reiks12 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hopefully the Indians win 15 in a row so this team can actually feel the heat a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 All of this will be forgotten when they score 5+ runs against the Yankees in the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 No need to try to run for Lamb or hit for Leury. Post stupid lineups, win stupid prizes. Sox now 11-18 in games a good manager would matter most. Hopefully they will be able to hire one before this window closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down a run in the bottom of the 9th. There is literally no reason not to give them at bats when the game is on the line. There is no defending that. I just don't get it.

hi8is Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Guess we figured one upcoming off day in a stretch of 16 games pushed us to play our Chicago Knights squad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Good thing I didn't bother watching this stinker, as soon as I saw the Sox hadn't scored in the 6th, I right away assumed they would just get shut out by some Twins pitcher the Sox confused for Cy Young. Not a great way to head into a series with the Yanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG23SoxFan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If only we could replace TLR with one of the numerous message board managers lol, we would be 40+ games over .500. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankchifan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just now, Capn12 said: A patented Leury GO to end the game. And why was he hitting there? Because he can never leave the lineup. Inexcusable to have Lamb and Leury hitting at the end of a 1-0 deficit game in the top of the 9th., with three of our boppers sitting on the bench. Presume TLR reasoning is he prefers a. lefty righty matchup, regardless of how crappy the lefty is. A shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome's Hat Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just want to remind people that the Twins took 3 of 4 against Houston in Houston over the weekend. It's baseball. Stuff happens. Get em tomorrow I guess. It seems like the Big Bastard is our losing streak shield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I hope they’re motivated by the next four series. They should want to prove to themselves they can compete against good teams. Still, I’ll take a 13-6 season series win vs the Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday they also punted leaving Keuchel in one inning too long, and today with Ruiz letting Polanco beat us and not pinch hitting for Lamb and Leury in the 9th.
