Yes, but don’t forget thatOrioles are in the toughest division in MLB, the AL East, so they are competing against the better teams in AL,not the Central Div mediocrity.

Plus shut out yesterday. How can we expect to compete against the Twins and Cleveland with this kind of performance and this kind of manager?

Could we trade our HOF manager for the Orioles manager?

Orioles are not as bad as we think. Regardless, the Sox have been pathetic in this series with 1 run in 15 innings.

He is a GMO genetically engineered to look as a hybrid of Burger and Lynn.

Following their manager’s cue. Need a managerial change urgently to shake this team to a core and get afresh start, before it is too late.

Leury is becoming an automatic out dressed as a baseball player. His defense has also been bad. I presume TLR likes that he is a switch hitter. If we don’t win the Orioles series and get embarrassed TLR should resign or be forced to resign. Then Leury needs to go afterwards along with some of the coaches. Enough is enough. We need to save the season.

TLR has to go. We are going nowhere with him in charge. His incompetence is beyond belief. He stopped being a HOF manager in the 20th century. Isn’t 1.5 yrs of TLR managing the Sox now, enough for JR to say we are now even, thank you for your service, Sayonara and move back to Tampa. Sox should pay for a one way first class ticket o’Hare- Tampa for TLR.

If TLR is going to play Leury he needs to bat 9 th. Sosa should have been in Leury’s spot to begin with.

TLR bad decisions went viral in theDodgers series and he has become the laughingstock of the baseball world.

The Orioles are embarrassing the Sox. They are the hungrier, faster, younger team.

Particularly with Leury playing softball style short CF.

Getting shut out by the Orioles at home for the first time since 2004.

Orioles were far better than the Sox in every aspect of this game. This series will not be as easy as many thought. Will need good pitching and hit a few out of the park to prevail.

TLR is averse to pinch hitting.

The lack of homers at home have hurt the most at our homer friendly park. We are getting out homered by almost every opponent. We have a minus 54 run differential at home. We haven’t gotten the HR production expected from Moncada, Grandal, Eloy, Robert, Sheets, etc. some+due to injury.

Almost another collision Leury/Sosa. This time Leury playing shallow helped him to make the catch.

And you forgot about trotting out Leury to CF as well.

We need to hit the ball out of the park. Warning track shots are being caught left and right.

Made our bad outfield defense look even worse. I think our guys underestimated the Orioles. They look better than us tonight.

It will be hard to win at home when we are not hitting homers.

Surprised TLR did not go for his usual lefty righty matchup. I think his aversion to pinch hitting might be larger than the matchups.

You were right. He didn’t take a ball and swung at a splitter in the dirt on a 2-2 count.

And Leury even less.

Prefer Zavala to Leury. Seby has some pop and can tie the game with a swing.
