The Sox have been getting screwed by the umpires left and right lately. What has been missing? Our fearless manager Ricky Renteria defending his players and getting tossed.
Ozzie was never afraid to defend his guys and get tossed. That was one of the best parts about him. If his guys were getting shafted and started arguing, Ozzie would get his butt out there and argue for them. You don't see Ricky doing this much. See below for an example. We need manager who will stand up for his guys.
He does just fine when the team he bad. Jose is King of hitting when there is no pressure. The guy was worth 1.2 fWAR last year and has been worth 0.3 fWAR this year. He just isn't that good! Sub 800 OPS this year. You replace him with Palka or Collins and not much changes IMO
Players don't want to go to the Bulls. The bulls front office has a bad reputation. Plus, they don't have Max cap space. They may use all their space to get Brogdon, if the bucks let him go. Doubt they do though
How's he doing now? Jose is on one of his patented ice cold streaks where he is complete garbage. We don't need Jose past this season. Vaughn may be a better hitter than him NOW
If it's so easy for Stone to steal signs, what stops MLB team from doing it? Put a headphone in the batting helmets and go. I assume this is very against the rules
It's aggravating because he'll have a few games where he demolishes the ball and brings his numbers back up, then he goes on horrible cold streaks where he is Yonder Alonso bad.
Great thread. I would personally nmove Bush to category 3. He's very raw and young for where he is at. The AA crew has been extremely disappointing though, minus Madrigal and Robert
