Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's whatever at this point. Just watch the young guys because we aren't winning many more games. I'm ok with it get us another high pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 another Ventura squad floundering down the stretch. I love Robin, his sense of humor... demeanor. But he is absolutely not a major league manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need a mix. The problem is there's not a lot of home runs coming from Eaton, Micah Johnson, Avi, Gillaspie, Alexei. Gonna have to find some power in LF and DH.

pettie4sox Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Robin really can't do anything about the scrubs on his roster. The only quality hitters his has is probably Abreu and Gillaspie. The rest are pretty much dog s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah our roster isn't all that special however there is 3 years to me is a pattern. Hope I'm wrong and all the "people with perspective" who don't blame RV are so correct as there level of smug.

chitownsportsfan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 10:42 PM) Cannot blame RV or some posters will have to bite tongues. Can't blame Robin for this one but who cares the Sox are tanking fantastically towards a top 8 pick. Only thing that matters rest of the way is the production of the youth and the cornerstones like Jose and Sale and Q. Forget wins and losses the next 30 odd games and enjoy watching some of the new faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a first place team and it ran into the ground, year 2 and 3 not very good efforts and in crunch time team blows in August and September his WHOLE tenure. Not a recipe of ever playing playoff baseball under RV. Edited August 23, 2014 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 RV just (in my opinion) makes too many mistakes that cost us a game here and there. Mistakes tonight: #1 runners on 2nd and 3rd no one out - Danks up (who just bunt for a hit earlier) and no sacrifice. Ventura has no concept of moving runners up - he especially has been amazingly bad about it this year. #2 putting Webb in in the 9th. We all knew as soon as Webb went in there the game was over. Put in Petricka he hasn't pitched much lately. I would love Robin in some form in the organization - but he is not a MLB manager. He knew he wasn't when he took the job and why he was so hesitant.
