Just leave him in at this point. No way you put Rodon in this situation

Jeez Eloy...can he do anything without hurting himself? Hopefully only a tweak and not a full blown sprain

Yeah you’d have to be a real pos to look at his face and still doubt that there’s something not right with him. Felt bad for the kid just looking at him, can’t imagine what he feels like every night

Wow guess Yoan really didn’t recover. Guy looks like he just got done a marathon...and not just tired, physically beat up from running around the bases.

If Yoan can get back to even 3/4 of what he was last year it will make a world of difference

Don’t care what anyone says. Major leaguers that can’t bunt is pathetic. Especially in Dyson’s case since he can’t hit either

How does our coaching staff not know this guy obliterates lefties? Of all times NOT to use Cordero

What evidence did they see? And that quick????

Ricky is going to tax the important arms on this staff to win this 1 game. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fairly important game, but I’d rather have arms feeling good in the playoffs

You’re telling me you honestly don’t think he made the call? You think managers get ejected and just go take a shower?

I still say they should have let Santana beat us with 2 outs. I know it’s not conventional, but there’s no way Ramirez wasn’t going to kill us there. Santana has been terrible vs RH pitching all year. .602 OPS

How did that cost us the game?

I know putting the winning run on 2nd is dangerous...but I would have walked Ramirez. Let Gio face Santana But 1 more strike and it all works out... Edit: shoulda done what I said. Fuck Ricky. This is at least the 4th game he’s cost us

Who woulda thought a month ago we’d have 4 black holes in our lineup? Moncada, Robert, Encarnacion and Mazara are giving us absolutely nothing and it’s killing the offense. A manager with 1/2 a brain could at least patch 2 of those holes, but it’s going to be tough to win playoff series dragging Moncada and Robert around like anchors. Thankfully both are still very good in the field, but damn they are infurauiting at the plate.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

Never thought that I’d say that I miss Luery Garcia. That selfish head 1st slide really hurt us, I think the failed Mazara experiment would be over by now if Luery didn’t get hurt. How bad can Vaughn be in RF? We have multiple very good late game defensive replacements as well

What on earth are you talking about IF he can hit .280? You could cut off 1 of Madrigal’s arms and he’d still figure out how to hit .280.

Atta boy Nicky

Awful awful awful Luis. Young or not there’s no excuse for that

Option C- Keep Grandal, resign McCann, and trade Vaughn (+ probably a little more) for a top of rotation arm. May not be what’s best for the team in 5 years, but I think it gives us a real shot at being a real WS contender for a 3 year window. of course always easier said than done to trade for a very good SP...

Almost like Ricky had something to do after the game. Why Cordero over Colome?

Am I the only 1 with a feed picking up an annoying sound from the stadium?

Ya I don’t even disagree. But unfortunately we have an insane coach, so my thought is that if you take away Cordero all together Ricky can’t misuse the hell out of him. Sad for Cordero and sad for Sox fans that this is where we are

DFA Cordero and tell Cisheck to get the hell away forever. Ricky can’t help himself with either. And I understood not giving up a big piece for a SP, but not getting any bullpen help at the deadline was a giant mistake. They had to already known the Bummer prognosis. There were a handful of steady RP’s that went for cheap

I think some people (myself included) expected things to go poorly with Colome because the advanced stats really haven’t looked good for him for a while now. There was/is a lot of “luck” involved. But a lot like TA and his BABIP, sometimes you just have to shrug your shoulders and be happy with the results rather than question why. Perfect example of advanced stats not always telling the whole story.
