No review?
Its not a good time to be sitting JD Martinez either....He will heat up eventually
Is Roenicke just playing out the season without any care how we play before he rides off into the sunset and calls it a career?
Just think of two words: kumar rocker!
As fans we're disappointed, but it's also important to remember these are young guys struggling in a confusing and even dangerous time. Players like Devers and Benintendi are good major leaguers in current funks, but imagine how much harder it is for coaches or teammates to help them out with instructive words of encouragement behind masks (I speak from experience as a Little League coach this summer). Other factors that could affect motivation may include the non-competitive pitching, the absence of energetic personalities like Betts and Cora, and even the now-restricted tech contributions of video guru JD Martinez.
None of this is Roenicke's fault... but you can't fire the players.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
I don't buy giving excuses to major league players who don't get it done. I don't blame Roenicke for players not doing their part. I do blame him when he makes bad decisions, but there are not enough incidences yet to form an opinion. The management probably will look for a replacement this off season. Oh, you can get rid of players who don't perform. Just have to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
