Connelly making a great Early impression.

[Sox 42]

that's what I was talking about -  6 innings of a shutout and you are replaced!

Me too. But those people I know a lot about. All I know about Rafaela is how he plays baseball.

Early is the second starter behind Crochet.  I feel he is better than Bello and Giolito.  I feel more confident watching him pitch.

I'm just messing with you. There's enough humans in this country more worthy of hate than baseball players.

I was thinking that myself.

Well I guess that disproves replacing the new guy with the proven Vet/

Cora is a f***ing pussy. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another chUMP who could use a foul tip to the mask.

[FredLynn]

Weissert is about to gag the game away

Winning run on 1B

He just can’t pitch with men on bases. 
 

He’s about to blow this.

Daddy Day Care Cora.

[Nineintime]

Another awesome decision by Cora to bring in Weissert to give another one away.   This is in Cora. 

[FredLynn]

Here come the boos.

Early did his job. Cora has two reliable RPs. That’s it.

I want him and Breslow FIRED.

Weissert can’t be brought in to anymore high leverage situations.  He’s pees down his own leg at the hint of pressure and you’d thin Cora would know this but of course he doesn’t 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox have scored one run in the last 13 innings. Not really surprising.

Why didn't Cora trade for three more closers at the trade deadline like real contenders did?

Who should he have brought in?

I realize Cora and Breslow have crafted mediocrity offensively but does Fatse have any culpability with this anemic offense ? And all this talk of Bregman being this great leader  but he’s literally turtled for the last 6-8 weeks.

I'm not that unrealistic. I just want Cora away from the Sox bench.

You mean Breslow. He failed miserably at the TD. Everyone knew our needs. We needed a couple of truffles and Breslow brought us M&Ms. He deserves to be fired.

 Nobody. He should keep the kid there. He’s a f***ing idiot.

I'm hoping BREG opts out. Let some other team way overpay him.

In retrospect, no one. Or considering it was kind of the meat of the A's lineup, Whitlock.
