BigHurt3515 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Are we the worst 9 over .500 team ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Sox will get some runners in any of the next 3 innings.......but will they score is the question. For their sake i hope its not 2 out runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 This is REALLY tiring. Their pitching hasn't even been that good today, the Sox just can't hit worth a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Giving Jackson 600+ at-bats this season should be a federal crime; the guy just can't hit anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 20, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) In past year's a game like this is an automatic loss. With Gonzalez pitching tomorrow, this is a big game tonight... Let's see what kind of team this really is. I'm already sold that it's no different. I just want to be so wrong about that. Two things emerge again. No hitting for Q and a mental midget pen. Edited May 21, 2016 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_...miguel-gonzalez There's ONE encouraging stat, Gonzalez vs. the Royals. Of course, he leaves an Orioles' uniform and joins the Sox, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 20, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) I'm already sold that it's no different. We have played well against some good teams (like the Rangers), well, until we completely fell apart last Tuesday night. OTOH, if you take away the A's and the Twins, we're not far from being a .500ish team. Hanging curveball AGAIN from Quintana. Eaton now is playing a little bit lackadaisically out there, but has built up that reputation so nobody's bothering to challenge him on the bases for the moment. And now Cuthbert reaches. This doesn't bode well, with Putnam likely to come. Quintana coming back to earth. DJ thinks he's tipping his pitches and running out of gas. 6 hits now with just 4 outs after just 1 through five innings. Almost inexplicable, like Sale against the Twins last year. Quintana out after just 91 pitches. It will suck for his ERA if Putnam gives up those two, but Q/Cooper/Avila deserve the rebuke with whatever the hell they were doing the last two innings from a strategy standpoint.

SoCalSox Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've seen enough over the the past 10 games. This is a team that got off to a great start & will continue to fade. They aren't nearly the team they started off as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
