I’m hoping they all got a great night’s sleep and wake up refreshed, healthy, and ready to have a great day. As 99.99% of Soxtalk posters do everyday. ?

Woke up at 5 am to put a brisket on my smoker. I was totally unprepared. I’m short post oak, didn’t have coarse ground pepper, didn’t run my temp probe through the gasket before firing up the heat, didn’t pay attention to my vents before going back to bed, didn’t trim the brisket, ugh. It will be a miracle if it turns out OK.

Good point

Probably closer to 50% ?

And Tony gives up.

I’d be on the Kennedy heading north by now

Perfect. Right where you want Nick

Tony was cold and wanted to take a walk

That was a great pitch

Lol

For the love of winning someone ask him if he’s gassed before he goes out in the 7 th

I'm kind of new here

Rookie

He was clearly fooled.

Thank you!

There were some wicked pitches in that inning.

That's crazy. I'd be upset.

Let's get some runs early.

I'm an old man with a bad heart, let's not have to many more of those.

At my pharmacy today and they are practically begging people to get vaccinated. No waiting. No cost!

My only negative is he didn’t realize Gio was gassed the other night or realized it and didn’t say anything to Tony. He’s got basically one player to watch at that point.

I think there is some blame all the way around. There is a player and a pitching coach that are keeping information away from the manager who then shoulders all the blame? We can spin it a dozen different ways but clearly doing what is best for the team isn't in their thinking. I can't see how that wins a championship. Now the manager has to be a walking lie detector. Obviously this team isn't pulling together and that truly does start at the top. Tony is doing something wrong but making a bad decision because critical information was being withheld might not be one of them.

And should that be encouraged? Who was Gio helping by hiding he was gassed? His teammates? The coaching staff? Himself?
