Red Sox (Early) vs Yankees (Schlittler): 10/2/25, 8:08pm

[vegasbob]

The reality is that  5 run inning. can overcome this deficit. 

On the other hand. this horse crap should show Breslow what he needs to do over the next 5 months

And you remind us of John Fiedler aka the voice of Piglet.  Same movie ;)

Early induced three grounders in a row and the Yankees scored four runs on them.

Gonzalez has s*** his pants and his hesitating

Realistically, they went as far as their talent permitted 

I agree with that. But there is no excuse for the defenses lapses in an elimination game.  Rafaela Gonzalez and Abreu along with Cone head

[Marty]

Hey, at least we're not the Mets.

[vegasbob]

Cora says the defense didn't back up Early and make plays.

Cora reminds me of Elton John in Tommy. Stands like a statue becomes part of the machine. Cora's veins flow ice water

[FredLynn]

Did anyone really expect more from this team this year? 

[ChiefsChamps69]

Welp this game I over, is it time to move on from Cora? He's not utilizing the talent correctly they've been mediocre ever since they made ALCS 4 years ago 

[vegasbob]

In all seriousness, I just don't get Abreu. and really don't  want to

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox have a lot of trade material to use in the off-season.

I believe they led the league in errors. More things to address this winter

[oldtimer]

Bad enough that we don't hit well, but the defense let us down in game 2 and now in game 3 Early didn't get support. We are dealing with a case where the Yankees have more talent. Too tall a hill to climb. Can't blame Cora for this one. Tomorrow we can talk about 2026.

Abreu is a strike out machine.  Needs to be traded asap.

Well is he wrong?  They didn’t make plays behind him. Statement of fact.

If you’re gone once they are eliminated this is a great time to leave. This one is ovah ovah ovah!

What talent are you talking about?   Please enlighten us on how you would have utilized the talent that’s on the roster right now differently.

As close as Cora will come to actually holding his team accountable. 

[d-money]

Duran and Rafaela 0-5 tonight.

Abreu had a long absence with no rehab in the minors. I don’t blame him for this at all.

No not wrong, but the passivity Cora shows may keep the kids calm , and he does have a contract and yelling doesn't score runs but maybe show some level of urgency

Not really. If you think that double by Bellinger was such as easy play, not sure what to say.  Lowe botched a routine grounder.  Beyond that, just lucky placements by the Yankees…

This isn’t on Cora.

But Max , the season is over. You only play the season to get to this point trying to win it all

What point?  The Sox have a crappy lineup and one good starter (although I liked Early's effort tonight) against the best hitting team in MLB with 3 good starters.  

To get to the postseason the Sox had to beat the Tigers (who are going to the ALDS) in their final series of the season.  It was that close.

You saying the game is ovah gives me hope.

Then why put him out there??

This is not on Cora.  But some fans think every loss means someone needs to be blamed and probably fired.  Certainly no credit to the opposing team.  The Sox either win or gave the game away.  No third option…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox should have signed Roy Hobbs when they had the chance.

Good job, Slaten!
