Grab some bench!

Making full swings. Not attempting to just make contact with 2 strikes. Abreu not attempting to just move the runner over.

Robert is our most dangerous hitter now with RISP. Moncada has been a dud.

If that is the case we lose. Zunino is a tough dude.

Jose is not trying to move the runner to third, pulling everything and then striking out. Disappointing.

We are getting too spoiled with 20,000+ crowds at GRF. Tampa is not a baseball town.

Yoan 8th inning at bat was also bad. I guess TLR now learnt that we should not let Olson beat us.

TA should have hit for Goodwin. But TLR seldom pinch hits our boppers when they are given a day off, even in game situations.

Particularly the Vaughn miscue ahead of Olson homer. Our defense is now our weakest link, particularly our catchers and outfield corners.

Yes, thanks. I meant with all our guys now back.

The Kopech homer would not have happened if Vaughn would not have committed two errors in one; one by not letting the grounder go to Hernández and the second a bad throw to first. Olson hit the homer with 2 outs and 2 unearned runs resulted. If Abreu would have been playing first instead, that error would not have happened. But shit happens!

Sox are a much better team today than the As.

Murderers Row. Anyone on the lineup can hit a homer at any time. The three run homer is back in the arsenal. Will be an exciting team to watch everywhere they go. Sox popularity across the USA is rising. FOD game success helped.

Just ask Yermin.

Agree. Let’s have many outings with the good Hendriks, and minimal outings with the bad Hendriks.

He should be hitting 5 th.

Sox have unveiled the full Monty. The Super Nasty Boys of Kopech, Bummer, Kimbrel, and Hendriks. Got to be the best bullpen in MLB today. Hope the Sox utilize this bullpen optimally, and get enough runs early for our nasty boys to protect.

Are you a Cubs fan?

That is a mighty big belt, lot of stuff can go in there.

The problem withTLR match ups is that he does not take into account the quality of pitcher and/or batter. It is pretty inflexible. Tonight as example the lefties Moncada and Goodwin are hitting ahead of Robert. I much prefer Robert against the righty than the other two.

I presume you are being sarcastic. It is unexplainable. On top of that Goodwin. is hitting ahead of Robert?

Did we have anybody on the bench that could have played LF so we could have taken Eloy out up 9-0? This is like keeping Lebron in the game late in a Lakers blow out.

He is kind of a journey man. He is a career 6.00 ERA pitcher with 6 years with Orioles and Mariners. He is 31 yrs old. No way he will stay with the team and send ReyLo down.

I think Collins is our worst position player at this time.

Was he ever a pitcher?
