  1. They are who we thought they were!! This is just a bad baseball team period. And yesterday's game was absolutely unwatchable.
  2. Time to be honest here the whole infield is subpar and has now gotten ever worse. How has that happened,bringing Lewis back and having him learn to play 1st on the fly. With Kody who played it fairly well now being moved to the OF adding another LH bat there. Lewis was drafted as a SS so play him there instead of changing who plays SS day after day. That is a position he knows and should be able to play.
  3. If you throw pitches inches out of the zone you get swings,when you throw pitches yards out of the zone you don't.
  4. They can say the weather was an issue and what ever excuse they want,but this is who he is and has been. They got a pitcher with a history of command problems and Tampa got a pitcher who wanted to be a SP who can't be. The biggest problem is the rotation is missing arms with Ober,Abel,Festa and Lopez on IL. And then of course SWR being so bad that he needed to be DFAed.
  5. Looking at Castro and Clemens they seem to be one in the same. After they were given a chance to play everyday they showed they can preform. With someone like Lewis who yes was a number one pick has been unable to stay on the field or has not lived up to the pick. Again a change of scenery may be a need for both parties. Does the team really need to play the long game with him like they did with Buxton. The team really needs to move away from players who take years to preform. Everyday people say trade Larnach who has taken years to get to where he's at a part time player. This roster is full of part time players and will be years away from a run in the division nevertheless playoffs.
  6. Love how everyone thinks its time to move on from a player who is actually contributing and can play numerous positions. How about moving on from a player like Lewis who doesn't have a position. Why is it that he gets chance after chance and now getting to learn to play 2nd or 1st or who knows where next on the big club. It just might benefit both parties to move on because as it stands its not working.
  7. Shelton told us everything we need to know about this team the other day. He said Buxton is the CFer and all other positions are interchangeable. How is the team defense going to improve if you come to the stadium not knowing what position you will be playing that day. Playing a game without a error has become a luxury for this team. And yesterday DFAing Outman for Lewis almost cost them big time. With Buxton sore from hitting the wall Larnach and Kreidler both could have joined him on the bench. This team is looking like a real clown show. The only thing missing is the tiny car for them to climb out of at the start of the game.
  8. Too many walks!! Young or Old as a pitcher walks will hurt you. Why is Funderburg back with the Saints,too many walks to LH hitters. This isn't rocket science.
  9. Musical chairs at SS has and is a liability for the middle infield. Added to that a poor defensive player at 2nd will put more games in the lost column. If Buxton isn't in CF the whole defense up the middle is one of the worst in baseball. Why are they waiting to bring up someone who can play SS. All you have to do is look at the pitchers face when they see a bad play behind them. It isn't helping any of the slow to react players either with the over shifting. Time and time again with the pitchers missing their spot and hitters putting the ball in play in a straight up hole created by the shift.
  10. This team is who we thought they were!! Just who as a fan looking back at the trade deadline thought the FO was making the team better. The ownership ordered the gutting of the team. Just how many teams would lineup to trade with this team for this roster. Other than Ryan or Buxton and Jeffers who by the way is on IL no one. I guess you could put Bradley on the list as well,so that puts at 4 players out of 26. Look for a long summer at an empty stadium.
  11. Looking around the league SP are dropping like flies. He will get claimed by Monday afternoon. Maybe his new team will be able to get something out of him. His biggest problem is and has been walking himself into trouble. Watching him pitch this year has been hard. His splitter that was his out pitch was noncompetitive and he needed to to get away from using it. This team has far bigger problems than if SWR is on this weak roster. The last week should have told the fans just how bad this team really is. By next weekend you can put 5 more losses on their record.
  12. This is what happens when you play musical chairs with the infield. Don't have enough everyday players on the roster. Saw this loss from a mile away,asking the BP to pitch 5 innings again is asking to much. When only getting 2.1 innings out of SWR the day before and Bradley's short day it was easy to see the outcome.
  13. First off SWR was probably going to pitch in this game after Rojas started. We saw the same problem with him game after game walking himself into trouble. You can't go 0-2 on a hitter and then walk them. His splitter is not working,no one is swinging at it because it is noncompetitive. Looking at the roster who believes that there is more than 2 or 3 starting players on this team. Everyday its who's at 1st,2nd,SS and now even CF. For this team to be were its at in the division is a surprise to everyone. It's more because the Royals and Tigers are worse. All the folks who thought that the White Sox would be bad haven't been paying attention. At this point they own the Twins.
  14. More than likely moving him off of 3rd could effect his bat all over again. I think we all know that if Rocco was still managing Lewis would still be with the big club. Look how long it took Shelton to move Wallner and Lewis. Maybe Zoll stepped in and helped with the move. After all this is a business that needs butts in the seats. The weather is now warming up and playing Gray and Arcia as everyday players won't help in that regard. This team is a mess with far too many same position players that are now being moved all over the field. Look at Clemens who has played 1st,2nd,RF and now LF. The only positions that are consistent are catcher with Jeffers when healthy and CF with Buxton when healthy. Martin was moved from the infield to LF to play against LH pitching and now playing RF and even CF. This to me shows Falvey left an organization in flux that is going to take a couple of years to straighten out.
