So it looks like no Eloy in sight for the foreseeable future as well. Something is wrong with the Sox and injuries, is it training? Is it coaching? Is it selecting the wrong players?. Is it lack of adjustments? Lack of feedback and accountability? Or most likely a combination thereof? Something needs to change.

No matter if it was supposed to be Helseley’s ball, playing all these AAA rookies comes back to haunt you sooner or later, particularly with our terrible coaching.

Big Energy making sure we did not get shut out. Good running. Cannot say the same for Robert and Abreu jogging to first in the same inning.

Giolito is our #5 starter now.

Burger has sucked since coming back from getting hit by a pitch on his wrist. Too bad as he was on a roll before being hit.

Man, Vaughn is slow. Is he slower than Abreu?

Costly game so far, Mendick and Engel injured, and Giolito with Keuchel like implosion.

Heseley has looked terrible. Is he an improvement over Sheets?

Alejandro Kirk the revenge of Yermin Mercedes. Don’t throw him a 3-0 cookie, he is a hitter not looking for a walk.

Two double plays for the Sox in 2 innings. Time to activate the running game.

Sox have one of the worst managed/coached/trained teams in MLB with propensity of playing AAA guys with changing lineups

AAA outfielder cost us twice in the 2 nd inning. Mendick had a beat on the ball, and don’t blame a Mendick for going after the ball after the poor Heseley play in the batter before.

We’re TLR, Katz and Cairo awake or it was beyond their bed time!

I read that it was pretty much even in missed calls. Toronto got 8 missed strikes and the Sox 9 missed strikes. Some more important than others. The missed ball four call to McGuire in extras almost cost us the game.

Stoney said it was Engel first career IBB.

The home plate ump was the worst. Made Angel Hernandez look great by comparison.

I guess no one is now calling for Big Energy DFA.

Big win, despite the terrible strike three call on Reese. Big energy delivers. I eat crow for questioning Harrison hitting 8 th.

Too bad Jose swung at ball 4, and now he will be the Manfred runner in the bottom of the 12 th.

Dodged a big bullet pitching to Guerrero. TLR is probably the only MLB manager that would pitch to Vlad in that situation.

Doesn’t look like TA7 was running hard on the double play ball.

We cant hit a sacrifice fly and instead we hit into many double plays.

Robert bails out TLR and the Sox. Thank god.

TLR does not like to pinch hit. His incompetence grows every day. In any other MLB team he would have been fired long ago.

The logical play was Burger pinch hit for Zavala, and McGuire come in for D. But TLR is illogical.
