Isthe hitting coach a common denominator combined with poor players selection by RH?

No running game tonight. I guess Vaughn is too slow, but why hit Grandal behind Vaughn.? Two slowest runners in MLB hitting back to back?.!

RickHahn should be embarrassed with Shaw’s performance.

Grandal has been one of our worse players lately. Hitting him 6 th is not smart with Vaughn hitting 5 th.. Our two slowest runners hitting back to back, limiting hit and run opportunity with Grandal. Grifol lineup construction is awful

In hindsight, we should have started Touissant instead of Kopech. In hindsight, Shaw should have been DFA before the game.

TA has the lowest OBP in MLB at .245. Why is he still hitting at the top of the lineup? Grifol is too stubborn and not good adjusting IMO.

I think they paid the bargain price of $9,999 with cash discount in a brown paper bag.

ERA this season 6.15. Career ERA 5.31. Not even worth of mop up duties.

And he paid only $19 million for the team, albeit in in the early 1980s.

Robert is too injury prone to participate in a marathon like the HRD.

It’s good to remember that Jerry bought the Sox for $19 million back in the day. He has a huge equity on this asset, But has not invested properly to make it a winning organization. He is not selling because he does not need the money, particularly at his age. iMO.

He needed then a cricket bat.

JR is probably sleep most of the time.

Don’t expect any advise or contribution from Grifol. Royals have the 29 th ranked minor league system., way to hire a manager from an even crappier organization. .

Miss Billy Hamilton. We win this game with Billy at second instead of Sheets.

Grifol is not a good manager. He is converting the Sox into the Royals of the Southside..

Graveman has been a disappointment as a closer.

OK. My bad.

1. Hahn. 2. TA. 3. Moncada. It’s close with Hahn and TA almost a tie, but Hahn has hurt the team more overall. IMO.

I would have still gone with Benintendi even against a lefty, with Remilliard at second , hitting second , and Andrus on the bench. Continuing to hit TA second is managerial malpractice. Witness the 0 for 5 today and the strike out in the 10th.

Cards fans travel well. They have stars like Arenado and Goldschmidt. A few thousand for sure.

Grandal looks like he is done. Don’t understand why is he pinch hitting when has been striking out so often lately.

A major reason for being 14 under.

Sox can’t hold a lead from the 7 th on. Our relievers have been awful lately. Only solution as I see it is score more runs. One run leads for the Sox late are not holding up.
