Balta1701 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 At least I don't have to be too mad at Fox for not carrying the game after last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downtown518 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Maybe my limited posting history and first game thread will be what starts the magical streak the Sox need.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 At least Rios isn't batting cleanup. That said...He should not be in the lineup at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny is the one guy in MLB that Rios actually owns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Rios made a nice play. Maybe he feels like playing today. Hopefully he won't wait until September to feel like playing next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 3 games in a row the Sox give up runs in the 1st inning. Why doesn't Cooper have his pitchers ready to pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) 3 games in a row the Sox give up runs in the 1st inning. Why doesn't Cooper have his pitchers ready to pitch? Yes, because giving up an RBI double to Miguel Cabrera in the first inning is so uncommon. I get what you're trying to do here. While I don't agree with you at all, I can respect your consistency. But does Albert Pujols have to come here and suck for you to recognize that Greg Walker might not be the right guy for the job anymore? I've never seen a fan in my life so obsessed with protecting his team's hitting coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a fan in my life so obsessed with protecting his team's hitting coach. Why are they getting tagged in the first inning then settling down? They aren't ready to pitch. If the Sox never scored their first time through the line up, you would blame Walker. He's always been the problem according to some. Who are you going to blame next year?

Dick Allen Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) I love hearing Mitch Williams speak about pitching. It seems he's forgotten he couldn't throw a strike to save his life a good part of his career. 544 walks in 691 innings, and he's talking about where he would pitch a guy and walking guys on purpose. LMAO. Edited September 3, 2011 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not really a concern of yours. I'm sure we're not the only team in the league that's had a stretch of games in with their SPs allowed runs in the first inning. You're trying to bring Cooper down a notch or two to justify your undying support of Greg Walker. By your logic, Greg Walker, or any hitting coach in baseball, should have to quit first before being fired. That's just not feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always an excuse for Cooper if a pitcher sucks. I haven't seen one post blaming him for Peavy not living up to his billing. If a guy can't hit, its clearly because Walker is the Sox hitting coach. Edited September 3, 2011 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
