Coasting off an easier schedule and hot streak. We didn’t want to believe that. They way this team doesn’t do the little things is very telling as far as upside. We will need a minor remodeling. objection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox still had a solid chance of winning if Kopech is brought in to start the 5th. Tony wanted Lucas to get a fucking win, because personal stats and status is the only thing Tony gives a rats ass about beyond the unwritten rules. And he didn't even have someone warming up in the bottom of the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 If you are going to hit for Engel, hit sheets and put Hamilton in RF. He played for things that never happened. Not using Kopech was dumb. All that being said. The offense needs to be fixed by getting MLB hitters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLR is completely overrated with HOF, etc. he is no longer HOF quality. His bad moves today hurt big time because is in a 5 game playoff, and there is no margin for error, like it was a regular season game which he screwed many but did not affect us as much. TLR wasn't HOF quality in 2011 with his bullpen phone meltdown in game 6. That shit basically cost them a World Series game. He was too old 10 years ago.

For someone who was supposed to stike out 35% of the guys he faced he allowed 2 liners to RF in a situation he's supposed to miss bats in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing Crochet in is incompetent. He had to pitch to three batters including AL hitting champion right handed Gurriel. We needed a guy that could blow hitters away, and that isKopech and Hendriks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been useless offensively since he came back. Can’t believe I am defending TLR a bit cuz he had just a pitiful game, but I didn’t hate that move as much as the pen decisions. Improve 2B defense after Leury flubbed a double player earlier. maybe Cesar runs into one since Engel had not done shit. Problem is, Leury fucked us in the OF too.

Paulie4Pres Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Where are all the TLR defenders, who jerked his drunken ass off all season long? Nothing to say after he does exactly what most of us feared he would do in the playoffs, and completely shits the bed and throws the game away? He's no better than Ricky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slewpy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 10 minutes ago, Thad Bosley said: There is only one person on this planet who thought bringing Tony LaRussa into manage this team was a good idea, and that’s Jerry Reinsdorf. We have to suffer through watching this guy show day in and day out how the game has passed him by just to assuage the ego of this owner who, for 41 years now, has frustrated the fan base with one bone-headed decision after another. Sadly, I think our suffering isn’t over, as the bromance will continue as long as this owner is around. Please quit. Why bring in Kopech in that stage of game. Tony saw early in season that lucas is soft as hell and went with his tough lefty out of the bullpen. How can tony be blamed for any of this? Both games more often than not sox turn 3-0 counts into outs and astros turning 0-2 in walks. lucas cost this team huge today. you absolutely CANNOT give free bases like that after the team gave him the lead. I've got no problems with Tony here at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent level on the team isn’t good enough to win the AL because Hahn fucked up the deadline. Ok - what deadline acquisition would have solved McCullers yesterday or prevented Lance Lynn from coughing up those runs? what deadline acquisition would have stopped Giolito from walking guys today? maybe - just maybe - and I know this is stretch - maybe the other team just fucking beat us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
