So what do we do if Liam's spot comes up this inning? would be due up 6th

Why doesn’t ESPN have Liam mic’d tonight?   I would have loved to have heard him screaming profanities that inning!

At least only a GD and not a F—K tonight.  For FCC purposes alone.

AV just rakes!!!

Think Moncada will catch on that all he's getting is off-speed junk?

Maybe in August.

Is Vaughn our best hitter right now?

I'd think about pinch running Engel for Vaughn but I don't even want to chance taking out his bat in case things get weirder

Vaughn and Sheets are on the team because they earned the right. Vaughn signed a multi-million dollar contract and Jerry paid it. Nothing cheap there at all plus  the Sox system developed these two young stars and more

Vaughn is just hitting laser after laser. He's taking the best AB's in the team right now by a mile.

9th inning has been good to Vaughn this series

The numbers are lagging but Vaughn is consistently making the best swings and best contact. Good to see one get into the gap.

Totally.

A few things about this take.....

Normally I don't think anyone would care if Hendriks comes in for 6 outs on occasion. It's everything that came before- leaving Goodwin in, no double switch, letting Kopech in to hit, having him come out for only 1 more hitter after.

Its not the 6 outs, its everything leading up to it.  Spot on.

Liam bailed out TLR just hope Liam comes back strong in the 9th, hope the boys get at least one more run just to be comfortable.

Liam in a 6 out save situation isn't the issue, the issue is that he basically gave up an out by hitting Kopech just so he can go and walk Adames. If you couldn't stick with him for more than one batter in the 8th, why the hell did you let him hit? Why was he even in that situation to begin with when you could have double switched him and put in Hamilton in the 7th to avoid Goodwin's terrible defense? None of this shit made any sense and the fact that Liam is good shouldn't earn TLR any credit. 

What, Vasgersian? Coming out of college, no one -- and I mean, no one -- described Andrew Vaughn as raw and getting by only on his innate ability.

The pixie dust is wearing off on Goodwin at a good time, at least.

I get the feeling that a lot of people don’t realize that Moncada is the best player on the team right now

Yeah, he was described as one of the best pure hitters available.

Needed to keep Goodwin in there for his bat, apparently.

Is Engel even available?

Man our lineup is going to get so much better tomorrow 

Can't wait for about 3 weeks from now.....

TLR keeps getting roasted byESPN announcers for all his puzzling decisions tonight.

He has made stupid moves but TLR can dab on them with a win

Other than Madrigal, Rutschman or Torkelson, supposedly one of the most refined collegiate hitters, finished product, etc.  Nothing left to prove at that level.

Yep, team is winning in spite of him and weak af ALC.  Nothing more.
