chitownsportsfan Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 some of the worst BABIP luck I've ever seen to start a year as well. It's uncanny at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 They're 1-6 in games decided by 3 runs or less and the only reason that's not about to be 1-7 is because TLR brought in Ruiz instead of literally any other option in the bullpen. This team doesn't have the talent to overcome totally incompetent managing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 We stuck with another bad manager for 5 - 6 years. Thanks JR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Saddest part is that JR will never admit he made a mistake with LaRussa.

They were unlikely to mount a rally against Barnes, but Eaton’s also lost a couple of steps in RF as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'll admit this slow start is kind of sad/annoying. So many guys starting slowly plus the injuries to TA (he's back) and Eloy have killed the Sox so far. Team doesn't pass the eye test yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 This sucks man. So many hopes for this team all fucked by ownership and a drunk for a manager. Can't invest this much time on a shit product anymore 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but punting 1 run games is completely inexcusable. Especially when Ruiz entered the game with 2 outs. You can bring in Bummer to face a lefty and the odds are very good he's not gonna implode to the point you lose him for tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks JR If they are going to stick with TLR, the only way is if they gut the front office. Even that won’t pacify the fans for long. It will get really ugly...everyone is going to pick sides to assess blame. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Should have scored off Pivetta while they could have the first few innings. We did get unlucky this game with Moncada basically hitting a grand slam that ended up being an out. But they looked like crap against the bullpen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have the never burn high-leverage relievers in games you’re trailing axiom. Could just see that coming a mile a mile away with either Ruiz or Foster coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team doesn't have the talent to overcome totally incompetent managing. Winning close games is a sign of good managing and a good team. It appears we don't have either of those thus far.
