TA batting second is one of the reasons for Robert’s many solo homers.

How much longer is Pedro going to keep TA hitting second? TA has failed to set the table for Luis,like Benintendi is now doing leading off and taking walks. TA defense has also been poor. He failed to cover second in the bottom of the 9 th. Fortunately, we had a big lead tonight. In any game TA plays, he should be hitting in the bottom of the lineup. These actions are no brainers. IMO.

The Sox had a pretty tough schedule to begin the season, so it figures that we will have an easier schedule towards the end of the season. The question is whether it would be too late.

We should worry more about the Guardians than the Twins.

In the college World Series they had starting pitchers going 150 pitches. I am sure there was no pitch count. However, I would be concerned about arm injury at that many pitches. But it can be done. In MLB back in the day starters went longer and there were many complete games.

Might as well tried a bunt instead…

Taking Sheets out was brutal. He is not that slow, and had hit the ball hard tonight, and is a lefty. Why do we need that many pinch runners when we generally cannot manufacture runs anyway.

Had a chance in the 9 th with bases loaded and no outs, but the wrong guys at the plate. Seby is a rally killer.

All of the above.

And took out a homer threat in Sheets who had hit the ball hard tonight….

We could have used Sheets in with the bases loaded , but Grifol took him out and we have Seby instead. Who promptlystrikes out with the bases loaded. Grifol cant get anything right. It’s ovah!,

Remilliard is now a much better hitter than TA. TA should be benched.

TA is just going through the motions. He is becoming an automatic out. Move him out of second spot. Looks like the boys have thrown in the towel on this game.

Last night was more brutal, bringing Grandal to catch in a tied game in the bottom of the night, with Bummer pitching. Not a good idea. Tonight Sheets is a home run threat and we are down three…..?

And why didn’t Boston yell atBurger?

Seby, Boston, Burger with brain farts. Nobody paying attention on that unnecessary throw to first.

Ohtani is the modern era Babe Ruth.

They said he had a cracked finger nail. Apparently it did not affect his swing. Touissant apparently did not get the memo of not letting Ohtani beat us. Next time send the memo in creole.

And his wealth manager.

Wow! Too bad Eloy had such a bad slide at 3 rd. Otherwise we were tied…

Ohtani is a very valuable commodity. Will not have seen that crowd for any other pitcher.

Thanks. My bad.

My bad. Thanks for clarification. I pulled a Gordo here spoke too much too soon.

Should not be hitting 5 th.

Why didn’t Vaughn run to first on that strike out passed ball? Double mistake as he struck out swinging at a ball over his head.
