It's been that way for quite some time. I remember when cable became more mainstream when MTV was in most households. You had TBS to watch the Braves, USA had Thursday Night Baseball, MNB on ABC, your Saturday game of the week. Now you need and upgraded cable package to watch even local baseball at least here in Phoenix just to see the Diamondbacks. Fantasy sports and gambling make the NFL much more popular.

There will be more than one owner who thinks that's a high price for one to play 2B.

Reinsdorf's problem is valuing loyalty over performance. How many scouts get replaced or how many former players are involved in the farm systems and their ability is never questioned? The better big market teams still have great farm systems. This isn't the only organization that's been a joke this long.

People seem to miss that. Eloy and Robert have basically one full season.

When has this organization ever really been good at drafting this century? How many guys are drafted with the weakness of catching a baseball or lacking in the basic fundamentals? People complain of about Reinsdorf being cheap but he values loyalty over performance. Too many former players and fans buy into that. That doesn't seem to produce.

He always had that option as an Asst. GM. They only thing that kept him here is he was well paid. Hahn's strength has been contracts.

Same here. I have no issue with low scoring. No DH makes it far more interesting in deciding to pull a pitcher.

They didn't really play in the NL. It's veterans that never really pan out. I'm sure fans will ooh and aah over some NL guy Hahn will get and they will not be productive until maybe August.

NL talent just doesn't work for the Sox. It doesn't. There is no paper to prove otherwise but it takes eyes to see.

That's the way I feel. This is not a seasoned post season team.

Small sample size to make that statement.

Sucks I can't watch this game in the Pheonix area with basic cable or my MLB sub.

LOL! The pressure is on both teams.

How many times have World Series been won by a team that was hot? It happens in the world of professional sports.

Sox didn't give up much for him and I'm still not a fan of the Kimbrel trade. He does have post season experience.

We can always use another one the goes on the IL.

He is their weakest link.

When a sports journalist can't get the obvious right the 1st time there's no need to read the rest,

It was an act in hoping we forget that he sucks.

This is just fodder to create drama by the media and fans buy into it. Some of the theories are ridiculous. Tony on the other hand is always an asshole when his players get hit. I still haven't forgotten he started an incident when Thigpen accidentally hit one of the A's players in the head.

Agree. It's not time to do stupid things when you are guaranteed post season baseball. Stupid on Jose's part and so out of character. The team almost wasted another rare Dallas start.

Thanks for posting this. The minors have been lack luster since the stubs are in the big leagues.

This team went from the dreaded lead off walk to the dreaded 2 out hit.

I never thought I would be a fan of Billy Hamilton.

B&B were getting terrible. They started injecting their political views. They liked to insult callers who didn't agree with them. Their opinion was the only one that mattered. They were also like most media and every thing was tabloid over truth.
