caulfield12 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) We need fastball hitters. Abreu’s increasingly losing bat speed. Collins would have to massively retool his swing, Reed has a long/extended swing as well. Jose did a good job to pull his hands in and at least make contact, but he’s not driving those mid 90’s and above fastballs in recent weeks. The one I remember was against Boston, but haven’t been following every game this year. Edited July 18, 2019 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Why the hell did McCann not hit for Reed? Regardless, the Sox are moving toward another top 7 pick and Moncada had 3 hits today. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 It’s pretty pathetic that we can’t even count on Yoan stealing 2nd against a righty reliever to get into scoring position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 You know, at least the White Sox know where they stand. That illusion of being competitive should be gone. Let’s not act as if we’ll need any of the veterans. Trade all of the veterans and acquire young talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying it's absolutely baffling why he hasn't been using his speed tool since he's been here. He should've stole more bases last year too. He steals 2nd there, Abreu's hit ties the game. The little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool to play the game that way anymore, I guess. Robert probably ends up the same way, too much fear of injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Tough game to watch. Hot day. Hardly anyone in the ballpark. Sox lose seventh in a row. It doesn't get any more lethargic that this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Trade Abreu if he wants to come back for 2 year extension fine, but no reason to keep him last 2 months. Edited July 18, 2019 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Wow... That's all I've got...just...wow. Rebuild or not, when you get swept by the putrid Royals you've got serious issues. Starting pitching was awful once again and the fact that the Sox don't really have options should be an eye opener, after all this isn't year one of the rebuild.

bubba phillips Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Before the 1st game of this series, someone posted that we need to sweep these pathetic bums. He was right----except we're the pathetic bums. Lose 4 in a row to a team that was 30 games below .500 at the All-Star break. Nice. Very. Nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batting average means nothing. The important stat is Runs Scored. Theoretically, you can have 6 hits in an inning, and not score a run and your batting average for the inning would be 1.000.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 So glad Rick gave them a relaxed schedule coming out of the Athletics series it really did wonders. I'm tired of having a moronic baby sitter as a manager. Joe Girardi is tanned rested and ready. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Sox are notorious for loading the bases with no outs and scoring 1 run or less. Edited July 18, 2019 by GradMc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how St. Theo treated Renteria, he's probably already told Joe the job is his. No accomplished manager will be taking over for two reasons: (1) Reinsdorf is not paying. (2) Don Cooper has to be retained. Edited July 18, 2019 by GradMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
