Offense needs to start doing something and do so soon.

2 runs probably enough against this crap team.

Yeah, Colon being too aggressive. He's far from a burner...that was too much aggressiveness. At least Orlando has something of a history of success stealing at the major league level.

Quickest strikeout ever for Lawrie.

Might have to add a 3 starter, too.

 

No rhythm or tempo, everything's going wrong. Zero confidence right now.

 

No doubt Carlos Rodon has all the talent in the world. Problem is he us learning to pitch in the big leagues

Lawrie's OPS is down to 717 now. Not bad, but we got fooled into thinking near All-Star year there for awhile.

 

He's just really streaky and strikes out a ton. Not dissimilar from Frazier. And he's clearly our 5th best hitter.

 

Avila takes more pitches for strikes than anyone in baseball.

Just horrendous at bats. Avi's pitch recognition would be bad in T-ball

Ventura strikes out the side, two on three pitches. This offense is a f***ing joke.

This team is so fubar.

If you listen closely, you can hear the axe sharpening.

We make Ventura look like the best in the business

That was the most woeful and negligible offensively productive inning all season long.

 

Steverson...nobody even cares about him anymore, or his "philosophies."

I am more thinking the Sox should sell and deal off anyone with value and rebuild this thing.. Just not sure can trust the management to do a good job of that either.

At least Avila made him throw more than 3 pitches. #progress

This is going to be a long season. Thought maybe after those two wins they would get back on track but this is still the same bad team now dealing w/ injuries.

Can't wait for the offseason conversation killer...well, we can't add salary because of James Shields now.

 

Fortunately, the Indians rallied from 3-0 down against Huston Street but lost in the bottom of the 9th to the Angels or we'd be 4 1/2 games out.

 

 

Another 93 MPH fastball on the first pitch for a hit. They've got to start varying his pitch patterns.

 

Morneau might just want to retire, lol.

 

 

Avila 1/13 throwing out runners entering today, now 3/15 for 20%.

They should fire Ventura first and see if that does anything for a few weeks.

Rodon just with terrible body language. Frankly, doesn't seem comfortable out there, if you compare it to the way he looked pitching for NC State a couple of years ago.

 

 

Burdi with quite the end to his career. Ouch

Completely agree. I guess they can wait until Thursday before they hit the road, but if they lose today and to the Tigers, it's just time to do it.

They definitely should, but they won't. They also need to add another hitter ASAP. This team is going nowhere with a 5-6-7-8 of Lawrie-Avila-.Garcia-Shuck. Too many bad players in the lineup right now.

Meanwhile, Michael Fulmer has a 2.66 ERA with the Tigers.

 

 

More issues for KC on the basepaths. 3 runners reversed or things would look far worse.

What happened?

3 outs now on the base path for KC

What happened?

 

Gave up walk off slam and UCSB advances
