5/31 Reds @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[notin]

Go for the DP, give up the tie, screw Paxton out of a win after his excellent start . Cora will never manage again at the MLB level. Strictly AAAA thinking. Winkc looks like a jerk giving up the lead and allowing an HR. Just a mistake on pitch location says Wake. A true f***up on the error and the HR

 

Going for the double play is AAA thinking? Cora’s job isn’t to bolster Paxton’s stats…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Now, they'll bitch about brining Wink in, too.

 

In Martin we trust; all others pay cash. A BP is like a box of chocolates. One never knows what's coming out of the box from game to game. It's a crap shoot, I tell ya.

What an AB by Raffy

[Jasonbay44]

Really good AB by Devers

[vegasbob]

Bases loaded nobody out you try and get out of the inning minimizing the damage. Turning 2 is the correct play there. In 20-20 hindsight, it saved 2 runs. Get one out at the plate at the plate and the homer isn't a 2-run shot, it's a grand slam.

 

Both you and Max have no ability whatsoever to discern sarcasm or irony. You both are one dimensional. I do not need instruction from either of you on the subleties of baseball strategy . Save your commentary for someone who needs to learn about what is going on. The second sentence should have been a clue.

 

I now include Dipre and regrettably Notin in the crew who cannot interpret what they think they see. Sorry guys but you are missing it and falling for the joke.

[FredLynn]

That was our chance

[Maxbialystock]

He did say he'd be drunk.

 

My goodness gracious, he certainly did.

 

And Turner just grounded out with the bases loaded in the 7th.

I don’t think a single person thought it was irony. When your message misses the masses, maybe the problem isn’t the masses…

Well, I've used my share of irony, so I can't complain. However, what helps mask your irony is that you almost never have anything good to say about Cora.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe the only end story this season is if the SOX finish a couple of games above .500 or a couple of games below .500. This is an average team with way above average ticket prices.

However, can Duvall and Story, SOX version of The Lone Ranger and Tonto, arrive in time to save the season and send the town folks back to their homes safe and happy? Stay tuned. Hi Yo Silver Away!

Actually it saved one run, since a run did score on the DP…

Not really sure why Cora liked playing Refsnyder vs RHP…

OF course the correct defensive alignment was to go for the DP. That was basic . I honestly try to stay out of the personal BS that flies all over this site but I can't help some of you who take following this team quite so seriously. If you can't get some amusement out of them, what's the point. They are entertainment at best. They make millions in many cases for playing a kid's game . I rarely comment on Cora because I don't find him particularly interesting . I hope the team finds a comeback way somewhere in this mess of an ill composed team, which I lay on Bloom primarily

[Maxbialystock]

Huge clutch hit/double by Duran.

But in all fairness, you did say you'd be drunk.

All good.

 

But not Tapia's first two freaking swings.

[mvp 78]

“Sox best pinch hitter” swings at balls near his laces

[vegasbob]

What I said was that you may want to ignore my commentary for the reason that you may not find it relevant to your view of the action.

Because of your imbibing of alcoholic beverages. It's all good. This team is driving me to drink too.

You're kinda like the thread monitor.

[Nick]

My only point was after last night, we would go with our #1 option tonight and that's been Winckowski.

 

If you don't think Winck has been our best bullpen arm then we have nothing to talk about.

 

Yeah you are right about if Kutter did his job I wouldn't be second guessing.

 

But isn't that the point? Second guess when you don't succeed?

Interesting and successful use of Pivetta. That is encouraging . Now for some hits and at least 1 run

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers will hit a HR to tie the game. He is way overdue.

Meh. Winck is the best in the bullpen, but he stunk tonight too.

 

And of course it's crucial to hold back Jansen.

[Maxbialystock]

Box score says all three runs charged to Winckowski are unearned--thanks to Devers' error.

[vegasbob]

Nice , warning track power for another 1 run loss.

My prediction was about 10 feet wrong.

[TylerD]

Doing what we do best. Lose a ton and then maybe hit a 6 or 7 game win streak to keep playing .500 baseball
