iortiz hits the nail on the head. Top of the 5th, 1-0 game, no outs and JBJ leads off. SS, 2B, & 1B on the right side of the infield and 3rd baseman is playing closer to 2B than 3B on the left side of the infield. Left handed hitting JBJ is up against a very good veteran left handed pitcher, Happ. The left side of the infield is so green and so wide open it is sinful that there was no bunt attempt for a base hit to get things started. With JBJ's speed anything on the ground toward 3B is almost an automatic hit.

 

But noooooo, strikeout on three pitches.

JBJ should at least try a bunt to 3rd or something. He’s an automatic out.

 

Only if he knew how to. Farrell asked him years ago to do a bunt, JBJ looks like his BFF died or his dog ran away.

.... and all three pitches were in the middle of the plate. Yes, it is unbelievable he doesn’t try something different. Wonder if Cora is taking notes from talksox, if not he should LOL!

Another awful starter who is looking like an ace against our lineup

 

To be fair, Eovaldi has a solid track record in NY.

With the MFY stonehands 3B, they should bunts

Love Cora's thinking of leaving Phillips to hit in that situation. Like the SOX have done most of the year, perhaps they can still win in spite of.

 

So who would you have sent up?
