Now Tony's going to get mad. Come on man.

The ONLY way TLR is gone is if he does it himself. No one in this organization will touch him.

Kimbrel gets out of his bad inning with nothing if the defense is right.

This is a nice thread for me to poop in.

You make up talent deficit by playing the game the right way. You give it away by playing it the wrong way. There is nothing that Tony's leadership did this year to help that. There is nothing to be pointed at this season to say "Oh man the Sox got better at X" that you can point to Tony as the reason for. There is no doubt in my mind that somehow Jerry though that this Tony move was the move to be made in lieu of spending for real talent to finish this roster, and it blew up in his face like Wild E Coyote. The only real good news here is the LaRussa move failing puts the onus back on management to approve some real talent acquision this winter, because this teams management isn't nearly good enough to manage this team deep.

I wouldn't argue that you are wrong.

How you can watch this team and think that leadership isn't a problem is beyond me.

I can't say this enough, NOTHING changed from 2020 to 2021 in terms of what the Sox needed to fix to get deep in the post season. The baseball IQ didn't come up, the defense didn't get any better, and the pitching wasn't able to figure it out against the top of the league.

Man, no one has been effective today. No one. People talk about team wins, this is a team loss so far.

Luis Robert got pulled.

The dive by Abreu saved two runs. The perfect throw to first saved one run.

He needed a pitch other than the fastball there.

Yas also can not let one get by him.

I do not want Kopech coming in with the bases loaded.

That was strike 3.

lol, of course its Kopech

Pen ready to get going.

Where was that?

Altuve had the move to home ready perfectly.

Robert really needs to work on getting into throwing position on a fly ball.

Brantley read that one all of the way.

Wainwright sounds a lot like Pods in the voice.

He was too far in.

That was nasty.

Tim had no chance to pull that pitch. Needed his RF swing there.
