YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Let's hope that today is the day where the Sox get their sh!t together again. On a positive note, the Sox have had the lead or been tied in most of their recent games, so at least they aren't getting destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 They came back in the 9th last night and did score in the 11th. I thought Eaton's ball in the 9th was gone. If it was typical May 17th weather , it may have been. This 45 degree crap needs to end. Putnam was off a bit. Albers is in a slump. Except for the homers, Rodon looked much better. Hopefully Latos will have a good outing, and Frazier will be back in the line up. The Sox offense seems out of hibernation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'm encouraged with the offense by their way to battle back. Its the bullpen that has cost the team the last 5 defeats. Hopefully they can put it together ASAP or the L's will continue to accumulate. I heard the quote from Hahn-- he sounds pretty antsy to make a deal. I would make fixing the bullpen priority #1.

Need Latos to be on tonight, and hope Frazier is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Rodon looked good, he gave up two homers on out of the zone pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:41 AM) Agree but style points are not counted in baseball. Sure but it's a silver lining nevertheless. 2-5 in the last 7 games but still a run differential of +3 in that span. Makes you feel a lot better than if they'd been blown out in each of those 5 losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you feel a lot better than if they'd been blown out in each of those 5 losses. For sure. The pitching in general feels like it's on thin ice in general. It may not crack all year but there's serious potential for it. I feel like our rotation is comprised of two #1s, two #4.5s and a #5.5. Bullpen needs another power arm too.

chw42 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Latos needs to right the ship here. He's had absolutely nothing his last few starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) IIRC we've lost all 3 games to start our home stands then bounce back win the next night on 2 of them. Lost to Indians then won the day after, lost to Angels then won. Now lost to Houston. Edited May 18, 2016 by SouthSideSale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The Be Careful What You Wish For department: we started 23-10, and at .249/.324/.394 and wanted more offense Now we've had a stretch of .272/.343/.433 and yet have gone 1-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 18, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) The Be Careful What You Wish For department: we started 23-10, and at .249/.324/.394 and wanted more offense Now we've had a stretch of .272/.343/.433 and yet have gone 1-5 A lot of their success was due to their bullpen, which lately has been horrific, especially Albers. Their starters need to start going deeper into games, especially the back end in Rodon, Latos, & Gonzalez. I think the hitting will stay somewhat consistent, because realistically their two most dangerous hitters (Abreu & Frazier) still aren't hitting nearly at what was expected. I do think it's about that time to start wondering how much of this strong start can be sustained as they move further into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The defense has been a let down the last week as well. Get that back on track and they'll be fine, no need to worry yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are home for 9 more games and they really need to go 6-3. Whatever the other teams are doing is worth keeping an eye on, but the Sox need to get back to taking care of business.
