The tumor took too long to be removed and some metastasis occurred. A shame.

Cairo lost me with that move, a big unforced error to bring a rookie to protect a 3-1 lead-in the 7th.of the most important game of the year. This game closed the curtains on the Sox season. I was in favor of retaining Cairo before this game, but not anymore after the 7 losses that followed. Send Cairo back to Egypt for all I care.

Best news of the month so far. Wish him well in his retirement in Arizona or Tampa, away from the Southside.

Another embarrassing loss. A 2 hit shutout of the Sox with 14Ks. Someone needs to be held accountable. Is there no professional pride and character in this team?

Pollock is 35, so career slashes are unlikely to be repeated in his mid to late thirties. We need to cut back on overpriced older veterans on their way down.

TLR was Cleveland’s MVP in my book.

TLR was the wrong manager for this team. He didn’t make anyone accountable, was low energy, and a bad field manager. Needed a younger, modern, hard ass manager that was a better on field manager and motivator and not afraid to kick some ass.

Sox is being run by three lawyers: JR, Hahn and TLR.maybe we need real modern baseball people to run the team, and these guys retire or move to practice law.

And one of the slowest base runners in the majors.

They are a bunch of losers laughing all the way to the bank. Hahn overpaid a lot of them.

They could have had Joc Pederson for $7M one year, less than some of our relievers.

Some heads have to roll. This sweep by the awful Tigers put the final nail on some people’s coffins. Need accountability.

8th inning has been brutal this season for our relievers.

It was shameful how the Sox let Baez embarrass them in this series. The memo was not circulated that we should not throw anything close to a strike to Baez even if it hits him. In agreement to pitch him “inside, way inside” tomorrow.

Kelly is better than Diekman but that is not much to tell, they both have sucked.

Bringing in the awful Diekman to pitch the 7 th in a close game, shows that the Sox have mailed it in, and don’t care to win or not.

Dodgers announced tonight that Kimbrel has been demoted from the closer role. Another great Hahn talent evaluation that doesn’t pan out albeit in another team.

The Whole Sox team has mailed it in. Can’t even beat the awful Tigers at home. We suck and it is a major embarrassment to the team and the fans. Some heads have to roll. The decision to bring in the rookie Lambert to protect a 3-1 lead in the 7 th against the Guardians, having ReyLo available turned out to be the worst decision of the year, and shut the door on the Sox season. Even Cairo admitted it was a mistake. Too many. Unforced errors this season.

Looks like Lambert is not the answer. Comes in the 8 th and promptly gives the dreaded lead off walk who eventually scores, like he did in the Cleveland series..

Once again, we get hurt by a breaking pitch to the rookie agreene after being blown byvReyLo fastballs before. Seems like most critical hits on Sox pitchers have been on breaking pitches, mostly hangers. If our pitchers have the good heat, don’t screw around with breaking pitches in game situations.

And how slow our runners are. Almost impossible to get an infield hit, avoid a double play, go from 1st to 3 rd on a base hit, getting to catchable balls in the outfield, executing a hit and run, etc. and comparing to the Guardians we are a bad joke.

We keep throwing strikes to Baez. Throw everything to him in the dirt or way outside or face high. He doesn’t like to take walks. Sox don’t adjust.

Middle of the pack.

A combination of both.

No surprise there. Opposing pitchers going deep as Sox are swinging at everything. Sox need homers or several hits to score runs with no walks and very slow running hitters. Not a formula for success.
