greg775 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:33 AM) All but two of the strikeouts on splitters I believe. Can't believe anyone thinks this team can outlast Boston, Houston and Toronto What are they ... five games back? Time to get real. I know you are realistic but cmon optimists. Five games might as well be 10 with a sub-standard team like the Sox. Hope we have a good April again next year then build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Now watching the post game show. Frazier has a .143 batting average with runners in scoring position and Abreu ,259. Too many strikeouts and no long balls but the hitters are swinging at everything. Edited July 17, 2016 by elrockinMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'll repeat again....so everyone is mad with the team Rick Hahn assembled. But you want him to make the most important trade in franchise history. One that may decide if we are competitive in five years or go 20 years without winning. Do I have that right?

soxfan85 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 We might as well go for the all-time scoreless offensive innings streak now...just to make it a special season for this special team. How the hell did we start out 23-10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) If true, thats another reason Robin should be fired. And Steverson should go with him. No one in this organization is getting fired. Sox brass are afraid of setting off a domino effect that could happen by firing Sterverson. The problems on this Sox team run much deeper than the hitting coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:33 PM) I'm becoming more open to selling, but if we're gonna do it, we have to do it right. No half-assing it. I mean trading Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Frazier, everyone 27 and over basically. I feel like if we sold, we'd keep one of Sale/Q and keep us perpetually average I agree. This is what I want. They can wait to move Sale and Q til the offseason if they can't get what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) I mean if your going to do a rebuild you need to do it right. They have to fire atleast Rick Hahn. Get a whole new scouting staff/GM in here. Then that's when you trade players. After they've done their work. You dont trade them when this front office has very questionable scouting going on clearly. Getting the Sale trade wrong could definitely cause this team to move. That's how serious it is. It sets them up for 5+ years down the line. But do any of you actually think they are going to give up on this season? Robin's job is on the line. Maybe Rick Hahn's. You think they are going to stop fighting? They might as well pack their bags if they trade Q. They are going to get fired if that's their plan. Hell I bet JR fires Hahn before he could even make a trade of that magnitude. Edited July 17, 2016 by Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
