One thing the Sox should rethink is the idea that Taylor is their no. 1 prime reliever/ closer. If my memory is correct, last night was his 4th appearance in a row where he’s given up, at least, one run, three home runs and then last night.

I still, still don’t get everyone complaining about Colson and not freaking out about Mune. Four strike outs last night. Mune (yes, and Colson too, but less so) is an absolute anchor on the offense. Other than pitchers, every single Sox player has a better bat right now than Mune, any player on the bench. I’ll go further on that: I believe that every single position player at Charlotte has a better bat than Mune right now. Come on, admit it, weren’t you shocked and surprised at the ONE hard foul ball Mune hit, surprised he actually had good contact? The announcer pointed it out how rare it was. He’s an anchor. We’re trying to win the division. Get him out of the lineup.

Chase, don’t try to hit a homer. Make good contact, maybe go opposite field.

I get it and I bang my head against the wall at a ton of what Colson does. But I don’t get everyone complaining only about him instead of Mune or Braden or . . . others?

Tell me again how good of an eye Teel has at the plate.

There is a very good chance the Sox will allow Cleveland to win the division having a losing record.

Let’s look for a positive here: There is no longer be any question that Sandlin should be pitching in Castillo’s spot the rest of the year. No reasonable reason we should see Castillo again.

One thing I love about the Sox bullpen: they are awesome at striking out the guy AFTER they fail to get the guy they needed to get out.

I’m saying it now, but might start a thread with this after the game. Yes, plenty of blame to go all around, all parts of the Sox players and organization. Also, the Sox would not have been in 1st place at all without Vargas. But, if the Sox don’t win the division/ make the playoffs, the blame goes on Vargas more than anyone else, not even close. His inability to hit RISP the 30/ 40 days is horrible.

Prove me wrong Vargas. Nope!

It is no exaggeration to say, right now, that Mune’s bat is every bit as bad as any of the terrible bats the Sox were putting out there during that 121 loss season. I can’t really remember names: Amaya and whoever. But Mune is that bad now.

When is the last time Vargas got a hit with men on base? I can’t remember one. Has it happened in September?

Swing the damn bat!! I know someone just said this, but I’m pissed. They have given the Sox Soooo many chances the last few innings.

This is not true. Pirates are playing well now, and the Sox bats are terrible right now. A month ago, the Sox win this series whether in Chicago or Pittsburgh. A couple months ago when the Sox had their home field magic going, they sweep these guys easily. Just, right now, it’s two teams going different ways.

I would be surprised if both Mune and Colson didn’t end the season batting below .200.
