Believed relief pitching and TLR would make a difference. Left handed hitters aren't as important if you get good RH hitters bland blah blah blah from Hahn Hahn Hahn. The truth is starting pitching and starting LH hitters cost more.

Arrogant bastages. Plus they gave up at the trade deadline to do anything about it too. Plus the previous trade deadline where we got the Kimbrel disease that will last through next season because of Pollock and the mighty Cesar Hernandez.

I agreed . I've been posting Free Colas for a while now when Robert got hurt and before that hoping he'd be here Sept. 1st to be eligible for the playoffs and if not then by Sept.15th before some of the big series started.

Wow what do u know ?!?

Wasn't it at the start of the 2021 season that the bold prediction were a lot of Moncada MVP posts ?

Well this is a spot where Cleveland has been showing they know how to win games.

Stun us AE .

3 batter rule . Couldn't be pulled after the 1st walk.

Rally Moncada por favor

He looked safe

Might need Moncada here

Probably going to see Bummer and maybe even Diekman to face Cleveland lefties a decent amount in this series.

You'd think if Roberts hand hurts he'd look at more pitches and focus on something in his happy zone where ever that is .

Let's go boys

Let's go boys !

Let's go boys, early and often !

You only commented on his hitting which I agree with. Remember I've led the charge for "Free Colas" so who do you think Colas would replace ? That's right Sheets! So although I thought at the beginning of the year he should get a fair shot , he did, and he's not the answer and never was the answer in the OF .I wanted him to get mostly DH and some 1st base AB's. I don't fall in love with players. I just want them all to do well.

Still can do that and lose the games if you don't hit a lick but records are always real good when you are the first to score and hit multiple HR's.

In a game thread ?? ???

He came through in the 2005 final game of the ALCS in Anaheim too. The pennant clincher I was at.

Time for a Rally Moncada. Couldn't hurt . He needs to find IT !

It was always predetermined when Sheets hit a road HR followed by LH Grandal and Moncada HR's . In before you last week. Put money on the Sox taking the division ! Disclosure: No way in hell I'd do that but should get good odds .

Very tall order . Doubt many staffs have had 3 consecutive games like that all year. My advice? Get an early lead and hit HR's.

I'm glad you're impartial in your assessment because many aren't. He's getting a little old to think he could be better than what he is now but if he could hit on the road like he has at home everyone would love his bat. But somehow in some way the same person can be a stud in one venue and a dude in anything other than his home field. I know splits can often be slanted at home for many players but the difference between his home and road splits are mind boggling.

Almost the same as his stats post ASB. Like most MLB players with some amount of talent after a bad 1st half they do better in the 2nd half when healthy. More than likely has nothing to do with TLR if you're intent was to show causation. Can't say the same thing about the whole team since the results speak for themselves but we knew long before Cairo took over TLR was a terrible choice from the start. But I'm not convinced he won't be back Hopefully JR can figure this out on his own, but if Hahn is fired instead ,JR may just bring in a yes man GM who'll agree to keep TLR as manager next year. Splits aren't good in season any way for defense. They always need time to get a true sample. You'd think you would know that by now. I was screaming bloody murder about Vaughn's ability to play the OF last year and you were one of those who kept insisting he was fine in LF. I was was yelling he's too damn slow and is going to get slower. Just like the many who insisted the Sox know best about Rodon's health when not extending the QO. Now that he's been healthy the whole year I truly hope that thread or multiple threads about it gets pulled up for off season entertainment.
