Lynn has become the 2023 version of Dallas Keuchel. Every time he starts, there is a feeling of doom. Too many gopher balls.

Agree that Pedro has been making some better moves lately. I like that all players on the bench are available to pinch hit, contrary to TLR not pinch hitting with “resting stars” last season. Pedro is also using the running game more often than TLR did.

The problem isthatguysarenot paid to take walks. Big money goes to sluggers and to good pitchers.

And they keep swinging and missing sliders out of the zone. And they are very impatient, not working counts, not waiting for a good pitch to hit, and not taking any walks.

The only falcon that has nested at GRF was Hawk Harrelson.

Vaughn should be benched the next game. Price needs to be paid for not moving the runner over, and swinging for the fences on pitches out of the zone. It is also unwise to hit Vaughn and Grandal, our 2 slowest hitters back to back.

Dumb move. Kelly also got hit hard the last time out. Pedro is not the answer.

No Moncada, no Benintendi. Poorer defense. Think we need to have the best lineup possible on the field in this situation down 2-1 in the series.

Grifol is not the answer.

I am surprised that he has that many,

Is Lawrence as cold as Chicago?

He is slower than Vaughn, and that is hard to be.

It’s streaming, coming through the internet. Maybe that’s the reason.

You get a 3 month free trial, after that they charge you a monthly fee of less than $10/month. Don’t remember the exact number. You can cancel.

I couldn’t see it because I could not record Apple TV. Unfortunately, the trend is for more sports going streaming in different platforms asking for a few dollars a month.

I would venture to say that Rick Hahn would have been fired already by 99% of private sector companies, due to his high failure rate and incompetence.

Bummer has been a Bummer.

They showed more patience taking 11 walks.

Just read that Madrigal was just optioned to Iowa AAA by the Cubs. Another Sox first rounder.

Zabala was also an automatic out tonight.

While issuing 11 walks to the Tigers tonight.

It’s hard to walk when we don’t take many pitches. We are in swing mode regardless of who is pitching.

If we would have taken every slider , we would have been better off, as we could not hit them anyway. But our guys don’t seem to recognize the slider.

Maybe he has some tapeworms sharing the food. He is pretty thin otherwise.

Pedro should have brought him in to pitch to Baez, who is strike out prone, but Giolito did not have strike out stuff tonight.
