Honestly last night broke me with Renteria. Asleep at the wheel once again with a pitcher the third time through that was clearly walking a tight rope all night, with or without horrific defense. There's no way this team can go to the top with such a laid back, lets things happen, manager like Renteria. He has already failed to realize the handedness of the opposing starter twice. That alone is enough to let him go, but he keeps digging the hole deeper. I'll add this even tho it's probably going to be controversial: the laid back attitude permeated down to Eloy doing what he did last night. There's such a thing as playing loose and free and having fun and playing sloppy and careless. Eloy is a bad defender but there's no excuse to not get up immediately there and go get the fucking ball. That tumble he took I'm more than half convinced he thought it would be fun or cool. Even if he needed to tumble into the netting in order to prevent an injury, GET UP. He laid there for a couple split seconds like he thought Robert was going to run all the way over and bail him out.

I'm still pissed off at eloy.

I don't think that's hyperbole. The Sox are on the clock here with the roster and making some hard decisions.

can he play it any worse, I mean, lol, can he? Honestly Eloy to 1B makes alot of sense.

Eloy needs a time out and I mean that in the best way possible. Like, this isn't a funhouse. If you can't make a routine play, don't fucking turn it into a HR. And if he's really this bad the Sox are kidding themselves thinking he's anything but a DH. This is a fun, growing team but Eloy had a lazy mistake out there imo and I'd call any player out for it at the MLB level. Or, if he really is that incapable of stopping and not doing a trapeze act, why is he in the field?

renteria doesn't have these guys ready to play.

honestly that's the least athletic play I've ever seen at the big league level. Palka is more athletic than that.

changed the entire game.

i'm honestly so pissed I'm about to just turn it off, that's the worst play I've seen watching the sox maybe in 20 years.

it infuriates me personally that's bullshit. that can't happen.

what? get the fuck up and get to the ball.

that is the worst play I've ever seen in LF.

dude what is he doing?

that's fucking embarassing.

lol, wtf was that Jose?

yea I agree it happens so often when a sluggish 1B is holding a man on.

man.

unlucky.

his splitter does look like a circle change.

as I said 2nd time through they will hit this guy.

nice gio.

garcia and robert making incredible plays man this team is exciting I will say that.

WOW GARCIA!

jason..doesn't know a lot about baseball.

god damnit missed the 3-1 pitch to hit.
