He always puts in the relievers who gives up runs.

We've been thru this before. Of course Robin can only use the guys available to him. That is not to say that Robin has not cost the team runs and wins by some of the moves he has made this year.

How many wins has Rick Hahn cost the team by doing absolutely nothing to upgrade the pitching staff?

That isn't part of The Plan.

With Elon, Tulsi, and Don

Probably at least 8-10.

Robin, at least 6-8

I know he is the scared cow but how much of this falls on Coop?

Has the "pitcher whisper" lost his magic touch ?

_________________

Coop hasn't been around much since the AS break actually. He's been sick, had vertigo, hungover, I dunno.

I think Coop's track record kinda speaks for itself. The bullpen is bad this year and nobody short of Jesus himself could fix it. The Sox have the most quality starts in MLB since Coop took over, so obviously he is doing something right.

The most frustrating thing was Hahn doing nothing at the deadline.

As Andy said in Shawshank "I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying."

Make the move to improve or dump guys and build for next year.

I thought he was sharper than what I have seen this season.

Yeah...i agree.....I really thought Hahn was slick n would dump Dunn, Danks, Beckham n Deaza.

Hawk sounds so much more relaxed and like he's having fun with Paciorek than he ever will with Stone. They just aren't a good match

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Hawk's interview with Lou Piniella last night sounded like a wake. I just could not figure out who was being waked.

This is not rocket science. Nobody wants these Stiffs. Hahn can't hold a gun to some GM's head and say take my garbage and the remainder of the money they are owed.

If DeAza and Beckham are not non tendered and actually offered $5,000,000 contracts again, this is the same old joke it always has been.

Oaf Dunn remains the worst Sox player over an extended period of time that I have ever seen.

As usual, no Playoffs.

After coming out of the AS break 9-5, these jerks certainly have had just a fucking god awful terrible last 9 games.

really? I would have thought a deal could be worked out for De Aza ..Beckham. n Danks ...Dunn I agree...zero value..but those guys have some value.

There's no way Beckham and De Aza had any value.

Beckham has as much value as Barney who was traded.

I guess.

I been saying Beckham n Barney thing for years BR...and The Samardiza Sucks ...you are late to the party...but don't ya think. that Danks...Deaza n Beckham could all improve in the N.L. ? Even if the value is low...its value...n danks might be high 3 era guy in the N.L. decent 4Th starter...why get nothing for them n be stuck with Danks contract for 2 More years @ 15 per.
