caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 ESPN apparently not "real fans" of the Sox. Classic case of "lazy analysis" that has them at anything lower than a B/B- with all the adversity TLR has already overcome to get to where he is today with this team.

Hasn’t TLR created a lot of the adversity himself with his many inexplicable and inexcusable on field decisions? Such as pitching to Buxton, hitting Leury 2 nd and 3rd, not pinch hitting Grandal for McGuire in a game situation, punting second game of a DH fielding a triple AAA lineup, over resting the stars, not pinch hitting with the stars if they are not starting a game, and so on… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has actually happened way more than it used to in the first month of this season. Ozzie especially, but even Chuck at points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TRUE fan would understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
