Thompson only had 39 RBIs in AAA?

Shows how bad Sox system on position players is he would not sniff the big leagues on most teams.

They've been pitching away from the defensive positioning all series

 

This was a supremely all-around DUMB team for years.

A supremely all-around DUMB team coming out of '15 Spring Training.

A supremely all-around DUMB team whenever it was actually expected to play like a playoff-caliber team.

 

The only saving grace has always been that overall level of talent was above-average, lots of big names.... but the tsunami of Dumb would just overwhelm in the end.

 

The bizarre pitch-sequences and shifting alone should have gotten Mark Parent or Coop fired like 2 years ago, haha, while KC seems to pitch to their advance-scouting reports, our dunces prefer to almost pitch TO the KC hitters strengths. So bizarre and hilar, haha!

And yet the pitching war (at least for starters) was among the best the majors two weeks ago.

 

Something's up with Sale, physically. That long strikeout streak took something out of him...hasn't been the same since.

 

 

 

Flowers an abysmal 5/43 throwing out runners. But, pitch framing!

Toronto continues to advance like a wheat thresher through the AL.

No way KW, RV and Hahn can all return in 2016. If they all return JR deserves 5,000 a night at the game. Shame on front office for being so stupid at trade deadline. Shock the went on a losing streak......NOT!

 

ya know, interesting to see that the Sox haven't changed much. Awful at fundamentals under Ozzie (2005 uber-fluke only highlights that); not much changed under Robin Ventura even though rosters have turned over since then. The problem is truly systemic in nature, obvi

 

I bet the Sox could have an absolute All-Star studded team up and down, led by

 

-Chuck Norris

-Vladimir Putin

-Carl Yaztremski

-the Dos Equis Man

 

and still somehow lose 95+ games.
