Tyler Flowers ruined the night. He left 5 guys on base himself... Let that sink in for a minute.

He leaves guys on every night yet he has to play do not get it at all.

I'm sure Adam LaSuck will be in the lineup tomorrow

We got hit 3 times tonight and they got hit 0 times. We need to retaliate tomorrow.

Robin has some explaining to do

 

It's like he didn't look ahead to possible matchups in the top of the 9th

I'm sure Adam LaSuck will be in the lineup tomorrow

This line-up just makes me want to cancel my mlb.tv subscription. Can't believe I pay 25$ a month to watch these some of these guys.

Trout gets hit Tuesday no excuses.

But have you seen his pitch framing, I hear it's amazing.

Hitting Trout is idiotic...then they'll just come after Abreu, and what's the point of that?

 

Getting baseball's franchise player (along with Harper) injured or preventing him from appearing in the post-season?

They hit Abreu twice today

Missed the game. What did he do now lol?

Saladino's swing is awful. Way too long

He's not a MLB caliber hitter. Great defender. Utility guy unfortunately.

 

Inexcusable managing by Ventura.

He's one of the worst managers in baseball, way worse than Ozzie. But hey managers don't matter. So don't worry bout it. He doesn't mouth off to the press which is what everybody wanted. He's keeping Sox off the front pages quite well.

That was ball four with the bases loaded. Sure he should have swung but it was ball four. The entire lineup and its approach sucked. Too many weak pop ups to center off that soft tossing lefty.

They have hit Abreu twice in a week, Sox suppose to let it go.

Robin doesn't need to explain anything. Nobody gives a s*** above him.

With Avi being DH, he probably just made the straight platoon switch

 

But why is the question. Served no purpose since Avi is decent against righties . Better than LaRoche against righties for average. Maybe was hoping for a walk ? IDK then even if he walks he can't use Shuck or Sanchez to pinch run because they are the lefties left on the bench to PH . Just don't take one of your only chances for a game tying HR out of the line up. If people get on base then use LaRoche if you need to PH for Flowers or Beckham.

Would be nice to see Danks hit their leadoff hitter tomorrow just to set a tone. Actually Rodon was so much in command he probably could have hit a guy tonight to get it out of the way. A benchclearing brawl would be OK for this team. Suspensions won't matter. Danks may be due for a bad outing anyway if he gets ejected after hitting the leadoff hitter.

No. Let Samardzija do it if anyone.

Waiting for the train in Anaheim. What a waste of a Monday night.

Pretty sure Flowers heard me yell you suck balls. That was my highlight.

.407 vs. .758 is your answer. RH hitters are hitting .176 with a .407 OPS vs. Joe Smith. LH hitters have fared a lot better.

Actually the one they called him out on had the zone. A few he swung at did not.

Salas and Street have big splits as well. Can't believe Beckham got two at bats vs them.

But it was still LaRoche leading off with no one on base, so no speed at all which is essential to scoring a run . Also he could 've been used in the 9th against Street or later in the 8th if any one got on. Like it or not Avi is still one of the teams better hitters and fastest runner ,and with Saladino, Beckham, Flowers all RH hitters due up there would've been plenty of chances to use LaRoche with far worse hitters than Avi up.

I know this is sarcasm but I believe he's top 5 in baseball in pitch framing. It's a big deal. Pitchers also like throwing to him. Rodon has been great with Flowers behind the dish. I would expect that Flowers will be on the Sox for years to come. They just need to get a better starting catcher and let TFlow catch Sale and Rodon.
