Exactly. Also Brian Goodwin lately seems to get zero days off despite the fact that sometimes his situational splits suggest he should sit. 

Also regarding Robert, has anyone on the medical staff weighed in that he needs additional days off here and there? Or is this just armchair bullshit? 

Robert, did look like he was running slower yesterday as the game wore on. 

AAA pitcher gets Nelson Cruz out. How bout that.

Wright not doing wrong

Lol, suggesting that they are giving Robert additional days off coming back from a serious injury is "armchair bullshit" but all the other bitching about the lineup is legit.

He’s a streaky and non terrible option as a corner OF, but I just can’t figure out why managers insist some players are fine in CF when they clearly aren’t. One day emergency fine, regular backup out there? Naw.

This is ridiculous...Ozzie for example would have never played a guy in CF who had no business being there ?

Have a day Jake 

Same exact thing has his first AB. We can DFA Lamb at any point

Lamb trying to bunt down 4.

And yet that would have been better than the GIDP.

Go away Jake Lamb

Another DP Lamb

Or doing a Sunday line up if we won the first 2 in a series. 

I propse Lamb doesn't get a start ever again.

There was a play that I thought he would beat out and it wasn't close.  He seems to be either not 100% yet or a little spooked to really unleash his speed.

Might be a game without those 2 Lamb double plays.

Short bench unfortunately. Also stings we don’t have a legit CF on the bench right now so we are stuck with Goodwin as the backup.

edit: just saw that Billy Hamilton is starting a rehab assignment today!

We had no interest winning this game before it even started.

Some guys come back from serious injuries and play every day. I just have not heard anyone on the Sox medical staff say that Robert is, for now, a part time player because of coming back from that injury. Have you?

Lamb should be DFA after the game and bring back Sheets

Oh I think "We" did.

So we can throw out base stealers down 4 but not any other time.

With MLB's biggest division lead and barring some horrific turn of events, the Sox should easily win the division...seems like TLR is putting a premium on resting guys. Sucks for us but maybe he knows what he's doing?

I guess TLR then has decided to give up on the home field advantage race?

So the Sox are able to throw out guys trying to steal?!?!

There's still a ton of baseball left, and after that weird covid19 season, maybe he thinks a well rested team is more important than home field advantage? I dunno man, lol, just throwing shit out there haha
