Best news is that Goodwin and his terrible CF defense and crappy hitting lately is not in the lineup tonight!

It was satisfying to see the opposing manager doing a worse job than TLR (sticking with Goodwin again) tonight, not challenging two possible outs and intentionally walking Abreu ahead of Eloy’s Moonshot.

He hit 20 homers at Charlotte in 2019.... maybe he bottled some of that.

OK. Apologize. Had an IPad malfunction. It did not cost the Sox any runs.

Particularly at Center Field. TLR is asleep at the wheel playing Goodwin in CF. Enough is enough.

Like tomorrow.

The game plan should have been no Goodwin in the lineup in the first place.

And the worst CF play in MLB. We are paying the price for TLR obsession with lefty righty matchups. It is managerial malpractice. Get this guy out of the game'!!!!!!!

And bad defense as well.

Doesn’t help to have a low energy septuagenarian as manager either.

Sheets homer today reminded me of last night TLR blunder of hitting Goodwin in the 9th instead of Sheets. Today Goodwin strikes out with a man on 3 rd and1 out, and fails to catch Benintendi’s drive and the bloop. Stoney called out Goodwin as not a good CF. Can’t wait until Goodwin grabs some permanent bench. Don’t know what TLR is waiting for. Whatever offense he can provide doesn’t makeup for his horrible D.

More double plays. Will need to hit and run more and take our chances that way. Open some holes in the infield. These DPs are rally killers. We need to adjust.

Goodwin has been horrible. Prefer Hamilton in CF even against righties. His D in CF has cost us in many games. Heists best a AAA player.

We should start worrying about them more than the Indians.

I don’t think Sheets is capable of hitting a ball as soft as Goodwin did to end the game.

Because we had a more dangerous lefty in Sheets also available.

One DP now.

If you are a pitcher who would you fear more, Sheets or Goodwin? That says it all. TLR is exasperating. When are we going to get a competent manager? We have suffered enough with Ventura and Rentería to turn the clock back to the last century with TLR as well.

For some reason Tony favors Goodwin beyond Goodwin’s ability. Goodwin is a bona fide AAA player.

Ángel Hernández Memorial Award for the home plate umpire tonight.

Wow. Goodwin and not Sheets. Don’t like this move.

We are still alive. Tying run to the plate.

Both Heuer and Crochet looked better tonight than in recent appearances. It is the best takeaway tonight. Our offense has been more of a problem lately than the relievers.

No chance with Tim’s impatience. He swung at ball 3.
