Robert needs to get his head in the game here.

Robert needs to get his head in the game out there

Robert made another dumb play throwing home. 

GOD DAMNIT

This is fucking embarrassing. 

I hate this place. Don't make me go to bed after 1 am EST, AND have a loss for it.

TBF this isn't how TLR usually manages and it's obvious as fuck he's trying to just play out the string with the most ammo possible heading into October, which is the right move.

That worked so well at the end of last season too

classic case of where a manager trying to get cute costs more than it was ever worth in his head.

TLR is a bad bullpen manager particularly in the 8 th.  He tries to over manage.  He lacks the killer instinct with bullpen.  Don’t screw around with unreliable relievers.

Meanwhile Kimbrel sucks as much as Burr.

Kimbrel's curve doesn't have a whole lot of bite right now. It's in the zone, but they're kind of hanging up there. 

it's a lot like a football team pussyfooting around against an inferior opponent and kicking FGs when you need a yard to get a 1st down.

Davis is someone he should strike out 

lmao how was that caught?

There is no way that is called foul if Jason was in person

Kimbrel, Kopech, Bummer are not that reliable too.

Don't throw him a fastball in the zone. 

one more of those he's out.

Davis had absolutely no shot

Curve looked fine to me

and he's out.  good job kimbrel.

I’m so in on Marte in RF for two years

Nice job by Kimbrel to clean up the mess. 

Kimbrel's curve is nasty.  It almost reminds me a bit of Shingo in the way it kind of moves like a Frisbee.

that bend over thing he does is so obnoxious

I was shocked to see Kimbrel had a 36.8% K rate with the Sox entering tonight.
