it is the players fault. that was Jose A and it was today. There are more. That was the quote on twitter, but there were more players in the main article.

Today would be the day for me but I just can't imagine they keep him while playing so bad for so long.

May 4, 201510 yr People need to check Ron Gardenhire's record away from the MetroDome. Hint: it's really not good. If Ventura got fired, I think the Jim Thome era would be upon us. Yawn.
