What the hell is a “strained right flexor pronator”? Do this press people think their fans are orthopedic surgeons or what? Wish they use lay term explanations! Glad to see Engel back.

I don’t know, but what I know is that we need an updated and upgraded strength and conditioning program.

That’s TLR for you. Bullpen mismanagement again.

We are getting killed by the opposition home runs. Our park is a liability with our current punchless team.

Lack of consistent contact. Too many strike outs and double plays as well.

Glad that Collins made TLR eat some crow for not pinch hit him in the first game against the righty.

Agree. Result is one run no hits.

Why didn’t they leave Burr in for another inning?

In hindsight he was right. He had a relatively low pitch count. TLR is losing the clubhouse with all his bad decisions and old fashioned formulaic ways.

Only 4 proven major leaguers in this lineup.

Collins had a better chance than Mercedes against the righty reliever.

We can “evaluate” him on a game by game basis on the game threads at a minimum.

Another TLR bad inexplicable decision.

And with wind blowing out n RF. Any well hit Collins fly ball had a chance to win the game. TLR is asleep on the wheel again.

Is Collins that much faster than Grandal in the first place? We could have used Grandal in extras if that was the case.

Collins is not that much faster than Grandal. Need to have had Colins pinch hit for Yermin as we needed a lefty bat against the righty reliever. This game came down to Hendricks going to the slider instead of blowing Tramell away with an outside fastball. Got out homered again by the Mariners.

At least he is making contact unlike Lamb who has been awful. Hitters are not adjusting on 2 strike counts and still swinging for the fences when we need contact. Learn from Madrigal and Rizzo as examples.

Lamb needs to grab some bench. Not a disciplined hitter in a contact situation.

Lamb sucks. Leaving many on base striking out with balls out of the zone. Time to try someone else. Not a professional hitter. Not making any contact in contact situations is unacceptable.

The question now is are they using Glad, Hefty or a store brand?

Need to get the ball up in the air in our home run friendly park with wind blowing out. See the Mariners two homers with not terribly well hit fly balls.

And Bennetti saying the authenticator is hermetically sealing the evidence. With a garbage bag! This is the Keystone Cops at work.

I think the wind is blowing out, which hurts the Sox who are not hitting many fly balls.

Hope is to the Sox. How much would the Sox got to give to get him?

Add two more innings to that count. Abreu just took a 3 rd strike. He is in a big funk.
