The consensus ive seen both on here and twitter is that he has sucked all year, but the sox won in spite of his boneheaded lineups and bullpen decisions.

ShoeLessRob Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Pathetic. On a side note... do you guys think all these in game bullpen decisions are solely Renterias call or does Cooper have input. I’m just curious. Not defending either.

Harry Chappas Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 My guess is the bullpen is scripted to get guyscinnings and stay fresh like spring training......that is all I van think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 You had the suspicion that, as an organization, they did not care about playoff seeding, but now they will head into the postseason with zero momentum.

It had to be bummer. I see where you are coming from but 1) I think you can only do it if we had won 1 or 2 of the last few games. 4 game sweep to your division rivals will fuck with the locker room, this game was too important to throw away on an experiment. 2) Again, a good manager sets his players up for success. First, give Rodon low-leverage clean innings to work the rust off. Once he shows he can adapt to bullpen usage, THEN try him out in high-leverage. Literally nothing in Rodon's career gives any evidence that he would do well in the situation he was brought into. If this was someone like, idk, Dunning, who has shown great control, maybe you can jump straight to trying him in this scenario (still really really don't like it after a guy has missed weeks due to injury - while Bummer is the obvious choice over Rodon there I still don't love bringing him in either), but not Rodon.

South Side Hit Men Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 25 minutes ago, fathom said: You don’t bring a guy with his history of wildness into a situation where he can’t throw his best pitch a lot (slider) Hahn gave him yet another match, and it was struck. Can't blame the arsonist on this one (the other two, yes). If this debacle takes Rodon off of any playoff roster consideration, then today's loss was worth it. No competent Front Office throws a poor performer with no experience into a new role coming off a 45 day IL stint into meaningful games. Gar / Pax is not competent, hence Rodon Time with four games to go!!! If Rodon is on the playoff roster, that is a either a dead spot or one that will once again come back to bite the Sox on the ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have the right guy leading the ship But I will again ask the question, who makes these decisions. Does RR make the bullpen decisions , does Coop make them or does the front office "stats person" make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 1 hour ago, SouthWallace said: Sox cave in 3 of 4 are are swept. What a collapse Utter Garbage. I know this isn’t any consolation right now, but I think this is exactly what had to happen to rid themselves of RR. Have the team go through a demoralizing series with one questionable decision after another, dragging ass into the playoffs, is enough for MOST fans to overlook the “first playoff appearance since 2008” or “if you would have told me before the season started” lines I’ve seem thrown around here. Fire RR, fix the roster problems, and enter next season with some momentum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
