  1. Red Sox took out Chris Sale after one innning. We should have taken Gio out after 3 innings. Red Sox had a sense of urgency that TLR has lacked.
  2. Hey guys, Eloy didn’t lose us the game today. We have bigger issues such as TLR mismanaging the bullpen and leaving Giolito in too long, bringing in Crochet, and not bringing in Kopech who is a shut down pitcher. Leury in RF and all those walks also hurt us.
  3. Doesn’t any of the Sox coaching staff has the balls to question TLR bad decisions or give him good advise?
  4. Who will be made accountable for that terrible decision making? Hahn, KW, TLR, JR Or a combination thereof? It is competing with the Bears Trubitsky deal..
  5. As we cannot get rid of the whole team, TLR needs to go. The buck stops with him, and he must be held accountable for totally mismanaging all the resources and weapons provided. In a normal private sector business,he would have been let go already.
  6. With a good RF acquired at deadline, we would have probably won the HFA.
  7. And taking Engel out late at RF today to replace with Leury late cost us.
  8. We needed to win 2nd game today. We needed to play like it was a game 5, and bring out our best weapons, and that is Kopech. Now we will need to win 3 games in a row including a game 5 at Houston. All those punted games and over resting our stars would be a horrible strategy if we only play 3 games.
  9. It’s ludicrous to say that a Vaughn/Sheet could replace Abreu. Isn’t Vaughn hitting like 8 for 70 in his last games.
  10. Right on. We needed Kopech for us to win this game. It’s getting harder and harder to continue blanket support of TLR.
  11. I hate to say it but TLR has not been better than Ricky.
  12. We needed a dominating performance to keep our momentum after going up 4-2. A dominating pitcher like Kopech can blow away lefties and righties. Lucas should have been pulled out and replaced by Kopech. In the playoffs you need to play to win one game at a time do not save our best weapons.
  13. He is basically throwing Hahn under the bus, for bringing in an expensive closer to be a setup man, which Kimbrel was not suited for.
  14. Need to start by getting a more aggressive, up to date manager.
  15. LaRussa needs to be out for next season. These inexplicable decisions and incoherent explanations should not be a part of the 2022 Sox.
  16. Complete cognitive decline. We needed Kopech to win today. Bringing Crochet in is incompetent. He had to pitch to three batters including AL hitting champion right handed Gurriel. We needed a guy that could blow hitters away, and that isKopech and Hendriks.
  17. Crochet threw almost 30 pitches yesterday. TLR is completely overrated with HOF, etc. he is no longer HOF quality. His bad moves today hurt big time because is in a 5 game playoff, and there is no margin for error, like it was a regular season game which he screwed many but did not affect us as much.
  18. We should have done that at trade deadline this season instead of overpaying for Kimbrel who we did not even need and has been a bust.
  19. Agree. Sox had the best home record in the AL and the worst away record of all playoff teams. It was a no brainer that we needed to go for the HFA. Too many Sunday lineup punts. TLR though he was smarter than anyone. Too much hubris.
  20. Defense trumps hitting in a close game. Engel had to be left at RF. You need to bring in your big guns like there is no tomorrow. TLR over managing again with Kopech and Engel.
  21. RF defense has been Sox Achilles Heel all season with Goodwin, Leury, Vaughn, Sheets. Instead of getting a good RF at trade deadline we trade for another expensive reliever who has been a bust. Hope TLR retires after this season and Hahn gets an early retirement package. We cannot waste another season in this window..
  22. Tv commentators said rthe shift cost the Sox 2 runs, and almost got Moncada hurt and out the game. I always thought the Sox didn’t shift too much. On another topic we keep hitting into double plays. Time to try some hit and run plays. Better than a DP.
