The Apple TV Friday night announcers were worse.

Was stupid throw to third. Have to keep double play in order. Not much of a chance of throwing Bergman at third, and even less with Burger playing 3 rd.

We better have a big lead going into 6 th -7 th if Sousa/ruizFoster have to hold the fort.

Enough of hitting Leury in the first three spots for starters.

Particularly when the handedness involved Sheets, Leury, Moncada, Yaz..

Particularly with Kate Upton at home.

Cueto did a great job. He is fun to watch. Like a mini Luis Tiant. Great signing.

Credit where credit is due. Signing Johnny Cueto was a good deal.

This embarrassing game is finally and mercifully ovah!

Including the manager and most of the coaching staff.

It is a total embarrassment of an inning, all started with the dreaded lead off walk, and not having a quality reliever available and warmed up. It is the home run derby combined with batting practice. and 10 runs and 14 batters later…finally over….

It’s so bad that I wish we had Gordon instead tonight.

Not a wise throw to third.

Tony is not a competent manager anymore. Read an article on ESPN this week comparing Tony with Francona. The three authors agreed that TLR had to go. They compared TLR with Francona, and That they did not recall one Francona decision questioned this season, and TLR decisions get questioned practically every game. That the Sox are not going anywhere with TLRat the helm.

Why is Giolito still in the game? He is done. shades of leaving Cease too long in the 6 run inning against the Dodgers. TLR is insanely bad.

I thought he was mute.

Also the Sox needs a better training staff. Too many strains, pulls. Are these guys stretching properly before games?

Joe needs to see who is coming to bat. In this case, Mendick has been hot.

For White Sox players it is. Robert, Moncada, Eloy all injured running to first base.

White Sox leads the majors in runners thrown out at the plate with 10. In this case there were 2 outs but still Leury was a dead duck with any king of good throw from LF. McEwing has not been a good 3rd base coach.

Right on. TLR is the best player in the Twins roster.

An other good thing about the laugher is that it was TLR proof. Too big a hurdle to f*uck it up.

Fortunately Leury didn’t start the game with hi s .210 OBP and rally killer capabilities.

Lowdown is Leury hitting 6 th. With a .213 OBP. He is almost in the automatic out zone.

Reynaldo Lopez is the Leury of the bullpen. He pitches in every situation. Starter, long relief, middle relief, late relief, closer. You name it. He is more productive however than Leury.
