Time for Giolito to step up after that brutal loss. Be an ace, Lucas. Big game.

Thank you for creating this thread ASAP.

FUCK TLR

Giolito in an early game against a Twins team that has historically given him a lot of trouble...not a good combination. 

Two nights in NYC before they play a game there, after all this self inflicted bullshit. What could go wrong?  Need Giolito to step up and be a leader, and then they need to have an intervention with Grandpa before they play the Yankees. 

I'm getting a bit concerned....are we going to be forced to use Kopech as the closer if that Australian POS can't get his act together?

Wasn’t really his fault tonight. Bummer was at fault for that one IMO.

Need good Gio tomorrow. Pretty please.

Deserves more than my one +1

Sox can thrive without TLR but can’t thrive without Mercedes and his clubhouse support. TLR better not retaliate against Yermin.

You're not concerned about Hendricks?  I agree he should have gotten a clean inning to work with but that was a damn meatball he served up to Polanco there.

Grandpa should be sent to rehab ASAP.

Tony breaking the trust of his players will have consequences he must endure within the family. And my within the family I mean publicly and by members outside the family.

It is therefore only fair that the sox players strategically place rakes constantly near where Tony is standing today to recreate the following:

Ehhh. I wish he wouldn’t have given up the hit to Polanco, and would agree he’s maybe been slightly disappointing overall. But I’m not overly concerned,no.

My concern with him is that he's not even close with his slider. He keeps spiking it into the ground. Other teams are sitting all over his fastball. If he misses over the plate, like last night, they are ready to pound it. 

He needs to fix his slider or be pinpoint with his fastball.

That inning last night was the type of inning we paid him money to get out off.

In regards to Bummer, he should not have gone out in 9th. He had no command. 

In general, this bullpen needs to step up. Its the worst part of this good team right now. 

In regards to Today.     Giolitto needs to step up and fix his issues. Its go time for him.

I agree with this. Really disappointed in Bummer; I really thought that he had turned it around lately. But with Hendricks . . . if a guy scores from 1st, even with no outs? Like this says, we pay him a lot of money to get out of this type of stuff. We needed a strike out there, not a slow roller and a deep fly before that single. And not that single. 

I keep expecting our bullpen to come around, more or less all of them. But it always seems like one time a night, if we put out three relievers, one of them blows up and gives away the game. 

Back in the rebuild, when the Sox were bad, our bullpen never seemed this terrible. Is it because the Sox have more leads late in games, so there are more chances to blow those leads for the bullpen. I can't figure out why our bullpen is so bad. 

We came into the season with a bigger question mark about the bottom of the rotation and feeling good about the bullpen.  Now we are confident in Cease/Rodon and concerned about Giolito and the bullpen.  We need a big game from Gio today.

And fuck the Twins.

 

 

Lost a bit in the mess of yesterday's game was some tough nights at the plate...Tim and Andrew will turn it around and have big games this afternoon...let's go.

I hope TA hits a home run today.  First, for obvious reasons, second, because i want to see a bat flip to the moon.

It’s probably the best hitting lineup the Sox have right now with all the injuries and Grandal not datching a day game after a night game.

 

You could put Grandal at first I guess and put Vaughn in left.

Eaton at 2, baby....

 

Wooooooooo!

They must really not want to call anyone up from AAA yet, or TLR has veto power over roster moves to keep his shitty veterans around.  

We should be celebrating how awesome this team is for overcoming losing 2 starting outfielders an elite bench piece and a solid if not unspectacular left handed reliever and yet we have to talk about how shitty TLR is and how the game has passed him by and their is an open revolt amongst the players being played out on social media.
