Unfortunately Ricky was fired to accommodate JR/TLR bromance.

Don’t forget about Burger the Golden Sombrero plus man.

18 carat sombrero.

Left 5 on the last 3 innings.

Feel more comfortable with Kelly closing nowadays.

Golden Sombrero plus one. Not seen often.

That is not the current Sox way of not working counts or taking walks.

No. Golden Sombrero is 4 strike outs,

Sox reverted to form. Three Ks in a row starting with men at 2 nd and 3rd with no outs. Everybody swinging for the fences when we just needed to make contact. Par for the course.

No contact whatsoever. Should not be leading off.

I am glad that Frazier worked the count and took a walk. It shows that he is not been with the Sox too long. It was an atypical Sox at bat.

Francona leaving Allen in so long was not wise.

It is tough to watch the “track meet” of Vaughn and Grandal running in the same inning.

Only when the opposing infielder falls on the ground like in this instance.

At the same time the Sox hardly ever work counts and take walks, including lead off walks. Are letting opposing pitchers go deep.

Forgot to not let Ramirez AND NAYLOR to beat us.

Pedro is not a good manager. Rentería has been our best manager in the last 10 years and we let him go. Ventura, TLR and Grifol have been major disappointments.

The offense went dead against Minor leaguer Giddis. Did not work any counts either.

Over managing does not work all the time. Santos is not one of our better relievers.

We don’t work counts. Swing at too many pitches out of the zone.

Naylor is out.

Is Hahn working on getting the Sox some lefty starting pitchers into the system?

As you can read in this thread ,we don’t have many better options available than Clevinger. So it is a loss.

The Central sure sucks. Sox have a chance.

Got to make sure that Jose Ramirez does not beat us.
