Groundball City so far tonight. Need to switch gears guys…

Why isn’t Sheets in the lineup against a righty? He is also a HR threat.

And Leury is not playing as much as with TLR at the helm.

And a lefty.

Only common denominator that I can’t think of is no TLR.

TLR was the leading punter in MLB.

And have JR sell to someone that will keep the team in town.

And a double steal. Never saw that with TLR the whole season.

Finally a bunt! They didnt repeat the no bunt unsuccessful 10 ths. Last night and earlier tonite! Finally learnt a lesson.

Story repeats itself from last night. We don’t bunt and not score. Detroit bunts.

And much cheaper.

Another terrible Hahn trade, this time for Cesar Gonzalez giving up a serviceable LH SP which we do need now with no Rodon.

Agree with you. Three hits tonight thru 8 against last place Detroit for example.

At the same time, we don’t take many walks.

Walks in the 8 th inning normally score on the Sox.

Yes, you have to throw home immediately. Walk by Graveman created this need. Hate reliever walks in the 8 th inning on a close game!

No doubt whatsoever.

Cairo gets an F in managing the 10 th. First he doesn’t bunt Josh against the tough Lang, and then doesn’t walk Reyes. Our lack of clutch hitting also hurt.

Cairo pulled a TLR stupid move by not bunting Josh.

Needed to bunt with Josh. He was not going to hit this guy.

But TLR is not managing today.

Fair enough. I was thinking in extras we may be seeing a righty pitcher.

I would not have pinched hit for Sheets regardless of the match up. He is a home run threat and we could have used his bat now and in possible extras. Keep Romy to pinch hit for Josh.

If Baez slides he is probably safe.

Dodged a big bullet with Baezout at the plate. Let’s get some runs. Can’t count on the Twinkies.
