This game will end with 2 Ks and four infield groundouts but it will be Tony LaRussa's fault.

If they are swept out of the playoffs they need to look at the offensive make up of this team.

There are just too many terrible at bats in every game and zero adjustments made.  

 

  

Hendriks will get an inning after this one has been decided

Whats our record after trailing from the 6th inning on? I think we have 1 win, maybe 2.

You are right.  Why put all those resources in the bullpen, when we can’t score enough runs.  Trade deadline acquisitions did not add runs to our lineup.

Whoever said TLR is a sure Manager of the Year winner this season is in an alternate universe.

Because Engel and Goodwin baby!

Hernandez wanted to bunt in a sure fastball count. What are we doing?

They absolutely need stability in right field, and likely need a second baseman as well. One or two guys slumping is killing this team right now, because you have had 2 big holes almost all year.

Will Tony double steal with his guys?

No.... no he won't.

Just saying this team hasnt shown the ability to fight back, be it bullpen or offense. I really wish I had the record im sure someone can provide it. Only the Diamondbacks are worse from what I remember

They may score here and even win the game but this is the epitome of the last few months.  Just no rallies late in a game.

As numerous people pointed out when Moncada did it, you don't make the first or third out at third base.

Leury's line drive getting caught at 1B might actually come up pretty big.

Bullpen just can’t get the 3rd out

More like inability to come up with the big hit in any of the rallies they do manage to come up with. 

Wow how did that drop?

Can't believe that dropped.

Dallas outfield special baby!

Now Bummer not getting the final out looms large. 

Blah

On paper the Sox seem to be loaded with talent, but they haven't t been playing like a talented team.

Robert has been awesome but once again, over aggressive hitting leads to an easy out.

Just can't get a big hit when they need it.

They don’t look loaded compared to other AL contenders.  

Let's give the run back in the 8th

Gotta hit a better pitch than that. The bat went farther than the ball.
