The Ginger Kid Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) Worst part is Sox brass think nothing is wrong at all. I can see the brass toting the company line, but I can't understand why the beat writers lap it up too. Merkin et al are such sox patsies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 3, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) We better hope that the Twins score 10+ off of Danks so the Sox have no choice but to move him. Opposite is true...no choice but to keep him. Flavum was right. Didnt even need to pay attention, except to see what else could possibly go wrong.

I think they are concerned with the record and the attendance. They may just not have an action in mind to fix at the drop of a hat. Good front offices tend to react much more slowly than fans, because sometimes fans overreact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin city sox fan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If Scott Carroll can pitch the next 6.2 without any runs, we'll only need to score 7 to win. We've almost scored that many in the past week so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 QUOTE (bmags @ May 3, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) I'm not laughing. I've never been so disappointed by a baseball team. There is no positive that will be taken from this year. This play is devastating for the entire franchise. I'm used to this level of disappointment. 2013 was the exact same setup. Lots of money spent, $120 million payroll, seemingly full roster you'd hope could improve on previous year, get on the field and its a clown show from the start.

bmags Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 3, 2015 -> 02:15 PM) I don't believe that Ventura is to blame for this mess but there needs to be someone responsible. Unfortunately for him it's the manager. I hope they players realize their pathetic play is going to result in people losing jobs. agree. I don't think Robin caused all poor play, but I don't particularly care about his career in managing and I don't feel he is going to get things under control.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Does anyone else notice that Dick Allen has gone silent? I think he finally realizes that no BS excuses can be made for this sorry team. I'm all for supporting Ventura or anyone else, but enough is enough already.

Jake Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 One thing's for sure. If we want to do another round or two of this rotation with no personnel changes, let's go ahead and demote Danks to 5. No matter what you do, Danks sucks. Noesi hasn't pitched well, but it's hard me to blame him when he's had about 12 days rest in between each outing. Let's go ahead and give the washed up, injured guy the we-don't-give-a-s*** treatment. Makes no sense to jerk around a pitcher who struggles with command like that, especially when it's all for the benefit of a guy who by all appearances is a lost cause and at the least would benefit much more from time off.
