Baseball fans: what is your team's biggest weakness right now?

Question

i'm a fan of the Red Sox and i believe that my team's biggest weakness is the offense. i hope that my Sox lineup can stay healthy for the rest of the season and i hope Jason Bay can fill most of the hole left behind by Manny Ramirez.

thanks for sharing your opinions.

Answer 1

My Red Sox biggest weakness is their front office, they never should've let  Manny go, he deserved to retire with the Red Sox.

Answer 2

Red Sox:

I agree with you about the Sox lack of offense. With Varitek not hitting very well this year and without a solid cleanup hitter, their offense is not as feared as it once was. Because there is no reliable hitter behind Ortiz, teams now have the option to pitch around him without having to worry about the next batter, which presents a problem for the Red Sox. I also think that Jason Bay will be able to have a big impact on this lineup.

Answer 3

The Tigers have two huge weaknesses.

1. offense

2. defense

Answer 4

Texas Rangers

Pitching in general.  We are the best hitting team in the league, yet we can still lose games when we score 7 runs or more.  If we had some good, consistent pitching, we would make the playoffs.

Answer 5

yankees

starting pitching.  they can't keep em healthy.  now joba goes down  tonite with his shoulder.  hopefully its not serious.  when's pavano comin back????  XD

Answer 6

The Fielder/Parra fight.

We don't need publicity on stupid things right now.  Ever since that Cubs series, we just haven't been playing as well as we're capable.  The Atlanta series helped some, but they just need to get it together and grow up (especially Fielder).  I don't know what's going on with him, but Hardy sure mouthed off to him. :)

Answer 7

Rangers- Pitching. Some starters cant last five innings and our bullpen is over worked.

Answer 8

With my Cincinnati Reds, it would take a lot less time and effort to name their strengths...

Answer 9

Houston Astros:

Pitching Depth.

We don't have good Starting Pitching depth which has cost us a chance of contending this year.

Answer 10

Dodgers:Solid pitching from our starters.

We need a 5th starter and Greg Maddux might be waived soon.

Answer 11

Braves

Absolutely hampered by injuries.

Answer 12

Reds.

Our Mascot's Gapper and Mr Red.

Mr. Red's Head fell off while ridding his ATV in the outfield...and Gapper is just stupid.

Answer 13

angels fan- right now it's the infield. we just blew the game AGAIN tonight. up 5-1 in the ninth, infield error eventually ties the game.

i think Krod is extremely over rated. he is having one of the worst seasons of his career, but the saves number is so high it's misleading most people that aren't looking at his actual stats.

Answer 14

Mets

my guys need some bullpen help. Hopefully the call up of Eddie Kunz will help, we can only pray that he does a Joba Chamberlin, but the chances of that happens are like catching lightning in a bottle.

LETS GO METS!

Answer 15

Dodgers need to get healthy, Manny solved all or power issues

Answer 16

White Sox

There biggest weakness is the Minnesota Twins. They can't beat'em, they can't take over first when they play bad teams and we play good teams, and our pitching is pretty weak, 14 runs to royals!!! That retarted.

Answer 17

Mariners-

Worst team in the league...

At this point they are their own weakness and its a big weakness!

Answer 18

ASTROS

pitching depth: they have 1 good starter Roy Oswalt and hes not having his best year. and they dont have 1 good reliver.

Answer 19

My team's biggest weakness is that they don't have Manny Ramirez anymore.

Ok, well that's probably second only to having a shaky bullpen. Papelbon has been good enough to get the job done most of the done and it seems like Okajima *may* be starting to come around, but those middle innings make me nervous, especially when guys like Dice-K are leaving the game in the 6th because of his pitch count.

Answer 20

Milwaukee Brewers. Biggest weakness is Ned Yost. He is not a tactician, doesn't even look like he is even folowing the game being played. Tonight's fight altercation involving Manny Parra and Prince Fielder and the recent four game sweep by the Cubs indicate that Yost has lost control of the team. Hope the Brewers fire him immediately.

Answer 21

giants

they have no offense

they have a desent defense

they have a few good starters and a great closer but if the other team scores no one can make up those runs

but win or lose i still love my giants :)

Answer 22

I'm a Tigers fan and right now the bullpen is a HUGE problem for us!

Answer 23

Dodgers

Even with the addition of Manny Ramirez, offense is still a weakness. Only because everyone needs to produce, they cant expect Manny to  win games the by himself.  

Answer 24

I share your allegiance, but think our biggest weakness is still middle relief.  I always hold my breath when they go to the bullpen.

Answer 25

Yankee fan. Clutch hitting is our main weakness right now IMO. We've been much better lately though. Chemistry needs improvement too.

Answer 26

I'm a Red Sox fan and I think it's their bullpen!

Offense is pretty close to being tied for 1st though.

At the start of the season they also should have put Schilling on the utp list,saved some money on the cap and looked for help in both categories.
