Would t even take a first pitch. Nobody is our team is willing to take a walk. No walks or homers = loss.

That is TLR ball. Let’s give up and lose tonight but we will win tomorrow with our rested bullpen.

This game should be 0-0. Cueto was screwed by Big Energy.

Sheetspoopsitout

Big Energy did not block second base a la Schoop. Also didn’t let the ball go deeper into the base. A game to forget for Josh.

Is he awake?

It should have been a hit and run and not a straight steal for Harrison. Maldonado has a strong arm. Big Energy slide was not good also.

I will call out Harry Caray for a “Let’s get some runs”.

This game should be at least 0-0. Big Energy has cost us big time.

Michael Corleone syndrome.

And TLR hits Sheets 8 th. Instead.

Sheets should have been hitting 5 th. instead of Grandal, and certainly not eighth. Our 5-9 are brutal tonight, with exception of Sheets ( perhaps).

Sox pitching has been good but we need to score more runs.

BTW what is happening with Robert . When is he expected back?

Why the heck are Grandal, Yoan and Harrison hitting ahead of Sheets who has been hot lately? Sheets hitting 8 th is another inexplicable TLR lineup decision.

Vaughn and Eloy swung at some of the worst pitches out of the zone of the season. This not playofftype performance.

Tigers hit 2 homers to take the lead, something that the Sox have not been doing.

Add one of the worst defensive infields playing tonight. Big Energy just cost us 2 runs.

Nobody except TLR.

Another indictment on TLR lack of leadership and bad performance.

Guardians win 1sT game with a 3 run homer late and are leading in the second game 3-1. The Tigers suck and on their way to a 9 game losing streak. Need to beat Astros tonight. The Guardians are the ones we need to catchup. Not worried about the Twins so much.

No Robert again.?

Zero on both counts.

If the Chicago White Sox would be an efficient business you had needed to fire TLR long time ago. He has cost us the season so far. I will outline below my counts on an indictment of TLR performance: - No sense of urgency. No energy. No motivation. No coaching. No accountability. - No adjustments. Doubling down on things that have not worked. - Bad lineups. Overusing of Leury Garcia. Too many Sunday lineups in a pennant race. - Over resting our best players. Not worrying enough about winning the game on hand, and saving our best resources for future games or the playoffs instead. - Aversion to pinch hitting. Not pinch hitting for our scrubs in game situations. Refusing to pinch hit with our best players on their “rest” days, -Leaving starting pitchers too long at times.. mismanaging the bullpen often. - Not using our best relievers in close games when we are down only 2 runs or less, and using our worse relievers and letting the games get away.. - Reluctant to intentionally walk the best opposition hitters such as Jose Ramirez in game situations. At the same time, calling for an intentional walk in the middle of a count and once with 2 strikes. I am probably missing something. My vote is guilty on all counts and sentence is removal or resignation.

I only agree with you if we are talking about a family controlled business. With a public corporation, it is harder to keep an incompetent key employee.
