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.

Grandal swung at a ball. Seby catchers interference hurt.

Need a bat drop urgently.

Middleton.

You are right. Our coaching is not existing.

Soler walk was the leating run. Gopher ball to Soler hurt big time.

Should not let Soler hurt us, he hits lots of homers.

Tells on weak Sox lineup when Benintendi is one of the most feared hitters.

Took the Golden Sombrero off Burger’s head.

Finally a lead off hitter who takes a walk.

Graveman should be available today.

Thanks to the Marlins manager for taking Garrett out.

Maybe not swing until a first strike is thrown, particularly against breaking ball pitchers. Most of the sliders that they are swinging at and missing are out of the zone anyway.

Beats me. I think it was a big blunder. Good for the Sox though, got Arraez out of the Central.

Reduce payroll.

None of them can hit a slider. Most do not take pitches or work the counts, and end up swinging at pitches they can not hit. A crappy soft tossing lefty like Garrett can dominate them. Give more take signs…

Super Sunday line up, reminds me of the TLR era.
