Buehrle>Wood Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) 4-12... From 6 outs away from 14 games over to up by 1/2, 1 and 2 1/2 games. Was a 6/7/8 game lead over CLE/KC/DET. The worst part is KC has lost Moustakas, Gordon, two starting pitchers, Jarrod Dyson missed the first month, they've had a ton of injuries and managed to stay in this thing despite Omar Infante being the second worst contract in the game to Ryan Howard. Hawk said they were 4-16 in the last 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Robin has to go. This guy is f***ing clueless. This team will be perennial losers until he is gone. You cannot blow 4 run leads. f***ing A I am pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Friday Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) How did Harrelson handle things? Didn't hear any comments about him in the game thread... Surprisingly well. He got on Angel a bit, but not overly so. And it was with good reason. The time off must be helping his nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxforlife05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Lol I don't care about this team anymore. What a disgrace. .500 in 1 week Edited May 28, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 28, 2016 -> 04:13 AM) This will be the 4th loss on Albers, I think all of them since the Orioles' series. Is baseball the only sport you can go from a potential all-star to a total bum in the span of a couple weeks? Right now he needs to be released or go on the DL a month after being dominant for a month. That one year Humber pitched a no hitter I believe and ended up getting released that season.

Bob Sacamano Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 That April looks like fool's gold. Honestly it is hard to judge a team after the first month since guys are still finding their groove and getting in the swing of things (no pun intended).

Butter Parque Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Just the idea that Jones did end up pitching in the 7th, but only after the lead was gone. I'm mesmerized by the stupidity involved in that thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing better than we actually are the first month. The "this team is still in first" comments are becoming irrelevant.

I'm mesmerized by the stupidity involved in that thinking. There was an open base, and an inferior hitter on deck that would match up with your best non-closer. It should have been academic. Especially if you're just going to burn Jones out anyways. Robin is a smart man, so I don't know what he's thinking sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often when the lead is blown someone in the mental midget dept. will pad the loss. I'm not saying he isn't, but besides Robertson, he's the highest leverage reliever this team has. Why on earth would you bring in a gas can to face their hottest hitter, when you can just as easily walk him and bring in your better reliever?

Bob Sacamano Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 If this season ends up looking worse where we're likely not contending, I wouldn't mind some young guys coming up to get some at bats and experience the rest of the way (Coats in a corner spot-Melky DH, Davidson up to get at bats between DH,1B,3B, more Saladino at short (not quite ready to call up Anderson personally), call up Kevan Smith while releasing Avila because: why not?).

How many times so far vs the Sox has he already hit the ball in the 5-6 hole? I get being at DP depth but he was way too far up the middle.

Might as well try Coats anyways. Can't be worse than Sands. He's not a future regular either, so it isn't as though he needs to be getting regular at bats.

Lip Man 1 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Wow...simply Wow. Once again Robin insists on bringing in Duke to face a left hander and once again he can't get the guy out. Three more RBI's tonight with two out. As Tom Petty once sang, "Yea I'm free...free fallin'" It's going to be another long ugly summer fans.
