CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) Especially when he just got called up from AAA and Purke was an option. Didn't Caulfield just say something about putting a guy into a position to succeed ? Problem is the Sox never have a big enough lead to do that. So when is a guy like Purke and Kahnle supposed to pitch ? If we burn the good relievers when behind we criticize Robin for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with Jennings or Putnam? Those are your fifth and six relievers now...technically. Although calling Duke one of the top four is stretching it, I guess.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) Yeah, that homer might have subconsciously changed Tyler's approach to think he can be a power hitter for now, instead of a contact guy who occasionally gets a hold of one. Cabrera out of the game with a bad back. The saber crowd kind of eschew batting average but that's where in comes in handy . 2 pros like Cabrera and Martinez used the count to their advantage to get hits off of Kahnle . They probably get most of their hits in favorable counts. .250 hitters just can't take advantage of counts as good as a .300 hitter can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hahn's gonna have to get a big bat if this team wants to stay in it. Even if they get a mid rotation starter, you're going to need to be able to score a decent amount of runs to win games in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said is still the biggest need even during the BP meltdowns. Those were just regression to the mean. They won;t be great but overall they are a decent pen.
