Let’s start by sending the memo now to not let Salvador Perez beat us.

Don’t forget these are the Indians no matter the name change. Same old same old like the Major League Baseball movie with Charlie Sheen.

Agree. Francona was quoted at Peacock today that every game is like a playoff game now. Hope TLR was listening. We need that sense of urgency. Need to try to win a game at a time. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

And if they bring back TLR forget about selling more season tickets.

Blame it squarely on JR and TLR to begin with. Putting an out of touch 77 yr old has been in charge of a bunch of young talent was unconscionable.

Grandal was the DH because TLR is a bad manager. He is also the slowest runner in the majors. See CC Sabathia comments that TLR is out of touch and should not be managing the White Sox. Soxtalk is not the only one complaining about TLR.

OK. Thanks for clarification. My bad.

Dugouts have been cleared of equipment. Looks like no game will be played today. Probably not announced yet so the fans at the park keep spending at concession stands. They just announced the game will not be played today.

Looks like Francona feels he can pull a fast one on the clueless TLR.

The only time football games are stopped is for lightning.

It is not too bad. Only comment would be to hit Moncada second instead, he is faster and less prone to the DP than Vaughn who has not been hitting well lately and more able to execute a hit and run. Vaughn is too slow, DP prone, and clogs up the bases when he gets on.

Thank you CC for your comments about TLR. Many of us have known this for quite a while. It is good to get confirmation from a pro like you.

They also have Manning from the Guardians to provide the Guardians perspective.

The problem is that there was a rain storm in the morning and flooded part of the field.

What is the lineup?

No.

Probably download the Peacock app or call Comcast for more instructions.

It is on Peacock streaming. Fortunately for me I am on Xfinity cable /internet and Peacock is included as both of these services are part of NBC Comcast. I tuned into Peacock and the game is delayed with water on the field. Didn’t expect to see that the announcers were Benetti, Steve Stone and Manning of the Guardians. All dressed up in jacket and ties. Looked quite different than usual. The streaming picture quality is very good , much better than cable. They think the game will get in later today.

Civale has a very good curve ball that mostly falls low under the zone. Need to identify the pitch and try to lay off. Easier said than done.

However, there were no outs and Grandal is the slowest runner in the majors. It was a dumb and costly send. In hindsight, we should have pinched run for Grandal, it was the 7 th inning and a critical run. But I guess we would not have then a replacement if needed for Sevy..

Keep him as bench coach and retire the invisible Cairo. But keep Joe out of third base coaching box. This should be done immediately.

Sorry man, didn’t read your msg on time. I get agitated during these close games, and have an over active IPad. I use Soxtalk to vent my frustrations with this team. I have been a Sox fan since 1960 and I think this has been one of the most Frustrating seasons, unnecessarily starting with unforced errors of bringing back TLR, and Hahn doing nothing to improve the team.

We have opportunities to score seems like every game with men at 3rd and less than two outs or with the bases loaded, but we leave these runs on the table, and we then need perfect pitching to win.

Great. A no brainer. I am glad they are flying him in and not sending him in a Greyhound bus.

Time to bring him up and send Grandal to the IL.
