JoeBatadatz Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) I really hope the Sox go after Morneau when he is healthy. Probably would be the cheapest best option we can find. "cheapest best options" are exactly what has kept us right where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Only time sanchez should be on the major league roster is letting him try to see if he can be a everyday player and carry his weight in hitting. Sox can't afford to let that happen with them if they can contend I don't agree . He's a useful glove and switch hitter. If he's the best guy for the job let him contribute with what he does best.

Either big upgrades or wait til deadline and sell if you are 8-10 games out. The current team is just not good enough overall with too many holes.

flavum Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) I actually don't have a huge problem with the bullpen usage tonight. Yes, the guys they used tonight sucked, but I'm glad they didn't go back to the well when they were behind. Now let's get a couple quality starts of 7-8 innings each and have a fresh pen to get the holds and saves. Edited June 4, 2016 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lawrie is one of the few above average position players this team has If the team had more good bats Sanchez not hitting wouldn't be an issue. I think he can hit actually but no one here is patient enough to give him much of a shot. We expect instant success and it isn't realistic in many cases.

greg775 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:47 AM) Thanks for just giving up the game here, Ventura. Of course, they will send Kahnle back down and it will be all his fault when you put him in these types of situations before letting him get his feet wet and building some confidence. Of course he's naturally going to try to do too much to prove he belongs and that will always result in overthrowing and his stuff flattening out. At least he broke Maybin's bat on that change-up. That was actually a decent pitch. But you can't throw 96-98 mph arrow straight fastballs past the Tigers for very long. That's true. He gets sent down as a total failure. QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:49 AM) I want Rodon, Shuck. Kahnle, Saladino and everyone else GONE by tomorrow El Rockin is getting jaded by the negative game threads. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:50 AM) 3-10 against DET, CLE and KC just isn't going to cut it. Especially when Zimmermann was hittable tonight and Rodon's defense collapsed behind him. Scouting. We stand no chance vs. the Central. They know us; we don't go after their weaknesses. We show up and play "our game" and lose. QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:05 AM) 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. Batting average is dismissed totally by the Sabes people and yet year after year it's the only thing shown on the screen and only thing the announcers talk about : Batting average, RBI and homers, the old stats. And for pitchers, wins/losses get discussed a ton on the broadcasts and the Sabes people want no part of those. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:06 AM) 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. This roster isn't good enough. That's the bottom line. Our brethren in the Central again have better rosters and managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
