Ventura maintaining his predictable ways until the very end. Well, perhaps he learned not to walk the bases loaded with Jennings out there and a leadoff hitter on 3rd.

greg775 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 LOL. It's pretty bad when you have to concede games like Robin does by putting in Albers. Fathom woulda won it earlier with a home run off that stiff Albers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 That was predictable. DFA Hahn or Albers. One of them will suffice. Why did we bring up Coats again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, perhaps he learned not to walk the bases loaded with Jennings out there and a leadoff hitter on 3rd. Robin concedes too many games. Putting in Albers in extra innings means throwing in the towel. I do think the DFA finally is coming. Albers is incapable of getting big league hitters out.

greg775 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Eaton didn't exactly resemble Willie Mays on that single up the middle by Cain. Not that it matters with Albers. Is he one of the worse pitchers in modern day Sox history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thad Bosley Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) you sure post like you very strongly dislike the handling of this team. does that more fit how you post about the owner. You really enjoy playing the semantics game. I've never said in any post the owner sucks. I've been saying the opposite. He has done many good things for the organization and baseball itself for that matter. Yes, you always respond that the owner is the issue. For example?
