Surprised the Sox hottest hitter isn't in the lineup. But I shouldn't be surprised knowing how much Cora loves platooning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tigers beat Guardians 2-1. Cleveland had tying run on 3rd with no outs in bottom of 9th and failed to score.

Cora just goes to his computer, and this lineup is what spit out.

These high stakes games are bad for my health. I can already feel my stomach acting up.

I'd have had Yoshida DH and Ref in RF.

IOW, Masa instead of Eaton. If I was Masa, I'd be pissed. Oh well, hopefully Eaton proves us wrong.

And take Duran out?

"Rolled with righties (and trying to ignore Masa) all year"

Most of the times I don't like what Cora does but at least he's consistent today going with all those RHB. Fried is an elite LHP so this time I agree with Cora. Also, we are one of the best offenses if not the best against LHP, aren't we?

Sox rank 26th in hitting against LH's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Two Pivettaboutits back-to-back have given the Cubs a 2-1 lead against the Padres in the bottom of the 5th.

At least that's what NESN told me this morning.

He was putting a clinic before that.

I also heard no so long time ago we were pretty good against LHP, and while you might be right, I think I have some good memories against LHP, but probably it's just me especially when Rommy and Ref were in the lineup along with Bergman, Story and even Narvaez.

Instant runs via the longball may be why you shouldn't have your clean-up man sac bunting at the beginning of the game -- like SD's Shildt did today.

Don't get me wrong, bunting drove in the winning run for Detroit today, but that came in the 7th inning.

Cora might not bunt tonight, but at least we know he'll order Sogard or Eaton to tap a one-stitch bouncer on the grass when it matters (trying not to open my first beer until the first pitch...).

Anyone wearing anything lucky for tonight's game? I'm wearing my lucky tee shirt.

When Sox players travel for road games, they all have to be double boxed.

ESPN opening: one shot each of Crochet, Bregman, Story and Fried. Seven shots of Judge.

Ok, let's go.

 

 

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's all hope Judge performs like he did in last year's WS.

Commercial over. There's Judge again in the dugout, Now he's running onto the field. He's having a catch!

hey... Max Fried is on the mound

Can espn fix their s***** ass audio? Jesus Christ 

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

ESPN has the volume up so loud on the crowd that I can't hear half of what the announcers are saying. But that's ok since I 'll be muting all of them soon anyway.

[Jasonbay44]

Kind of embarrassing there is this many open seats at Yankee stadium

Half of them with tickets are still sitting in traffic jams listening to the game on the radio.
