Anthony does not meet the criteria for a flop. But the injuries are deeply concerning to say the least, especially since they both seem to be connected with swinging the bat.
I have no idea. But one would think he's not unaware of the criticisms about his management style. And power can be a short-lived thing when you work for Henry LOL.
I have had plenty of back and forth with Fred over the years. It's not really the negativity that finally did me in so much as the redundancy. He says the same things over and over and over. How many times has he already said the Sox should be trying to lose now instead of win? I'm guessing it's a bundle. And it will be a bundle more.
Who freaking knows where this team is going. There are some positive signs though. Pitching has been pretty damn good. Bats are waking up a bit. Durbin has become somewhat of a spark plug. New dude Seigler has really capitalized on his small sample. Contreras and Rafaela have been steady contributors.
Sure hope Anthony gets back soon.
I did the same a while ago. Now I just get a chuckle out of how many times the words "You've chosen to ignore content by Fred Lynn" appears on my screen while scrolling game threads.
I'm fine with most of that, but the 4 innings one is debatable because it leaves 5 innings for the pen. 4 scoreless innings is not unhelpful, but a starter generally needs to go longer than that.
All subjective stuff of course.
It really is weird. The CBO can point to a lot of good moves, but nobody loves you when you're playing .400 ball in June.
Hopefully things are now turning around.
