If mgt and players want him back he'll be back

or the pitchers the goal is to keep the runs and walks down.

yeah he probably should have changed the order or something.

The team coasted to a very convincing Central crown. Yes he is responsible. This roster was not ready to make the kind of run we all wished we would see. Just seeing that previous post of a pitching staff with an era over 8 tells me everything I need to know.

you are still dreaming.

yeah ok his pitchers didn't give this team a chance to win PERIOD.

I think he has exposed tons of holes in this team. Now its mgt job to do right and fix the flaws. I haven't believed this was a world series contending team since the all star break yes. Still hoped like hell but just looking at the bullpen roster I knew I was getting my alcs ticket money returned.

You know these Larussa haters are gonna be here forever. Pitching absolutely sucked. PERIOD! I still have no idea how this bullpen was going to go anywhere. Bring Tony back next year and lets get it done.

What do you think he has to go to?

Again with the Larussa stuff Pitchers just not helping

you shouldnt call yourself a fan

go away

Thank you Whatever that stat about 12 walks was it These pitchers have not done the job. PERIOD!

The pitchers have Not done their jobs. You can continue to blame Tony but the facts are what they are.

At the end of the day I guarantee Tony has formed some opinions of this team. Earlier in the year Lucas had a mound visit and then proceeded to blow up and try to put tony under the bus. Look at the job the bullpen did all year(nothing special). His playoff roster has Garcia, a bad version of my favorite rookie(Vaughn) and Engle in the starting lineup. I dont put it past Tony to expose the flaws that are all being discussed here so that mgt is forced to make some better off-season moves. While I was truly hoping for a long playoff run, I cannot honestly say that THIS team was ready to give us one. I'm not mad or upset at all as this team is in a position to succeed for many years to come. We have flaws and they need to be addressed for the Sox to be real contenders.

Couldn't agree more.

Agreed

Grandal .ooo after 2 games. Grandal, Eloy, Moncada 1-11 today doesn't include another 2-10 from 7,8,9 batters They have to be better.

Lucas loses his shit when anything goes wrong. He's a f'n pansy. I have no problem with letting him start the fifth as he was skirting around batters somewhat effectively to that point. Still too many walks. The team gave him the lead twice and he wouldn't or couldn't challenge batters in the zone. Manager decisions are a coinflip. If Lucas does his job in the fifth all of this could be a mute point. I'm just not going to jump on the this is Larussa's fault bandwagon.

I agree there. Wholeheartedly think lucas is the softest pitcher in the world. So in conclusion, Larussa missed his opportunity to make the correct change and therefore he probably did start the decline with that decision.

You're crazy. Lucas set this up in the fifth. Team gave you the lead and you give some free bases. SMH The Tony haters are wrong

Please quit. Why bring in Kopech in that stage of game. Tony saw early in season that lucas is soft as hell and went with his tough lefty out of the bullpen. How can tony be blamed for any of this? Both games more often than not sox turn 3-0 counts into outs and astros turning 0-2 in walks. lucas cost this team huge today. you absolutely CANNOT give free bases like that after the team gave him the lead. I've got no problems with Tony here at all.

Absolutely. You cannot give the free bases to them after your offense got you the lead

Id live to see something like that or just something that felt like a productive outing out of him hes the biggest fear i have of sox pitchers now

Thank you The Sox will be fine Hopefully Larussa uses todays experiment to take away any future starts by Williams though. Late game defensive spot from here on out and I'm a happy man.
