Burger missed two good pitches to hit

Bad luck there, but I like the at-bats they're having so far (besides Leury).

I guess Reese got hit there?

He knows all this. He's an idiot but not that much of an idiot. No idea what he's been doing for most of this year.

Good inning with 2 outs so far. Driving up that pitch count and runners on.

LaRussa isn't going to take any blame for this. Hahn will. LaRussa is here until he decides he wants to leave.

Everything is imploding now.

Figure out ways to not lose 5 run and 3 run leads in the last 4 innings of the game with a supposed ace on the mound and supposed lockdown bullpen.

Maybe this is why Foster wasn't in earlier...

Now they have to use their good bullpen pitchers anyways. Good job LaRussa. Better hope this is over in 10 or 11.

If they're not available then pitching is gonna be in a rough spot for extras.

Robert looks so bad sometimes.

Not using the good part of the bullpen is 100% on LaRussa, but Giolito let them back into this game. It's 7-3 Sox if he doesn't shit the bed in the 5th.

Vaughn way too antsy there

It's ok, once Sousa goes down to AAA Tony can't use him anymore.

Garcia just hammers the ball. Got to get him out up.

After how that inning started I'll take only giving up 1.

Foster-Bummer-Graveman should be your 6/7/8th inning guys.

This strike zone is so inconsistent man. Pollock needs to defend the plate there but sheesh.

This is like two completely different teams RHP vs LHP

Can't hit, just steal every base.

It's a shame when your pitchers can't make one mistake without losing the lead.

Why does this team make such shitty contact constantly?

Seems like that's what happens down there. Mendick has been hitting since he came back, Burger as well. Moncada was torching the ball in AAA and for the first week he was back. Seems like the best hitting instruction is in the minors.

Tony really did Muncy a favor. Hes probably going to get hot now.
