So we have in essence 3 sp...Giolito Cease and Kopech. And eventually Lynn.

If TLR quits, I could easily see JR using Hahn as the reason why it didn’t work out.

TLR already blamed Hahn for Kimbrel

I just don’t get it. It’s not Spring Training.

Last year I don’t recall one time that TLR used one of our stars as pinch hitter when they did not start the game.  It is also inexplicable.

I mean, I wouldn't have a lot of confidence in Harrison and Hasely against a guy who throws 100. Better hope Gose is wild. 

Hitting Haseley and Leury 2 nd and 3 rd back to back hurt.

You just know the way these games have gone today, there’s going to be atleast one more ridiculous thing before this game ends

Reese McGuire and Danny Mendick have our only hits.

Quit jerkin around. We have a game to lose here.

If TLR were a real troll he'd hit them back to back in the order. 

Harold needs to tell us what happened between JR and Hahn. He alluded to it in the past but never went beyond very vague mentions.

From 3-0 to ground out in two pitches. Sox offense has been so bad and boring of late.

Engel should have taken one for the team on the 3-0 pitch.

I'm so glad games in April apparently don't count.

Don’t expect more than vague mentions. 

Not sure why you don’t run Engel there. It’s not like the top of the lineup next inning is worth not trying. 

This is abysmal 

Now would be a good time to bring in Robert

Sorry just joining this game thread but can anyone tell me why so many guys are sitting this second game after just having two days off? 

It is absolutely inexcusable to not use any of these stars on the bench late in this game in a pinch hit role for any starter comprising the almost entirely AAAA squad on the lineup card. 
 

This is your biggest division competition and every win is worth double.

The TLR way. 

Seriously who gives a shit about that guy dancing?

There isn't a logical reason. TLR often puts this team in an unfavorable position due to poor decision-making. 

Keep walking the 9 hitter

I mean, I can't really blame Jason and Steve at this point. They've sat in Cleveland all day watching hot garbage. You need something to fill the time...

Apparently not for TLR.  Not going all out to win the second game letting our minor leaguers riding it out in game situations, with our major weapons sitting on their rear ends in the dugout.  TLR is back to his worse moves of last season.
