Why sit your best hitter just to appease the guy who stirred the pot? Expand I’m grasping at straws as to why the change was made. It makes no sense to sit TA or toss out a AAAA lineup ahead of an off day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you take race out of the equation, it's sports and you need to have a fire to compete and win to avenge yesterdays loss and insult immediately. No backing down ! If the Sox lose both games it will totally suck and I will blame TLR for sitting Tim in the 1st game . This 1st game after yesterdays game should be looked at as a statement game. TLR is making a statement . I am afraid ! Edited May 22, 2022 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep benching your best hitter always seems a bit strange to me, but keeping TA fit and healthy is vital to this team so maybe TLR is being cautious?

Expand Making the playoffs is also vital to this team, and we’re staring down m a 6 game deficit 40 games into the season after tonight. TA abso-fucking-lutely should be playing both games today with 3 off days in the next week. At what point to Larussa decide the games matter? Once we’re 10 games back? 15? August?

SCCWS Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I know it is going to be very hot and muggy today. So play TA at SS one game and let him DH the other game. Yanks have two pretty good pitchers so we need TA's bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'd be more worried about the state of mind of his players. Any competitor doesn't want to surrender after what happened yesterday especially in the game following. I wouldn''t care so much about giving Tim the 2nd game off even with the off day tomorrow but the only chance to sweep the DH is to win the 1st game and have some fire in your belly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Not playing your best players, giving too much time off and inconsistent and poor play is a recipe for missing the playoffs. Fuck off Tony, you sack of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Yeah, no way these guys can play 2 games in a day! Well, the good players at least. The utility filler and journeyman guys? They are built for 2 games! I'd trade a 2022 playoff appearance (like that is happening at this point) for getting rid of the man currently filling out the lineup cards. Easily.
