Sox hitters have problems with his arm angle.

Graveman for the 7th? Who gets the 8th? Lambert?

Announcers who are just out of the league and played with some of the guys in the games they're broadcasting tend to talk positively about said players. Chris Young did the same thing talking about his ex Boston teammates during the Apple TV broadcasts.

Holy shit look at these hits with RISP

Back in 2020 they were almost a weekly occurrence. He and McCann would both get called for it.

Yaz is back to his catcher's interference bullshit again?

Weirdly enough his season this year reminds me of Yuli Gurriel's last year. Gurriel won the batting title last year, ok power but not really enough to scare anyone. Mediocre defender at 1B. Gurriel is a few years older but if that's where Jose's career is really headed I'm not sure you bring him back next year.

Jose is consistently behind the count when there's guys in scoring position. He goes up there trying to make contact no matter where the pitch is. He gets down in the count and then swings at some terrible breaking pitches cause pitchers know they don't have to go in the zone with him with 2 strikes. His struggles in those situations are all mental and approach related. He's in his own head.

That damn humidor is at it again.

Curse that humidor

Also why the hell didn't the players have a meeting like this earlier. Why wait till there is a month left, you're 2 games under, and 5 games out?

He's not really getting swings and misses on his fastball. I haven't looked at the numbers, but that's what it seems like.

The Sox have to lead the league in only scoring one run with the bases loaded and nobody out.

I told you it looked like he didn't want to be here early in the year.

The Sox made this mistake last year and paid for it when Gavin has been bad for most of this year. I wouldn't let one Sheets hot streak dictate whether they get rid of Vaughn or Abreu. I also wouldn't let him get in the way of signing a left handed power hitting OFer.

Yeah I'm not sure I remember press releases for managers missing one game.

Yeah, I feel like this seems like a way for him to announce that he's stepping away for health reasons. He just met with the media and Hahn.

I'm not sure how the Sox and Menechino saw what they did against Houston in the playoffs last year and thought, "yeah we just need to keep putting the ball in play weakly". I'm not saying every Sox hitter should try to pull the ball in the air cause not every hitter is suited for that, but it's clear that many of our hitters would benefit from that approach since their power is being sapped by the current approach.

I hope Tony will be alright. But it makes you wonder if his age and medical conditions are going to take him out of managing. Maybe this can be an out for him and the Sox so he can step away.

Tito's boys don't quit I swear the Guardians have had some crazy comebacks this year.

The loss last night killed any will this team had left.

You know, usually we're hoping Engel just stays healthy and he's been pretty productive the last few years when he's been able to stay on the field. He's miraculously been healthy this year, but he's been flat out bad.

Are we sure Tony is gonna stay awake during the game after the Sox probably got in at 3 in the morning today?

Wow, the Stranger Things make up department sure is great at their jo.... Wait, that's not Vecna?

I wanna credit Luis for playing through it, but he's not helping anybody by doing that.
