Lip Man 1 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well like the Billy Preston song said, "nothing from nothing leaves nothing..." 0-7 with runners in scoring position generally doesn't bode well. Even when the Sox are good they just can't get it done in Baltimore. At least they are home for a few games before heading out on another long road trip. They can really use the day off Monday it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Q with 5 of the 15 losses. I would not of guessed that a month ago. Edited May 7, 2017 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 1 in one of them and 3 in the other. H hasn't been his usual self, but most pitchers would have 5 losses with his run support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is usually Mr. No decision so to have 7 decisions for him already is unusual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense when he pitches has been ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Couldn't score runs against a pitcher that couldn't throw strikes... That's hall of fame fail level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Looks like a re-building team to me, one that's on its way to the cellar. It's going to be a brutal season, we knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a brutal season, we knew it. It's gonna be brutal only cause Cleveland is still really good. The rest of the teams in our division suck. Sox can't beat the Baltimore's of the world, but if they got rid of a few horrific players and tinkered here and there they might be able to hang around .500. That's because the manager is pretty good. Will be interesting to see if this three game sweep starts the trip to oblivion or if Renteria can get the team to shrug it off. Baltimore is on a different level; we're not gonna beat teams like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Baltimore is far from a GREAT team. A lot of baseball is just the timing of when you play teams, home and away, etc. When you start Dylan Covey, you can't expect to win more than 10-15% of those games. We'll find out how they respond at home against the Twins and Padres, two teams in similar situations as the White Sox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully that is not the plan nor should it be. Staying stuck in mediocrity (like the Bulls for example) is absolutely the very worst thing that you can be.
