Dugy back in the lineup today. That’s showing him Cora. He had already been benched for a game earlier in the season, so it should have been at least 2 games this time.

 

Maybe. OTOH it's August 6 and we really need this game. Verdugo has been benched twice now and has been publicly shamed. If that's not enough for him he should just quit playing.

[Randy Red Sox]

yeah well at least Cora is trying to win

Do you think there is frustration in the clubhouse? I think Cora has been frustrated for some time now with Bloom, and for the players you have 4+ OF. Two have to sit against LHP, and 1 has to sit against RHP, so I don’t think that is for a happy situation either.

Agree on that.

Perhaps we should just move on to summary execution. That would show him.

 

You have no idea why he was benched yesterday and neither does anyone else outside the clubhouse. None whatsoever.

Don’t need to know, but I’ll go with the word on the street that he was late. Probably forgot one of his chains, and had to go back, and get it.

Pretty sure Dugo will not be a Sox in 2024, but the league knows all about Dugo and may not give us much for him.

 

Hopefully, Rafaela and maybe Abreu can do better.

 

LF Duran, Yoshida & Refsnyder

 

CF Rafaela and Duran

 

RF Refsnyder and Abreu (Duran?)

 

Could we possibly try Rafaela in RF as Duran is likely better in CF than RF and Yoshida/Ref in RF is too scary?

[dgalehouse]

Verdugo is a pretty good ballplayer, who has at times shown what can most generously be described as " immaturity ." I will leave it at that.

He needs to grow up. He’s a 27 year old man

Not really.

 

Mookie had one year left and wouldn’t sign an extension…

Didn't sign an extension, that is.

Yes, "that" extension.

Randy, is this supposed to be readable?

[Elktonnick]

In any organization, when employees continually underperform and produce sub par performance the shareholders look toward a failure of management.

 

What we saw yesterday was not an isolated event. Any high quality organization would recognize management failure when they see it.

Once again, you have screwed up the formatting.

 

There has to be

before the text of the post you are quoting. You are leaving out all or part of the

part. As you can see above, my original post appears as part of your response because of this.

 

It’s really would be a lot easier if you just pit your response below the post you are quoting instead of trying to put it first. A lot less chance of deleting characters that need to be there.

 

But whatever.

Yup.
