Lol. He may have a bad year, but he isn't done

Agreed. Adam Eaton was hitting .229 at this point last year with horrible defense

Well at least we took one today

He needed to be fired 2 years ago. Joke of a manager.

 

No experience lol, still don't know why he was hired.

Maybe to lessen the blow of the next ex-Sox-fan-favorite they hire to be manager: Joe Crede

Yeah, that would have been the idea situation for Albers to test himself.

 

Down 2 in the second game.

 

 

Still don't have a clue why Jennings or Putnam weren't called on with only a 3-1 lead and still three at-bats left to go at home. Not only that, but it completely leaves Johnson with a sour taste in his mouth when he could have departed with a positive quality start and his head held high.

 

Makes no sense.

Avila is such a bad hitter. Makes Flowers look dynamic. Anderson has been awesome

I've given up on RV a long time ago. He's just an awful manager and hes going to cost this team the playoffs by his managing

Splitting a double header isn't bad especially with pitchers like Johnson and Latos going. Count your blessings and be happy that Sale and Quintana are going the next couple of days.

Avi swinging at garbage on first pitch

I think I'd prefer Mark Buehrle as manager.

 

Seems Crede has completely disappeared. Rowand would be grindy. He could have Erstad or Kotsay as his bench coach.

 

 

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Ventura, have some upcoming graduations or functions in California to attend!!!

RV cost the team at least .5 a run today. Mangers do matter folks. He f***ing manages the 1st game like a real manager the Sox probably win 8-4 and save all the high leverage guys. He f***ing doesn't of course, he tries to steal innings with Duke, and he burns everyone. Now, he leaves in Johnson when he could have left in Latos.

 

f*** RV.

 

LOL at the bolded. Yeah, if Robin managed the game "the right way" (whatever that is), the Sox would have won 7.5 to 6. Or 7 to 5.5. Or 7.25 to 5.75.

 

Or they'd still be losing 5 to 1.5 in this game.

 

Maybe take a chill pill. It's just a game.

Purke even coming back from shoulder surgery a couple of years ago, throws harder than Johnson.

May has just been so dissapointing. These guys had a real chance to take control of this division and they've pissed it away. Have to lay the blame on the manager.

This is going to be the year if the Sox miss the playoffs we'll all (well, 90%) be convinced it was due to managing.

 

KC has Gordon out now, Kendrys Morales hitting .190ish and a completely patchwork rotation.

 

And yet we're only going to be up 2 1/2, 3 and 4 games over DET. Can't believe we let the Tigers back into this. And they have injuries to Cabrera and Zimmerman, although probably not so serious.

Ventura didn't cost the team a game today. Anderson just dominated tonight

I played the game plenty and watched it plenty. I'm trying to be kind and "best guess" the scenarios. You don't put in Duke in the 8th inning. Zach Duke is a loogy. At best, you thank your lucky stars you mis used a loogy in the 7th inning of a relatively close game, you don't send him out in the 8th, give him a slap on the ass, and say "go get'em" like it's a f***ing summer league game. You put in the 8th inning guy, that is Jones. You hope Jones gets a quick inning and comes out for the 9th. Then maybe he gets an out and you don't use the closer.

 

I could go on about how bunting with a 3 run lead with a guy that gets on base 40% of the time is ABSOLUTELY f***ING BATs*** INSANE.

 

but then I'd get really angry again.

Never before have I seen a pitcher as dominant as this 8era starter

I'll take the doubleheader split. Now our two aces in the hole need to shut down Cleveland. I want 3 of 4

Anderson just dominated tonight

Cy Anderson

 

 

Well, we will never know, because we didn't even bother to try to hold the lead to just 2 runs with either Jennings or Putnam. We also screwed over Erik Johnson, honestly hope they just trade him and let him get a fresh start with another organization.

 

The fact is, looking at the next couple of games, especially tmrw...you don't anticipate using your entire bullpen in a Chris Sale start.

I see you AJax

Seems like every s***ty pitcher has pitcher their best against us starting with Buchholz
