Taking Sheets out was brutal. He is not that slow, and had hit the ball hard tonight, and is a lefty. Why do we need that many pinch runners when we generally cannot manufacture runs anyway.
We could have used Sheets in with the bases loaded , but Grifol took him out and we have Seby instead. Who promptlystrikes out with the bases loaded. Grifol cant get anything right. It’s ovah!,
TA is just going through the motions. He is becoming an automatic out. Move him out of second spot. Looks like the boys have thrown in the towel on this game.
Last night was more brutal, bringing Grandal to catch in a tied game in the bottom of the night, with Bummer pitching. Not a good idea. Tonight Sheets is a home run threat and we are down three…..?
They said he had a cracked finger nail. Apparently it did not affect his swing. Touissant apparently did not get the memo of not letting Ohtani beat us. Next time send the memo in creole.
His lack of speed hurts him both ways, trying to get a head start, and slow running back to first. Sox have too many holes to be competitive in these close games.
