SoCalSox Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Ventura conceded the game when he put Kahnle in. He had no business back up & sure as s*** should not have been pitching in a 2 run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) We don't win Central Division games, especially on the road. That's the Sox mojo during the Robin era. That, Robin lovers, is why he needs to go. I'd agree to him staying if we totally switched up our advance scouting department. Detroit, KC and Cleveland know all the Sox weaknesses. I know you guys don't like my gambling tips. But bet the house we finish below KC, Cleveland and Detroit. We'll finish ahead of Minnie. This may sound harsh, but we're probably the only reason the Royals will be in it all the way. The way they beat on the Sox ... that's a lot of victories coming up considering they are 5-1 vs. Chicago this year already. greg, make your predictions but don't give anyone gambling advice. Do you know how many homeless people you have created with your shenanigans? Edited June 4, 2016 by pettie4sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Why does he even have Purke warming up? Martinez hits about 100 points better vs RHP's. Does Robin have any f***ing clue or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks for just giving up the game here, Ventura. Of course, they will send Kahnle back down and it will be all his fault when you put him in these types of situations before letting him get his feet wet and building some confidence. Of course he's naturally going to try to do too much to prove he belongs and that will always result in overthrowing and his stuff flattening out. At least he broke Maybin's bat on that change-up. That was actually a decent pitch. But you can't throw 96-98 mph arrow straight fastballs past the Tigers for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 If the Sox end up finishing behind Minnesota, that will be something that costs KW OR Hahn their jobs. MAYBE. 3-10 against DET, CLE and KC just isn't going to cut it. Especially when Zimmermann was hittable tonight and Rodon's defense collapsed behind him.

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Is there anyone else here in this game thread who would have chosen Kahnle over Jennings/Purke/Putnam/Duke? HONESTLY? Meanwhile, 34 pitches in one inning...and counting, Robin leaving him hanging out to dry. LOL. Of course Justin Upton bails him out by swinging at a ball. THANK GOD he wasn't interested in the White Sox signing him. Trying for the grand slam there instead of taking the free RBI/walk. Pathetic on both sides.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Well Robin probably doesn't want to use his best relievers when behind . Has Purke even pitched yet . Odd though just to concede a game like this. We have the pitching match up advantage for the next 2 games so maybe Robin wants to optimize the chances to win in those games.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Against Detroit's bullpen the game should never be conceded. But when Saladino hit into the DP that pretty much sealed the Sox fate. I like Saladino better when he tries hitting to RF better instead of trying to pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSox Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just have to come back & grab the next 2. Worst case they'll be 1.5 games back & in 2nd. Best case, tied for 2nd .5 game back of first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Yeah, that homer might have subconsciously changed Tyler's approach to think he can be a power hitter for now, instead of a contact guy who occasionally gets a hold of one. Cabrera out of the game with a bad back. Yeah, we're definitely not facing the Yankees' or Royals' pens, you can't concede, even on the road...and even those pens have been more than human recently.
