We're going to get shut out, by the last place Twins, a day after scoring 3 runs on 2 HRs. So 3 runs, in 16 innings, none in the last 13 innings.

But pin this on LaRussa and Ruiz.  

Making sense not allowed here. 

Brutal AB

Losing 2 1 run games without any of Kopech, Hendriks, or Kimbrel pitching definitely wouldn't be the managers fault

AV with a terrible day.

Not Vaughn's day

this is the worst I've seen Vaughn since April, what the fuck happened

Yeah it’s a 0-0 game in 6th with everyone available in the pen, yet they went to their 6th best guy to face the middle of their order.

Andrew hung over today or some shit?

Not using the best relievers was a bad decision but in reality one of the top guys could have just as easily given up one run so at some point the lineup needs to do their part.

Oh, and don't bat Vaughn 2nd.

Might be the worst Vaughn has looked all year, totally in his head

The point of the game isn't to blame the right party for losing the game. The point of the game is to win. As the manager you gotta realize your offense isn't gonna score on a given day, don't throw your 5th or 6th best option so he can give up the lead when the rest of your bullpen is pretty fresh and rested.

Just no reason to punt these games like this. Sox have 14 games coming up against playoff caliber teams and Indians have 12 during that time against below .500 teams. 

Minaya out here ace'ing this thunderous offense.

When did Juan Minaya get this good?

Abreu shouldn't Quentin himself

Since when is Juan Minaya still in the league

pathetic

gonna lose another 1 run game. 11-17 in one run games is NOT a good sign for the playoffs.

Dude, it's August 11th.  

I'm not playing World Series Bullpen right now all because my anemic offense can't scratch a run.
