lets keep it simple for you Robin, Nate Jones starts eight innings with one run leads

Also, Matt Albers must prove last year was fluke rather than you assuming it beforehand

keep running into outs

Losing men on the bases has to stop. It's going to kill this team.

According to Robin we will see Nate Jones closing a few games this year.

Robin needs to be put on mute when Abreu is at the plate. NO MORE STEALING WHEN ABREU IS UP.

This Ventura is a real dolt. He masks it by being quiet.

Nate jones starts the eighth inning of one run games. Say it with me robin. You will get it

Rick Renteria would probably still be managing the Cubs if Joe Madden hadn't been available.

keep unnecessarily burning through that bullpen day after day Robin

I'm surprised that hasn't been a complaint about him from the players in the past

Was Avi Garcia disciplined in any way for inexcusably being picked off first base down many runs?

This is a guy who is living on some kind of reputation about his talent. He needs to be shown how to do things properly in MLB but Robin will just go along reinforcing bad behavior. What would the lineup miss if he sat for a couple of games?

I dont like that Duke gets used every single game against guys like Mauer who dont care about handedness.

Do you think that's true? I'm sure every team has the same info. I never rember the Sox getting Mauer out anyway.

Oh, Im sure every team has every stat on everyone. Robin clearly ignores most of it though (i.e. Sacrifices, Stolen Base attempts etc)

Oddly enough, that seems to be a cultural thing with the White Sox. Not just the organization, but the fanbase as well. I think it goes back to the 50s when it was all but impossible to hit in the old ballpark and the Sox had to grind out 2-1 wins with mistake-free pitching, airtight defense, and scratching for runs anyway they could. I know old time Sox fans who really disliked the Frank, Magglio, Lee teams as "station-to-station" plodders. There is an overall fascination in White Sox Nation with the bunt and the steal.

It'd be funny if it was a directive from Jerry

Mauer is decidedly mediocre at best now. Even Danks should be able to get him out a couple of times.

There are dozens of things we can get on Ventura for. Going with a lefty lefty matchup in the later innings I don't think is one of them.

Back to those old time Sox fans, how many of them pronounce Robin's name as "Venchura"?

I've actually heard Ventura tell a guy, "There is no CH in my name." :lol:

Post subject:  Re: The 2016 Ventura Sucks Thread

Robin, you class dunce, the team brought up Eric Johnson specifically for the purpose of pitching long relief until the pitching staff is restabilized. Danks gave you a shutout through the first two times around the order only with hopes and prayers. Why does he get to face Trout?

Robin did that a lot last year with Danks as well. After 3+ years haven't you learned anything about Danks? Isn't KW toady Don Cooper supposed to tell you it is time to pull him?

How this guy keeps his job is beyond me.
