We cant compete with the elite teams with our current lineup.

Collins was over matched today and so was Mendick. I would have liked Leury in this game. He has been one of our better hitters lately. I would have left Heuer pitch the 9th. He was looking good with few pitches in the 8 th.

He did. We lose.

Hawkaroo would be having a feast with all those “Kansas City specials”!

Either Engel or Hamilton had a better chance.

100% in agreement. It is inexplicable thatEngel was not playing today against a lefty, with his superior defense as well. Particularly on the rubber game with the #1 team in baseball.

He has the Alex De Bríncat smile on.

This post went past its expiration date. Leury is doing very well lately. Good swings and good infield defense, plus value as switch hitter. Leave him on team.

Why isn’t Engel playing against a lefty?

Sox have the best five starting pitchers in MLB. Hands down.

Agree. Jose have been awful offensively lately. Hitting coach should tell him to. Take some sliders until he gets untracked.

Eloy seems to be pretty reckless at LF running into the wall often.

It’s just his handicap. He is giving the Rays a stroke, and upsetting Sox fans with the dreaded leadoff walk with a 3 run lead in the process.

Yoan already had a bad case of COVID last year.

What happened with Moncada?

Hope Sox strength and conditioning program gets a thorough review. Stretching routines before games reviewed and modified as needed.

Leury has been hitting the ball better lately. He has value as switch hitter and flexible positions. With Madrigal out we need him even more. Keep the guy.

Bummer can be a bummer often.

I presume you mean that Jason is the new Chris Berman. He cannot be Berman’s grandson, he was born in 1983!

Ump wanted to go back to his hotel. Too wet and too long of a game.

He was a football star as well.

And Lynn is the strongest of them all...

Should have let Lynn pitch the8th and get the game to Hendriks.

He had to be helped off the field and could not put any weight on his leg. That looked much more serious than “soreness”.

Yes indeed. Bad defense with 4 errors and Bummer being a Bummer did us in tonight. Too bad about Madrigal. Hope the Sox have a good conditioning/stretching program in place. Too many injuries.
