Robin is a f***ing idiot! The manager's job is to put players in position where they can succeed, Robin failed at his main job today. I haven't posted in a while myself but something has to be done this whole organization is clueless? Like drafting athletes instead of baseball players,terrible scouting,no preparement going into a series,on and on.....wtf happened to this team mental weakness at its best!!

juddling Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I always hear how JR is loyal to his former players...well i wish some reporter would ask him 'When is it time to be loyal to the fans???" Robin may not be the whole problem but he's a BIG percentage and since you can't fire a whole bullpen the manager needs to go. I think i'm gonna throw names in a hat and pick a new team to root for until RV is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two more things conspiring against the Sox. Harrelson is going to walk away from broadcasting at this rate... We also learned that Kahnle can throw REALLY hard and big league hitters can hit the ball equally as hard, if not harder. Tuesday's game against the Rangers was bad enough...losing the last two games against a crippled Royals' team, that's just too much.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I questioned bringing Robertson in from the start of that inning . Hate seeing closers used when it's not a closing situation. But i figured hey 6 run lead even if he does wet the bed how often do teams come back from that big of a lead ? Thought if there was ever a time to use Purke this was it. So how often do things like blowing a lead that big in the 9th happen ? Last time was 6 years ago in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 This game may end up being a pretty one in Sox history. It is time to throw out any thoughts of Hahn or KW's "3 year" plan. No need to trade for Shields or take on any expensive contracts. This team has absolutely no chance to compete in the Central anytime soon. Cleveland is going be very good for the next 2-3 years and KC is just KC. They own the Sox and that doesn't look like it is going to end any time soon. Step one=Fire Ventura immediately. Step 2= fire KW and Hahn in the offseason. Step 3 = start the rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avila was set up inside and the ball went outside so he had to lunge for it . Can't frame a pitch when it goes where it's not supposed to. We see umps call pitches like that balls all the time.

Hard to imagine reading Fathom talking just 24 hours ago about signing him to a contract extension when, as of today, it feels just as likely they'll end up trading him. Tigers just scored two to tie it up in OAK. Blood is in the water, officially. Crazy to imagine the Tigers could pass us by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
