Get off the fucking bag Abreu.  Jesus.

Farmer not impressed at all

Give him the hook... let him walk away with some positive mojo in this one

 

Now he's puckering, endless throws to first.  Confirmation bias probably but whatever.  

I don't agree with this.  Gio's velo was way down this inning, they should have pulled him after that single. 

OMG!  That was fucking hilarious,  Tilson flips a foul ball into the stands and it hits the shirtless oiled up fat old dude right in his man boob as the dude tries to throw two empties away.  that is priceless.

Good thing you held him close at 1st!  That's the exact thing I bet half the fielders are thinking right now.

You know this is the usual way thing happen for the Sox. We can’t score with bases loaded despite a good at bat but a .190 batting Twinkie homers to lead off the next 

Simply awful managing. He's handled Giolito terrible late into his starts. Probably ten unnecessary runs he's allowed when he had no business being in the game.

Now Avilan is going to give up a bases clearing double to completely fuck up Gio's line again. 

exactly

This x 100. When a young pitcher has a good outing, you let him leave the game on a positive note, rather than let him get himself into trouble. Ozzie was great with that. Ricky is god awful, and that is an understatement. 

nice managing  he's 30 points higher against LHP.  Renteria is fucking brain dead.

So glad I was wrong here. 

Nice play Yoan, knew exactly what to do before he caught it.  Good sign for a youngster.

We enjoyed Gio from the Stadium Club. 

Moncada and Anderson are so similar defensively. Elite range for their positions, dazzling plays from time to time, but sometimes messes up routine plays. If they both hit their defensive ceilings (which Anderson is already starting to do), we're gonna have the best defensive middle infield in baseball, and it won't even be close. 

Farmer legit said he doesn't know where a pitch missed because umpire and catcher was in his way. That's awesome commentating by a radio guy.

Shouldn't he be looking at a monitor?

Nice hustle Yolmer.

Triple down on you guys with this.  I don't know if Coop needs to say something to Rickey about this, or if he actually agrees with leaving these guys in too long, but someone needs to figure this out.  The point of this season and at least part of next year is to gain confidence and taking guys out in good situations is part of that. 

Good thing Leury didn't play

Moncada 2B

Anderson SS

Abreu 1B

Palka/Davidson DH

A. Garcia RF

L. Garcia LF

Sanchez 3B

Smith C

Tilson CF

 

Is by far our best lineup IMO. I'd love to see this used. Get Engel out of there, move Anderson up, play Leury every day 

Does the manager understand this is a "high leverage" situation?
