It’s really a shame that there is such a wealth of talented players, but a manager who has no clue. This will become apparent when the Indians, Tigers, and Royals rebuilds surpass that of the Sox.
Ricky may not believe in analytics, but he better believe that this team must cut down on the Strikeouts next year. The Sox have to lead the majors in striking out? The inability to put the ball in play is absolutely killing this offense.
Good teams make the Sox look like a minor league team! This weeks games against Minnesota and Atlanta indicate just how far away this team is from competing.
Pinch hitting Skole made no sense to me since another player is needed to play the outfield. Why not ph Jay since he’s the one going into the outfield. This way you only use up one bench player. Besides,I’d have more confidence that Jay would make contact.
