Throwing a strike and getting out of a bases loaded, 1 out jam in the 9th are two different things. Very few people are defending the performance of Hendricks today. Everyone agrees the dude needs to throw strikes in that situation. A walk in simply unnaccetpable. We’re talking about the bigger picture here.

When you play logic police around here, get expect to get called out when you don’t have easily obtainable information correct. Anything else? Or do you want to keep going?

It does when you bases your entire premise around this statement: Sox only tested for the first time against a good team and failed miserably. Swept. There was no “maybe I’m wrong” in that post, only after I called you out for being clueless. Be better.

Here is my issue. I don’t disagree with the logic from LaRussa here. The problem is when the first two got on...maybe make an adjustment. Bummer isn’t getting it done at that point. But instead no matter what the result, Hendricks was getting Judge, no matter what Bummer did .

Go pound sand.

THEY HAD WON 9 STRAIGHT COMING INTO THE SERIES. Jesus, for someone that preaches logic, you’re an absolute dunce.

Putting your closer into a game with bases loaded and one out in a tie game is not “whatever” but it’s ok if you don’t understand the game, it can be complicated sometimes.

They split against the Red Sox

So Hendricks has to be better there, throw a fucking strike..but once again he's not putting his players in a position to succeed.

So happy for Vaughn. Love to see it

And the excuse from the LaRussa stans is "The guy is in the HOF, it's easy to armchair quarterback on the internet." It's such a lazy response. Access to information has never been easier. The point is it IS EASY to to armchair quarterback because unless we are talking about unknown injuries, we're working with 95% of the same information the ML dugout has....and this stuff seems pretty obvious a lot of times.

Yes, that’s a problem...but I was always under the belief they were in fairly large trouble once Eloy went down from a power perspective. They could have brought in a LaStella or something (which I wanted) but I don’t know how much that really impacts this team. It’s not to say you throw your hands up in the air and say “Oh well” but losing Eloy and Robert can’t just be replaced by depth, those are two tremendously important pieces to the lineup that thus far the team has seemingly overcome...but that was always going to be impossible to cover over the entire season. At some point those injuries were really going to hurt. And my point is I think it is fairly unrealistic to expect the Sox to have guys as “depth” that could really impact things significantly to replace Eloy and Robert. (That’s not even taking into account the Sox “depth” for Eloy was the best player in baseball for April)

Yeah...that one seems a little unfair. Eloy is a 40+ guy, Robert should be at 20-25+ and I think we all thought Vaughn would be showing a little more power. Madrigal-Eaton are really the only spots in the lineup where decent to good power wasn’t expected.

I sat down today knowing things could take a turn quickly, plus I've got a million things on the to-do list. After that 1st inning...seemed like a good idea to start tackling them.

That’s dumb baseball. Time to spend some time outside

This team has had some weird luck. He caught that ball, the runners did the right thing there...but some weird shit has happened to this team this season, not to mention Eloy and Robert...

Your posts look trashy to everyone.

Post enough and people’s true colors always come out.

The trade Theo executed for Quintana really doesn’t get talked about enough in terms of how horrific it really was.

Guys like @Jerksticks and @tray are simply looking for attention at this point. Just leave them alone, the act isn’t as fun when no one pays attention to them.

Wow......

Evan Marshall in the 9th vs. the Yankees 3-4-5 in a tie game, AFTER an off day...got it.

Why is Evan Marshall in this spot? What am I missing here?

Ok that’s insane lol

There just comes a point when you see enough evidence to tell you Nick Madrigal has very poor baseball instincts
