Oh God
-
I hope all the stories about Eddie having a great spring are true. He deserves a break. Did not at all like the way Farrell used him.
-
Well that should kill the possible injury to Mookie conspiracy theory. He has hit and now he is in the field. Cora just rested him and it makes no sense.
-
Got a run in. Mookie Betts is the best everyday player on this team. Probably isn't even close. You don't rest the best everyday player on the team 6 games into the season with a day off to follow.
-
I think Martinez will come around at the plate once he gets into the groove. I still do not want to see him playing in the OF in Fenway at all...that is simply too dangerous an OF for a guy like Martinez. We will not be able to afford to have his bat out of the batting order for any long stretches and you really have to be a good OFer just to avoid injury in that OF. I still would have had Mookie playing in this game. Its the 6th game of the season with a day off tomorrow and Sale on the mound. If you end up giving up 1 run to get 1 run, what are you really? Hard to look at Martinez game tonight in a positive light unless he hits one out to win it. Just because we sat him tonight does not mean he would not have been available for a late inning pinch hitting role.
-
Geez that 7th inning had a nasty 2017 feel to it. JBJ's has the ball finally find his bat...doubles and we can't get him home safely from 3rd with 1 out.
-
Plus we truly cannot afford to have Martinez out of this batting order for any extended period of time and the Fenway OF is IMO the most physically dangerous OF in all of baseball. In fact, I don't even think its close. LF is dangerous, CF is dangerous and RF is dangerous. No breaks anywhere.
-
I know not playing him out there tonight means he would ride pine and have to come in to pinch hit late in the game if at all. But I am OK with that over what Cora did here. That is a lousy way for Sale to have to give up a shot at a win without having his best stuff.
-
All could be well here with one swing
-
I know I am harping on it but somebody has to explain to me why we have to give up a run like that in the 6th game of the year when we likely have one of the best if not the best defensive OF in baseball normally.
-
I don't hate Sale. Martinez is not an outfielder any longer. Thats all there is to it and if they put him in any outfield position in Fenway we are going to have another Ramirez or Swihart moment. I am barely fine with him in the OF away from Fenway. But I can already see this coming. Cora will use him in the Fenway OF just enough for it to be a screw up. Maybe will get lucky and that play tonight will convince Cora that he does not belong out there no matter how much he might want to play in the field.
-
Watch, Sale will give up 3 runs here and kick Cora right in the nuts when he comes out to get him. That will be our "its them not me" for this year.
-
Our base running has obviously improved over last year's efforts.
-
And that is why I don't want to see Martinez in any part of Fenway outfield. If he is struggling with this place, he will end up like Bump in the Natural...going through a Fenway wall to his grave. That was flat awful. Ramirez plays 1st and Martinez is the DH in Fenway.
-
26 pitch first inning for Sale. Good thing this is the Marlins
-
Please don't make me have to go with the ever popular "We leave a lotta' guys because we get them on" again this year.
-
First of many JD
-
It is actually about time for the offense to show up more than it has in the first 3.2 games. I will take that error at 1st base. But errors were about how we scored last year. Another year of that I will just be prime for the funny farm.
-
Be nice to see us finally tee off on somebody. A bullpen game would seem a good opportunity.
-
Nice win....no more outfield dancers....THANK GOD!
-
Memo to Alex...it might take some working through the entire organization to get this team to bunt ..at all. I would give it about a century. You might have a shot then.
-
Loosen up Sox and just play the game. Its tampa for God sake.
-
Was just going to say that. The trop can't even get something new that is right.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
jung replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I just love being a fan of this team. First game of the season completed and BANG, we get an Alex Cora Managerial Decisions thread. I am not at all criticizing the thread. Not in the least. Like I said, I just love being a fan of this team. -
Love seeing the Sox aggressive at the plate. Thank God!
