daa84 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 lol there are so many players on this roster that don't belong on a big league roster. Bonifacio, beckham, Sanchez, saladino, probably flowers, probably Thompson. Laroche and Ramirez have a track record but certainly don't belonig in the everyday lineup. Speaks loads about our utter lack of depth in the org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just getting caught up on the game. I see the Sox have played like crap. This ballclub is an utter failure this year. Never any sense of urgency. Never any extended periods of alert, good, solid baseball. Whether or not it's Robin's fault, this team blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 DJ made a good point earlier in the game, it looks like Saladino is thinking too much up there as opposed to when he first came up and was making great contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league realized he can't hit fastballs up and sliders away. He looks like every other Sox prospect that's been called up the last 10 years. It really shouldn't be surprising, he wasn't a good Minor League hitter. Edited August 16, 2015 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I know the White Sox under Robin have been the cool, calm, collected, never break a sweat type team whose motto every season seems to be, "It's still early; there's plenty of time left," before finally time runs out, but .... I would think the owner of this team would be flat out embarrassed by tonight's game. If this were a regular business there'd be hell to pay after playing such a s*** game tonight against one's in-town rivals. Oh wait, the Sox players I'm sure don't consider the Cubs a rival, just like the Royals aren't a rival, the Tigers aren't a rival. Sox never get "up" for any team. They're too cool for that.
