He doesn't have any medical people around him, and he looks upset/mad(probably at himself) when the camera showed him. You can basically tell that's why he's out of the game. They showed a replay of his slowing down before hitting first on a bang bang play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarava Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 If Yoan was benched for dogging it, I support that. This is how he will learn his lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a normal organization, jobs would be on the line, including the vaunted pitching coach, who, despite his rep., has rarely fielded a top staff despite some top talent. Ahem. Rebuild. Rebuild. There are two or three sox players of the future on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If jobs are on the line right now then the organization is scrambling like Cleveland in football. You don't judge a team like this on W/L. You judge them a year or two down the road. In 2019 and 2020 you know darn well I'll be on the other side, but right now this is stay the course mode. THIS IS WHAT REBUILDING LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS THE PRICE WE'RE PAYING FOR GOING ALL IN ON 2015 AND 2016 AND LOSING THOSE BETS. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 1 minute ago, Balta1701 said: LOL no. And I can't wait until he's declared a bust when he gives up 8 runs in his 10th start while having no control that day. Listen, the bar here is not very high at this point and quite a few people in the industry thought it was questionable — if not for the service time issue — that we didn't have him up here to start the year. Unlike Giolito, we'll know that Kopech has stuff that can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had a farm in years. This season is the bottom of it. People need to start looking at the minor league performances in our organization. Micker Adolfo is making a killing right now.

flavum Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Wonder what Sox record is giving up runs over 5 games? They’re at 49 now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I applaud Renteria for pulling out the team's most important player for dogging it in a game where they're getting blown out. Doing things like that help reinforce a work ethic and a culture amongst the players. Moncada will never do that again. I wonder what Abreu is going to say to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people aren't prepared for this shit LOL. I knew it could get bad. I'm all in for the struggle, as longs as we start to see some success with these young kids once they're here. I'd say they're allowed to b**** about the performance of players from game to game, but anything about the FO or people needing to be fired for this current team is bullshit, and I am honestly tired of seeing people b**** about the product on the field, when this is to be expected. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Avi was pulled for dogging it either last year or during ST. Absolutely no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Giolito 20 ip,18 hits, 20 er, 19 walks If he throws 50 shutout innings in a row, he will still have a higher ERA than 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
