Maybe an embarrassing loss like this is the kick in the pants this team needs. Stop listening to the media saying how good you are. Right now there are several teams in the AL alone that are better.
I’d really be pissed If I was a Sox Fan in Tampa who paid good money to see them play today, and then see this lineup on the field. Didn’t NBA teams get criticized for this same reason after resting star players regularly.
Anyone think that Keuchel is probably saying to himself “screw this” if TLR is going to put a weak lineup for his start. Meaning, He is not giving it his best effort.

The guy behind him should have bunted so they could manufacture a run or two with the weak part of the lineup. Actually, most of today’s lineup is weak.
When Keuchel pitches, TLR needs to put the best offense/defense combination on the field. Mendick at short does not qualify. If you want Mendick to get playing time, sit Hernandez.
