I didn't mention anything Abreu does off the field, others did. I was talking about things that happen on the field of play that I don't believe can be accurately measured and given a proper rating across the entire league.

How much are you factoring his HR and two walks...today?

And Abreu really is a guy that is so much more than the stats on the page. I can’t imagine many would disagree with that, but there are simply too many things Abreu does on a daily basis that can’t be measured by WAR or anything else.

I think this is the source for a lot of us that are “critical” of LaRussa. It’s easy to say “It worked out so all is well.” But... 1. The move itself still didn’t “work out” It didn’t help them win the game the way they won it, and still gave away an out. 2. We’re happy and fortunate the Sox pulled it out in the 9th. But those are the type of decisions that should give some pause moving forward. The Royals did everything they could to give the Sox the game today in the 8th and 9th. I don’t know if they’ll have luxury against the Yankees, Red Sox, Halos, etc.

Lol, what a stupid game hahaha

With Grandal up next...I don’t blame the send.

Bottom of the 9th, down 3-2, Anderson on 2B, Eaton up with Moncada and Abreu behind him. Eaton had a HR earlier in the game. TLR had Eaton bunt Anderson to third....why?

That’s a terrible call, I don’t care what happens.

I love Jason sometimes “Oh Eaton shows bunt...he hit a homer earlier and been on base three times.........”

Incredible.

0 excuse for the Sox not to win this game.

Dylan wasn’t happy with that pull..kind of feel like in that situation with let him have one more batter

Don’t know. I was told LaRussa “Has these guys ready to play!”

If Cease has finally figured it out.....would be an absolutely enormous help to the long-term future of this club.

I mean, maybe spend less time posting in every thread on this board and actually do 8 seconds of research.

He’s not right. Was just looking at my texts, on May 2nd I was saying he wasn’t right, and he still doesn’t look like the guy we know.

Hey Lucas, anytime you want to remove your head from your ass, we’d love it

Hey needledick, don’t run with your head down. We teach 3 years olds that.

Oh god no

Two posts made with 30 minutes of each other. One is fairly critical of TLR, one is fairly complementary of TLR. In my opinion....both are well stated and true!

Then I suggest you put on your big boy pants, and don’t let it bother you so much. If you don’t like...you don’t have to comment or read it. I literally posted it in the topic “The TLR Manager Thread” But thanks for the advice.

BUT BARSTOOL HATES WOMEN!

The Sox have an incredible roster and are firing on all cylinders. Every Sox fan hopes that continues. Some feel LaRussa has made multiple inexcusable, very avoidable mistakes early in the season and are worried those mistakes could emerge when it really matters. I gave the Cody Parkey example about 30 pages back. So when @VAfan asks if the "TLR bashers are unhappy that the Sox are winning?" I feel it's appropriate to ask if he's trolling....because I really don't think it's that confusing to figure out. Maybe I'm giving too much credit to people.

I truly can't tell if you're trolling or if you really can't figure it out.
