Have to treat that situation like it’s the fame ending run and instead he vacates home plate to get a useless out at first. Just dumb baseball

[Tedballgame]

If Toro had bunted toward first the game would be over

[Tedballgame]

I cannot believe they didn't send him on that. What an idiot the third base coach is.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Timeless hitting.

Moronic just moronic 

[Tedballgame]

You put in a fast guy to run and you don't send him there? Dumb, dumb, dumb.

How does Eaton, a good runner. not go for it ? Forget the throw was bad

This gets worse by the moment

Dumbest team in baseball

[Tedballgame]

F***king dumb coach at third.

[moonslav59]

No wind left for the sail.

[moonslav59]

You bunt for the sac fly. WTF!

[Tedballgame]

How do they not send the runner. Cowser does not have a good arm. Look at the scouting report you idiot.

Not necessarily. The ball was hit to short center. Might want to blame the batter or give credit to the pitcher.

[vegasbob]

It is one thing to get beat by a better team but it's altogether different  to lose to a weak team.

The hitting is beyond poor 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Won't get fooled again. Wanna bet?

[moonslav59]

One of the most sickening games in a long time.

Even if he had the best arm in MLB, you gotta go.

Final Forty update: 2-3, total negative trend.  could be disastrous trip to NY

Not every ball hit in the air qualifies as a sac fly.

This is why additions to the team at the deadline are so important. Instead we stick with marginal players and pay the price.  

These guys are not marginal.   I'm mad but not stupid.  Anthony, Bregman, Abreu, Story, Rafaela, Duran, Narvaez, Gonzalez, Anthony, and Ref are good.  I suspect Lowe is too.  Crochet, Bello, and Giolito are the best 1st/2d/3d starters for the Sox in a long time.  Buehler and May have both had good starts (and bad).  The Sox are ranked 2d in MLB in quality starts.  The bullpen has stunk recently, but tonight they were great--`1 ER in 7 freaking innings.  Chapman, Whitlock, Weissert, Wilson, Bernardino, and Matz are all great to good to decent relievers.

But are they playing lousy right now?  They sure are.  In 11 inning's they had exactly one good hit--by Lowe.  They were 0 for freaking 14 with RISP.  Buehler only lasted 4 IP and gave up 2 runs.

Yea, It was not a no-brainer, but i think you gotta take the chance.

3b coach blew it, which means he fit right in with how the Sox played tonight.
