Arguably the best reliever in the game is chilling in the bullpen but he can't pitch because it isn't a save situation. Cool.

The TLR gut check tally is on major decline. Wtf was that.

What in the hell.  Foster is good against lefties.  Why let Ruiz face Fowler?  This is Ricky-level incompetence 

lmao Tony this is fucking awful. If you're gonna use Foster let him start the inning.

Why did that look like Madrigal should have had an easy shot at that, but didn't come close? Maybe the camera angle.

Idk but when you're known for your grindiness and your defense, gotta get the uniform dirty.

Lol and LaRussa now has to buy time for Foster because he wasn’t smart enough to have his backup plan ready when Ruiz went back out there!

 

I mean its pretty funny mind games regardless

So it's Foster vs. Trout.

Still not liking it, but at least it's not your worst pitcher against the best player on the planet.

Like how he didn’t pitch in the 8th last night or opening day.  What a waste of money

Lot of questionable shit this series.

Totally unnecessary. Just have Foster warm after you tied it and have him start the 9th.

Maybe Maddon told him that there is a Country Kitchen Buffet that is closing in 20 minutes. 

 

Once again, Foster has to clean up a big mess.

Not many realities where this feels like the Sox win this battle.

He was supposed to be high IQ, but his base running suggests otherwise. Im starting to think he might not be the son a coach either. Or not the first one in the building each morning

La Russa looks like a zombie out there. He's like practically dead.

It’s just really late for him, he should be a bit more energetic when we play in the Central or Eastern time zones.

He's looked about as interested in managing as Ventura all season long.  Is he gonna be capable of lighting a fire under their asses?

Looks like being asleep at the wheel wasn't just an off-season thing.

TLR seems to make the wrong choice every time.  This seems like it is going to be another one.

Insert Dr. Strange meme here

Grandal, please hold on to the damned ball.

GRANDAL CATCH THE BASEBALL

Famous last words, but Trout doesn't seem to pick the ball up well out of Fosters hand.

High change on 0-2 to Trout is certainly a choice

Trout never picked up Foster at all

Man....ok, there is 1.

Foster thinks he's Giolito now.
