Well that was a fun game until the 7th inning. The place was vibrating after the Stanton GS. Went with a friend who is a Red Sox so I had to put up with his exuberance for quite awhile. But I guess it could always be worse: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2796930-red-sox-fan-dies-after-being-electrocuted-train-surfing-after-game-vs-yankees

 

Was a wild hard fought game by both teams! I missed a little bit at the end but damn it was an exciting game.

Cora changed Mookie, that is always loudly broadcast in games. Plus 104 and counting. Cora should be a slammed dunk MOY.

 

Interesting. How does any manager change a player?

 

Right now Mookie's WAR is 10.2, which is fantastic. Two years ago it was 9.6 with OPS .897, rbi's 113, dingers 31, runs 122, SB's 26, etc. Right now his OPS is 1.057, rbi's 77, dingers 30, runs 121, SB's 28.

 

The big dip in performance was last year 2017, which you appear to want to blame on Farrell in order to give Cora credit for transforming him.

 

But what really happened was that Mookie blossomed in 2016 in part because Ortiz also had a great year. Last year, no Ortiz. This year, JDM, the reincarnation of David Ortiz.

 

I do think Cora has been terrific this year. And I normally disagree with Jung on practically everything. But, boy, the case for Cash is pretty strong, and I am indebted to Jung for reminding me. His word choice of miracle is just about dead on.

Couldn’t catch the game entirely because I left a bar to go to another —reasons can’t be said LOL!— which btw were transmitting the Jets vs Browns game, and the manager of the bar didn’t want to change the channel because other clients were supposedly watching the football from the beginning — honestly, who the f*** cares about Jets vs Browns game here in Mexico for God sakes LOL!

 

Anyways, It’s been a great season for our Sox thus far. Now with the division under the belt, it’s time to plan, make the final auditions/adjustments, rest and do all the neccesary to get into the POs in the best shape as possible.

Or maybe it was a fun game from the 7th inning on.

 

Stanton's grand slam just about did me in.

Great job Red Sox!

 

Thank you for not allowing the Yankees to sweep.

 

And thank you for not giving them the satisfaction of keeping you from clinching the division on their turf.

 

Bring on the playoffs!

 

And let the the wacky line ups begin!
