JTB Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Tough second game. It’s been fun hanging with you ladies and gentlemen today. If any of you have a family member or friend who gave the ultimate measure for the country, my condolences and gratitude. For those serve or have served...Thanks! Enjoy the rest of the evening.

YoYoIsMyHero Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 No one mentioning that Leury is contractually obligated to get into every game this season and that was the last chance to put him in. Dummies! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 So I take it we're blaming the use of Leury over Mendick (of all people) on hanging this loss on LaRussa? OK. LOL. How about spoiling a lead off double in the 6th, with Abreu, Mercedes, and Eaton all pissing the bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are tired of their manager not giving the team the best chance of winning the games. You do shit like this in a close post-season game and that's a bad thing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankchifan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 5 minutes ago, Vulture said: Right handed hitters batting .271 against clase so TLR bats Garcia for Mendick and leaves Anderson on the bench. That is just god awful managing there Anderson had to pinch hit instead of Leury. We needed a 2 run homer. Another major factor in this loss was to let Jose Ramirez beat us. Let’s not try that in the next two games pls. TLR managing did not help either. Old school have to hit lefty vs righty regardless of the cutter. Same as giving up outs with bunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible we keep letting that happen, especially considering the lineup he's apart of this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who have commented on the use of Garcia are actually just pointing out that it was the absolute wrong in game management decision by TLR. Its common sense to bring a player to the plate who can tie the game with one swing. We had 3 of those guys who stayed on the bench in favor of Garcia. Learn the game before you comment and maybe give TLR a call and teach him once youve figured it out. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, given that this is like the 4th time Tony has let Leury and Hamilton hit as tying runs, you have to figure it may have cost us .5-1 win by now.

So now you know to avoid game threads because managerial decisions are always discussed no matter who the skipper is, since you are apparently new to Soxtalk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
