Losing Season

For a while I thought they'd surely end the season at .500 at least. But their last 25 games are 7-18. That's a serious nosedive. Not a season to remember.

Mongo, I read that the Sox had hired a guy who used to work for Drive Line Sports.  It is a "data-driven" group (hmm) that teaches college pitchers new techniques in their off-season.

That sounds like way too many decisions being made for an organization in transition to new leadership. "New", as in new to the team. Sounds like my hopes of getting a baseball organization in place are starting to dwindle.

The move itself reminds me of a pitching shift the Yankees did when they hired some pitching guru from the private instruction world to become pitching coach. I understand their coaching support system is supposed to be impressive in size and depth, at least. They always have some nice pitching. I would have expected something along this line soon after Bloom took over, not after his demise.
