Mune needs to be benched!

Good news is that if the Guards lose, magic number will be down to 20. Magic number could be down to 17 as soon as Saturday morning.

The Guardians have 4 with the Tigers who have for the most part quit on the season.

Isn't Espada being soft fired anyways after the season?

likely unless extended run to ALCS or WS

We don't have a choice.

Yes they do. Let Newcomb be an opener for Thorpe. Pretty sure they can get you into the 6th with the game not already out of hand.

Pretty sure he’s done no matter what

We have no idea what happens behind closed doors

Teams need a vocal leader like AJ back in that era. We have no one like that.

How do they hit these cheap bloops and we just get under it. Ugh

If this is the real Mune, he might be heading back to Japan in 2028.

Yah, we gave up a kid who is still hitting well for Seattle's AA team. OBP and OPS still up there. I don't understand why Venable keeps starting Castillo.

because his starts give your other pitchers a rest day basically, he gives your team zero chance to actually win a game so his only surplus value is that he can go 5+

chris getz is a dumb mf, I hope people realize that, I'm glad he hired some smart people to surround himself with but as a decision maker, he just ain't it

Three more outs to get in CLE.

DeLauter Ramirez etc. though

A completely different game today. Even AJ acknowledges that.

Definitely, they checked out. That's where you need an Ozzie style of manager because you know Ozzie would get on his players when they half assed it. Will is too laid back, even comes off as if he really doesn't care.

Absolutely. Ozzie would be doing better than Will at this time.

Playing Murakami the rest of the way is grand larceny.

that might be the end for the Sox right there, I don't think Cleveland will sweep but I absolutely could see the Sox having a horrible series against any team right now with a pulse

We haven't taken advantage of the Crawford boxes even once this series. Houston has had multiple cheap hits/homers that way.

Sox after the Houston 4 spot have mailed in the rest of this game.

I think the grind of the long season has gotten to him.

With Mune collapsing...his resume is basically Vargas Peters the Crochet trade & Colson's sort of being fixed.

Urquidy being used in mop up duty now...lol. Honestly Urquidy is probably better than Castillo at this point.

Is that another way to say today's players are too soft? Lol

Like I said, he’s lost a lot of goodwill with his deadline. If they don’t make the postseason, not really sure he’s done anything to prove he’s actually good at his job

More motivation against former team...

this team needs a good veteran leader so bad, someone like Abreu, I just don't know who they could pick up because it would cost you a lot and I'm not sure anyone that good and respectable is even available

Looks like it'll come down to the Jays holding onto a 2 run lead in the 9th. Need it to happen, otherwise, this team is in DEEP s%*#.

Sorting out the pitching disappointments from where things more promisingly stood a year ago with Schultz Hagen McDougal Oppor is job 1A.
