Mize (R) vs. Bello (R), about even but I give the edge to Bello
Duran LF
Abreu RF
Smith 1B
Devers 3B
Valdez 2B
Cooper DH
McGuire C
Rafaela CF
Hamilton SS
Once again, 7 lefty bats for the Sox, who are going for the series win.

Cooper at DH?!?! What’s Cora smoking?!?!
??? I thought you were a believer in Cooper turning it around.Originally Posted by notin
What's the better alternative?

You mis-spelled lefty.

Wong.
Anyone.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
But you're the guy who wanted him gone long ago.

Huh?
I'm saying Cooper and Smith should never DH. I've said that all along.
I wanted Kavadas called up to platoon with Cooper at 1B.

Yes, you're right.
The thing is we don't really have much better than Cooper at the moment. Wong would be the exception, but they probably thought he needed a rest day.

I think Cora always has reasons for what he does. People don't always like the reasons.

Apparently you missed yesterday’s game thread.
I questioned his choice of Valdez and his sub.450 OPS at DH. Valdez hit 2 HRs and 10 TB. So now I will see if lightning strikes twice…

I do not follow game threads with the same religious fervor as I follow most threads here, it's true...

I added explanations while you were typing. See above…
Got it. We're back to square one now. And moon has been outed as the grumpy one...

For everyone who was wanting the Sox to throw a lot of money and years at Jordan Montgomery, he has 3 wins and a 5.48 ERA. His ERA over his last 6 starts is 6.61. He is getting lit up. It is another example of why you should spend big bucks on older pitchers who weren't that good for most of their careers. Montgomery 41-37 with 3.78 ERA for his career. Certainly not worth 20 million a year or anything close to that.
He was pretty damn good for 3 full years, 2021 to 2023.
The Sox reportedly were not big fans of his stuff. It does seem like they were right to pass on him. Not sure if it wasn't just because they were being cheap, though, because they passed on a whole lot of guys.
