I believe the Sox business model is damaged ballplayers.

I believe most here would agree with that plan.

I would not.  Horrible 1st, but decent 2d and 3d innings.  He's thrown 67 pitches in 3 IP.  I think Cora will simply pull him when he seems to have gone bad again.  But he might surprise us and go 5.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wong looking for his 1st RBI.

Give Wong the ball.

[Maxbialystock]

Rafaela walks, steals 2d, advances on a grounder, and scores on Wong's sac fly.  Nice.

2 scoreless IP after the the 1st inning train wreck.  Sox are also scoreless in 2d and 3d innings.  

Great

Give Buehler a Hoodsie.

Then DFA him

Connor Wong with his Archie "Moonlight" Graham moment!

[Duran Is The Man]

Wong on pace for 2 RBI this year. that Mookie trade is looking better all the time.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nicknames have pretty much disappeared in baseball. However, I'm gonna give the Sox offense a nickname. Drumroll please.                  The Worm Killers.

It still doesn't compare with selling Babe Ruth.

[Tedballgame]

Get that bum out of there, Cora!

[Jasonbay44]

Why is Buehler still in?

We all hated losing Mookie, but I'm convinced the Dodgers were always going to outbid us for him. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Terrible call by ump.

[vegasbob]

Holding, 93 pitches in. HP more getting bored and inaccurate

Mookie was never going to re-sign with Boston.

[Maxbialystock]

Buehler gets out of the 4th unscathed despite bases full and 1 out.  

The defense had a double play they messed up.  It's hard to make that throw to 2b and then hustle back to 1b.  

[Maxbialystock]

Duran has lost none of his panache.  leadoff double in the 5th!

Like so many others, Walkers unprepared for the first inning, but then rips through innings after blowing the lead.

There is something very wrong with the game preparation 

Exactly my thought.  

[Jasonbay44]

What the actual f*** are Duran and Toro doing?

[vegasbob]

Idiotic  baserunning again.

Fundamentals 

[Tedballgame]

What stupid baserunning by the Keystone Cops.

[Jasonbay44]

This team makes way too many mental mistakes on the base paths. 

[Maxbialystock]

Horrible baserunning by both.  What is Cora's gripe on the calls?  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One very seldom sees that unless one is a Sox fan.

[Tedballgame]

Embarrassing baseball.

[Maxbialystock]

What is Cora saying?   

[Jasonbay44]

What exactly is Cora arguing? I think it was just dumb base running
