King Heffy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 21 hours ago, Gurn said: youth is the key. Time to decide on Bo and Vladdy. Sell one, but does that get enough return, to turn around the organization? Which one? Who gets more return? Sell both? Might need to 'package up' some low performers with Bo/Vlad in order to clear up some deadweight. first get a credible baseball mind in charge, to make these kind of decisions-- then getter dun! Agreed. The team can't afford to allow the unqualified baboons in the front office to make any more moves. Hire actual management and start a rebuild, but the priority has to be firing every single one of the idiots in the front office , starting with Shapiro and Atkins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 15 hours ago, Rip The Mesh said: Inside the park home run ! This play is a perfect example of the difference that playing sound fundamental baseball can make. With 2 outs, Febles has to try and score Springer from first. Even though the left fielder had the ball before George got to third, as a 3rd base coach, you take the risk that the White Sox won't be able to put two perfect throws together and cut him down at the plate. The thing is, if the left fielder doesn't overthrow the cutoff man, Chicago has a real shot at throwing Springer out. That miss turns out to be huge, because not only does George score, two batters later, Davis Schneider hits another double, scoring two more runs. So that's three runs that the Chisox could have prevented....all they had to do was hit the cutoff man..... BTW: Where are you getting the "Inside the park home run" from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great change; integration showed just high the level of competition was in those leagues. Knocking a shitty human out of the 1 spot and another out of the 2 is a great bonus.
