Game has become too fast and complex for TLR. This is not your 20 th century laid back summer pastime anymore.

Eloy cannot hit behind Grandal nowadays. He has taken the bat away from Yaz.

Comerica Park has taken away three homers away from the Sox today.

He doesn’t have to let him go. Just sweeten up some nice retirement package.

Should hit Eloy farther down in the lineup.

Never make an out on third with no outs. He would have been in scoring position at 2nd with no outs. These are the kind of plays we need to avoid in the playoffs. Was this on Yoan or Super Joe?

Can’t be worse than Keuchel today.

Almost a 2 run homer by Schoop. Time to start warming up somebody.

Sox 3rd highest ground ball rate in the majors. Need to be more patient to look for a ball you can hit up in the air.

Wished he would have taken the first pitch with the bases loaded, and a pitcher with control problems. Another double play. What a curse for the Sox.

Best lineup of position players of the season. Let’s clinch with our best and not back into the playoffs.

An average player could get under the radar screen and move on, but it is more difficult for high profile star, who is being promoted as a family man, example to the community and to be the face of baseball.

Cesar has become a slap hitter with no power in his swing. Who/where is our hitting coach?

This bad Kimbrel trade is competing with the Mitch Trubisky draft as the worst Chicago acquisitions of the decade.

No doubt. We run away to the best record in the AL.

Need to play more small ball in those close games with the Guys that are thumping it.

We should play our playoff lineup, until we right the ship. No more fucking resting around. If you are physically able to play, you play. You don’t want to coast into the playoffs again. We need to be in full gear.

That would have worked. With either of these two in the OF , Sox would have had HFA for sure. We would not have had to play scrubs like Goodwin in the OF which cost us some games. This was a real need and every game contributor, not another reliever which we did not need.

MLB was priming TA to be one of the main faces of baseball. TA was in line for more endorsements particularly after the FOD game. All this is in jeopardy now.

Maybe the Sox didn’t want to deal with Boras? Bryant was ideal complement , good power, fly ball hitter with upper cut swing. Can play several positions including RF. And we needed him. We didn’t need Kimbrel.

We need to play more small ball, putting the ball in play, putting runners in motion/avoiding DPs, moving the runners over, going the other way, cut down on 2 strike swings, not swinging for the fences on every pitch, working counts,taking walks. The way we are playing now unless we are hitting homers, it is hard to win.

Even Avi would have looked mighty good at RF for the Sox now.

Maybe his personal problems are affecting him. Maybe we need to sit Liam in the dugout more often. He can light a fire on the guys including TLR

Need TA to step up. He has the swag and leadership qualities.

Another one of many inexplicable decisions coming out of the Sox dugout.
