I don’t like Grifol, but it doesn’t matter who is managing this team with how bad they are. Can you imagine the clubhouse after that one? Arguably the worst loss of the year.

fathom Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I hope Pedro gets fired and never gets a job in baseball again. His bullpen management tonight was truly pathetic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was acting cocky on the basepath and got burned big time. Ended up looking foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, the biggest thing preventing him from being a productive major leaguer was his chase rate and it appears he had made progress there.

greg775 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 29 minutes ago, kitekrazy said: It only makes sense if you have a potential replacement in the minors. CF has been a glaring hole for like eternity. Let's do it again. Trade frenzy is a mental illness reserved for baseball. They will follow the pattern of the other habitual losing small markets by trading anyone good for a better tomorrow that never comes. Those actions can't overcome poor scouting and development. Hauls are a myth along with stocked farm and farm system rankings. There is no such thing as can't miss prospects and another team willing to give those up. *see Sale trade* I think this is one of the reasons why baseball sucks in popularity. Other than that it's fine for fantasy and armchair GM wannabes. So what if he is a Boras client. Maybe this offseason some player were to busy looking at possible dollars and failed to look at the SENSE when March rolled around. Players/former players call it collusion which is bullshit. There's collusion in the real world and that's why you don't see cashiers making $50 an hour. They overprice themselves in a market fewer people care about. Was Chet Lemon our last great centerfielder? Man that guy could cover ground and get good wood on the ball. Love me some Chester Lemon. One of the great baseball 'names' as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively Brian Anderson was a very good CF imo.....if Ozzie would have kept him out there in 2006, who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They miss Wilson.Without him the late innings are really bad. Went on the IL May 22. Losing streak started the same day. BP was hot before he got hurt. Yes it was lesser competition but they were 11-8 right before he got injured. They don't have the BP depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a copycat of the other habitual losing small market teams...this organization is littered with formal Royals. We can then emulate the Reds, Pirates, and A's. We can talk about our "stocked farm system" and put faith in those farm system rankings and only find out they are a bunch of Scott Ruffcorns. If one player turns out to be good then the trade frenzy happens for more rinse and repeat failures. The best way out of the Sox organization is to have Boras as your agent. How many thought hiring Tony was another way to destroy your fanbase and yet JR will find better ways to ruin a fanbase in one of the largest cities on the planet. If you are going to be a Sox fan expect getting fucked for JRs eternity or yours which ever ends first. Edited June 5 by kitekrazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 so I've started the game back up and Lenyn Sosa just hit a home run to make it 5-0. I hearken back to my previous point about touching up Imanaga. It didn't have anything to do with the White Sox, it has to do with him. I bet we still lose this game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the goal is to slash payroll, be bad, have poor attendance and set up for a move to Nashville. That is what makes sense to me right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
