They hit more homers last year. Homers are key to winning at home and not giving away our homer friendly home advantage to the opposition.

Or at least change it to the Tribe.

Is Miguel Cairo still alive? He is like a ghost.

His D today has been his worse of the season.

This game proved once again that when we hit homers particularly at GRF we normally win. BTW maybe the stadium name should be changed to GHRF, guaranteed high rate field, in view of higher mortgage interest rates nowadays.

Cal Ripken Jr would not have approved of TLR ball either.

Isn’t Stoney from Cleveland? Maybe he has some contacts within the Guardians. BTW, I hate that moniker Guardians, Indians sounded much better but succumbed to the PC crowd, which now has its sights on theBlackhawks as well.

Isn’t this one reason why the best players get paid the big bucks? Certainly, not to grab some bench often.

TLR ball. Save some legs for the playoffs that may not come. Putting the cart before the horse.

Must be one of his unwritten rules.

It’s Sunday. All Sunday lineups need to include Leury to qualify.

We could have had Joc Pederson and his LH big homer bat for $6M like the Giants did, but we end up with Pollock instead and no LH outfielder. We also didn’t sign Rodon our only left handed starter and gave big money to Lynn another aging RH pitcher.

TLR thinks he is too smart to just go with no brainers. He’ll find a reason to screw it up,

“I don’t often win games but when I do I had a few XX”. The most interesting bad manager in the world.

Particularly with the possibility of extra innings without Eloy, Grandal and with Leury and Engel in.

Foster and Ruiz are unsuitable for high stress situations.

TLR is like a college professor with tenure. He does whatever he wants without worrying about getting fired, as JR has giving him tenure.

It would help if TLR calls in sick tomorrow.

Sox win despite TLR.

You are right. He got his second tonight despite the dreaded lead off walk.

And bad manager.

Foster has one career save. We need more of our key relievers be able to throw more than one inning in critical situations. Foster should not have been there in the9 thin such an important game. We dodged a high caliber bullet.

Pollock saved the Sox and TLR’s ass. We have a hard time in these close games because we need to overcome all of TLR bad decisions and have to have plenty of luck on our side to win. That Kwan line drive to 2 nd was a bullet that Big Energy could rein in.

TLR makes no sense. He thinks he knows more than anybody and he is an obsolete has been.

Dreaded lead off walk. Best option would have been to leave Kelly on fora second inning. He is used to high stress situations. Foster has one career save.
