We’re going to be looking for a new catcher eventually. Grandal hasn’t lived up to what we thought he was going to be.

Grandal was exactly what we thought he was his first two years…obviously this year has been a different story

Leave him in to die why?  He's clearly done.

Yep

Everyone in this thread knows Kopech shouldn’t have started this inning, still in the game.

Youd rather have Ruiz?

Leaving him in huh

Yes, without a doubt

We are leaving him out to die so that he has one last chance at a win.

Only hope for this offense is if a few of these guys get injured enough to go on the IL.  

Can TLR go to the IL with brain cramps?

The Sox have 7 guys getting regular playing time with negative offensive fWar : Harrison, Engel, Moncada,Pollock , Grandal, Sheets and Garcia

How does the hitting coach not get replaced?

He’s going to give up 4 runs because of the win stat.

That's what happens when you gamble on players past their primes trying to get bargains.

The fucker was falling asleep when the game started.  So damn embarrassing

Would have preferred Big Energy instead of Garcia tonight.  Lineup construction tonight was bad.  Our 6-9 hitters are brutal.  No Pollock is also bad.

Didn't you see the shot of tony pre-game pretty much struggling to stay awake

Love it.  Great job by Kopech.

Oh thank goodness I was wrong.

Lol I was wondering if anybody else caught that

Somebody put it in the game thread in a tweet so we saw it.

7 innings 2 ER without a slider is a huge win for Kopech and the team. Unfortunately the offense doesn’t have a pulse and is going to potentially ruin a good hard fought battle for Kopech

The new hitting coach desperately needs to be someone with zero connection to the organization.

 

Reds super utility ace Brandon Drury, posting an .845 OPS while earning $900k this season.

he has a 2.2 WAR in 346 AB's, 20HR, .275 BA, 62 runs, 59 RBI.

Compared to Leury  -o.8 War, 247 AB, 3 HR, .211 BA, 30 runs, 18 RBI, .511 OPS  earning 15 million for the next 3 years

Who's the utility player??

TLR is insane. Kopech is done. TLR also didn’t send the memo to not let Salvador Perez beat us.
