TitoMB345 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 17, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) so is one extra base hit in their last 35 innings Not that shocking really. This team really has little talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 17, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) Not that shocking really. This team really has little talent. That's inaccurate. It has talent that isn't living up to advance billing (Quentin, Beckham, Floyd, Peavy, Danks, Jenks, Pierzynski, Pierre, Teahen, Ramirez, Vizquel, etc....lots of guys way below career norms).

Milkman delivers Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 15, 2010 -> 11:55 PM) Where's Rongey been? Is he too busy workin or burned out on the cliche fire the manager type comments in the threads and the cliche criticisms of Ozzie for decisions made in games we lose? He's probably tired of defending a terrible team in his free time, seeing as that is also his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh. I didn't necessarily gather from the article that coaching changes would be made. However, maybe KW is re-thinking his giving Ozzie control over the coaching staff. Regardless of who's at fault, this team has to turn things around now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaseballNick Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Revival by Rios Here's an encouraging article about Alex Rios and his fine start to the 2010 season. Matt Klaassen writes that Rios' production has reverted back to the mean, and that contract (once looking like an albatross) may not be so bad after all.

Interesting to my eyes though is that the odds of Rios being a "Bargain" after this season start dropping dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I didn't see most of the game last night, but I caught the box score. Glad to see Nix took the reins and proved he could steal Teahen's job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hard to tell if he's just in a bit of a slump or if he maybe started trying to hit a home run every time up and is reverting back to the old habits. He's had a few REALLY good pitches to hit lately and has popped them up to the shallow outfield... I'm hoping it's just a slump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it's just a slump. everyone goes through slumps in a long season so i will just assume that is what it is. i dont expect him to hit .300 for the season so he had to tail off somewhat. he is certainly the least of our worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) It's pretty different (and bad) to feel no emotion when we lose. I think almost all of us diehard fans knew despite the great rally we'd fall one-run short thanks to the bad luck on the GR double. With the luck of the Sox, no way there'd be a rally in the ninth even tho we were just one down. Who'd a thunk Jake Peavy would be just another guy on the mound as well? Weird. May ain't looking so good except for Juan Pierre's batting average climbing. Edited May 21, 2010 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May ain't looking so good except for Juan Pierre's batting average climbing. IT'S NOT BAD LUCK! It was a fly ball that took one bounce before it reached the wall. At our park, that's going to hop over the fence 75% of the time. Hawk's acting like there's never any ground rule doubles at our park.

greg775 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Yeah, but wasn't Pierre ready to scoot home? If it kicks off the wall, it's happy days are here again, baby. Instead, it's eight below .500 and another crappy lost series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
