Good outfield defensive replacement late, and pinch runner, and good clubhouse presence. Good to keep if we have the space available.

He should have brought Vaughn to the dish earlier for Collins against the lefty with the bases loaded and one out, and we may have won the game then. Burr should not have pitched the 8th, Bummer should have come in to face Polanco. Offense bails out TLR late again.

TLR has been awful this series. His management of the bullpen has been atrocious. Where was Bummer against Polanco? Burr in the 8 th ina one run game? Not pinch hitting for Collins against the lefty with the bases loaded. Not bringing in Hendricks in game situation in extras yesterday. Pitching Lopez and Foster in the second game. This is a Rentería like performance.

Agree. Collins should have been pinched hit for against the lefty.

Sometimes we forget that DK is a Cy Young award winner.

Funny thing is that Seby hit 20 homers at Charlotte in 2019. One hit wonder?

And before midnight.

Is this a joke?

I still say that I would bat Moncada cleanup ahead of Goodwin. He inspires more fear as a hitter and protect Abreu better.

Leury is a utility player that is not designed to be an everyday player.

89 mph fastballs in the zone particularly in the inner portion to lefties tend to go a long way.

Fair enough but I question him hitting cleanup.

Detroit is looking better than Cleveland lately.

I miss James McCann.

Katie Lou Samuelson and Coco Gauff just withdrew from the Olympics with breakthrough COVID infections. It is not only my friends. Just watch out, don’t get complacent. The virus is srill very much around.

Particularly in a game situation against a pitcher who was wild. And had walked the previous 2 batters. A walk would have loaded the bases.

I have got 3 friends that had the 2 Pfizer vaccines in February and they all got symptomatic COVID recently. I am back to wearing a mask indoors in groups. These breakthrough infections are worrisome.

Anderson also swung 3-0 in first game yesterday in a game situation against a pitcher that had walked 2 before him, and popped up. Anderson is in the game tonight.

And back to back! Why we keep going with Goodwin clean up? That doesn’t put any fear in any opponent and does not protect Abreu. Would rather go with Moncada.

Great. This the power surge that we needed to complement our starting pitching and take advantage of our homer friendly ball park.

Sheets bailed out TLR who made awful pitching decisions in the DH. Pitching Lopez and Foster in the second game after losing the first game. Not pitching Hendricks in the 8th of the first game, when we needed a strikeout and going with Crochet and Burr instead,probably because it was not a save opportunity in TLR mind. There is no save opportunity in extras when you are the home team. If you shutdown the opponent on the top of the inning in extras with the 2nd base rule, you normally win.

A return to the Sox would be likelier if Boras was not involved.

It is the main reason that the Sox have the best record in the AL.

Wow! One hit combined shut out against one of the best teams in the majors. A dominating pitching performance. Strong message sent to Astros and other top teams that Sox are indeed a top team to reckon with.

Major brain fart. Why isnt our 3rd coach telling him not to comeback to the base once Abreu is on the base.?
