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.

We have the worst outfield in MLB.

Another hanger to Baez. Why throw Baez a strike? Once again, I have pleaded several times tonight to not let Baez beat us. He has single, double, trip,e, stolen base. We are such a stupid team.

Stoney affirming that the Sox are much more aggressive now on the bases and with running game than earlier in the year. I take this as a dig on TLR.

Finally Jose comes through in the clutch. Wow! Andrus contributing big time as well.

Our pitchers have been hurt often lately with hanging breaking pitches. Agree that we need to be more selective in calling for breaking pitches in key situations.

Sheets failed to move the runner to third and that cost us a run.

Gordon opened the floodgates with a throwing error. Rosario hits a two run single off Jax on a 0-2 count. Twins suck.

We don’t take walks or work counts.

KC is best example.
