I would definitely be cool with Girardi. Vizquel at least lets his fast guys run/steal bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose is winning that poll on soxtalk by a 3-1 margin on both questions. A lot of peeps agree with greg but must be shy about posting. Jose is a likeable guy by all accounts. Don't see why you and others would be so vocally against him when we haven't played a meaningful game after mid July in many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Cub fans who have soured on Maddon for his odd use of players in nutty positions. I think Gerardi would go to the first Chicago team who offered the job.

The only way Ricky wont be here next year is if Omar gets a job offer from a MLB team. Otherwise Ricky will be here until he doesnt want to be here.

kwolf68 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) In every game pitched Cease has had one really shitty inning, then usually settles it down. This is part of making the jump. Gonna be some hiccups. Good time to have them, sort things out when the wins don't really "mean much". Edited July 27, 2019 by kwolf68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
