Harry Chappas Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The offense makes this team unwatchable which is sad because the pitching is good enough for them to win. Every inning of every game is stressful for this piss poor hitting team. You cannot win in the AL if you cannot hit. Manto's philosophy seemed bad from the get go as OBP was not something he cared about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hahn needs to do something to shake this up. Even if it's just finding someone to platoon with Flowers. Its time to do something Tricky Ricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 KC is the same place last year where Delmon Young might have got screwed on a home run late vs KC due to lack of camera angle. With that said, this offense is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think adding Beckham and Viciedo is going to help this lineup against RHP, they are dumber than we think. With all the chances Hahn could have had to be a GM the last few years, it's ironic that this might be the worst spot he could have landed.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Chris Sale should not still be in this game. I don't really like seeing him over 120 pitches on May 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Sale was the best option considering they have no left handed relief in the bullpen other than Thornton. Edited May 6, 2013 by pettie4sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also probably trying to save pen for tomorrow when Santiago throws, especially since the whole pen except Heath was used yesterday.

Dick Allen Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Sale making it to the 8th was a longshot after the 1st, but he screwed up, he gave up a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think adding Beckham and Viciedo is going to help this lineup against RHP, they are dumber than we think. Slappy type hitters like DeAza and Wise who do not walk are not assets especially if they are only average fielders. It goes back to thinking Juan Pierre was a good hitter. The DeAza regression seems a little out of the blue but thinking Keppinger was an everyday answer was dumb as was the fact that they put no effort in getting bench players. Flowers s***iness is tolerable if the other 8 guys are doing their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire preseason bench has been moved to starting duty due to injuries (except Giminez). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with someone like Sale, who is in the first year of a new contract and who most people worry about durability down the road, I'm hesitant running his pitch count up early in a season where it appears our team is quite unlikely to challenge for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
