Some old timers want to ban the shift. Maybe TLR is one of them.

After Engel returns Eaton will be more expendable. Being a lefty has helped him to still being around.

Eaton hitting 5th yesterday hurt us badly. He was a rally killer. Today he should be hitting 8 th if at all!

Eaton has been horrible. A rally killer swinging and missing on all those high fast balls. Twins starter yesterday said striking out Eaton in the 1st with a fastball out of the zone, turned the game around for him, and that before Eaton at bat, he did not think He was going to get out of the 1st inning. I can’t imagine why was Eaton hitting 5th ahead of Grandal who has. 400 OBP with all those walks and HRs. This was a factor in the loss. I would batEaton 8th if he has to be in the lineup.

Don’t let Sano beat us again. He is hot. Barry Bonds treatment if necessary.

Grandal should be at first. He has .400 OBP with all those walks and the occasional HR.

Kopech should have been pitching in the 8th as well, particularly with Sano coming up. You cannot let Sano beat you. You do not throw him a fast ball strike, just sliders or walk him.

Grandpa should be sent to rehab ASAP.

Sox would be better off if TLR goes on medical leave ( rehab?) and have someone else take over.

Sox can thrive without TLR but can’t thrive without Mercedes and his clubhouse support. TLR better not retaliate against Yermin.

Leury and García is the same guy. Substitute Garcia for Eaton.

If he had a problem with Mercedes, he should have told him privately, not throwing him under the bus publically.

His time has passed. He thinks we are back to the 80s. He is out of touch with current reality and modern players.

Because we probably do.

I would have had Kopech throw another inning or even finish the game. Bummer can’t get Cano out.

We should call out TLR mistakes. Tonight: - Hitting Eaton 5th. - throwing Yermin under the bus in public. - letting Cano beat him. Bummer should have never been allowed to throw Cano a fastball/all sliders even if he walks him. Give Cano the Barry Bonds treatment. - Should have started the 9th with Hendricks, who practically never walks any one. Bummer went to 3 balls and had to lay a cookie. Why save Hendricks for the10th., when there was a chance of losing in the 9th.

Agree 150%. Bummer threw him a fast ball strike. He should have thrown only sliders. Don’t let Cano beat you.

I don’t understand why would Bummer throw a fast ball to Cano. Just throw sliders even if you walk him.

TLR should do this more often. Sox hit into many double plays as it is now. Sox hit many ground balls.

I am glad there were no men on base. Sox need to keep piling runs. They are now leaving runs on the table with poor execution.

Sox defense is the weakest part of the team. Sox are second to last in defense in the AL. You have to hold your breadth in many plays.

When are we getting Engel back? That would help a lot!

Vanover hurt the Sox with bad meaningful calls. He must have been getting tips and training from Angel Hernandez.

Thanks Hawkaroo.

When is AdamEngel coming back. We sure could use him.
