Agree. It has been hard for the Sox to pad up leads late.

Yoan should not be hitting sixth again tonight. TLR never adjusts and doubles down on all his bad moves.

Incompetent statements from TLR. Bloops fell because Vaughn didn’t read the ball coming out of the bat well, and then was too slow to catch it. Vaughn had at least 4 misplays last night at RF. It is unbelievable that TLR will double down and put back Vaughn in RF. Ditto for Grandal DH again. No adjustments again.

Wasn’t Moncada an original 2 nd baseman? He should be able to play there adequately as neededl

Dylan go after the hitters, you got superior stuff. Do not nibble around. Avoid walks.

Anything can happen because pitching is the Sox Strength and in the playoffs it’s key.

Missed opportunity with both Guardians and Twins losing. Poor game by the Sox other than Cueto. No homers. 4 misplays by Vaughn in RF. Grandal an automatic out. TA 0-5 with 3 Ks leading off. The usual groundball city offense. No sense of urgency. No runners in motion. No clutch hitting. And so on and so on.

Would have preferred Seby pinch hitting for Yaz. Grandal is like 0-22 and Seby is hitting like .280. TLR is generally averse to pinch hit. No sense of urgency. No adjustment.

Moncada finally delivering and hustling. Wow!

And Billy Hamilton?

4 th misplay by Vaughn in this game. He has been completely exposed and cannot patrol RF again. If Engel would have been defensive replacement in the 7 th we would still be tied. TLR sleep at the wheel again. No way Vaughn should have been left in a tied game late.

3rd misplay at RF by Vaughn. Can’t afford having Vaughn at RF in a tied game late. Engel should have been in RF.

Think we will need to hit a homer to win tonight.

Moncada and Grandal are rally killers as well as the double play ball. Have to hit and run with Robert at first.

Vaughn is looking worse at RF than even Sheets. Vaughn has been exposed in this game as awful RF once again.

What about hit and run with Abreu at bat and Robert at first. Odds of success higher than letting Abreu hit into another double play.

Moncada is just awful. Taking another 3 rd strike looking. Leaving 6 men on base so far. No way he should be hitting 6 th. No higher than 7 th and Grandal should be hitting 9th. These 2 guys are killing all possible rallies.

And after a walk to the previous hitter. Dumb dumb.

And Moncada second easiest. Don’t understand why Moncada is hitting ahead of Pollock. It may have cost us 2 runs.

You are being asked to Cease and Desist.

Grabbing some bench finally, as instructed by Hawk.

I am glad Grandal is hitting 8 th. Hitting 5 th was a disaster.

Robert is faster. You prefer not to have Vaughn clogging up the bases if he gets on hitting second IMO.

Send the memo of not let Seager beat you.

We have the best pitching today in the Division, and that goes a long way.
