Z.Collins back to the minors at least. Having big time problem cheering for Roger Clemens' son against Twins. Ethical dilemma there.

How they have hung around so close to .500 in that division is a huge mystery.

Just as planned. Vaughn the second leadoff hitter.

Miami has the best US reggaeton scene...much closer to Cuba. Can join Avi as partner in crime. Twins still holding a 2-1 lead late in DET.

Cueto is 5'11, 224. Stout. Three inches inside on that "strike."

The Blue Jays as a team have only lost one Manoah start. And that was their big opportunity to score early...yet again...but TLR lineup invariably works against Sox.

Grandal .148 average against FBs fifth lowest in baseball. Of course aced with slider. Struggles with bases loaded continue.

Uh oh bases loaded for Grandal. What could go wrong? Always have the wrong hitter up except Abreu last night. Borderline call.

We are not a great slider hitting team. Stating the obvious. Now Mr. 6/37.

I miss the patient Moncada. Seems like they're just going through the motions swinging at everything. There's just no conscious thought process about moving runners over.

TLR brilliance. Oh by the way, Manoah has never lost in his young career at home. 7-0. Two runners on but could just as easily be 1-0 with a runner on 2nd.

Kind of like going from 1983 to 85-86 and how far that set the franchise back in all aspects...at least until hitting on a string of draft picks.

He should have to pass Wordle and Worldle or lose lineup "design" privileges each day.

Bring in a PTSD expert to counsel him. Better than half the fanbase needing clinical treatment. Pretty soon we will have these goofy fan lawsuits about the quality of the product on the field being deceptive/misleading marketing.

Plus proximity to all the minor league affiliates creates a built-in fanbase. That said you do get cramped by Wash and Balt to the north. Nashville you have Reds and Braves and old Cardinals network of radio affiliates going back generations.

I would still rather have Ventura pre clubhouse falling apart than TLR. That said if 2015-16 completely collapsed no Shields trade and things might have been better than where the Sox find themselves standing now. We can't even succeed at failing well.

Vaughn and Moncada have 5 of the 6 hits against Manoah. Why you would actually want to Leury to get an extra at bat late in the game instead inexplicable.

At least you had second year Abreu. But then LaRoche Cabrera Shark underachieving. Back then, we still had pretty big hopes for Avisail Garcia.

They're trying to limit his plate appearances due to the incentive target numbers for next year lol.

This is like the F/14 Tomcat against a 5th Generation fighter. And instead of Maverick, we have TLR as the pilot. Start drinking for courage.

I would honestly rather have Paddy and Hector Gomez. Then we would have Machado at least.

Moncada 3/6 Vaughn 2/5 only hitters with multiple hits against Manoah. Harrison 1/2. Everyone else 0/10.

It's all this idiotic LHB vs RHP. Weren't we worst in majors over a century in that stat recently?

Over Pollock? Engel. Mendick. Burger.

He's much worse than Harrison. Probably better than Burger. I think he had one two hit game with a homer since signing but recently a Moncada like slide with numerous blown opportunities to tie up or take leads with RISP.
