This is the third game that Banks has pretty much lost it for the Sox. Why isn’t he at Charlotte? Stick with Sousa or anybody else in the bullpen. Don’t bring him in close games.

I don’t understand why Leury never rests.

No need to be ready as TLR does not believe in pinch hitting our stars when they don’t start a game., even in a 2-1 game late.

Good for them. TLR is too stubborn and inflexible. Does not adjust and doesn’t maximize the use of his bench when warranted. I think he has only pinched hit 5 times the whole season. TLR should resign or retire, he is ineffective and is ruining our season. Miguel Cairo should go with TLR as well. What has he done this season? Is he advising TLR or is he afraid to contradict him?

One more reason to finally retire TLR.

We got the good Hendriks tonight. When he can get breaking pitches over it is pretty much a sure save.

TLR switched Leury to LF and left Pollock on the bench. Looks like another planned rest day from TLR. Like I said earlier, TLR has at least one bad move in his pocket every darn game.

Robert bailing out the shitty defense. He is pretty much 50% of the team now.

He should not be pulling the ball on this at bat. Needed to get the runner to third at least.

We would have been much better off giving a contract to a good everyday outfielder than to a reliever. Our FO sucks as well.

A better LF catches that drive. Engel and possibly Pollock would have caught it. We only have two good outfielders on the team, Robert and Engel. We spent all our money on relievers instead.

Throw a cookie to Benintendi on a 3-0 count and first base open with DP candidate Perez on deck was not smart.

He needed to catch the throw with two hands, there was time for a tag. Bad D again.

We should have had this guy in RF last season.

Love the occasional Bat drop though.

Hey you are not missing much on this end. Gordo verbal diahrrea is hard to smell too. You also missing another tedious Sox Math.

Thank you Hawk.

Maybe he should be moved down in the lineup. He is a rally killer now.

Same as on last Friday’s game, TLRshouldhave been told to warm up both a lefty and a righty in the disastrous 8 th inning, when he brought in the lefty Banks to face two right handed sluggers. TLR is averse to having two relievers up at the same time, as well as to pinch hitters.

He must be a 100% TLR yes man, afraid to question or challenge him. He also has to go.

TLR probably decided that Moncada was out the whole game, same as NBA’s DNP (did not play) coaches decision. No sense of urgency again.

Too many 3 ball counts and then challenging a slugger.

Yesterday.

Sox generally do not do well against soft tossing, crafty lefties.

The excuse in the past is that Abreu is not effective in cold weather and we have to wait till the weather warms up. Let’s see if that is the case this season or is he washed up.
