The answer is obvious fire TLR and bring him a non sense energetic quality manager that shakes up this team. But JR is not obvious or rational.

Following their leader TLR.

KW is like Miguel Cairo they are never seen. What does KW actually do?

His mind is not in the game, same as TA. It is a shame.they have no accountability with the comatose TLR in charge.

We need to get rid of TLR first. If we lose this series to the Tigers, TLR should have the decency of retiring or allow to be pushed out. He has lost this team and driven it to the ground. The team is an embarrassment today. How long can the Sox ownership/FO put up with this shit show, repeating mistakes over and over. We are now competing with the Tigers for third place instead of the Twins for first. As we cannot fire the whole team, let’s fire TLR now!

Leury should not have been in this game. His hitting has been awful, and his positioning at second was bad in the Tigers rally. How can we expect to get back in the race playing a utility scrub likeLeury practically everyday.

We could have had Joc Pederson for $6M.

We should have had other options ready with a lower ERA. We need a good lefty reliever that we lack for situations like this. Losing Bummer hurts.

And we could have had Joc Pederson, now named an All Star, for $6M, cheaper than Kelly. Thanks Hahn.

Katz and TLRshould know better. In this inning though we needed a good left handed reliever. Kelly and his 9.5 ERA is not cutting it Either. Another 2 out rally by an opponent.

Tony just did by leaving Lucas in too long again. TLR doubles down on this same mistake over and over leaving our starters too long.

Skrubel has also shown a good change up and our hitters have been too anxious and impatient as usual.

Abreu keeps swinging at balls out of the zone and getting himself out.

Like Hawk use to say the good change up is the toughest pitch to hit.

He has lost focus. His mind is elsewhere.

No excuse for jogging into second with 2 outs and then not even sliding. He should have been at second in the first place as he didn’t run to second when the pitcher threw the ball into right field. Must be thinking about the All Star game and losing focus.

Came back to haunt us along with the home run ball. Wow! This is why we needed to add runs when we had a chance. TA running and lack of hustle has sucked in this game big time.

Our baserunning has been terrible. Two bad base running plays by TA in the same inning. He is jogging to 2 nd and then did not even slide. Wow! Not an All Star play.

Right on. Although I would prefer Moncada and Harrison combo with Leury on the bench.

It is time to add some runs, and not leave to our bullpen to hold up a 2 run lead.

TLR runs this team with no sense of urgency. Like we have all the time in the world to get back in the division race. Resting sore legs for the playoff which may never come. Putting the cart before the horse. You see other contending teams playing their key players most every game. That is why they get paid big bucks for, not grabbing some bench.

Eloy was hitting behind him and has looked good in his return.

Homers are back with Robert’s first inning blast. Good way to start. Normally we win at home when we hit homers.

Our leading RBI guy Abreu let us down swinging at a ball over his head, all we needed was a base hit not or even a sac fly not a homer. Seems that for us to win at home we need to hit homers, which we are only doing sporadically.

Unfortunately, no homers tonight in the loss to the Tigers. At home, when we don’t hit any homers, we normally do not win.
