4/20 + 1 vs. Twins

[Tedballgame]

Who would you rather have right now, Winckowski, making the major league minimum and pitching very well or Benintendi getting five years and 75 million, hitting .273 with no homers?

Wink doing the job tonight.

At what point in the season would it be fair to declare Yoshida to be a dud?

Brewers wearing some softball uniforms tonight.

This ump doesn't like to give the corners to the pitchers. The Sox have gotten more calls than the Brewers

[Maxbialystock]

Pretty big win--in spite of the execrable catching by McGuire. But it's clear Cora has his number and will do what he can to mitigate the damage by a subpar catcher.

 

Big dinger by Dugo plus rbi's by Duran, Refsnyder, and everybody's favorite whipping boy, Yoshida.

 

Cora once again brilliant in his lineup and substitutions although, honestly Winckowski and Jansen were inevitable once the Sox took the lead.

 

The key move was pinch-hitting for McGuire, which brought in Refsnyder for the hit and rbi and Wong to settle the pitching down.

[Maxbialystock]

Now that Cora has demonstrated unequivocally he knows how weak a catcher McGuire is, he needs to do the same for Kluber, hands down the biggest loser on this Sox team. Pure poison.

I am willing to wait, but I think the call can be made long before that if he doesn't turn things around.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice win tonight. Good to see the SOX can still win with no contribution from Devers. Fortunately, Dugo did contribute.

Btw, Casas's lengthy AB's are similar to a long, bad joke. The punch line isn't worth the wait.

[Oscars]

Nice to see Duran making regular hard contact .

[Oscars]

Fantastic to see Dugo finally fulfilling his potential with the bat

Cora is a really good manager and a big reason this team is staying afloat, IMHO.

Yep. With almost anyone else these Sox could easily be labeled "unmanageable."

 

That said, it's still the players who score/drive in the runs and get opposing players out. All three Sox pitchers looked pretty good last night. Pivetta was not helped by McGuire's weak throw to 2b on the SB that led to a run for Milwaukee. Same goes for McGuire's incorrect positioning on that throw home by Verdugo and another run for Milwaukee.

Despite his experience handling balls outside of home.
