Capn12 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Rather sucks to be on the other side of a Mark Buehrle outing that starts shaky, then just settled right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good managers aren't afraid to make massive changes in the line-up if things aren't working. Obviously the personel isn't conducive to playing much better than this, but s*** Robin can't trot out the same line-up over and over and just hope for the best. You gotta try something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 06:59 PM) Santiago...something has to change there. At least give him a start against the Twins or Indians. Expected walk-up crowds against the Twins and CLE? Is there a negative walk-up, where people boycott the ballpark and try to encourage fans NOT to buy tickets to support this putrid product?

The Ginger Kid Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I realize this is only the first of many road trips, but this team just looks so out of sync, offensively, defensively, managerially. Wish they could hit the re-start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the Sox desperately need to see what Flowers and Viciedo can do to be in the future plans of the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great. I have a feeling the 2014 White Sox roster is going to look incredibly different than what we see on the field right now. Possibly changes at 1b, 2b, catcher, DH, 2 starting pitchers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mix of this team is not very good and this may be a very long season only bright spot is thank God Gavin Floyd will be gone next year hopefully in July.
