OK thanks.

Not worse than Harrison. Our 8th and 9th hitters today have been brutal.

BIG ENERGY = rally killer.

You are right. Has he even had a hit?

The team has not been able to take advantage of the Crawford boxes. The Astros are peppering those boxes and killing us with homers. Sox have the fourth lowest homer count in the majors.

He has been a rally killer tonight. Unfortunate that he had to come up with RISP twice and pop up both times. We can’t play guys like this against good teams like the Astros. When TA7 is back, Josh should be disappeared from the roster.

Yes, at least look for a ball to hit in the air, and not the usual ground ball to short. What are you referring to?

I guess in this case we had a slow runner at 3 rd n Burger which made the squeeze choice more difficult.

Failure to get a runner in from 3 rd with less than 2 outs. It’s been a curse for the Sox this season. Harrison did not deliver.

Reese has been one of our better throwing catchers of the last few years.

Heseley looked like a minor leaguer in his first at bat, and so did Harrison. Big wasted opportunity.

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.
