fathom Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 These at bats are just horrible. Swinging at pitches not even close to the zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox lead the league in striking out. When you don’t make productive outs, the offense suffers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 One of the worst lineups in Sox history? You can put it on the board, YES!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renteria, Steverson, and the entire coaching staff should be sent packing at the end of the season. But we all know it won’t happen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you sent the coaching staff a thank you for overachieving with scrubs the first half, especially with the pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have no problem with that if they had better on-field management and coaching. Maybe its the "contagion" of a pervasive losing culture at the MLB level.

Renteria and his love for the bunt can get in a time machine and go back to an era of baseball when it was relevant.

soxfan49 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Engel will surely go back to being bad and relatively fast but he's been noticeably better at the plate. Forget the hits. He really does have a better eye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Castillo is just as shitty as Collins was with even more opportunity + one is going to be with the organization/piece of a trade for a better asset next season, so again I ask, what the hell was the point?
