Negative Nick was praying he wouldn't hit into DP.

 

You sound exactly how I think.

 

Indeed, I am recently on record as saying JDM needs to be dropped down in the batting order--like 10th or 11th--because he has lost it.

 

moonslav has disagreed with me, which shows how much he knows.

[Maxbialystock]

I soitenly hope so.

 

Love the spelling. Also agree.

What is the announcer talking about? Red Sox don’t gain a game on Oakland by Oakland winning

[Maxbialystock]

Is it worth noting that the Guardians tried to bunt with two consecutive batters after a leadoff single and that it ended up costing them?

To make it even worse, they bunted on a 2-0 count against a guy with no control

[moonslav59]

JDM! My fav player of all time lol

 

The thing is, even if he went 0 for 5, sitting him more than one game is just plain wrong.

What do you expect from guys who attack the virtue and enormous added value of roboumps? I myself am hoping to see the day when we can finally get roboplayers. With all those computer programs and stats, we are close to having robomanagers.

Is JD actually your favorite player of all time?

[Jasonbay44]

Also, please excuse my horrible grammar and spelling issues. I’m a bit tipsy

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Love the spelling. Also agree.

 

I was a big fan of Curly Howard. Nothing could ruin the blades on a saw faster than Curly's head.

You don't know jack. If Cora had any sense he would have taken JDM to the woodshed and then benched him for a week.

[d-money]

Well hope they can close this. Come on!!!!!

Who even is the main guy? He seems to have something against Boston. I expect AJ Pierzskinski(Sp?) to be bad, he always has been.

Nahh I was just kidding because I wanted to sit him 3 days a couple of days ago LOL!

I disagree Rick.

[Jasonbay44]

Martin Perez in? What the f***

[iortiz]

Martin Perez in? What the f***

 

Damn!

[a700hitter]

Martin Perez? WTF!

[Jasonbay44]

Gotcha. I was very confused. I love JD, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think he’s even top 5 favorite for me haha.

This is the first game in a decade in which I left the sound on with TV announcers. I dislike all of them. But I was late starting housecleaning, so have been cleaning, listening, checking in, and even watching now and then I missed the first 4 runs of the game.

[iortiz]

At least their best hitters (except for Reyes) already batted.

I don’t disagree with you there, especially with nationally broadcasted games. A lot of the announcers these days are really bad, ESPN is probably the worst with Arod and crew.

[Nick]

Maybe Cora thinks 3 run lead is safe....NOT

[iortiz]

Gotcha. I was very confused. I love JD, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think he’s even top 5 favorite for me haha.

 

I liked him too, just wanted to sit him 2 or 3 days a couple of days ago. He was absolutely lost at plate. Seems like the day off worked.

[Nick]

This is on Cora....Whitlock had only thrown 14 pitches.

[iortiz]

f*** you ump, that was a strike!

[a700hitter]

This was a really bad choice running Perez out there with a free runner.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gotcha. I was very confused. I love JD, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think he’s even top 5 favorite for me haha.

 

Personally, I like JD a lot more than A-Gon.

[Maxbialystock]

No question the players get all the credit.

 

But here's a shout out for Cora, who kept Eovaldi out there just long enough, who kept JDM in the 3d slot, who used his bullpen brilliantly, who last night went with a semi-scratch lineup that actually won the game, finally, who has now used none other than Richards in the 8th inning of two straight close games, etc.

 

On the other hand, pulling Whitlock and giving the ball to Perez, who has not proven himself in the bullpen, was and is just dumb.

This Perez move is head scratching… I cannot comprehend why him
