No. It was a K instead. Bad but better than DP. -

He is right. Goodwin is a AAA player. Would have lovedGallo or Bryant acquisition, who can contribute in every game unlike a pitcher. And not having to see Goodwin in the outfield is a big plus. -

Goodwin was laughing as he was tagged out. These mental farts hurt even more in tied games against good teams. -

Why is Goodwin trying to go to third with 2 outs? He would already be in scoring position at second. -

We have a large ground ball hitting rate. We need to adjust by calling more hit and run plays, even if you get thrown out is only one out vs all the double plays we have been hitting into. We would also open holes in the infield. We are sitting ducks in a station to station static game. -

He didn’t even run on second 3-2 count to Abreu. Hit and run and steal attempts also open holes in the infield as well as avoiding double plays. Anderson should be running every time he is at first. -

I don’t either. Sox seem to be hit and run and base steal averse. But also frequently hitting into rally killing double plays, which come hand n hand. -

Glad Cesar got the ball up in the air in a potential double play situation and drove in a run. -

We had McCann. Anderson will not take walks and is not setting the table. I would hit him second. -

He has sucked lately. Too many passed balls. -

Not at all. I am sure we have one of the most double plays hit into as well, as they come hand in hand. -

I also take Cease over Keuchel at this time. Heck, even ReyLo. -

This why we needed to go all out to win at the Twins, before we ran into the better teams. We have been punting many games lately. -

It was a 3-2 count. Didn’t need to swing at a ball to protect. Just take the walk. -

Because he is a switch hitter and TLR loves match ups. -
Engel to IL (Again), Foster down, Burr/Wright Up. Burdi DFA
hankchifan replied to Capn12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Bad news on Engel. Will get stuck with more Goodwin bad D. Wished Foster would have been optioned two days ago. -
TLR should delegate challenges to someone else on the bench or to a group of coaches on the bench to get a different perspective. We should err on the side of being aggressive. TLR said that in one of the plays it was a tie and that normally is not overturned from out to safe. This is BS, a tie normally goes to the runner.

I am not a troll. But yes I have issues with some TLR managerial decisions, which I vent out in Soxtalk. Apologize to those who disagree but there is freedom of speech in the good ole USA.
