What a joke. Chris Young has no business hitting in this spot.

Lol that's a joke. What are you doing Farrell? What's with you and Chris Young in the 9th innings?

Can we at least partially pin this one on Farrell for leaving one of his HOTTEST HITTERS on the bench in a perfect spot for him? Ring up another of many frustrating losses this season.
Honorable mention to our fearless DH (as in he inspires no fear)

Sox lose with gutless offense. Yankees win on 3-R walk-off HR.

That could have negated the bad offense for the rest of the game.

Chris Young has a career 85 wRC+ vs. RHP. Someone beat that into JF's skull.

Tim Britton @timbritton 6m6 minutes ago Re: Young over Bradley, Farrell cited Colome’s reverse splits and Young’s success with bases loaded.
--- It's so painful having such a dumb, incompetent manager, no matter how marginal his decisions are in the grand scheme of things.

Right, JF. 'Cause we all know Young's success with the bases loaded is indicative of a true skill with no random chance involved at all, right? It seemed odd to give JBJ a day off two days before the AS break to start with. Not hitting him for Young there is inexplicable. Yes, JBJ has mashed a lot more against LHP this year (.364, .444, .636, 1.081) than against RHP (.256, .338, .452, .790). But I don't make much out of those SSS numbers. And oh yeah, Hanley is dumb as a box of rocks. Eck knew that off-the-plate breaking ball was coming. We all did - except for Hanley.

What a waste of a day for the Sox. The Yankees did it in the 9th and the Sox didn't do it in the 9th.
That was a dreadful AB by Hanley. Zero plate discipline whatsoever and swinging for the downs. Shoulder or not he's been lousy this season.
And what a dumb decision by Farrell. Bradley is flatout a better offensive player than Young, especially against righties - reverse split by reliever or not.
The Red Sox should have found a way to win that game. Porcello is well on his way to 20 losses, and there's a number of them that are totally not his fault. The way the offense takes the day off when he pitches is pretty annoying.
Hope the offense comes out swinging tomorrow and Price is at the top of his game. It would suck to lose 3 of 4 to Tampa, especially with this winnable one slipping away.

Lol he has one of those "gut feelings," seriously? This is what gets managers fired but it won't because this team is too good to get Farrell fired.

Everyone in the division won today. Let that soak in when it comes to Farrell not making the right decisions.

Brilliant idea to fire the manager of the team with 2nd best record in the AL with all the injuries and this team has suffered.

I understand why some think that JF is awful and should be fired, but the Sox are still in first place, with a 3(?) Game lead. They're still the second best team in the AL, despite the team's black hole at 3B, inconsistent starting pitching, etc. I'm not too concerned about him being the manager, at least until the playoffs start.

And even if one buys into the basesloaded thing, I have to believe the bulk of that for Young came vs LHPs.

Anyone know Colome's splits versus good hitters as opposed to versus bad hitters..??

So the one hit the Sox had that inning was with a lefty at the plate with Moreland. Then the Rays intentionally walked Benintendi. Does that tell everyone here what the Rays would rather see versus Colome?
Clearly they were still aiming to face the right handed batter in Young regardless of the splits and John also didn't use his "gut" to recognize that.
