Ok bro, let's not get cocky before the game is over!

Marlins beat the Rockies 5-3, ALL EIGHT runs were scored on solo homers...now that's baseball for you.

 

 

Great job by Abreu....he's proving he can hit fastballs again, even if he's still swinging at too much pitches outside the zone.

 

Dubious pitch calling there by the Red Sox. Offspeed stuff off the plate and he's a dead duck.

How many times will we read this over the next few weeks lol

 

 

After the Albers Miracle Double game...wins against the Mets, and also taking 2/3 against the Tigers.

Alex Avila saved this baseball game

 

Yes he did for sure.

Red Sox manager in the 9th over managed.

Great job by Avi getting on base

 

That 0-1 pitch was right down the plate.

What? How was that not a strike?

How was that 2nd pitch NOT a freaking strike?

 

You've got to be kidding here.

The Ventura obsession here is a little excessive. Sure he makes some strange decisions (particularly with the lineup order though the importance of that isn't huge) but so do a lot of managers, the standard isn't exactly high. Ventura actually ranked in the top third in terms of good use of your best relievers in high leverage situations last year: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb...ny-joe-girardi/

 

Inspiring the players and creating a good atmosphere in the clubhouse is less tangible but it seems like in the last month anything bad the players do is on Robin and not on the fact that we have a lot of bad players.

 

By far and away the White Sox's biggest problem has been talent evaluation. Nobody's really doing anything dramatically different than what you'd expect given their career numbers and random deviation. I like Hahn but his poor decisions have effected this team more than Robin's in my opinion.

Abreu...

Abreu bails out Tim

Normally, you expect Pedroia to win the game there...after that, it wasn't a surprise because of the inexperience.

 

But using Kimbrel his 3rd straight day.

Non-save opportunities, 4.35 ERA. Nearly unhittable in save situations. 17 consecutive scoreless outings at Fenway.

Easy 1-2-3 for Robo?

Bogaerts probably checked that swing...Sox catch a break.

 

 

0/19 for the first five hitters. Crazy. They must think Robertson's pitching for the Yankees, instead.

When he is on Robertson is nasty. The only pitcher in MLB history to average more than 10k/9 innings each of his first 7 seasons.

LOL

Should've after that non strike call

The anti-Ventura crowd largely agrees there's a talent evaluation problem too though. It's not one against the other. The manager is the first thing that could be replaced and be done over night, though.

Are you kidding me

LOL.

 

Of course, there needs to be some drama with Robertson out there.

 

Routine pop up to shallow LF, overshifted....that's where shifting can hurt you.

 

Hanley Ramirez with a chance to tie it.
