His own leader, Abreu, said the team let off. Great job leading the men Rick! Yup the fact that a manager let the team stop playing hard after just clinching a playoff spot doesn't bode well for Ricky at all. It kind of just shows the fact that we were winning in spite of him and whatever he did for the clubhouse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Sox look bad when they aren't hitting. Let's get Robert going and the other guys need to relax and play bash ball. We gotta get the home run mojo going in the playoffs. 3 to 4 a game will do it. Sox are struggling but not dead yet. Sox have played the same teams so many times it's just a weird thing. Don't give up the ship yet. Team is gonna be hungry. Jose and EE are veterans and will have the younger Sox ready for playoffs. Look for Moncada to have a big postseason and Grandal to step up. Sox ain't dead yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly reminds me of the 2016 series in KC where they blew that awful game in the 9th inning...and when they blew it the next game, you just shrugged your shoulders.

wegner Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 A couple of weeks ago, I doubt anyone wanted to play the Sox in the 1st round. I'm sure they are the preferred opponent now. This offense is beyond pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Not to mention which Moncada are we going to get next season? 2016-18 and 2020, or the 2019 Yoan Moncada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE and leadership this year....not seeing it. McCann has been a much more important leader IMO. You can't be a leader of anything hitting .170 and as a DH with an OPS well into the 600's. What would be the difference between Jay/Alonso DHing vs. EE this year? Except for about $5-7 million wasted...and Vaughn blocked.

I also think we’re facing dynamite pitching, which is terrible timing for a lineup where half the team is slumping horribly.

chitownsportsfan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Ruiz and Gio just pitched back to back the highest leverage innings of the season. Did I already post this? You can only laugh to keep from crying. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I honestly think 2005 Joe Borchard would have had a better chance in that post-season (had he been included on the roster) than 2020 Luis Robert with where his head is at right now...

southsideirish71 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I thought managers dont have an impact on the game. Then I watch the clown show trot out the last arms in the pen. I cant wait for him to throw Cishek out tomorrow in the 9th. Why not. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that has helped us is we have had good pitching as well much of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
