Tony forces the team to play every game with 1 hand tied behind their back. To be clear, he isn't responsible for *all* of the Sox issues. Far from it. But trying to win with a manager that's a total liability is a hindrance, there's no question about it. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, TLR always has at least one bad move in his pocket in every darn game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Still can't believe Josh Naylor hit a grand slam and a 3 run homer after the 8th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I thought the days of other division foes making the playoffs primarily on the fact that they beat up the Sox was behind us? Need to start playing a helluva lot better against the Twins and Cleveland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when it looked like the Sox were starting to put it together, scoring 8 runs after a bunch of 3 or 4 run games...they of course defense (or a lack thereof) bites them in the ass. TA is supposed to be the heart and soul of this team but he's the biggest culprit in their shitty defense, someone needs ro challenge him to get his shit together, I have no idea who that could be since Pito has also had bad games on defensive side. I hope they come out pissed off tomorrow or else the Indians gon' sweep these guys. Someone needs to tell TA7 to stop hotdogging it. Swag in defense doesn’t work well. TA is non chalant in many plays like trying to be cool with fancy sideway throws, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Moncada doesn't love the game. He is more interested in eating, making bad music videos and chasing tail. I guarantee he is back on the IL within two weeks. I think both he and Eloy are on the same diet plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will see him using a walker by the end of the season. It is not only the stress of the games, but also the travel which should be brutal for a guy his age.

Or a certain resident of 1600 Pennsylvania who uses that phrase 22 times per speech. Ny the way, poor Michael Kopech, can't buy a single win with a sub 1.00 ERA!!!

What actually pisses me off is that he's actually a great 3B but that error in the 9th was crucial. Then top it off with a great play by Cleveland to get out Engel to save the game. Just frustrating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they get complacent they make mistakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 All too often, Liam Hendriks challenges good high fastball hitters with high fastballs....and they crush it. He needs to use off-speed pitches more, and spot them around the edge of the zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
