Too bad he was not hitting 9 th today. Three ground ball outs including a very costly double play. Swinging at everything. I am afraid we will need a home run from one of our top guys. Hard to win station to station without slow runners and getting to rally killers Harrison andEngel.

Right. You would also help Harrison from himself. He has been too impatient and swinging at everything. Put more pressure on the pitcher if you take a first pitch and is a ball.

We were doing well not swinging at the curve ball. Grandal takes a four pitch walk loading the bases, and Big Energy comes up next and swings at the first pitch and hit into a double play. I would have given Harrison the take sign on the first pitch. But we never give a take sign. Must be a TLR unwritten rule.

Would help if we could hit one out of the park somehow.

He ended up costing us a run along with the dreaded lead off walk. Our D is bad again tonight.

You will have to compete with Yoan as well. I am sure he is in play on this as well.

Cueto broke one of TLR’s unwritten rules, but he is a respected veteran and more valuable than Yermin and won’t be thrown under the bus.

Yoan is unfocused and thinking about his music videos and the chicks with no one on, with men on he is thinking about baseball in Cuba and his glory days.

And without Anderson and Robert and with awful defense. Strong pitching and some clutch hitting is carrying us through.

We have the pitching to compete in the playoffs. We need everybody back healthy and scoring runs.

Kopech is a good pitching match up.

“I don’t often win games, but when I do I drink a few XX beers” - TLR the least interesting man in the world.

Would have preferred Vaughn as DH instead. He should not be playing RF again. Last night he showed that he cannot handle this position. He was terrible in D and almost cost us the game.

If that injury happened to Abreu instead, he would have been back already.

About time TLR got out of his stupor and shook up that tree.

Who is better than Jose nowadays to hit cleanup?

TLR was probably hoping that Leury could heal quickly. TLR is probably the main reason this happened by overusing a utility player like he was a regular.

Our IL management this season has been terrible. Moncada and the pitching have bailed us out in the two Houston games.

He will probably now get a shoe contract and more hits in YouTube.

He will Now incorporate video of his two game winning hits into his music videos in YouTube.

They are missing Carlos Correa which was a big cog last year.

We are better now without Keuchel. Our pitching has been solid lately and is what has been carrying the team. Our D, base running, offense and manager still pretty much sucks, but maybe it’s turning the corner hopefully.

Let’s worry about getting in the playoffs first.

Yesterday on FS1, Dontrelle Willis and Karros, picked the Sox to win the Division, with the strong pitching and expectations of improved offense from the likes of Moncada. It’s looking good for their predictions.

I suspect nobody. They bailed out the Sox and particularly TLR who would have been roasted if they would have failed.
