Chris Sale Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) How about a home run? Try a strikeout instead. Get overmatched by a 38-year-old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I got banned for saying the bottom would fall out of this team after the 8th inning in Texas. I didn't want to be right, but I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) If I trusted Hahn to evaluate talent, they could get a BOATLOAD of young talent for Eaton/Quintana/Sale/Frazier/Robertson. Obviously, it's incredible to even think that way after the high of Frazier's GS in extras and STILL being in 1st place by 1 1/2 games near the end of May. It was still less than 2 weeks ago we had a surefire playoff team. Cain homer, high change-up? Sigh. Guess it was a running fastball that Cain leaned back on it and got extended.

Chris Sale Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 2 whole runs? Wow, Gonzalez sucks. You can't expect any reasonable offense to cover a massive spread like that.

BaconOnAStick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The pitching finally stopped the bleeding and then the hitters went and died. It sucks, I wanted this be a fun year and instead the Sox are gonna collapse before they could even get started. Meanwhile TT and Semien haunt us.

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I would say the match-up with Rodon vs. all their LH hitters looks encouraging but it doesn't matter what things APPEAR to be on paper at this point in the slump... Clearly, nobody's getting traded anytime soon. But they have to do SOMETHING to shake things up. What's crazy is Ventura has gone from surefire AL Manager of the Year to being a bit in the hot seat again with no contract for next season and Renteria's presence on the bench as manager in waiting. Meanwhile, 8 K's for Gonzalez...who has solidified his hold on the 5th spot for now. Erik Johnson vs. that red-hot Indians' line-up is a disaster waiting to happen. Seems Johnson can't catch a break with match-ups every time he's given an opportunity. Edited May 21, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost working when we had exceptional defense and passable baserunning. But those flashes and the pan have regressed back to the norm. I actually don't even remember the last home run a Sox player hit offhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
