greg775 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Six home runs and getting killed. Team Dysfunction is at it again. It's hard to do some of the things this team does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) I hate this team. When you have 3 starting pitchers, 4 relievers and like 5 hitters that are starting MLB starting caliber.....you are gonna be pretty mediocre. I'm sure the great Hahn will make some more horrible transactions that will be blamed on Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The last thing they need to worry about is changing Tim Anderson's position to shoehorn Tyler Saladino into the line-up. If they want to give him some playing time, let him play 3B (and DH Frazier) or DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 05:08 PM) Unless cleveland comes back down to reality, no one in the central will catch them. Sox best hope is the wildcard I think. Obviously if cleveland starts to play like everyone thought they would then the sox could make a run at them. "Everyone thought they would" in a bad context? I think there were a number of people, me included, who thought they were on paper the best team in this division before the season started. If Kluber could get into a groove they could really be scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he once was the mostly highly-touted arm in the Dominican and received the biggest signing bonus (at the time) in history. So basically, the Joe Borchard of pitching prospects.

I think there were a number of people, me included, who thought they were on paper the best team in this division before the season started. If Kluber could get into a groove they could really be scary. If anything Kluber has been disappointing. Salazar, Carrasco (when healthy), Tomlin and Bauer have all outperformed expectations, but maybe not their own expectations in CLE. I guess it's fair to say Tomlin's record, but we could say the same for Mat Latos. And this is without Brantley, Gomes not being 100%, Almonte/Byrd suspended for PED's and some pretty big holes in their bullpen (including Shaw's struggles in set-up). Doesn't hurt that they have 5 Top 100 MILB prospects, to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, supposedly Hahn "insisted" on Ynoa being included or the deal wouldn't have been made (with another A's prospect substituted). It's just a shame with his health/injury history that Ynoa can't make a legit go at starting. He'd have to develop a more consistent 3rd pitch, but he has two with the FB and slider.

oldsox Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) Wasn't there a game a few weeks ago where they set the record for biggest number of solo HR in a single game? Rockies beat someone 5-3. Every run in game was scored on a solo HR. Total 8. Previous record was 5, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
