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.

And our running game too.

TLR is throwing Cease and his performance under the bus with the relievers he is throwing out there, two AAA pitchers in a close game late. And the dreaded lead off walk comes in to tie the game.

TLR bullpen management this year has been atrocious.

This Sox charity interruptions are overdone and annoying. This is an important game. That Melissa’s voice is also annoying.

Harrison has to hit 9 th. He failed three times with runners on hitting 8 th ahead of Mendick. TLR thinking he is a genius with unconventional lineups.

I guess she is not Australian. No accent there. Is she gothic?

Would have preferred Mendick hitting ahead of Harrison. Danny is hitting like .70 points higher. Harrison has come up with men twice in this game and failed.

Burger needs to get in front of ground balls instead of trying to catch them on the side backhanded. This has been at least half of his errors.

We keep hitting ground balls in the infield with RISP. Our inability to hit sacrifice flies with men on 3rd and less than 2 outs also hurts.

Twins, Guardians.

It proves once again the need to pile on runs, we needed every one of the 8 runs scored. We have not been good this year in piling up runs after an early lead. Need a killer instinct. No unwritten rules.

No sense of urgency and no accountability has been a mark of this team. Sox should give out Five Hour Energy instead of Gatorade.

Abreu led the majors last season in hitting into double plays. Need to use the hit and run and steals whenever feasible with Abreu at bat. Sometimes it’s better for us for Abreuto strike out rather than the rally killing DP.

The issue was that the runner moved to third and scored on a ground ball.

TLR has been extending all his starting pitchers too long. ReyLo should have been in after the ump screwed up the strike call on Guerrero.
