caulfield12 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Great, yay Sox, #3 pick. Whatever. Would rather have a new manager. At least Giolito is finally showing signs of turning things around, but Moncada’s really looking lost on both sides of the ball. Some highlight plays, routine errors and just plain Lackadaisical ones that shouldn’t even be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning teams shorten up and get it done. Too much greed and boneheaded play. Anderson starting to get in the Alexei dumb category... He blocked the bag with his foot...that used to be illegal. Next time, you go in feet first and he’ll rethink that strategy. At least he’s hitting, and on pace for 25 or 30/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hopes establish how out of his league Renteria is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Listening to the radio feed, you could swear it was a spring training game at the Twins’ facility...Sox fans were definitely outnumbered.

Just yesterday Moncada was on his way back and was a budding star. Now he's a bust and a lost cause less than 24 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has even admitted that fact. We can make excuses for everyone, the sun got in Tilson’s eyes, blah blah blah...but major league players need to execute. Moncada needs to practice his bunting more or Renteria needs to be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Cause Anderson is a damn hotdog, shut up and play...And I don't know where your getting I only get mad at anderson and not the others.... I don't like dumb baseball, these guys play for thousands and millions of dollars... And the other thing I hate is that I see a trend with the sox liking no fundamentals in players and not instilling them in the low levels...

chitownsportsfan Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Of course they have a completely disheartening, awful, no good loss as they try and go for four in a row. Maybe this will cheer some of us up. THE MOTHERFUCKERS DON'T EVEN WORK. 85% of the world is working, the other 15% come out here [to day baseball]. PLAYGROUND FOR THE COCKSUCKERS. THEY TALK ABOUT THE GREAT FUCKING SUPPORT THE PLAYERS GET AROUND HERE. I HAVEN'T FUCKING SEEN IT. Edited June 28, 2018 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just now, JoshPR said: North part. Where did you go? I haven't been down there in 10 yrs About 7 years ago I rented a place down in Isla Verde (calle Urano, lol) for about 5 weeks. This was after my dad passed and I had a bit of money and time to figure shit out, was still in my mid 20s. Also spent a week in San Juan as a teen with my parents. When I was there last time we took a couple days and drove all around the island. Saw pretty much all of it including El Yungue and Arecibo and the poorer southern side. I'm a huge fan of cuchifritos and mufongo but here in the PNW there's no good PR joints IMO. I had a bunch in NYC I liked but none here, they are all really mediocre. Not nearly enough garlic in the mufongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Giolito pitched his ass off today. Second good start in a row for that kid. Very encouraging. Was so happy to see the Sox get that run in the 9th inning and get him off the hook...no way in hell he deserved a loss. Speaking of the 9th inning that was the most excited I've been watching a Sox inning in a long time, was standing hoping they'd end it. I have no idea what Moncada was looking for or thinking in that 9th inning at-bat. That pitch was perfect for a left hander (I know I am one) and should have been ripped, instead he stands there. Kid flashes potential but man he's got a long, long, looonnnggg way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is his first where he's been in the majors before mid-July. He's got 500 MLB ABs, but this is his first season in MLB from April-October.
