Tigers are winning because they have been more clutch with men in scoring position than the Sox.

Pls note that I said in this game. Lucas doesn’t have the good change up today.

Need to adjust. No more 2 strike change ups called in this game. Only fastball and sliders.

SoX have the highest ground ball rate in the majors. Need to try more hit and runs. Hit and runs also have the advantage of opening more holes in the infield for our ground balls to get through.

Not calling for a 2 strike change up to begin with. This pitch has been doing the most damage to Giolito.

Also Baddoo is very fast.

We sure could have used Yaz hitting cleanup. He has been our most clutch hitter lately.

That tells a lot about the rest of the starting lineup today which has a heavy Charlotte tilt. Combined with TLR obsession of prioritizing lefty’s vs righty’s.

Did a good job.

Glad to give the Twins a dose of their old medicine with our six homers tonight.

This is probably the best game of the year for the Sox outside of the no hitters. Bats came alive with lots of energy on the field. Winning big is lots of fun. Don’t stop now boys.

He is destroying the Mendoza line.

He is the sacrificial lamb tonight. He may have to go back to making shoes.

Yeah. Donaldson tried a right handed bat drop imitating Grandal earlier, and it did not look good.

Maybe they should change the name to Guaranteed Rain Field.

It’s great seeing all the fly balls including several big flys being hit tonight. That is what is needed at GRF. We can’t afford to continue getting out homered at GRF.

Not working the count as a lead off hitter and look for a better ball to hit or getting a walk.

Engel and Hamilton are also better than Goodwin. defensively

You are right. I must have had a technical glitch on my IPad, as they are under my name. Apologize for the inconvenience.

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.
