He is not the only one in our team.

No accountability, no adjustments.

Agree. Even if Grandal would have drawn a walk he would need a home run to score, he is so slow.

Engel or Mendick, at least they have some speed if they get on.

Someone give him the take or bunt sign.

One of the main problems is that we don’t walk and are not hitting home runs. At the same time we hit into many double plays, and have bad clutch hitting and bad baserunning…not a good formula to score many runs and have high LOB numbers.

Might as well had him bunting. He was not on tonight.

Agree, but can’t afford to punt or give away games like tonight with so many dumb moves.

There is a limit to fan masochism.

Like I said over the weekend, we have turned into the Chicago Keystone Cops Sox.

Robert looked pretty good sitting and laughing in the dugout. If he was not healthy enough to play, let him rest at home orbe in the training room.

Well Steve it did not work. He could do the same thing hitting 7,8 or 9th. Not leading off. Stop being an apologist for TLR stupid decisions. Worry about your legacy.

But we hire a manager which is at the end of the window.

Or at least pinch hit in a one run game late. TLR has the lowest number of pinch hitters used in MLB this season.

Don’t we have a first base coach that could have told Mendick to stay at first?

The only thing that can save this season and energize the fan base again is firing TLR ASAP.

Try somebody else there tomorrow. Grandal should not ever lead off again. Hitting below the Mendoza line and one of the slowest runners in the majors.

Or at least pinch hitting for Grandal in the 8 th.

He should not have been hitting lead off in the first place. He is striking out often and cannot run. I will to say he has been the slowest lead off hitter in the majors this season. Another stupid TLR decision.

We have no fundamentals, no coaching, no training, no accountability. We can’t fire the whole team so TLR has to go. He is conducting this orchestra and he has failed miserably. No energy, bad managing, no adjustments, terrible lineup construction, no accountability. You need to pull the trigger HOF or not.

No, he wasn’t. Third strike out, on the way to the Golden Sombrero. On top of that, TLR hits him lead off, just as bad as hitting Harrison 2 nd and Leury 3 rd in earlier games. TLR lineup construction this season has not been HOF caliber by a mile.

Pitching should be the least of our worries nowadays.

Particularly with no TA, Robert, Eloy.

Is Kirk related to Yermin Mercedes?

Pollock should play against lefties ahead of Sheets.
