Because the Indians threw in the towel and played just as bad as the Sox.

We had that player. Madrigal.

Tigers were hungrier than the Sox in this game. TLR punted bringing in Fry for a second inning in a close game late. He did not utilize our bullpen well. No sense of urgency or killer instinct.

He should not have been hitting 5 th today.

TLR never pinch hits our big guns late when they are resting sitting on the bench.

That was the play against all those righties, and they could have brought Bummer later. Hendriks does not need the finish the game himself.

Hendriks is in, and they leave Fry in for 2 innings in a close game. Those 2 last Cleveland’s runs with 2 outs again were a killer. Our vaulted bullpen is getting scored with 2 outs quite often.

Problem for Cleveland is that we have at least three stoppers ready to rumble.

Whoever said TLR is a sure Manager of the Year winner this season is in an alternate universe.

You are right. Why put all those resources in the bullpen, when we can’t score enough runs. Trade deadline acquisitions did not add runs to our lineup.

Hinch and/ or Cora, with all their faults, would have looked mighty good in a Sox uniform this season, and our record would have been better for sure.

Are we resting the whole bullpen today for the playoffs? Why is Fry still in the game facing all these righties? It’s clear TLR isn’t going all out for this win. It is embarrassing. Too little too late.

I guarantee you that TLR will not win manager of the year award, and I’ll leave at that.

Game has become too fast and complex for TLR. This is not your 20 th century laid back summer pastime anymore.

Eloy cannot hit behind Grandal nowadays. He has taken the bat away from Yaz.

Comerica Park has taken away three homers away from the Sox today.

He doesn’t have to let him go. Just sweeten up some nice retirement package.

Should hit Eloy farther down in the lineup.

Never make an out on third with no outs. He would have been in scoring position at 2nd with no outs. These are the kind of plays we need to avoid in the playoffs. Was this on Yoan or Super Joe?

Can’t be worse than Keuchel today.

Almost a 2 run homer by Schoop. Time to start warming up somebody.

Sox 3rd highest ground ball rate in the majors. Need to be more patient to look for a ball you can hit up in the air.

Wished he would have taken the first pitch with the bases loaded, and a pitcher with control problems. Another double play. What a curse for the Sox.

Best lineup of position players of the season. Let’s clinch with our best and not back into the playoffs.
