Is Cairo alive? He sure not advising TLR right or TLR is not listening to him. He has been worthless IMO.

Just for the level of energy and aggressiveness, and knowledge as a former MLB catcher he is the Anti-LaRussa. , which is what we need.

Wow, what a surprise. I have been noticing Abreu pressing with RISP. Much more impatient and less selective.

I don’t think so. He hasn’t been fired because JR is in denial and doesn’t want to admit the TLR hiring was a mistake, and TLR is his HOF buddy. One dinosaur covering for another.

Apparently it worked as Guardians win 3-1 over SD.

You are right. Abreu swinging at a high fastball over his head tostrike out with the bases loaded and one out killed any chances to come back. That ball was unhittable, might as well take it. Our hitters have been undisciplined and impatient with men on.

Cease defeated by one bad pitch. But we have no margin for any error with our putrid offense with lack of power and poor clutch hitting.

It is at masochism level.

Seby’s also.

Maybe it estimates how long the ball would go if the high wall is not there?

True, but Abreu swung at a ball over his head, which was unhittable, so might as well take the pitch on 3-2 with the bases loaded.

The Central sucks.

Of course,but we are not hitting homers to clear the bases…

He did not. Swung at ball 4 above his head with the bases loaded. Wow, He left many on base tonight.

We need Abreu to deliver right now.

This has been the story all season, we screw around all game cannot get any runs against mediocre pitchers and get a couple runs behind late and then need to face the best closers.

Ha Ha. The high deep wall just took away the second homer of the game. Both doubles by Robert and Seby would have been a homer in any other park…

Well he may have as well left Diekmann in to pitch to Mateo with two lefties coming next, instead of bringing in Lambert to throw a high hanging slider cookie and the run scores any way.

The Orioles have more speed and aggressive running game as well, the complete opposite of the Sox.

Lots of singles but no clutch hitting and lack of power.

Lack of hustle running out of the box cost us a possible triple and a run. Compounded by Eloy not moving Robert to third. Sox offense has been putrid and cannot afford any mistakes such as this running play, theCease hanging slider for 3 run homer, leadoff walks, have all hurt the Sox in this game. We are sucking big time.

Two of the four runs were walks. Three runs came on a 3 run homer Earl Weaver style. 3 run homer are not part of the Sox repertoire and is hard for us to comeback in games.

Have 7 LOB in 5 innings. No clutch hitting. Our hitters lately have been much worse with men on. Too impatient swinging at pitchers pitches and not working the count to look for a better pitch to hit.

You are right. This stadium fits the Sox better than GRF where our opponents out homer us often.

The ghost of Eric Weaver came back to jink us with the quintessential 3 run homer.
