I need to reiterate that TLR said he would alternate Hendriks and Kimbrel...then basically didn't do that. Who knows if Kimbrel doesn't blow chunks for the Sox if he closes a few games here or there, but we definitely know you can throw the crazy fucking Australian whenever and he gets shit done.

These TLR quotes are so much worse than anything he's done all season. It's exactly like Ricky, minus everything Ricky did right, but "Hall of Fame person" tinted.

I refuse to believe anything is TLR proof after watching him handle this pitching staff.

After watching what he did with Detroit this year and knowing that we get the dinosaur, I'm not exactly thrilled that we're stuck with TLR because Jerry felt bad.

This and Engel. fucking why???

TLR had one job: Get this team ready for October. Instead, once they basically had the playoffs wrapped up, he did nothing.

I am now on the same bandwagon as @Look at Ray Ray Run.

So glad we took out Engel. So glad Tony said he would alternate Kimbrel and Hendriks (presumably to keep Kimbrel sharp as a closer) and then didn't do that at all.

I feel like this team had far better positioning under Ricky, let alone bullpen performance.

Give me a vintage Grandal bat drop right here.

Had to look it up on Twitter. Lordy that was a dumb fucking thing to say.

And the Astros are 0-2 in legitimate World Series.

Honestly, I think I'm most pissed off because La Russa was supposed to be some soothsayer that had this team prepped for October. That's not what's going on.

Need Yaz to smother that.

WTF happened there? Is their dirt glass?

Would love if Leury just fucking smoked one.

Ugh, need better swings Yoan.

The Church of Eloy* will rise for this game. *Madrigal's place in the Church of Eloy is replaced by Kimbrel.

Strikeout pls.

Yoan fucking Moncada.

Based on playoff history in Houston with AJ in attendance, Sox are fine.

JFC. If Tim runs into one, you're going to hear Amin and AJ possibly go into cardiac arrest from sheer happiness. Chill people.

Unrelated to Astros, I love that the Bulls PBP guy and the second/third best catcher in Sox history are referred to as "Fox guys" in here.
