Is TLR also managing the Mariners?

A sure double play without the shift. Seeger is a veteran who can manipulate the bat. Let’s not have automatic shifts on everybody.

If he is leading off he should understand that he needs to take a walk when available!

Probably looking at Bristol CT radar.

Please ask TLR to answer your questions. Looks tome these were his decisions.

What we need most is home run power for our home run friendly home park. We are getting out homered by our opposition at home. Need Eloy, Robert and Engel in the lineup to add more power.

One of the worse games of the year. Team looked listless. Collins was brutal. Relief pitchers awful. Lack of power hurt. Seattle hit us with a barrage of 2 run homers and the Sox none in a home run friendly home park. Something needs to give soon.

Burdi and Ruiz in the game do not help either. TLR threw the white flag early on this one.

Except Grandal.

TLR should help TA in these situations calling for a hit and run opening holes in the infield for TA to hit thru.

Another double play! Let’s hit and run more. Make the defense move. We hit too many grounders. Open up more infield holes with hit and run!

I guess same as Giolito. We can’t afford having Collins in 40% of our games regardless.

Ruiz and the Sox not looking good tonight, playing like a last place team.

Like I mentioned on earlier post why the heck is Collins in this game against a lefty pitcher? He has been a pretty bad hitter this season but much worse against lefty. He has been an out dressed as a baseball player.

I thank the umpires on this.

Why is Collins catching tonight against a lefty. He doesn’t hit lefties. Would have taken my chances with Yermin as DH and Yaz catching instead.

We are apparently still in spring.

Should have tried a hit and run and avoid a double play. Moncada is fast enough to succeed.

With Brantley offensive firepower, he can afford to be average in the outfield. Not so much now with Vaughn.

Have the Sox reviewed yet the current strength and conditioning program, including warm ups.? Too many injuries are happening.

I thought that they were doing remote due to COVID. Benetti misses too many calls on remote, specially homers.

Was better than Beckham pairing,

I Take my chances with The more experienced Bummer in a game situation and not with a rookie.

If they had some doubt about Crochet reliability, they should not have brought him in on a game situation when he had to face at least three batters. Go with more veteran Bummer.

Sounds like a good plan. Sox have been primarily a ground ball hitting team so hit and runs makes sense with the right players. Are you factoring Billy Hamilton in any scenario? Burger?
