ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I was really just hoping to see Micah bunt there. Move the runners over, potentially get a base hit, if not, Adam is a contact hitter who seems pretty clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) Lots of rash and pedantic comments in the game thread. I know that's to be expected but dear god some of you need to get a hold of yourselves. Teams go through ruts, the Sox came out flat when there was a lot of excitement. That doesn't mean everything that was said last week is now null and void. I am not fleeing anytime soon and I don't care how many fans are at the stadium. If this was early June it would be different. Since it is the first week and the first time really seeing this team it makes it 10x worse then what it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) Since the choke job to end 2012, Ventura has struggled to get this team to play consistently well. Now that he has better talent, you can't let them fall too far behind without shaking things up. The Sox had no business even contending for a playoff spot in 2012 in my opinion, and the past two years things have been in rebuild mode and he has had some of the fewest talent at his disposal ever since he became the manager of the club. Even when in 2013 and 2013, Robin has showed his ability to put his players in a position to succeed, he just didn't have the horses to win the race (The 2014 Bullpen) and he has shown that he can develop some players along the way. This is a team that is still learning how to play together and their best player hasn't taken the field yet. So simmer down over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why the SOX are in an offensive rut. He is not getting on base. Cabrera either, he has been really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Eaton with a real slow start I don't know that this is in any way to blame, but I saw an interview Eaton gave last night that said his goal this season is to hit double digit home runs. I don't like that thinking for him. He does better when he is spraying line drives, not trying to lift. Whether he's been trying to hit them out in these games, I have no idea, but he needs to just keep the same approach last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
