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.

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.
