Even Benetti is getting into the action commenting why do the Sox have the fewest pinch hitting in the majors at five and the Diamondbacks backs have had 49 pinch hitters. And that TLR doesn’t like to pinch hit players while on their “rest” days. How many times we have seen our resting sluggers grabbing bench late in close games, and TLR letting the scrubs hit in game situations, our Chuck has also questioned TLR moves as well. And these are Sox employees. TLR has to go and soon.

Low energy, no accountability manager. Bad coaching. TLR is ruining this season for the Sox.

Give some take signs to our less disciplined hitters. Offer bonus/perks for every walk taken.

At least TLR Learnt his lesson of the many Abreu DP balls last season, and he is running ahead of Abreu whenever feasible.

Maybe TLR should give a take sign once in a while…

You have to be masochistic to enjoy this horror show.

No discipline or accountability. The inmates running the asylum syndrome. Nobody is getting called out.

Burr is not a MLB caliber pitcher, suitable at best for mop up duty one step ahead of a position player pitching. He should be sent down tonight to Charlotte on a Greyhound one way Ticket along with Banks, so TLR cannot bringing them in relief again..

Need to clean up house both on FO and on the field coaching, and very soon or this season is over. No more bad managing, over resting, lack of coaching, no sense of urgency, geriatric organization, etc.

With all the relievers that we carry , why we keep bringing in duds like Burr and Banks in close games late?

You should know by now that TLR does not like to pinch hit, and Leury is his boy on top of that.

Too bad that Engel had a brain fart to dive for that ball in a tied game late and spoil RL outing.

Along with TLR and Cairo. Clean house!

Our hitters are not patient and we do not wait for a good pitch to hit with the bases loaded, and we don’t take walks so it is more difficult to load the bases or walk-in a run.

Pitchers know we don’t take walks, so why throw us a strike in most pitches.

Don’t we have hitting coaches? Don’t we have other coaches supporting the hitting coaches? Where is TLR? What does Cairo do? He is practically invisible.

Sox are very averse to crooked number innings. Think a lack of homers and not talking walks are factors. It is hard to win games without a crooked number here and there, particularly with the bad Sox D.

But plenty of relievers.

And he is hitting .165 way below the Mendoza line.

TLR normally rests the best paid players who are getting millions to grab bench several times a month. When you clinch a playoff spot, then you can start resting right and left. Somebody should send the memo to TLR, which should also tell him it is not a sin to pinch hit with a resting player in a game situation.

It will not be Leury, he is never rested.

In summary, Hahn gets rated an F, including no quality LH outfielder added.

McEwing needs to be replaced as 3 rd base coach. Way too many mistakes.

And fire TLR first of all.

Leury never rests. We rest the players we need the most.
