Any team with any pride would have put this nonsense out of its misery at least a season ago. Robin is getting worse and worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, ended up not using Jones with the lead last night and then wasted him for 4 outs when they were trailing. Putnam did a fantastic job today, Robertson just freaking choked.

Nate Jones and Putnam have been pretty damn good this year, but agree with the concept in general that just too many relievers have melted down of late.

Robertson blew it for sure. But we have gotten new players the past few years and tried to win... but the same things keep happening. It's only logical to try different coaches. At some point when your manager has the worse winning % it team history... you just might want to conclude the manager isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These last two games do not end up as losses with someone who doesn't have their head up their ass managing the game. I've seen it time and time again during Robin's tenure and he's good to lose 8-10 games a year like these. An average manager could make these wins. Heck just find a manager who's only half as bad as Robin and we'd have 4-5 more wins a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not buying it. After 23-10 and beating some good teams in the process, 90 wins should have been realistic. They should have been able to tread water for 60-70 games, still been in first place, then make a couple good trades to supplement what they already had.

Good article. Managers are hired to be fired. It's his time to be fired simply because of all the ways they've choked away games in his era. Team is dysfunctional. Don't know if it can ever get back to being a normal team, but things are not looking good right now. A total rebuild is in order and it may take 10 years to change the culture. Maybe more. But Robin is not the guy. They won't fire him though. Remember we were 23-10 at one point and management will let it play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I really wanted to wake up to news of Robin being fired but I had what drug addicts call a 'moment of clarity' while eating my muffin today and realized that firing Robin won't fix the bullpen, it won't add a another quality starter to the rotation and a lefty bat in the lineup. A slump was inevitable, every team goes through one but let's face reality the Sox's roster has a lot of holes and those holes lead to prolonged slumps and a smaller margin of error. The division is still winnable and despite shooting themselves in the face for the past 15 games, the Sox are still in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
