Ozzie better not see this!

"It was astounding to me that certain things weren't really being addressed, they were easy fixes. It just takes a little bit (of work)." -- Mark Parent (talking about the Sox inability to hold runners or throw them out stealing.)

Ozzie famously said last year there was "nothing you can do" about noted speedster Mike Cuddyer swiping three bags in one game against the Sox.

The Sox blew it this year, but at least they didn't blow it with fundamental mistakes and lack of attention to detail. For the most part, the collapse was due to poor hitting and nothing else.

Arent those things the pitching coaches responsibility?

I was thinking the same thing, and if not, wouldn't somebody there say something?

I agree....even as they folded this September, it was not a total collapse as in the past....isolated to the offense, which is not new.
