This offense is not going to be very good missing Eloy all year.  

If Collins and Garcia are going to play, the offense has 2 automatic outs.......Eloy has left a huge hole.

It’s scary...this is a very average lineup right now

Well at least we didnt cost JR any money.  

Well, Madrigal, Leury, Collins and Yasmani Grandal fighting with Bummer and the umpiring for the worst aspects of this game.

Tough luck no-decision to Lucas Giolito in his 2021 Cy Young campaign.

 

Perfect bullpen already demonstrating that there's NO SUCH THING.

This from the guy who says it’s ok Grandal gave up a passed ball with winning run on base because he was trying to frame the pitch

the passed ball literally meant nothing at the end of the day.

no one said it was OK; i certainly didn't.

the bullpen blew the game.

This lineup is so different without Eloys bat. It cannot be stressed enough. He really fucked the team over with his superhero shit.

Yep. Too many automatic outs if they run these lineups out there

This may be the quickest 9th inning in baseball history.

Love watching Iglesias pitch. Would have absolutely preferred trading for him than spending everything on Hendriks.

To release Yasmani Grandal?

Trade him. Whatever. Get McCann back lol.

I thought the Sox got rid of black holes in this lineup? Ugh

We are down 2 of our best 3 bats from last year... If anything its worse.

Yup this was my fear after Eloy got hurt. Outside of 2-3 innings this lineup was absolutely silent.

Chalk this one up to "the other 42" Hawk always talks about.

The bottom five in this order have to hit. 2-18 tonight. 0-4 from the DH. If Robert doesn't start hitting or at least getting on base aand the DH position is going ofer more then not  this team has a problem.

He found another cause to have this year.  It's not the passed ball.  It's not the defense.  It's the pitcher who didn't pitch the ball into the mitts properly.

what does this mean? The guy gave up 3 base runners in the inning. lol

I swear to god Sox fans will blame everyone but the person who actually didn't get the job done. I'm fine with giving some blame to Madrigal, but at the end of the day Bummer is elite of elite; he needs to pitch around that stuff.

Then why are both runs unearned for Bummer? If they aren't earned for Bummer...how is it his fault? Who earned those runs? Nicky?

so much for going undefeated with the lead after the 8th inning like the bullpen kept yapping about. 0-1.

Was that the case tonight?

sky is falling

I’m glad I worked through the first half of the game and listened to Len and DJ. Not sure what Giolito’s pitch count was but I was curious why they took him out when they did.

Madrigal sucked and Grandal let that one go. They looked like me swinging in the ninth inning like they just conceded defeat.

Get through the next six games and if they come home 4-3, I would call that a success. I always have hated west coast trips and always will. Funny that the Angels look like a playoff team but probably won’t win the World Series with this team. Poor Trout.

Nice depth on this roster that Hahn built again.

Please give this up. Its not happening

On the plus side, Sotheby's is having a Hong Kong spring sale April 16th-23rd.

I wonder how many SoxTalker's have ever frequented their auctions, or Christie's, lol?

Guess we're wealthier than I thought!!!

That game was not on Bummer.

How we gonna win games with a lineup consisting of Leury, Collins, and Madrigal?

Ask anyone. Our lineup is stacked and Eloy missing doesn't make this team any less of a WS contender.

Ask them. They'll tell you. 

Dont be shocked to see Leury at 2b tomorrow.

What baseball offically determines and what is actually true are two different things..

Colome's runs were also offically unearned tonight in the game he blew for the Twins.  Look up how that inning went!
