South Side Hit Men Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 On 8/24/2022 at 1:32 AM, fathom said: Could you imagine how much Stoney would have blamed Renteria if his team didn’t hustle like this? Expand On 8/24/2022 at 1:33 AM, maxjusttyped said: Stone acting like Renteria was the worst manager he's ever seen during 2020 is still so bizarre to me Expand Jerry instructed his worthless paid hacks to attack Renteria, knowing full well he already hired Tony in the Spring or Summer. Fully convinced of the Sox won the fucking WS in 2020, they would still have fired Renteria. Tony was toxic to the universe before his DUI, had no chance of remaining with the Angels or being hired anywhere else’s once his DUI arrest was leaked. On 8/24/2022 at 1:53 AM, fathom said: Orioles are just as good as the Sox Expand Orioles are better. They would be 10+ over .500 if they played the imbalanced AL Central schedule, and the Sox ten - games under if they played the AL East schedule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Luck is a huge element in sports, especially in close contests. An inch, a bad bounce, or a couple of long balls that fall just short of being home runs. One bad hanging pitch driven out for a 3 run home run...one of just 5 hits in the game.

Expand Jose swung at a 3-2 pitch out of the strike zone, plate discipline comes into play there especially in that situation. Eloy is considered "day to day" X-rays were negative. We'll see if the Sox sit him for 3-4 days then decide to play shorthanded before placing him on the IL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
