Nice job Nate... now stay focused for Granderson

YES

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) 0-2 to a walk ...........Jones just does not look right. He has poor control... and only one pitch that is consistently good. That's not going to work for long...

here we go again

Jones need some secondary pitches badly...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Well he must be done, his first two seasons mean nothing and he should be traded. Good players clearly do not have bad months or even bad seasons This routine...

just can't get clutch hits... always looks like we are up there sweating and no the pitcher. Tired of the mentality.

Todd has some pop thats for sure...it looks like he barely swings and the ball just jumps.

So many of his decisions are so amazingly dense that they defy explanation.

We really do have one dumb manager. Hit and run with a guy who makes contact .200 of the time and super speed of Abreu

Good start.. now we need a bunch in a row...

Has anyone seen the Real Jose (please stand up... please stand up)?

Really liked his interview after the game. Wow what a game he had...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) That perspective works both ways. Is it "perspective" or denial? I'm not saying I know for sure...but I have trouble (taking the last 4 years plus this losing streak) to not see it as denial.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) Can't believe we've turned a 7 game lead over KC into a 2 game deficit. Not even September of 2012 was this much of a collapse. It was 13 and -1, it's about to be 2 and 6. We've lost 11 games to .500 and they've gained 7. And Verlander's back to throwing darts...neither he or Chacin have given up a run in LA, tied 0-0 still. ehh really don't care what other teams are doing right now. We can't even win a game so its pretty much a waste of time to even pay attention to the standings.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 30, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Runners on 1st and 2nd. No outs and close game-pitchers duel. Cabrera sac blunts and now two in scoring position. One out and your RBI man up. He couldn't deliver. Tgevplay was good. Now if it had worked we would saying how much of a genius Ventura was. Don't bunt and Cabrera grounded into a DP we would have heard how bad Ventura was because he didn't bunt. Bank on it If anyone (which I highly doubt) would have been asking for your 3 hitter to bunt .... usually your best of one of your best hitters. They would be smoking some good stuff. That just never happens.... I think I've seen it twice in 10 years. Do you really believe that?

I'll give you that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) Sale is right. What has Ventura done to keep his job? Sale is saying what he should say... who knows what any of them really think.

Nothing will change until there are some changes at the top... we continue to get new players and its the same mentally weak team year after year. They need to start with Ventura... but that's probably not enough. But hey it's worth a try.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2016 -> 03:20 PM) The bullpen blows. I thought Nate had figured something out. I thought Robertson truly was elite. He's OK on most occasions but obviously not a big-game pitcher (see the Royals choke job). The pen is sub-par again. I'd give it a C- to D. right it's exactly a C- or D.

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ May 30, 2016 -> 12:17 AM) I didn't get very far into this post. I stopped at Nate Jones being a one-pitch pitcher. Nate Jones has an elite slider, when it's on. Elite. Really? How many games have you watched him pitch this year where is slider was wiping people out? It has hardly happened... he didn't even throw it against KC. Weird to have an Elite pitch that you won't throw.

Robin is Goooooood.

He also bunts with his 3rd place hitter.... he does that well.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) I actually was loving our bullpen at 23-10. Coop needs to become Ned Yost and demand 7 innings from our starters. Just like every year in the Robin era, if our starter has to get yanked to start the seventh we're doomed. Nate - never liked him cause of his weird delivery/motion. You've all disagreed with me. Jennings - Just another guy. Gas can if he faces too many batters in a row. Albers - Pathetic. Needs to lose 20 pounds and we'll talk. Duke - Dogs***. One batter or two and pray the law of averages has him record an out? Putnam - Doesn't thrill me. David - Had been pretty damn good til that sickening outing. You really would think he was throwing the game. He was so bad. His biggest blunder was not knowing the defense and letting that grounder be an EASY DP. He goes for it and knocks the ball down. If he was throwing the game, that was the way to do it, interfere with an EASY DP. Know your defensive positioning, David. My gawd. Yep again look at what we have in the bullpen... its not exactly a fortress of ability.
