Homers rule in this series. Need strong pitching to minimize homers. Not with Lynn though. Sox normally have an advantage over the Twins in pitching and the Twins have an advantage in power/ homers. Lynn is now our 5 th starter not good enough to rein in the Twins.
Couldn’t Robert be further examined today.? You have the Mayo Clinic in Minny. Appears problem with Robert is more in the outfield. He has been hitting well.
I don’t think so. TLR has not done any benching for dogging it or lack of hustle this season, so it would be uncharacteristic. Are there any meds for lightheadedness?
Leury should not be a starter in any more games. He is a utility player to come off the bench as needed. If he does start he needs to hit 9th behind Big Energy. Never hit 7th, when there is a better chance of having RISP. TLR just keeps doubling down on Leury.
Twice Leury comes up to the plate with RISP and twice he failed. Why isn’t Big Energy hitting ahead of Leury? He has been hotter. Sox find it hard to win games with Leuryin the lineup.
Sox back to its old tricks after a promising start to the game.
- Robert misplaying ball in CF.
- Anderson bad throw to first opening the flood gates to two runs.
- Anderson swinging at balls and pulling the ball on the ground with RISP. Not even looking at going the other way.
- Moncada taking a 3rd strike with a man at third.
- Robert out with lightheadedness?
It is hard to catch the Twins with so many handicaps.
