If this is Reinsdorf's version of "all in", I shutter to think what not being "all in" looks like..

 

 

You blame JR for Adam Dunn, really?

 

Who would you have signed as DH? Certainly, you wouldn't have kept Mark Kotsay and Andruw Jones?

Well most teams put their best hitter in the 3 hole.

 

Never has an "off the end of the bat" home run meant so little I guess about a player's progress. Something has got to be done about the offense. You have to score runs to win, and having an offense that struggles mightily to score more than 2 runs against a starting pitching isn't going to get it done.

And it's not like we're facing Zach Greinke or Gil Meche when he was going good.

 

This is a raw kid with a great arm but no idea where the ball's going who just happens to be 0-6. That's not an accident. Major league hitters make adjustments.

 

 

They might have to do the unthinkable and move Pierre to CF and bring up Viciedo and create an atrocious outfield defensive alignment.

This isn't like the beginning of the season where we were facing ace after ace. The Sox have faced some really mediocre starting pitching of late, and have very little to show for it offensively.

The Rodrigo Lopez pitching clinic should prove that crappy pitching can shut down crappy hitting.
