This isn’t on TLR.  Kimbrel and Bummer need to be better.

Yeah and I don’t get planning on Bummer closing (clearly)

He would rather have Bummer  vs.a superior RH hitter who kills Bummers repertoire .

Kimberly faced 3 batters and got 2 outs. How is any of this on him?

More like Kimbrel looking horrible will cost them. He was lucky to get any outs that inning.

kimbrel was struggling a tad he a much more dominant strike out pitcher

was no reason to take him out after he had came back.

it was stupid.

Tony put a lot of trust in Aaron to do that. Bummer failed him, and this is basically a microcosm of Bummers season. I dont trust Bummer enough to do what TLR did, balls of motherfucking steel I guess.

Yeah, but you don't pull Kimbrel for Bummer, when you know the corresponding move AND the guys after him.

Literally makes no sense to trade for him and then not allow him to do what you traded him for

yeah. I obviously am being dramatic. but my point was just this. what a debacle. 

I don't disagree with taking Kimbrel out at all. Bummer basically got out of it but had some bad luck again on a high chopper. Things just didn't work out. 

CK can't pitch in the AL

If the Sox don’t trust Kimbrel vs. Lowe, OMG.

Tony is showing this team usually wins despite him, not because of him.

I usually don't shit on TLR but it's becoming clear his old school managing style ain't cutting it

Imagine putting the go ahead (winning) run on 2nd base to face a guy whose OPS is almost 800.

That one I agree with. You do not let Cruz beat you there against a lefty.

Wtf did we just do

Bummer needs to execute better. Hes been incredibly disappointing.

I agree, I don't think he can be trusted in the playoffs.  He can't throw strikes and then to make sure he didn't fall behind Meadows he throws it right down the middle.

Just counted up the posts. 

Majority wanted Kimbrel pulled at that exact hitter (announcers also called it beforehand).

Majority called for Cruz’s walk (Jason also agreed with the decision citing splits).

Look at this TB Lineup and this elite bullpen couldn’t hold the lead. Good luck in October

Most likely out after the first series.

I absolutely agree with everything Tony did there. 

and of course they get the big zone now

Now that’s a strike.  Get the fuck outta here. 

Zunino framed that unlike Zavala and gets the strike call.

Should-be-elite bullpen pieces Craig Kimbrel and Aaron Bummer completely blow it

Soxtalk - wtf Tony?

Tony overthought the damn game. Up two, just let Kimbrel try to get that last out

This ump fucking blows. Had a small ass zone for the 8th and now the corners exist? Fuck off.

This is the worst blowup yet. Seriously. If you’re a starter you have ZERO confidence in these shitbags in the pen…

On paper you’re ok with Bummer facing three straight righties potentially including Cruz?
