When you pinch hit for Flowers, Soto has to pinch hit for our weakest hitter due up next right? How on earth can he not use Soto there?

Before the game when the lineup card is filled out and given to the umpire. ;)

You're acting like he's the only left-handed hitter who gets this shift put on him. Not even close. Rizzo gets it too. So does Ortiz and a lot of other good left handed hitters. Changing their approach to hit the other way would likely take away more than it would give.

 

Unless you're Mike Moustakas who has learned to hit the other way and also is 5 for 5 in bunting hits against the shift.

Amazing that all the coaches have kept their jobs this year.

Who are they going to fire?

Ventura had marginal qualifications; he was brought in to be a Cooper/Williams sycophant - to do what Cooper and Williams tell him to do. He's probably doing that job well.

Steverson was Hahn's lone hire, the lone non-insider, so Hahn doesn't want to give up on him.

 

Is there any chance that JR gets fed up with this s***?

Kind of weird he pinch hit for Flowers. Not that it makes much of a difference but there's always a chance Tyler runs into one to tie the game up since he's big lumox but Shuck won't hit a HR . Only power on the bench is Beckham and Soto and neither was used . Rosenthal is RH but if Ventura thinks the Sox get 3 straight hits to tie it he's crazy. Have to think HR in that situation even if Rosenthal gives up very few.

Anyone else notice the pitch Molina hit, Robertson tilted his head to the left? Maybe subliminally tipped what was coming on the next pitch.

 

Before he threw it, I was wondering why he did it. Sure enough, outside part of the plate, and Molina may have seen that too.

To be fair, Flowers really looks lost at the plate right now. Robin probably just didn't want to watch him bat again. WHen Flowers is going bad it's pretty sickening.

I'm talking strategy , you know, what Robin gets paid for . More than likely Flowers K's but have to be thinking HR there not a single and pray for another single and another single . No big deal Shuck could've got a hit, a walk, a HBP and with his speed scored on a double.

No wonder pitchers have the edge these days. Pitch after pitch Lynn goes for the outside corner mavbe the high strike also . But with the help of the ump he was getting a lot of strikes called there.

 

I just wonder why a hitter who can guess a FB on the outer half is coming doesn't move closer to the plate during the windup. Yes i know that wouldn't give a guy time to dig in that back foot but still gives you a better chance to barrel it up.

By the numbers:

 

7th time this year the Sox have lost a game when leading in the 7th inning or later.

52nd time this season they've scored three runs or less in a game.

14th time this year Sox lose a game when allowing three runs or less.

 

Good teams find ways to win, bad teams find ways to lose. Hit by Pitcher and catcher interference both loom big and both cross the plate.
