The issue is his drop in velocity

I'd say that was the case if Gio wasn't missing bats. He's still missing a ton of them. 

If you want to argue that his mistakes are more hittable, there's a discussion to be had there.

Bummer having a bummer inning. Now there will be a bloop somewhere to craxk this game open 

I agree Pauline, almost the same lineup but not the same lineup if you know what I mean.

No excuses   Non juiced, juiced balls. You need to get better coaches, a manager and maybe a better trainer. All these groin pulls, hamstrings etc. is poor preparing in spring training. Isn’t the trainer supposed to have a plan to get these guys in shape? Also I have also blame the players for their off season conditioning. Regardless of the shortened spring training, come to camp in better shape. We need the baseball version of Phil Jackson and replace TLR. 

We need Ron Washington.  Nobody knows fundamentals like him.

The Sox don't need Washington - they need the next Washington.

Greenline, not sure if Ron Washington is the answer but I guess anything is better than TLR. He’s allowing The baseline coaches to take too many chances. He lets players dog it on the base pads. McGuire not running full speed and Mendick running will cost them this game. POOR CHOICES. POOR COACHING AND MANAGER AND MANAGEMENT FOR NOT STANDING UP TO JR WHEN HE WANTED TLR. As big an idiot that Hahn can be, he wouldn’t of hired TLR IF IT WAS HIS CHOICE WITH NO INTERFERENCE. 

Reese attempts a bunt?? Who the hell gave him that sign??

We have no fundamentals, no coaching, no training, no accountability.  We can’t fire the whole team so TLR has to go.  He is conducting this orchestra and he has failed miserably.  No energy, bad managing, no adjustments, terrible lineup construction, no accountability.  You need to pull the trigger HOF or not.

This reliever has a crazy arsenal for a non starter.  But mostly getting hurt on his high 90's fastball.

7 Plus era and nothing

Is that a quote from Dante's Inferno?

Funny how so many big balloon era guys "figure it out" against this lineup

Hoping that Mendick gets on so Yaz doesn’t lead off the ninth!

Everyone with TOR thinks he has the stuff to be their next closer, though.

Harrison buys himself another start.

Grandal facing 97+, wonder what might occur

Station to station attack requires at least 3 if not 4 hits in a row unfortunately.

Now we’ll see what YG is worth his huge contract  

Mendick having a TA game

Right now would be a really good time for Yas to earn his salary

GS for sure with how this season has gone.

Good job by Mendick to avoid having Grandal lead off the 9th.

Hes just so fucking bad

Grandal sucks. Get rid of him.
