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.

TLR makes an average of 5 fireable offenses per week and he is still around. This season is being wasted.

Agree that with TLR around we are destined to a 3rd place finish in the division this year. It is one bad decision after another.

Burger had to pinch hit for Seby when a 3 run homer could win the game for the Sox. I hate that TLR does not like to pinch hit.

Bring the veteran reliever Ruiz to start the 8 th. Instead of the AAA starter And we had a chance.

We left too many runs on the table this game with no clutch hitting, bad base running , and Harrison hitting 8 th. Would have preferred Ruiz in the 8th rather than a AAA rookie. Ruiz generally sucks but he has been in pressure situations many times before.

It was predictable, with the AAA bullpen we are throwing out there. We can’t win close games with this bullpen and without Hendriks.
