The problem with this team is the run differential is always small. That leaves for Tony, boneheaded play, someone's turn in the pen to choke, to ruin it.
Odd though is when the put up a bunch of run they make up for it by losing the next day.
Like his so called future replacement? I don't know why I'm down on Vaughn but after a great game - 2 days rest. I'd think players would want to be on the field.
LOL. We are referring to a team who doesn't have much of a playoff history. If you replace the Sox with Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, that would make more sense.
Those were studs back in the days. It wasn't unusual for a manager left their top starters in for 10. That what you did with aces instead of wondering if you take them out after 5-6. Modern baseball is so pussified.
I remember watching Nordagen would fall asleep behind the plate and forget there was a man on with a passed ball.
I was at the game where the ball bounced off Leflore's head.
Then there was the really good Sox in the 90's before the internet to get tickets and dad driving 90 minutes in hopes to get tickets Sox vs Yankees and being sold out.
Bat day - no bobbleheads
Then again stink spreads and it got to him. TA in a serious slump is not good. As for Vaughn I wonder if he is soft. Abreu wants to play everyday. So does Leury but he's bad at it.
