Bogey should have been on 2nd base.

Cora believed that he had the golden touch. He had a cockamamie idea about not getting his starters ready for the season, and his coaching staff has taken a laissez-fair approach and it shows on the field.

Vasquez hitting 5th doesn't help.

Dumbass baserunning. Poor coaching.

Vasquez hit a nice DP ball, but idiot Hinch pitched to JD.

I would walk JD and go after Vasquez

If I am Hinch, I tell Miley to let Vasquez beat him. DO NOT LET JD BEAT YOU! Cora is starting to believe his Press clippings. I think he just neutralized JD today with this lineup.

The way that Nomar made that play from the SS hole was spectacular. He would somehow twist and throw to first base while he was his momentum continued toward 3B. It was amazing how much he got on those theory and the accuracy.

We are playing like a high school team today.

Good one.

He clearly isn't listening to Smoltz. It's like they are having separate conversations.

They need him to start rallies and keep rallies going.

This lineup doesn't matchup well for Velasquez. They have bats.

Nice Bobby Sprowl like start by Velasquez. He's a turd.

I was sitting near a loud mouth last night. Of course, he didn't make it past the 7th inning. He was shouting some nicknames for the players that I had never heard. He called Devers "two scoops" and Benintendi he called "Benny Five Cents". I never heard these. Am I just out ofthe loop?

Beny looked like he was going to vomit when Vasquez kept the game alive with a basehit. Beny didn't want the chance to go for 5 K's. I think he could use a night off. Someone said that he looks like he gained weight in the off season. He looks the same to me. I don't see a change.

Last night had to be a first where a pitcher struck out 17 and his team supported him with 3 home runs and yet they lost. Talk about your anomalies! It is just one of those freak things. I don't blame Cora for taking him out. I blame him for pitching to Blackmon with an open base. The big takeaway from last night's game is that the bullpen needs reinforcing. Barnes takes the 8th or 9th, but another closer type is needed.

Here are my comments and observations about tonight's game and this Red Sox team. First, wow about Chris Sale. It was pretty obvious in the first couple of innings that it was going to be a special night for Sale. I had a strong feeling that he was going to throw a no-hitter. As the K's started to pile up, I thought Cora might let him come out for the 8th inning to give him a shot at the record. I understand that with his pitch count that Cora didn't want to push it. The crowd booed when he didn't come out for the 8th. Michael Chavis swings so hard and he obliterated his HR. He's not very big, but what power! In the 8th inning with 2 outs and an open base, I didn't like the decision to pitch to Blackmon who I consider to be the Rockies best hitter. It didn't turn out well. When Reynolds missed the pitch before the game winning hit in the 11th inning, I was thinking that Reynolds was right on that pitch and Brasier was lucky that Reynolds didn't hit it a mile. As for our late inning bullpen, they have out performed until now, but there isn't a lot of reliable talent out there. I like Workman, but I have said this before. He isn't an 8th inning guy. As for Brasier, we caught lightening in a bottle with him last season. Before the end of the 2020 season, he will either be out of the big leagues or he will be mopping up somewhere. The pen needs help. Calling Craig Kimbrel.

At the game mojo!

Evo is already throwing on flat ground.

I got this from a Yankee Fan known as Fat Man: Anyone heard this rumor?

They are playing well and are on a nice little run. Hopefully, they will keep it going.

Felix has been demoted as his stuff has been diminished.

They should invoke a Mercy Rule tonight.

Benintendi getting his power stroke back.
