ronkark Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Honeymoon is over, folks. Pen has been train wreck. D spotty. Two relays left in pockets Friday. Rollins error then bloop fly drop. AJax drop. Eaton missing cut off. Teams stealing at will against Latos. No throws on 2/4 today. 2 in a row with two days to marinate on it. We need two starting pitchers, not one. Latos is cooked. Thanks for your 5 wins now move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Texas bullpen isn't very elite. Have a feeling we'll get some chances to drive in a few and get back on top. Just have to take advantage of those opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see your master plan. Last night was somewhat excusable because we had two backend guys we just couldn't use (Jones and DRob). Today? Not so much....you run Putnam, Jones, Robertson out for 1ip each and you live with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) because the guy on the mound is tougher vs righties and the guy on deck is a better hitter. But other than that, who knows And they both got a hit anyway, so it doesn't look like it mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see your master plan. I wouldn't have started Latos this inning like I said before and wouldn't have left Jennings in to face Beltre after giving up two hits. Putnam should have been used to start the inning and then Jennings if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we keep running out low-leverage guys to pitch in high-leverage situations, then the coaching staff needs to be scrutinized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need two starting pitchers, not one. Latos is cooked. Thanks for your 5 wins now move along. So fickle. He wasn't going to be Cy Latos. He's a 4era guy. He's going to leave some up in a small park in the summer at the Cell too. Still a decent #5 and fringe #4 pitcher. Relax on this team. We could still win today. Should have won last night too. Even if we lose 2 in a row we go to a struggling Yankees team with Q and Sale. Long season. No reason to get upset over an inning or two of Jennings or Carroll. Yeesh.

JohnCangelosi Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I wouldn't say Latos is cooked but for sure we shouldn't expect him to be posting a sub 2.5 ERA this year as he was sporting early on. I still think he can be a very serviceable #5, the problem is we need a #3 right now so let's see what is available at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Teeth went through Frazier's lip. I've done that before (on concrete nonetheless), so it sucks, but you can function as long as you don't need to do much talking or playing woodwind instruments.

hi8is Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 11, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) Now Jennings is giving hits up. There is no way this game can end with the Sox in the W column. Just has that inevitable feeling. Yesterday had the inevitable win for us feel - and that didn't happen. Still hope we can squeeze a win out today.

There were 4 innings left and you only named 3 pitchers. Pen could really use a guy that can go two inning high leverage on occasion. Was really hoping it would be Jones.
