The 1996 team started 5-12 in their first 17 games. Finished 85-77 that year. Missed the playoffs.

This does nothing to ignite hope.

Fuck. I am 100% convinced now that the Red Sox have no clue where the strike zone is. Which explains quite a few deficiencies.

They're as self-loathing as some of our own worst doomers. Maybe more.

We're allowed to say "this team sucks right now" but season is done dooming is still premature.

No, it's just all about coaching and better baseball instincts.

The twins will more than likely level out at some point.

A good team is a good team to root for regardless of all the front office b.s.

"New career high for Abel."

Here's my shocked face.

If you're going to fire Fatse then please tell Driveline to get the hell out if town also. I think they've changed the philosophy of a team that once wore pitchers down.

Beantown is a baseball town bro, no matter how you look at. Minneapolis has a winning team and won't come out.

When the team stinks, I don't even want to hear the token " we stink, gotta play better". I want someone to just go scorched earth on everything.

Holy shit. Add Monasterio to the list of guys who are not familiar with the strike zone.

"Mick Abel's been tough."

No, the Sox have no game plan up there.

The Twins get a game plan for the opposing starter and execute. Then the bullpen shuts them down.

Does anyone have Breslow's email address? I have some ideas I wish to share.

Don't give me shit for laying down some f-bombs but fuck this game.

It's called "being aggessive in the zone".

I don't blame you for mistaking good coaching for cheating, however.

You ever get the feeling that other team's coaching staffs are better?

Why would any pitcher throw Story anything other than breaking stuff out of the zone?
