Pitchers (5 starters, seemingly) have already had a meeting to address their struggles.

Double-edged sword here.

 

“I really love to play for Robin because he’s a friend, he’s a brother, he’s like a father in some situations,” Abreu said. “He lets you play your game. That’s good. Something that in baseball, if you are a good person, that doesn’t translate that you are going to be successful every time. He’s very good. I love to play for him.”

 

....

 

“We cannot blame Robin,” Abreu said through an interpreter. “It’s our fault because we are the ones who are playing. We are the people who are in the field. Just for us, we are not doing the things right.

 

“If the people want someone to blame, it’s the players, not Robin. He’s doing what he can do, but the results aren’t there.”

Oh hey, that last quote looks like my signature.

 

I don't wanna get into this whole Robin thing though. It's an unwinable argument.

"Guys, stop f***ing giving up runs."

"Guys, stop f***ing giving up runs."

 

Defense, please don't make 3-5 mistakes per game.

 

Q's probably thinking "Why do I get a loss or no decision every single time out? WHY ME?" by this time.

 

 

Actually, two of the four mistakes today were related to Danks...so hard to blame other players other than LaRoche and Micah (unless there was yet another error I missed after giving up on the game around the 6th inning).

Clearing up who Rodon will be replacing.

Well Carlos has single-handedly added four runs to Noesi's ERA line, so that's a bit of an ironic concept (in the locker room) if they do eventually remove Hector and leave Danks standing.

 

We'll probably get a modified 6 man rotation, knowing the White Sox. Which will end up making NOBODY happy.

A manager has many priorities and being loved isnt one of them. Guys are too comfy.

 

well it is about time someone on that team held a meeting.

 

the real ones, meaning the positional players, are the one who really need to hold a mtg.

Double-edged sword? No, this is leadership! Jose Abreu nailed it

if it is leadership and no one is listening, the question is why?

You have to put guys in positions to be successful.

They aren't too comfy. They are way too uptight. This team could generate diamonds from coal right now. Comfy teams don't make as many over-aggressive mistakes as the Sox do.

 

when are the hitters going to have the same kind of meeting???

Except for that first week "being over-aggressive" was supposed to be part of the plan.

Agreed. And I would argue people perform their best when they are comfy and confident. Uptight, stressed, and confident just doesn't compute.
