One of the worst lineups of the season. Harrison batting 5 th and Payton 6 th is a bad joke. This is a AAA + lineup. No swan song for Abreu, Grandal, Eloy and Leury no where to be seen with his high salary. I guess Cairo know s he is a goner and doesn’t care if the Sox finish at just .500.

Looks like Cairo was not as fond of Leury as TLR. I don’t think our record would have better with Leury in the lineup.

By the way shouldn’t the arrow on the G-rate logo be changed to up rather than down?

Andrus is a very good base runner as well, and has been a good lead off hitter.

Diekman another terrible Hahn trade, particularly withBummer coming back. We could have used McGuire.

Hahn’s original sin was the bad Kimbrel trade that led to the bad Pollock trade. Madrigal was not expensive, and we already had a closer.

I guess some guys realized that they need to impress and keep their jobs. Too late though.

TLR should have retired before the season with his drinking and heart issues combined with his advanced age. It was irresponsible of him and the FO and JR to have allowed this disaster to happen.

Sox are consistently mediocre.

What is the point of Payton? He has looked bad at the plate and in the outfield. Is he considered better than Helseley?

Is there a financial reward for finishing second?

I believe Cueto is our starter that has gone deeper into games. Magic pixie dust is still there.

Agree. Also I hope they don’t bring back Sox Math. It is very tedious.

Cairo bringing in Jimmy Lambert in the 7 th to protect a 3-1 lead against the Guardians having ReyLo available, cost Cairo the job.

Looks like they are looking for the anti TLR.

That was not a criteria for the TLR hire. Glad they finally learnt something.

The new Jeff Bezos coming up.

Sheets has improved more than Vaughn and helps that he is a lefty. Vaughn has not looked good defensively even at first base.

Disappointment that TLR did not resign before the season with pacemaker issue and another undisclosed heart problem, plus the DUI at age 78. It was irresponsible from TLR and the FO.

Because the Sox were out homered at home. Didn’t take advantage of homer friendly GRF. Had too many power outages at home.

Too bad it is one year too late, but we will still happily take it.

With Leury serving them drinks.

Particularly combined with not signing a good LH outfielder.

Looks like they think they are on South Beach instead of SoCal. On the broadcast one of the announcers said it was the Don Johnson look , presumably Miami Vice look.

Beats me. He looked terrible at the plate tonight.
