The announcers said that Grifol wanted to challenge the play but the first base ump said it was too late to challenge.

Another Anderson brain fart. I don’t think Andrus was expecting the flip.

Dodgers have taken 111 walks more than the Sox. One of the reasons most of our homers are solo.

Time to move him down in the lineup. ESPN announcer saidTA 65% ground ball rate.

Sox math. Nationwide is on your side.

Yes, he did.

With the bases empty.

Close. Grounded out to third on the second pitch. No intention whatsoever to go the other way, with a big hole between first and second. TA is really sucking this season.

And an excellent pinch runners with all our slow runners in the team.

As a bullpen coach maybe.

Crochet did a good job in the 6 th.

Lucas is an LA native should help on a possible trade to LA.

Nothing at all.

Moncada didn’t help, botching a double play ball.

He should be renamed “Big Gopher Ball Lynn”. He has given up 18 homers so far. Hard to win with his stuff now.

Pedro is just a sober version of TLR. Two zombies in the dugout.

And with the coaching.

Because Sheets is a lefty with some power.

Agree. Pedro also left Joe Kelly in too long yesterday. Was reading thatHeat coach Erik Spoelstra considered one of the best basketball head coaches, is known for having no qualms in taking players not performing out of rotation and out of games, and calling them out, and he is respected for this and a key to his success.

But this was a critical situation in the 9th. AndPedro should have been alert, because the buck stops with him. iMO.

Rick probably thought he was going to get an adequate manager on the cheap, rather than get a more expensive experienced manager like Joe Girardi. Bad.

Because Pedro is asleep and not a good manager. Too laid back.

Afraid to throw a strike to Soler in the 9 th. Was part of the problem.

Grifol is not the answer as manager. Too many bad or questionable decisions so far. Doesnt seem able to motivate or light a fire under this team. The team looks lifeless.

Worst game ending of the year. Bullpen collapse. Graveman left in too long today and Kelly left in too long yesterday. Seby catchers interference and walk to Soler did not help either.
