Will hitting Colson clean up tonight was managerial malpractice.

This was the worst lineup of the year. Strikeout king Colson hitting clean up against lefty. Quero hitting 5 th and then Doyle with Rogers and Acuna also thrown in the mix. That line up probably could not even beat a good AAA team. Will showing again his terrible line up construction and lack of urgency.

Don’t we have a hitting coach and a managerial leader? Do they understand the meaning of adjustment? They keep doubling down on losing behaviors.

I believe Murakami was hitting 3 rd tonight, not cleanup. Didn’t matter either way.

Ended with Quero hitting cleanup and striking out. Par for the course.

No he has not. If he kept hitting Mune 2 nd and 3 rd on the lineup he is unlikely to pinch hit for him. IMO.

Will didn’t get the memo of not letting Cruz beat you.

Sox can’t play small ball, which is a better option than striking out so often by trying to hit a homer every time, particularly with two strikes.

No way that Will wins Manager of the Year now.

Even if we win the division, Sox probably won’t last long in the post season, the way they are playing and being managed now.

They can cancel the post game show now.

Need to shake up the lineup. Peters needs to be hitting higher, and Colson and Mune lower. Teel needs to be in the lineup. Peters hitting higher will also get more at bats.

Don’t like to see strike out prone MONTGOMERYs and Chase hitting back to back to back. Peters should be hitting higher in between those three. We need a contact hitter in there.

I think we got fleeced in the Quero trade. I would have rather kept ReyLo and Giolito.

Venable has no sense of urgency. Same happened the other day with Kay.

Quero has three speeds: Slow, Slower and Slowest.

Sox struck out 14 times tonight with many with RISP. We need some contact hitters in between the strike outs!

Obvious to everybody except Venable.

We are in playoff mode. We need to focus on winning today. Will worry about the bullpen game tomorrow. It’s hard to overcome an unforced error like giving up a 3 run homer, by leaving Kay in too long. This loss is on Will, IMO.

Same as why did they let Jeffers hit against the ineffective lefty Kay. Venable ball.

This is one of the worst managed game by Venable so far this season. He is getting worse by the day.

Stare out of the dugout like a deer on the headlights.

Did Will forget we are in a pennant race? No way you can leave Kay in to face Jeffers. No sense of urgency as usual. We need to manage our remaining games like playoff games.

Did you mean Pham not Kwan?

Who decided to stop throwing the change up: Castillo, the catcher or the bench.? Whoever it was, it was a mistake.
