caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Blown saves don't matter. Two years in a row, we could have traded Robertson. But, no. Fire everyone. Edited September 4, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Between Suzuki, Dozier and Buxton the Sox have had their hands full. Of course terrible pitching will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Trading Robertson has to happen this winter. 6 blown saves it feels like 15 Edited September 4, 2016 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 An extra innings game with these teams is fitting punishment. Will walk Dozier to face Polanco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, so we can do our own version of the Shields trade now. How much money would we have to eat on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Interesting take on MLB network just now - Robertson was measured as having the "longest stride" in the big leagues and when his fastball was 93 the long stride made it harder to pick up the ball, but if he were to lose a little in velocity in their opinion that could trigger a really dramatic dropoff.

According to fangraphs, his fastball is as quick as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Suzuki should be signed by the Sox just to prevent 2-3 losses per season. Raburned again. Now who will the Sox bullpen turn to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Why is it when the teams sucks, the manager gets blamed, the hitting coach gets blamed, and when it's good, they really don't get much credit. Yet, with Cooper it is exactly the opposite. He gets credit for all their success, no no blame for their failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing last. Interestingly, they have played better in KC than in Chicago recently. For whatever reason, the suckage doesn't seem to discriminate...in general. In Detroit, the Tigers have owned the Sox. Eaton wearing an 0 for 6. Nate Jones is next. Wimmer for the Twins. Seven blown saves for Robertson, plus the six or seven run lead that was blown that doesn't actually count as a blown save because you can't pitch yourself into a save situation, so essentially 8.

But as I tried to point out a couple weeks ago - pitching development isn't keeping up with the standard they're demanding either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
