Groundball City mode

Left our best relievers grabbing bench while pitching The Rookie Lambert, Ruiz, Foster instead in close games. No urgency. Same old same old the usual no patience, not working the count,not looking for your pitch to hit…

Fair enough. I would take any viable option over TLR.

I would take Hinch over TLR hands down.

TLR is like a cancer metastasizing throughout the team. He is killing the team energy, motivation, performance through his terrible performance and decisions. It is terminal unless the primary tumor is excised soon.

Maybe other owners would not want JR to sell. They prefer his incompetent team in place to assure Sox will not contend.

Hahn would not have a problem getting a job. He has a Harvard Law School degree.

ReyLo, Graveman and Hendriks were supposedly healthy today but no where to be seen, while Ruiz and Foster were sighted in the close game.

Then let’s not bring our mediocre relievers in tight games.

TLR doesn’t have the urgency to keep games close when we are a run behind. He hardly ever uses our top relievers when we are behind. Ruiz and Foster today allowed all 5 runs when we had ReyLo, Graveman and Hendriks grabbing some bullpen bench.

TLR is the MVP for both the Guardians and the Twins.

Menechino ball

ReyLo.

No clutch hitting. We needed a big hit with men in scoring position, but other than the Grandal homer. Zilch.

Sheets should have pinched hit for Sosa. Sevy is more dangerous than Sosa.

Guardians win in extras.

Grandal has been hitting the ball better these last few games.

Grandal homer showed TLR the importance to keep the game 1-0 and not bring Ruiz in when you have ReyLo and Graveman available. Another unforced error of not using your best resources in a critical game situation.

Total managerial incompetence.

WTF is he in this critical one run game late? This is on TLR again. What’s waste of another Cease masterpiece.

Lack of clutch hitting, lack of power and terrible bullpen management by TLR are the main culprits.

Unbelievable. Where is RayLo and Graveman? Ruiz has been terrible in high leverage situations. TLR is so bad is risible. No sign of urgency or desperation. Fire this geezer please. Why is Ruiz is still in the game?. Shades of Lambert yesterday.

Because he is half asleep all the time, and there is no accountability or consequences. This whole TLR debacle is a major unforced error by JR.

Robert not hustling on bobbled ground ball cost us big time. Stoney called him out as unacceptable. I agree. I would have like Sheets playing today against the righty instead of Vaughn. Sheets has been hitting the ball well lately. If you are hitting on this team,you need to play.

And mostly meaningless in importance.
