Jack Parkman Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) 7 minutes ago, bmags said: True, but it's clear they have not invested in the right coaching staff to deal with so much young pitching at once. And to be fair, even atlanta has struggled with that to a point. They've needed vets. Sox since they lost a true no nonsense pitcher with quintana have been drowning. I 100% agree, but you know how this organization is. At least the Bulls FO have the cojones to shitcan the coaching staff every now and then. Nothing is changing until the Sox get new ownership. There will be no winning, and lots of 95-100 loss seasons until then. This is a very dark time for the Sox. Some of these guys are going to be good, but it is all going to be wasted because the FO and Player Development staff is 10-15 years behind the rest of baseball.

The problem lies in thinking that he is or will ever be a top of the rotation arm. He doesn't throw enough strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets out managed on a daily basis and his teams lack basic baseball fundamentals. I'm not sure why the hell he's here. agreed. I've seen enough of this shit show. Just get Omar up here and let's move along to the inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then, they'll get some old school manager that "knows how to win in baseball", while every other smart org sets up a smart, progressive baseball front office with a manager to execute their plan. I'd be very happy to even have the twins set-up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Here is the thing: Hahn thinks we are all crazy to be complaining because this is the rebuild and he thinks its ok to lose. I dont agree. We have to build an attitude of winning and good baseball. Hahn would rather not make the playoffs this season and get a better pick. We can see thats how this team plays on the field. Ricky cant be Ricky if the higher ups keep telling him its ok to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 anyway i think it's again worth pointing out that every at bat that we started off with a four seam fastball reached base last inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Castillos approach of "seeing if blake snell will get castillo on base" was a noble shot. Really love not swinging on 3-1...beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDog847 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This is what a tanking baseball team looks like!!!!! Better get used to it cause we still got 2-3 more years of it most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky cant be Ricky if the higher ups keep telling him its ok to lose. Actually there was an attempt to make the team better and start winning this year. Considering how bad the team will likely be this season Hahn would probably prefer to deny that and claim losing is still part of the plan. Trading Omar for 2 years of Colome is a win now trade.

bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 You know, blake snell is awesome and we shouldn't expect to beat him. But everything on the other side of it is quite honestly embarrassing, especially staring in the face an org that has half our resources and continues to outperform us for the last decade.
