    For those who believe the only way things will change is if fans stop going to the games, let me put it this way. If this current team can not empty Fenway, then nothing will.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    But at the same time charge fans 'big market' ticket prices. Scam. P.T. Barnum once said there's a sucker born every minute.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Give me hope once, shame on you. Give me hope twice, shame on me.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I think they blow, but we're both correct.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Like I've posted before, there must be buyers for a team to be a seller. P.T. Barnum once said if someone nailed two pieces of wood together, someone else would buy it. Fortunately for the SOX FO this is still true.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It appears the official scorer is using Little League standards to determine hits and errors.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Not a wild pitch.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It was ruled a passed ball, so Wink didn't 'throw the ball away.'
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Self-destruct. Walks and errors are just as effective as base hits. Cora looked really pissed heading towards the mound. It'll be awhile before 2018 strikes again. I mean a long while.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    This same holds true that weak batters should at least be proficient in laying down a bunt, whether to move a runner or going for a base hit.Again, this could also be partly the fault of coaching.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Players with speed like Duran and Hamilton should be proficient in sliding feet first. The coaching could be at fault for not stressing the positives of sliding feet first when stealing a base.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yup.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Anyone who believes silent movies are a thing of the past hasn't watched many SOX games.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Sounds like a plethora of gaslighting by Kennedy.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Garrett vs Ort Dugo Turner Ref Devers Duvall(DH) Arroyo Kike(CF) Wong Hamilton Tonight's contest marks the last game of the 1st half. Will the SOX finish the first half above or below .500? Stay tuned. The suspense should be unbearable.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX aren't a bad team, they're a mediocre team at this point. Check the MLB standings and you will see plenty of bad teams. This isn't to say that the SOX can't become a bad team before the season's over. Otoh, they could just be mediocre the rest of the way. Of course, they could also transform into a good team, but the recent history of ownership spending makes that appear highly unlikely.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX will be 11-16 in interleague play after tonight. The SOX used to be pretty successful vs NL teams. Oh, well.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Don't know why Fisk hasn't been invited to the booth.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I could see Hamilton's future as a PR.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    One thing about Kike, when the opposing pitcher does find Kike's minuscule 'hot spot', Kike doesn't miss.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    There should be an Ort sighting soon.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The season will probably end up half good and half bad.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I remember Williams saying once that for a batter to hit .400 it would have to include a ton of walks. In 1941 Ted walked 147 times. Williams never had a 200 hit season. On a side note, in 1949 Ted played in 155 games and had 730 PA's.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It's pretty obvious this isn't a contract year for Devers.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    During his time with the SOX, I believe Manny had 4 grandmothers who died.
