8/11 Sox @ O's game 2

[Tedballgame]

This is going to be bad. AAA guy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No one up in SOX BP. Is Cora mentally challenged?

[Tedballgame]

This is all on Cora.

[illinoisredsox]

They didn't throw many pitches.

 

Both also pitched yesterday. Need people available tomorrow as well.

[illinoisredsox]

No one up in SOX BP. Is Cora mentally challenged?

 

No, he's managing the marathon, not the sprint.

[a700hitter]

Butler needs a basket back there.

[Station 13]

What a loser.

[d-money]

Get Cuevas out of the damn game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No, he's managing the marathon, not the sprint.

 

That's a BS eckscuse.

[Station 13]

Get Cuevas out off the damn team.

 

fixed

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank you, ump.

[OH FOY]

Butler knew to throw that pitch.

[Slasher9]

Thank god we aren’t using robot umps in this game

[d-money]

The nerve of Cora to stick with Cuevas there.

[Tedballgame]

Whew!

[Carbo-Diem]

This game is like walking in a dark alley in Tijuana. You don't know which mexican is going to ruin or save your day. Cue the racism remarks in 3,2,1....

[Slasher9]

I’m not a fan of butler. He came off as kind of a dick in his interview with guerin the other day.

[illinoisredsox]

That's a BS eckscuse.

 

Sale aint going 9 tomorrow. You are probably going to need 2-3 guys Sunday. A good manager thinks of that.

 

You don't manage in August the way you manage in late September/October

[Station 13]

hey the O's went down swinging. Never seen that before.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank god we aren’t using robot umps in this game

 

 

So true. Blind umps is where it's at.

[Slasher9]

That's a BS eckscuse.

 

I think the 9 game lead might be the reason.

[Tedballgame]

Cora usually never plays anyone that he was resting, even with the game on the line.

[Tedballgame]

I think the 9 game lead might be the reason.

Tell that to Don Zimmer.

[Carbo-Diem]

Cuevas won't even get a shower before he is on the bus back to Pawtucket. Some fresh limp noodle will be called up tomorrow. Sale, Pom, wet noodle.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale aint going 9 tomorrow. You are probably going to need 2-3 guys Sunday. A good manager thinks of that.

But you see, the SOX already have a good chance of winning this one. Why not win this one and tomorrow will take care of itself.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tell that to Don Zimmer.

 

+100

[illinoisredsox]

Tell that to Don Zimmer.

 

Zimmer never rested guys or gave back-ups PT, unless the starter was hurt. The 78 Sox were on fumes in August/early September

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, the SOX do have Monday off.

[Slasher9]

Tell that to Don Zimmer.

 

I still think that is why Cora was sticking with AAA in the 8th tonight...

[Tedballgame]

Zimmer never rested guys or gave back-ups PT, unless the starter was hurt. The 78 Sox were on fumes in August/early Septembe

The point being that the games now are every bit as important as the ones in September. Win now.
