maloney.adam Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) I don’t think this team is a playoff team this year. Way too many injuries have messed up the lineup. Also the starting pitchers can’t go 6 innings or more is a bad sign. I wonder what all the praise was about in the offseason about Katz.

No we don't. Ball rolled 10 feet away. That inning was not on the defense. Foster got lit up and our 2nd in rotation stud left hand pitcher walked the left handed lead off guy with a 3 run lead on a non competitive ball 4 pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 If the friggin starters cant even go 6 friggin innings this is going to be a long friggin year. Just go friggen 6 and give up 3 or less runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go friggen 6 and give up 3 or less runs. The average start in baseball this year has been less than 5 innings. This is the norm for almost every team right now. The Sox should be as equipped as anyone to handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bad luck and bad results today He did get unlucky, but it was also clear he couldn't put Ty France away no matter what. France is on fire right now, but still.

It’s been 7 games. A 3-4 west coast road trip isn’t all that bad all things considered. Could we have gone 5-2 or 6-1? Sure, but it doesn’t bury us or anything.

It’s early in the season and the starter is knocking on the door of 100 pitches. We are supposed to have one of the best bullpens in the Majors so be LaRusa uses it. The relief corp has been less than stellar five out of seven games. LaRussa makes the moves and the players are supposed to perform LaRussa used the worst guys in that bullpen! Bummer hasn’t pitched in 3 days, Hendricks once all season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a runner on first on the next batter we get at least one on the force instead of the bases getting loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb compounding dumb, with some bad managerial decisions mixed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
