Funny how we still pay so much attention to who gets the W.
-
Right. And in the same way, Cora showed gutsy patience with E-Rod in the Tampa game when he gave up the 3-run homer to Franco. E-Rod got 6 outs after that with no more damage. And he pitched well in his next start. I shouldn't be getting all gushy here, but Cora really knows how to handles his players and get the most from them, IMHO.

Quiet mvp mojo!

How many wins will the 2021 Red Sox get?

Agree 100%. -
If they were counting on Sevy that was just another mistake. It all comes down to Cashman. He has carte blanche on all personnel moves. He put this team together with shaky roster construction and he hired Boone to be his yes-man manager. He signed Kluber and Taillon and he traded for Odor. He left Whitlock unprotected. He has absolutely lost his touch.
-
Absolutely. Picture us swapping managers with the Yankees. Scary thought, isn't it?
-
"Fire the ever living f*** out of him." Nicely put.
-
If we are so fortunate as to make the playoffs, I would want Dalbec on the team. When he's hot he can do some damage.
-
Alright Larry. That was pretty good.
-
I don't think it was something Cora necessarily wanted to do. But he wanted to nail down this game. Whitlock is absolutely torturing Yankee fans. One guy says we should thank Cashman for rebuilding our bullpen (Whitlock and Ottavino).
-
Go Angels!
-
Framing = fooling ump and turning ball into strike. Robot umps now!
-
Meaning, you would put him at leadoff anyway, correct?
-
I like Dalbec, but he's on a bit of a short leash now. They've handled his struggles as best they can. He has to put up better numbers starting pretty soon.
-
One never knows in this game.
-
One particular move that Yankee fans have been crushing Boone over for days was when he pinch ran for Voit (on 3rd base with no outs, tie game), in the 7th inning of the game they lost 6-5 to KC. They say it was another instance of Boone's automaton-like approach and lack of feel for the game. What happened was they had to move DJ from second to first and insert Wade at second, and Wade muffed at least one play, and of course Voit's spot came up again.
-
But they are a stunning 23rd in MLB in runs scored. 13th out of 15 in the AL!
-
Dalbec made some nice plays at first last night, at least. He's still struggling, no question.
-
A little early to say, but maybe this sticky crackdown is going to work out after all. We're still seeing some dominant pitching performances. Eovaldi pitched his best game of the year. Things could get interesting when the temperatures drop again, though.
-
Nice game for Eovaldi, huh? He was still bringing it in the 7th and 8th.
-
He looked good behind the plate though. He looks like a major league catcher. In Bloom I Trust.
-
Yeah, I know. But that was kind of a must read for a tortured Sox fan. Dan cashed in on the 'c****' thing, but man, there really was some frightening history. The thing I realized for the first time was the parallels between the 1946-1949 seasons, and the 1975-1978 seasons.
-
That's not quite true. The Yankees had come from behind wins in each of the last 3 series before this. They made last night pretty interesting too. What I see is Cashman's shaky construction - so heavily loaded with RH hitters, a gift to a guy like Eovaldi - and Boone's namby pamby leadership style.
-
Looks like Bloom did just fine getting Wong in the Mookie trade too.
-
Yes, I'm one of the people who actually read The C**** of the Bambino back in the Nineties. I was convinced we would never win anything after reading it LOL
