Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Every time I turn our games on lately we have only 1 run with the exception of the first game of the double header. This is brutal. How long before it's not a slump and just a problem? I don't think this is a slump anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Not getting that run with runners on 1 & 3 really hurt. Could be a 1 run game, yet it's not & they can't seem to get a big hit to save their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No power threats from the left side, black holes at C/SS and no number 2 or 5 hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's also time for Rollins to not be in the 2 hole. Put Lawrie there next with his OBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't because I consider myself a realist. "Reality" should set in when looking at our CF, SS, C, & DH situation. That, along with a down year from Abreu this season makes our offense pretty darn bad. I believe the most pathetic is our DH situation...Avi...c'mon. This is not an offensive "slump" This will continue, just like last season. Edited May 25, 2016 by soxfan85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what Hahn does, he can't build an offense. I've talked about it on twitter a few times. There is no reason to be positive or have trust in an organization that has brought their fans this product. This isn't anything new & frankly, we watched them choke it away in RV's first year. People can make whatever excuses they want, whether that be lack of talent, etc but the fact remains that I see little to no reason for optimism with a team that has continued to fail each year.

We'll see how they continue until the deadline but if they just keep getting worse and are out if it then just wipe this team clean. 4-1 this is ovah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
