Seriously, what manager, other than Cora, in MLB wouldn't have had a pinch runner in for the ultra slow JD?

 

Does AC have a bench coach to even suggest things to him? That non-move is clear proof that the nerds aren't calling the dugout with "suggestions"

[Tedballgame]

Who thinks Barnes will hold the lead?

I've got a suggestion; Fire AC's ass.

Exactly.

[vegasbob]

Barnes to close,, shades of second half '21 and first half '22. I hope he can do it, but have little faith in Matt Barnes.

[FredLynn]

What is the in-game betting line that the Red Sox blow this game?

 

It’s Barnes in.

The odds of him blowing this game are 100%

[a700hitter]

Barnes could blow this easily

[vegasbob]

That bouncer by Celestino is the kind of luck guys like Matt Barnes have. Dribblers, errors and walks/HBP destroy them.. Get the DP now, but not a Barnes type play

[FredLynn]

Not even going to watch the postmortem.

This one is over

[a700hitter]

The predictability of this game is very humorous.

[a700hitter]

Barnes looks like he wants to vomit.

[Tedballgame]

I wish Barnes would just get it over with instead of prolonging the agony. We all know he is going to choke.

[a700hitter]

Hahaha! This is a tragic comedy and sooo predictable!

[Tedballgame]

Barnes is hoping to throw a strike.

[Maxbialystock]

His terrified. When he's confident, he pitches pretty quickly. Right now he wants to be anywhere but on that mound.

[a700hitter]

He should just turn around and throw the ball over the fence and get it over with.

[vegasbob]

Even if Barnes does somehow magically pull this out, i want to be on record as saying, I never liked nor respected him, he is soft, has no courage, no cojones, sweats a lot and cannot throw a strike. He truly sucks and I hope he and his wife enjoy next year's millions. he should donate it to the Jimmy Fund to help kids who are tougher than him. There you have it. It's been contained for awhile but Matt Barnes is not my guy, regardless of outcome

[Tedballgame]

So, you're saying there's a chance?

[vegasbob]

He should just turn around and throw the ball over the fence and get it over with.

 

Love it !

[Tedballgame]

Never doubted Barnes. LOL!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Barnes didn't suck as much as Cora.

[vegasbob]

I'm glad the team won and retract nothing about Barnes

[Maxbialystock]

He threw two fastballs right down the middle and got a GIDP.

[a700hitter]

Barnes escaped the BS.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm glad the team won and retract nothing about Barnes

[Maxbialystock]

Could not agree more. Whitlock had no business in that game and should be DFA'd. Really dumb move getting him on that Rule 5 thing. Same goes for Devers. He is doing nothing for the Sox. Trade him.

When are you gonna admit that Cora is your father?

[Tedballgame]

Maybe he is Cora.

Max, give a baseball explanation as to why Devers cannot adjust his approach at the plate to actually hit the f'ing ball . This has been a full month of misery for him and the team wherein he looks foolish. Does he not respond to coaching ? Is he stupid? Is he the definition of insanity .....you know ?? Talking to yourself at the plate when you continually mess up does not lead to big paydays, except from fools like Arte Moreno, who is now selling anyway.

 

Devers has an issue and needs to be coached out of it whether that includes sitting for a week or getting his mind clear. He will not fix this on his own, that's clear. Slumps for 2 -3 weeks happen but a month of garbage AB's hurts everyone, none more than Raffy.

[vegasbob]

Maybe he is Cora.

 

No, if Cora was his father , his name would be MaZbialystokZ
